Had a fun birthday. Had some alligator tail for dinner, overall was pretty good for a place I hadn't been to before. Will start getting back into the groove of things soon.

Hi. If you've wound up here, you're probably wondering who I am.
You can call me Kuro, although some of you might better recognize me by one of the several other names that I have used in the past throughout the 11-ish years that I have spent on this forum. I'm a middle-twenties retail manager that is still trying to relive the glory days of their roleplay career while balancing a full-time job with an unsatiable need for overtime.
I tend to be open to most ideas when it comes to roleplay itself, be it whatever genre, group size, system, etc. That being said, I often gravitate to anything that falls in the following categories: anime, fantasy, slice of life, superhero or survival horror. If you believe that you have an idea that I might be interested in, feel free to shoot me a link; I'll get back to you as soon as I possibly can. Sometimes I forget to check my messages, so don't feel bad about pestering me again if I missed it.
I also have a discord server laying around. If we're cool, then I might be willing to a toss an invite your way.
Personally, I'm iffy about the inclusion of teachers into the group. Kind of think it should be a thing that is limited to GMs. But if @TGM says they'll allow it, I think it might be best to limit the group to one teacher, given that the RP is supposed to be centered around students escaping a zombie-infested school.
"I thought that life couldn't be any shittier than it already was. I was wrong."
Appearance Details
As someone who isn't particularly interested in appearances, Jess isn't much of a standout.
Her attire often consists of anything baggy and/or with long sleeves, such as jackets and sweaters. Some of her peers have attempted to get a rise out of Jess by exclaiming that her family is poor or that she shops at the thrift store, but such words are meaningless to her. Practicality and comfort are more important to Jess than trying to impress others and buying into the next new fad that comes around.
Jess keeps her hair boyishly short, resulting from her dislike of long hair that gets in the way of everything. It once caused her to be mistaken as a boy by an elderly substitute teacher; an incident Jess has yet to live down.
Characterization
When compared to the jocks, cheerleaders and other popular kids of Stockbridge, Jessica Langbroek is rather bog standard. Both of her parents, an on-call firefighter and a late night bartender, were Alpena natives, and chose to stay local. Although she had no control over this decision, Jess felt trapped by it, being forced to grow up in the "shithole of a city" she had come to believe Alpena to be over the years.
With her parents' jobs often keeping them away from home, Jess grew into a socially awkward kid that ate plenty of cheap TV dinners and typically fell asleep to infomercials on the couch. In turn, Jess quickly found herself uninterested in making friends or trying her best in school. She did her own thing, and didn't particularly care what anyone else thought.
In a cruel twist of fate, this outlook on life likely saved Jess' life when the infection found its way into her high school. None of her classmates cared if she lived or died, making it even easier to worm her way out of the chaos without attention.
Character Notes
Family:
- Allison Langbroek: Mother; works late nights bartending for extra cash. Late 30s. Fate is unknown.
- Henry Langbroek: Father; works as a firefighter. Bit of a local celebrity. Mid 40s. Probably dead as a result of his job.
Classmates:
- Aaron West: "If ego was a person, you'd have Aaron."
- Ethan Hubbard: "Seems cool, at least compared to his siblings."
- Hera González-Jones: "Too focused on the future to not be an asshole."
- Quinn Ashburn: "Don't buy into the happy-go-lucky façade."
Inventory
- Wallet, containing identification, loose change, etc. - Backpack, filled with assorted school supplies - Apartment keys, labeled with the number 307 - Smartphone, hand-me-down and outdated
I'll probably add more to the character info/misc section as needed later on, but the rework of Jess' sheet is finished. [@TGM]
