I’m tentatively considering joining depending on if I can get a character fleshed out enough in my head to commit to it. Being that it’s 2 weeks into the apocalypse how would you feel about a character from out of town who drifts into the neighbourhood at the start of the RP? I’d prefer to play a single character over a family.
Single characters are allowed; the family dynamic is just to simulate the "neighborhood banding together to protect the neighborhood from zombies". As for the "drifter" question, I spoke with
@mickilennial about it. The main issue I see with such an archetype is that while it is a unique twist to the concept that I/we're planning, there would be a need for more information from you, but also in particular more GM oversight over said character so that it doesn't muddle anything on our ends. After all, the RP is mainly focused on the lives of those who live on Mulberry. As for Micki, I'll let them chime in when they can about what they think in case they have anything they'd like to mention in detail to you.
I am almost (!) done with my family, but I had another question (Imsosorry).
What do you mean by relevance in the character tab? Relevance to the story? If they're like, more of a side/main character?
That's definitely going to be all of my questions! I should hopefully have my CS finished by late tomorrow if all goes well.
Relevance to the
family. For example(s): Bob Smith // Father, Jane Doe // Youngest Daughter, etc. That is in place so that people have an idea as to who the character is supposed to be portraying.
I have questions regarding the zombies.
1. Are they slow movers like in The Walking Dead or sprinters like in World War Z?
2. How is the zombie-inducing virus transmitted to living creatures? bites?
3. If it is a bite that changes a person, how long does the change take place?
4. Can the zombies communicate at all?
5. Are they triggered by sound as in other zombie movies/shows?
6. How do you kill them? Is a headshot necessary? or can you just incapacitate them another way? Immobilize them and they remain animated as just a skull?
7. What percentage of the population are zombies? at least initially.
Thank you
1) At the moment, they're slow moving Walking Dead zombies.
2) Bite, like most media.
3) Between a day or two, closer to the former in most cases.
4) Communication between zombies isn't a thing. They may group up and start swarming/herding after someone, but don't expect to start hearing "Zombiese".
5) Yes.
6) Headshots/trauma are necessary, yes. Immobilization just slows them down.
7) That is to be determined, but it is a high number that is rapidly increasing. As for Huddeen, Mulberry Street may be likely the only people left alive in town.
