[OOC] Walking Dead - Miami, Florida

[Tearstone]

That had kind of sort of occurred to me.

[liah]

Also! Another question. I know I ask a lot of questions, my bad about that. But could I make another character? One to possibly kill off later in the RP. An RP isn't an RP unless someone dies.

[Tearstone]

Of course, my dear! I kind of had intended for everybody to be able to make two... one for each group. This has garnered a lot of good response, and I'm still willing to do that. The boat crew might have to find a bigger boat, which isn't a problem. I actually have planned for that contingency. So yeah, feel free.

[liah]

Oh, sweet! Ok cool! I'll have his profile done sometime tonight. I'm a night owl so it'll most likely be done before the morning. I want to make a sort of weird character. Everyone else seems to have all their marbles in a bag. I think I'm going to do something interesting.

[Hakai]

There may have been a good chance Zephy's marbles where slipping a little LOL

[Tearstone]

Sweet, another night owl. <(o),(o)>

[Sturmgewehr]

Well I initially intended for Mike's wife to be a NPC but our dear GM Tearstone gave me a better idea. So I decided to make a sheet for Mike's wife as well but she will be in the Asylum group, unlike her husband.

Name: Sarah Zimmerman
Age: 23
Height: 5' 7"(171 cm)
Build: Average. Sarah dosen't have much muscle so strength is not exactly a strong point when it comes to her, but she's in good shape and goes to the gym about twice a month.
Appearance:

Family: Sarah's father, Frank, is dead, becoming a walker himself. As for her husband Mike, she has no idea where he is, if he's still alive. She prays he is still outhere somewhere, hiding from those things.

Personality: Under normal conditions Sarah is a very sweet and friendly person. However she is not afraid to stand up for herself or those she cares about if the situation calls for it. There were times when she proved that she can also be quite hateful. As a child she used to be a pretty cowardly person, but learning how to shoot made her more gutsy.

Occupation Before: Library assistant.

Notable skills: Sarah is very good at photography. It's what she wanted to do in life and what she studied for. She is also a very good cook. It was kind of a necesary thing to learn since she was the only female in the house and both Mike and her father weren't exactly very good at preparing food. Someone had to prevent the poor fools from dying of hunger. She is also a very good shooter. Much better then her husband Mike. Her father has been teaching her how to use guns since she was 12.

Bio: Sarah was born and raised in Miami. Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. Frank West, Sarah's father, worked 20 years as a cop for the Miami PD. Then he quit the job and became an NRA firearm instructor. She was only 12 years old when Mike Zimmerman moved in and occupied the room that her father rented. At the same age her father also started teaching her how to use guns. As the years went by, a spark started to develop between Mike and Sarah. She was 18 when the two of them had sex. For her that was the first time and she loved it, but Mike couldn't get over the guilt. Three years later they got married. Her father opposed them getting married at first but gave up as time passed and the wedding got closer. Sarah was just 21 when she got married, Mike was 6 years older. After marriage Mike expressed his desire for the two of them to move together someplace else but in the end he gave up the idea because Sarah didn't want to leave her father all alone in that big house.

When the outbreak started Sarah, like most people, was at work. She took advantage of the chaos that installed and managed to get home safe only to find her father transformed into a walker. She locked herself in her room from where she got out through the window with only a backpack with a spare of clothes inside and the gun she has been using for self protection for 6 years now. Despite the issue she had with her left leg(see disability/fear) she managed to avoid walkers and be absolutely quiet. She went to find Mike but the entrance shop was sealed tight and the guys inside told her that Mike went off to find her. With no place to go Sarah spent the next days hiding from place to place. She barely found something to eat, and desperation grew inside her. One day, while she was scavenging for supplies she was almost caught by a group of walkers. She started running away from them, with no direction whatsoever, but she quickly grew tired because of her bad leg. In the end she decided to take shelter in an asylum that was on the other side of the street. She quickly crossed the road and started banging desperate on the asylum door.

Disability/Fear:
- Sarah fractured her left shinbone in a bycicle accident 3 weeks prior to the outbreak. The bone is now held together by some screws and metal plates and is not fully healed.
- She also has arachnofobia(fear of spiders).

Weapon of Choice:
Sarah carries with her a CZ-75 Compact handgun chambered in .9mm. She has been using his gun for personal protection for 6 years now.

CZ-75 Compact

Equipment: Sarah stored all of her stuff in a backpack.
- a spare change of clothes;
- 2 extra 14-round magazines for her CZ-75 Compact;
- a bottle of water;
- 2 bags of dried peaches;
- 1 bag of pita bread;
- 2 packs of biscuits;

[Tearstone]

Nicely done. Pretty concise. I take it her CZ-75 (nice gun too! I want one eventually) is her personal defense weapon which she's had for six years.. not being in use for six years in a zombie environment... Figure the outbreak is about a month and a half since it started.

I'm pretty sure you mean the former.

[Sturmgewehr]

Yes of course the former. She had that gun for six years and she had been using it as her personal defense weapon.

Of course I plan on finding a knife for her too, or anything with a blade and even something more powerful like a shotgun or something. But that will happen later in the RP. That gun is just for starters.

[Tearstone]

Moved to Character Tab

[Tearstone]

The gear list above lists typical load for Chris. It looks like a lot, but most of it is all small items and for the most part light weight. Also, Chris has been living on the Tide Runner. It's a home for him, so he has access to boat resources, and probably has personal items like a TV, video game system and other things on the boat. These are the things that are worth mentioning above.

Like I said, amount is not an issue, just specifics. For all of that, I could find images and links for. If you guys want to add stuff to your sheets, let me know. I'll give a yay or nay, and as your character finds stuff, please feel free to update your sheets.

[Hakai]

I'm gonna be a smart ass here and state as a kinda mini gm I'm allowed to be. Pending Approval once he gets a picture up XD

[Sturmgewehr]

I noticed something wrong with Tearstone's handgun choice so I couldn't help but bring it forward.

The SIG Sauer P229 TB is chambered in .9mm not .45 ACP, and the picture you posted is that of a SIG P220 Reverse Two Tone.

This is the P229 TB...

SIG Sauer P229 Scorpion TB

I don't wanna seem like a smart-ass or anything, I just couldn't help myself.

[Tearstone]

Thanks Sturm. It's supposed to be a 220. I was very tired last night when I was putting stuff on the sheet. It was going on 6:00 am at the time. Will fix. :D Its good to have players keepin' me in check too.

[Tearstone]

Anyway, now that I've got at least one of my characters finished I can get us started. Will have to wait until after work. I have to be there in about 40 minutes or so.

[MouseKing]

Yey! We starting soon.

[Svenn]

Yee I'm excited!

and I like your character.

I like everyone's pretty much.

[Svenn]

Ergh, I was going to make a character sheet for boyd's wife, but I don't want to write about her all the time in the IC

[Tearstone]

Setting post is up. Most of the boat crew, I intend to start off on land, hopefully not too far from a/the marina. For the asylum group, you guys can start off actually there or close by. I would appreciate it if you would make a post indicating your location, relatively. If the asylum group wants to work out whether they're together or not first, or even partially together, that's cool. I will have a google Collab Doc listed on the first OOC page. Think of it like a big scratchpad, and if you guys want to use it to make collab posts, feel free.

[Svenn]

It said the collab sheet is not available
