If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

"Are we cursed? Perhaps. Perhaps those of us that are alive are cursed to forever regret our choices."
- The General On Surviving This Long
☠ Premise
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Walking Dead RP is loosely based on TWD TV series and Comic books. A post-apocalyptic horror survival RP that features long and short term survivors of the Outbreak. All trying to stay alive and even thrive under the constant threat of what are known in this RP as Walkers. Walkers are driven by one need and one need alone: to feed off live flesh. They shamble, run, sometimes climb towards anything that draws their attention: noise, smells, lights. At first people believed the only way to be infected was to be bitten or scratched by a Walker, it was later figured out that all humans carried the mutation that caused the changed and anyone who died would turn. Being bit of scratched simply caused a fever that brought on a death within three days. No cures. Best bet if bit just cut off the limb if possible. Even then, you might not survive. Only way to kill a Walker? Kill the brain stem.

We are now six years and then some into post-shitstorm and it isn't easier to survive. In fact in many ways each day that passes, things only get harder. With the fall of humanity and modern conveniences our Survivors face more problems than just the dead trying to turn them into an all you can eat buffet. Supplies can run low, bullets run out, heat and cold can kill, disease still runs rampant, and Humans themselves can be the true monsters out there. People will do whatever they can to survive. When you are facing down life and death, you can even become your own worst enemy. Some have survived this long because of strength, others because of their smarts, some just pure dumb luck. How will you survive? Let's find out.

☠ Character Sheet
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The character sheet does seem a little intimidating and confusing. It isn't near as bad as it seems. There are instructions provided in the CS and below but most of it is rather self explanatory; I just went ahead and wrote out instructions to try to clarify if it was needed or someone was half asleep filling in a CS. Make sure to read the rules above, and everything below before filling this out. If anything isn't clear or you have questions, do ask. (But read first, cause if the answer is there I will say "read again.")

Skills must be picked from the provided skills list, ability scores and skill base scores cannot be filled in without getting them from the GM. Once you get numbers from the GM for your abilities, that is the only set you will get. If you scrap the character you take your numbers to the next until you make a character you RP with them. (Refer to abilities and skills section for more details)

Please note, if you are entering the RP at this point your character has no knowledge of the current camps or locations in this Rp and is coming in blind with no character relations with current or past PC's. Do not write up a Cs saying you do because it will be AUTO Denied. If you have questions ask the GM before even starting.

* People with shelved characters prior to this update - they are no longer approved. You have to go back through the approval process from the beginning due to the massive overhaul to the Rp, CS, and Rules.

Alright, here is your glorious leader - Leann McCormick (Some will probably notice that in the Cs under belongings her sheet isn't filled - it doesn't have to be. Those that are part of Newnan only need to list what they carry on them when in town - they will be given supplies if they go out on runs)


@SgtEasy If siblings yes but if you wanted to run both, that is fine as well. (Like I do the McManus Clan in G.U.) If a couple you can wait to see who else joins up and then try to work out the relationship once more Cs's are approved.

@Nevix Alright, I'll remember you said that. ^_~
O.P. updated with two positions filled - Cs's for characters will be posted once the OOC goes up officially. (Will update the O.P. with relation sheet once more spoken interest pops up.) If you have any questions, feel free to Pm me.
@SgtEasy You know, it wasn't creepy until I saw that and it was combined with your honey booboo sig, then I was like - O.o lol We're cool!
Moved to new topic
Lady A or Lady Amalthea, not your honey.... (Seriously, it's getting creepy.)
Glad to see interest in this, been wanting to host one for a while but wanted to make sure I had everything together. Granted the midseason opening helped to flame that on. ^_~

Those that are interested, if you want, the CS code is already provided. You are free to go ahead and start filling that out and shoot it my way here or via PM once it is finished. (You are allowed up to three characters.)

I will Rping the Newnan Leader and Medical Lead to start (though my characters will be in the same randomization for character deaths as the rest, so who knows where I will be after a while, lol)

OOC Up - roleplayerguild.com/topics/91786-the-w.. I GM like Rick Grimes leads - I can be fair but I have a harsh dark side. You have been warned.



Premise

Life was fine, or perhaps it wasn't but life was what we could expect every day in and out. The worst things we had to deal with where Drugs, Cancer and some barista screwing up your latte order. That was until three years ago when the shit hit the proverbial fan and all hell broke loose. People got sick, people died, people came back and soon the entire world was slung right into Armageddon.

Whether it be skill or just down right luck you have managed to survive the last three years. Your days are spent avoiding the Walkers, or whatever you chose to call them. You fight to survive but in this time you have discovered more about yourself than anything that could have been found in your Facebook profile. Are you still the person you used to be? Have you snapped and gone into a dark place? Do you hunt these monsters or are you just on the defensive? Have you discovered that people are not only your greatest asset in this new world but what you truly need to fear the most?

We open in Newnan Georgia. (Why Georgia? Simply because I know the state better than others, so it makes it easier for me to GM.) There is a group of long term survivors that have set up a place of safety, well as safe as you can get in this day and age. They have walls, they have weapons, they have jobs. Everyone works, everyone contributes. Whether it be going on runs, helping tend to the numerous gardens, making sure the supplies are ready, that security is in tact, etc.

They do bring in new people because there is safety in numbers and they know this but they are also well aware of the fact that people are dangerous. Justice is swift here, the greater good always outweighs a single person. Banishment does not happen, execution does. Will you be part of the core group of Newnan? Are you one of the wandering groups that comes across the place? Or were you found by those out on a run and brought back? Can you live under these conditions? How long will the walls last? Safety is never eternal.

Welcome to the Walking Dead!




Overview

Setting: Newnan Ga
Time Frame: 2010 - 3 years since initial breakout
Rp Tags: Modern, Slice-Of-Life, High Casual, Romance, Advanced, Large Group
Type Of RP: Character driven more realistic Rp - May Rp up to 3 Characters - Character Positions will be assigned by GM after review of submitted CS
The Town Of Newnan: The historic downtown has been converted into a two stage mini town. The main area is blocked off heavily by a double set of twelve foot high walls with one gate at the south end. They have an infirmary, their living quarters, a central dining building for meals, weapons are housed here, vehicles, supplies and so forth. The outer area surrounds the town a bit further out with ten foot walls - it is the first line of defense and is use for crops, machine working, training, water purification and such. One gate at the south end. The entire town is looked after by a sniper tower in the center of town and various posts on each set of walls at all times.

Character Positions In Camp
- Core Group - This group has been together from nearly the start - all became part of the group within the first 6 months of outbreak. They are close knit, leave no man behind until you have to. They have done things to survive they do not want to talk about, they've killed but they get the job done. They are not cruel but they all have their own dark place that can come out. They are family now.
  • Leader - Leann McCormick (Former Lt. Col U.S. Air Force)
  • Second In Command
  • Lead Medical - Vivian Ormerod (Former Trauma Surgeon Grady Memorial Hospital)
  • Medical Secondary - Maxine Cross (Former Med Student)
  • Supply
  • Runs Lead
  • Weapons Training
  • Survival Training
  • Security
  • Other - to be added as it comes along or is presented by an Rper


Character Positions In Group One
- Wandering Group 1 - This group is best described as "we are here until we aren't." You have only been together a couple of weeks, running into each other in various places over the last month. There is no leader yet, there are constant fights, no one really gets along. You are basically of the mentality that more people means more meat shields between you and the walkers.


Character Positions In Group Two
- Wandering Group 2 - This group has been together for the last 200 miles of travel, time together 4 months - the group was larger but after a run in with a hoard, these are the only ones remaining - supplies are low, nearly gone


Character Positions In Group Three
- Wandering Group 3 - Couple or Sibling Pair - Been together since the beginning - been roaming the last 300 miles - They look after each other first, no matter what. Decent amount of supplies since it is easier to divide up between two than a dozen.
