The Seven Cities

It also seems to vary somewhat judging by the other nations. A more industrious one would likely be able to get away with more firearms.

The Seven Cities

@Alfhedil Good to know.

The Seven Cities

@Alfhedil Good to hear! Assuming that's still the case when s/he is on I've already got a city state in mind.

Another question since I can't seem to find anything official- what's the tech level limit? The nation I plan to use is extremely tech heavy and I expect to have to downgrade it significantly, but knowing how far I'll need to go would be appreciated. I'm getting a 16th-17th century vibe, so I assume it's around there?

The Seven Cities

I'm quite interested, is this still open?

On The Brink of Instability (and we're off!)

Is this still alive and accepting? I might be interested.

Welcome to Paradise [Island Survival / Zombies?] High Causal

I suppose a knife would be okay, but not worth much. A shiv could easily be made on the island.

@Harbinger

The main differences of the knife would be its size and quality (much better than an average shiv made from scrap metal or somesuch), but that's what I figured. I'm not expecting it to be a huge game changer, though it ought to help against the shambling corpses we're sure to come up against.

Welcome to Paradise [Island Survival / Zombies?] High Causal

@Harbinger That would be interesting I must admit.

The reason I asked was I would imagine a military field officer (colonel in this case) would be permitted to carry some sort of weapon, but I wasn't sure what the opinion on that would be. Would perhaps a knife be an acceptable weapon to wake up with?

EDIT: Regardless, I'll get to work.

Welcome to Paradise [Island Survival / Zombies?] High Causal

I might be interested, what are the rules on gear and such? I might be able to reuse an old character of mine from another zombie RP but she tends to travel armed due to military status, is there a policy on this?

Monochromatic Rainbow's Strange Place of Strange People

WIP Character for an RP that's not even posted yet

Name: Captain Lydia Rosemarie Irene Genevalisse Sanchez

Sex: Female

Age: 287

Appearance: So... is that color natural? Or do you dye it? Describe what you look like, that scar on your lip, the way your eyes look like they could scratch diamonds, or how you have giant boobs, if you really want (that'll cost ya btw, trying to fit in the SCRAPS suit or your armor if you go to the surface).

Skills: What’cha good at? Maybe you can just about perform open heart surgery with household items? Or perhaps you can kill a target from a mile with a single shot from that big rifle of yours? Perhaps you’re so damn nimble and athletic that you don’t need a ladder, all you need is a bale of hay and a high place to take a leap of faith?

Traits: Perhaps you’re freakishly strong, but fine manipulation of objects comes a bit difficult for you? Maybe you’re cybernetically augmented, sure, but that comes at a price, those things require maintenance and you need to eat more, after all.

Mutations: Taint is a potent mutagen, and while it usually results in grisly death, it’s not uncommon that those exposed to low doses or born to survivors of low to medium doses have Taint-induced mutations. These aren’t pretty, and range basically anything physical you can think of. Bear in mind significant mutations can “go critical” and result in Akira-like transformation horror shows.

Backstory: Regale us with your backstory, tragic element optional. You should be able to point to your backstory and say “Larry does X because of Y in his past.”

Equipment: What kind of gear are you packing? You want some weapons unless you’re a pacifist, and mentioning that you have a suit of armor that can stop a full magazine from a submachine gun is kind of important too. You don’t need to painstakingly list the exact amount of nutrients contained in your food or write a biography of the cow that donated the leather for your aviator jacket, but please include some detail.

Other: Theme song, favorite food, why your armpits smell like strawberry jam, anything that doesn’t fit in with the main categories.

Gear

Weapons:

• Medicine Stick: A big, heavy, and powerful Winchester 1886, customized by herself and capable of handing the massively powerful magnum loads she prepares for the rifle. Favored for use with big angry things.
• Pride and Prejudice: A pair of ornate masterwork revolvers of the old world, cut for moon clips and kept solely for more special occasions. Rarely fired in anger, but certainly carried openly in a more formal setting.
• Grunge: An old S&W Model 29 with which she can never seem to remember whether or not she's fired six shots or only five in all the excitement.
• Tomahawk: A Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum, powerful and more rugged than the Smith & Wesson, this gun has seen its fair share of pistol whippings and rough use.
• Rogue: An M-14 modified to be a compact bullpup battle rifle, her standard go-to weapon in a basic gunfight or a battle against a pack of wolves.
• Petite Mort: Her "Little Death" - a small .357 magnum snub nosed revolver kept expressly for the purpose of concealment. Also cut for moon clips.
• Modified Springfield XDm: Used as a general purpose pistol when a .44 magnum revolver just won't fit the situation, usually because of magazine capacity, and a .44 for a regular person is almost always overkill. She can also conceal the weapon if she's careful and can convince guards not to pat her down too closely.
• Gerber Axe: An axe. For breaching things, including skulls.
• Bowie Knife: James Bowie would be proud.
• KA-BAR: Ooh Rah!
