The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

Ah, I apologize, I believe I've been a bit vague when it comes to the strengths and weaknesses.

As far as strengths go, we're on the same page: things like "stealth" and "hand-to-hand combat" are the character's strengths, or what they're good at, what will help them.

As for weaknesses, I'm looking for things which your character isn't good at, or personality traits which may harm his chances of survival, or an addiction, or an injury/disability.

Some examples of other characters' weaknesses:
- Desmond is an alcoholic
- Scout dropped out of high school, and isn't "book smart"
- Sarah is a reserved, closed-off person
- John has PTSD
and so on.

Those are the kinds of things I'm looking for with regards to weaknesses. In Andrey's case, maybe he has an old war wound which makes it difficult to lift heavy objects? Or, you could build off of the 'remembering the war' part and say he has Post Traumatic Stress?

In the end, for every strength you have listed, you need that many weaknesses minus one.

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

@Comrade Doge Nice CS! Everything's looking good, I'm just wondering if you could perhaps expand upon your character's strengths and weaknesses, and add another weakness or two? Since it looks like Andrey has 5 strengths and 2 weaknesses.

@Nallore Accepted!

@FortunesFadedwhen will the OOC and ic be up?

@FallenTrinity

I'm waiting for at least one more Character Sheet to pop up, so we'll have five to start. Then I'll post the OOC & IC

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

Oh damn, really? What a coincidence! I live up the coast in New Hampshire (that's why I picked the area as the destination)

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

@FortunesFaded

Will talk to you about that in pms. Has death already spread throughout the area?

@FallenTrinity

Yeah, the city (Wilmington) is beginning to be overrun. The army evacuated as many people as they could, before leaving for Philadelphia. So anyone left in Wilmington right now is either an isolated survivor (or a small group) planning on weathering the storm, those who missed the military or didn't want to follow them, or the undead.

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

@FallenTrinity Accepted! Just be thinking about how your character will end up with our merry band of misfits, since he has to be alone/part of the group at the start of the RP, instead of with the army itself. Since he's on leave, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. Given that it's the apocalypse, though, you may want to think up an explanation as to why he didn't answer a call to duty (maybe he never got the message?)

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

ill also make another character that is a normal person as well

@FallenTrinity

That's fine! As long as you're able to balance the two and keep both active in the storyline, I see no issue with that.

Yes ill admit I was going to make a solider but I want to talk to you about that in the pms should he be accepted as far as gun ill put it in the hider below

Hider

instead of a ACOG scope it would be a IR hybrid which would allow for long and close range capabilities. A silencer with a longer barrel and a flashlight with IR laser.

@FallenTrinity

If you're a soldier, that's fine! But yeah, PM me your thoughts.

Also, @McHaggis: 110% accepted, fantastic CS

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

@FortunesFaded

Ok now if I say that he has a few weapons on him but can explain story wise WHY he has these will that be ok?

@FallenTrinity

Yeah, that's fine. As long as it's within reason: for example, my character has a silenced pistol, and that's pretty much it. Any domestic firearm is acceptable. Military-grade weapons.. I'd be much less likely to accept, unless the character is a soldier (and even then I don't really want too many soldier-types in this. It should primarily be normal, every-day people).

What were you thinking with regards to weapons?
