@Hey Im Jordan

Following up with this announcement, we're temporarily closing character applications until we get started! @Redrum & @BeastofDestiny have submitted the last few. Don't worry, we'll open them up again as soon as we start rolling.

For all future interested parties, here's the OOC!

Our Evil Ways

Here's one:

Jim Sandoval

^{_{#a350f9 | Carolina Ravassa}}

---

Jimena "Jimmy" Sandoval
^{General Hospital Nurse}

---

Physical Characteristics

Her hair, a light brown color that once had blonde streaks, has been roughly cut into a short bob style; the edges are still noticeably frayed and uneven as if cut by shaky hand.
Even in the midst of a global tragedy, she still manages to somehow make mom jeans not look utterly dreadful.

Life Before the Apocalypse

"Sometimes I can't believe it's been six months, it feels like yesterday when I first saw my first...well..victim being wheeled into the ICU, the restraints barely working and the screams echoing through the ward. There wasn't even any time to grab supplies in the confusion of it all. That's where I was when it all started. I am...I was a nurse and it was supposed to be my day off but they needed extra hands for the overnight shift and I had nothing better to do. My...beau...was...is overseas. Military. So if my options were to stay in my apartment watching re-runs of Real Housewives while wondering when the hell I had a second pint of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey or earning some overtime, I'll take the overtime. Kinda wish I didn't. Working in a hospital you think you've seen it all...and now I'm not even sure if the worst is over."

Strengths & Weaknesses

➕ Knowledge of nursing techniques and medical conditions. While not a surgeon or something, she does at least know what will and won't kill someone and how many doses are needed for an injection.
➕ Meal preparation. While they aren't working with high quality ingredients, Jim can do what she can to make what food they have more appetizing.
➖ Despite being on her feet all the time because of her job, she's not exactly a marathon runner. Which is to say she's not the quickest when running even if she can at least run for distance.
➖ Isn't physically strong and anything more than a mostly full backpack is too much for her to be carrying.

Personal Goals

In the short term she'd like to find some antibiotics. While it's not certain that they would stop the spread of the zombie virus she knows that not every cut is inflicted by the undead. Amoxicillin or Vibramycin would be her first choices but even penicillin would have its uses. Naproxen for pain medication. Really, finding a decently unraided pharmacy or health clinic would be like a dream come true. Barring that, she really wants to have just one more spoon of Chunky Monkey before she dies.

In the long term she would like confirmation one way or another about her beau. She, reasonably, believes them to be dead and considering the ocean might as well be on the moon with all that's going on she's not holding her breath on a reunion. She's already moved on but still it would be nice to know.

Inventory

Jimmy's backpack is the group's first aid kit. It seemed sensible to give the medical supplies to the closest thing they had to a doctor.

And here's two:

Knife Thot

^{_{#345286 | Dichen Lachman}}

---

Daisy "Knife Thot/KT" Becker
^{Curator at the Science Museum of Minnesota}

---

Physical Characteristics

Apart from her jawline, which is frankly spectacular, Daisy is a strong believer in always wearing sleeves. The reason should be obvious but it's why her jacket looks Frankenstenien with how patchy the sleeves look, courtesies of guerrilla stitchery.
Due to recent happenings, Daisy doesn't ever seem to smile, but what she does she does to ensure others still can.

Life Before the Apocalypse

"The people I'm traveling with probably think I'm some kind of silent badass or something - or maybe they think I'm just a silly girl who's going to get herself killed swinging around a sword in the day of guns and ammunition. I'd probably agree with that view. I wouldn't call myself badass, but six months of knowing nothing but what it feels like to carve through flesh - not all of it undead - and you start to understand why serial killers seem so detached from the world. I haven't really disclosed much about who Daisy Becker was because these people don't know me as Daisy Becker, museum curator with a degree in anthropology and a fascination with martial weaponry of Asiatic cultures; they know me as 'KT', someone who has gotten good at cleaving the heads off undead. It used to take me four swings. I was weaker then. Some of these people still have hope. There's no reason they should lose it. There's no reason they should have to know what it's like to kill a man, dead or otherwise. They won't have to."

Strengths & Weaknesses

➕ Fitting for the 'Knife Thot', Daisy is really good at using bladed weaponry. Some might think it's impractical but she's still here and naysayers aren't. She doesn't appear to use any specific style, being self taught and quickly.
➕ A lack of empathy and a willingness to shoulder the hard decisions makes KT willing to do things for the better of the group even if the group disagrees - such as mercy killing someone who has clearly been bitten even if it means having to endure cries and protests from loved ones. They don't have to like her, they just have to survive.
➖ Despite being good with a blade, Daisy was a child of the modern era of GPS and cellphones so she doesn't know how to read maps or navigate or track. She's security, nothing more.
➖ Isn't one for banter and is largely silent unless called upon. This makes her feel distant from the group, like she doesn't belong.

Personal Goals

Daisy was planning a trip to Canada for work related interests and even now she'd still like to make the trip. Ottawa is a longshot, but that's where she was booking tickets for and part of her still wants to go. It's for purely selfish reasons and she doubts that it's any safer, but it's nice to have something to remind her of what things were like before zombies and insane humans.

In the short term, Daisy would like to have actual toilet paper again.

Inventory

Daisy is constantly armed thanks to a sheathe attached to her left side. Her weapon, a sword, is a matter of great coincidence. Ask her about it and she'll tell you the type, but it has an ornate hilt (less so these days) and a straight blade with an arc tip. It's slightly shorter than a longsword, but it's longer than a machete and either way it cuts flesh good. She acquired it on a work trip with intentions on displaying it, but a few days after landing back in the States all hell broke loose.

And here's Three:

Heather Patton

^{_{#CC4224 | Brie Larson}}

---

Heather Patton
^{First Year Intern; Senior Year at Winona State University}

---

Physical Characteristics

Despite everything that's going on around her, Heather still takes time to make sure her hair isn't a mess. Using a hairbrush that she brings everywhere and broken glass as a mirror, it's one semblance of normalcy that she clings to.
Heather flat out refuses to wear something if it was taken from a corpse. It's probably why she's still wearing her WSU branded shirts.

Life Before the Apocalypse

"I don't understand why everyone is freaking out just because it's like those stupid movies that the weird people from the campus tabletop society love to talk about in hypotheticals. This isn't a movie, duh. We have government and military and they're going to fix this. Haven't you seen the movie about the fog where the guy kills himself in the fog and then the government rolls in? That's this! But whatever. Look, I was this close to graduating and securing a nice paying job with a boss who I definitely would not report to HR if he asked me to drinks after work if you know what I mean, and yeah, sure, it sucks that he's dead now and it sucks that my best friend is too but...it'll all be fine soon. I'll graduate...I'll move out west and work for a tech company...I'll hook up with an actor and everything will be...fine."

Strengths & Weaknesses

➕ Tinkering and repair. Heather is a tech student which is to say that she is good with computers but since computers are basically a pipe dream, Heather uses her other abilities. She knows her way around wires and such for devices like radios or the like. It's niche but it's better than nothing.
➕ Her real talent lies in manipulation. Heather knows how to talk and get people to do what she wants and she's not ashamed of it. Heather is going to survive this even if it means talking her way through the apocalypse. This makes her somewhat of a good choice for negotiation or brokering deals, if it comes to that.
➖ Because of her ability to smooth talk and her blatant disregard for the concept of loyalty, Heather is hardly what people would call a trustworthy individual. She goes where she can survive, first and foremost.
➖ If it's heavy lifting or manual labor or really anything that will make her sweat, she won't do it. Not can't. Won't.

Personal Goals

It's probably cliche of her to say that she wants to survive above all - and she does still believe that the military or government or whoever is going to be around the next corner or horizon but she's starting to become aware that it's false hope at best. Something she regrets is not being able to bury her best friend since childhood - she wears a necklace with half a heart on it while her friend has the other half. She wasn't able to take the other half so when this is all over she would like to at least have a funeral or a ceremony of some sort.

If they came across a mall or something that had fresh clothes, that would also just be...fantastic.

Inventory

Heather has a hairbrush. She brought it with her. She once had a suitcase full of clothes but they made her get rid of it because it was literally slowing everything down. She also has a screwdriver she picked up on the way and that's attached to a belt loop.

@Fabricant451

I suppose I can accept these characters. I suppose.

Our Evil Ways

Freddie Jones

^{_{#3bb229 | Jack Reynor}}

Physical Characteristics

Even in the apocalypse, some people are just physically attractive. Freddie Jones is dirty, but he’s still mighty handsome.

Life Before the Apocalypse

“My name is Freddie Jones. My life before the end of the world doesn’t matter. I have been traveling for almost six months now. I’ve stolen cars off of the side of the road, I’ve ransacked those same cars for food and water, I’ve broken into houses, and stores, and looted those. You do what you have to, I guess — it’s a different now. I’m moving north, maybe it’s different further up; if not… maybe there’s some place we can fortify, and build a little society.

I sound like a video game character, or like a SyFy movie.”

Strengths & Weaknesses

➕ Freddie Jones is decisive, and if nothing else, committed and confident. He’ll make hard calls, and volunteer to follow through with his decision. He makes decisions and he sticks with them, because he believes he knows what’s best for himself and his daughter.

➕ Freddie Jones is dangerously brave. Surviving with his daughter for the past six months has made him that. He’s not afraid to venture into a house, or a store that he wanders by, if it means scavenging for supplies.

➖ While only really a weakness to himself — due to the danger it often puts him in, Freddie Jones is not only looking out for himself. Freddie Jones is looking out for the others in the group and will continue to do so if new people join. He is willing to put his life on the line to protect the others; someone has to be, and the majority of the group is, in Freddie Jones’s humble opinion somewhat snakey.

➖ Freddie Jones still has morals, despite the world going to shit around him. If it came down to it, he would be able to fight to the death, with a member of the group, or another band of humans — yes, absolutely. He’s done it before. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have regrets. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t remember it, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t dream of it. Freddie Jones hasn’t cracked, he’s still there; he still believes that people are inherently good. This isn’t a man made apocalypse, this isn’t nuclear war. It's something different, and Freddie Jones doesn't yet want to give up what made him human in light of it.

Personal Goals

Freddie Jones’s short term goal is to find a generator that is hopefully easy enough for the group to bring around. Fuel is plentiful enough, if they stick to the interstate, they can siphon it out of cars. It's just the matter of finding a portable one that's hard...

His longer term goal is to find the group somewhere to stay before the colder months hit. It’s mid-summer right now, but soon the weather won’t be so forgiving, and without proper shelter, they’re all as good as dead — and Freddie Jones won’t have that.

Other than that? His only goal is ensuring the survival of his group.

Inventory

• Atlas of the United States. This was Freddie Jones’s first looted item; he thought it would be helpful. It is, and it will continue to be. He’s good enough at telling where they are based on roads.
• A nine millimeter glock with one clip (twelve rounds).
• A backpack of personal belongings.

Alex Jones

^{_{#f771d1 | Mia Hays}}

---

---

Physical Characteristics

She’s small, and tiny. She looks more like her mother than her father. She’s a child, dude. She has a chain necklace with her mother’s engagement ring hanging on it.

Life Before the Apocalypse

“I remember we used to have a big house, with lots of windows, and it was warm and comfy. Now I just miss my mama, and the way she used to make my dad smile. He doesn’t smile so much anymore, but he still keeps me safe.”

Strengths & Weaknesses

➕ She’s creative and imaginative? She doesn’t have many strengths that are helpful in this particular situation. She’s fun to talk to, though, and the innocence of a child is something that is appreciated in this dark and gloomy world.
➕ She’s a good colorer! No, seriously, she can stay in the lines very well.
➖ She’s small and frail, not as fast as the adults. She can, and already has, slowed the group down on occasion.
➖ She’s naive. She’s a child, she can’t help it, but this is nonetheless dangerous in this world.

Personal Goals

Short term? She would like a new stuffed animal to sleep with, and a new blanket.

Longer term? A place to call home, preferably with books. She’s an avid reader — or was anyway. There’s only so many times you can read The Sorcerer’s Stone before you’re wondering what happens next. For now she’s ultimately satisfied.

Inventory

• A backpack with a worn copy of The Sorcerer’s Stone, a filled out coloring book (Marvel Superheroes), and her clothes. She has 2 outfits. Finally, the backpack is home to a pencil case full of coloring pencils.
• Her mother’s engagement ring.

Ruin has fallen upon this world.
^{_{You may run for a longtime}}
It didn’t take long either. It turns out the average lifetime of society as it existed before the change is about six months. People thought things would be back to normal before long, but that wasn’t the case. The disease spread across the world in a matter of weeks, and despite attempts from the world governments to get it under control… people were over ran simply by numbers. Two thousand zombies beats a hundred National Guardsman any day — and most places didn’t even have that many soldiers who stuck around. With the world going to shit around them, who could blame them? Anyone would rather be with their family than standing watch.
^{_{My god spoke, and he spoke so sweet, thought I heard the shuffle of the angel’s feet}}
Some people ran to the safe zones, as the government told them they’d be. The major cities. Your New Yorks, your Miamis, Anaheims, Londons, Barcelonas… you get the picture. Fact is? Those people were fools. The more people, the quicker it spread. People were changing. A simple bite, even a scratch… it seemed to work. No one is sure how it works, but the end result is the same. Shambling monsters who seemed single mindedly focused on one goal: eating people. Zombies, the dreamland of that awkward kid from middle school — he and his gamer buddies are probably doing just fine. And the walking dead are just the tip of the iceberg.
^{_{Working in the dark against your fellow man, what you do in the dark, as sure as god made the day and night, what you do in the dark will be brought to the light}}
The smart people turned out to be those who stayed home. Fortified their small towns, and hoped for the best. While everyone ran for the hills and the protective arms of the government, a few stayed behind. They had what they had at their houses, and in some places, even a mom and pop grocery store. Life carried on for those who were brave enough to stay. Until two months in. That was when they realized it wasn’t getting better, and, more importantly? That was when the power went out. It never came back on. It probably never will.
^{_{One of these days, you can mark my words, and you will knock up on that door, that’s all son, you’ll knock no more}}
Once that happened, it sort of spiraled out of control. People got desperate, and desperate people do crazy things. It wasn’t long before the little cities were looted and abandoned too. The leviathan of chaos fell upon the world, and it wasn’t long before people ran away. They formed roving bands, and hoped for the best — hoped to find some place they could hole up against the apocalypse forming against them.
^{_{Sooner or later, God’s gonna strike you down}}
It won’t last.



Hi! This is going to be a post-apocalyptic roleplay, taking place roughly six months after a worldwide pandemic begins to wipe out humanity. No one is sure what to attribute the disease to. Certain religious types feel that the simple fact of the matter is hell has filled up, and now it’s spilling out onto our world. Regardless of one's personal belief, it is clear that the majority of the world's population have died and turned into the walking dead. You're bitten or scratched by one of these zombies? You turn.

And as our survivors will find out soon, the undead hordes are only the tip of the iceberg, and that some of those infected turned into even stranger supernatural creatures.

We’ll be playing a group of characters who form a nomadic band to better survive the horrors of the world, scavenging and hunting in the remnants of Minnesota. Eventually, your characters will hopefully stumble upon a place to set up shop and begin to rebuild their lives, as best they can in the chaos that followed the outbreak.

This RP will be story driven and mostly serious. As such, we want the threat of character death to be a real and present danger you face throughout the story. You’ll be facing not only the monsters of the new world, but also environmental threats like weather conditions, as it gets closer to the colder months; food and water supplies; and, of course, the threat of your fellow humans.

In the beginning, the characters will have been traveling together for around two weeks –– strength in numbers and all that –– and will be approaching the first great roadblock to their continued existence: finding a base.

Additional Information on Character Death

The character sheet is intentionally short so that players can make multiple characters. Players with 3+ characters can designate one of theirs to have IMMUNITY. They won't die as a result of the GMs advancing the plot, whereas other characters are constantly at risk if they make an ill-thought decision or rush headfirst into the action.

Players who do choose to kill off a character (after they have completed at least one short-term goal and posted several times for them) get GOOD KARMA: one of their other characters may run into a spot of good luck and help either themselves or the group with new supplies and equipment. If loot isn't your thing, special help to advance their personal storylines or long-term goals is also available.

Rules and Stuff

OOC RULES

• First and Foremost: Be excellent to each other. Seriously, hang out in the discord, be a member of the lil community. Be cool to each other, that’s all we want.

• Don’t mistake IC drama for OOC drama. That is to say, characters will probably be just terrible, awful people in this RP. Don’t take it personally.

• That’s really it, we’re pretty relaxed people.
