Sits across radial bone on anterior, 45° angle, looks self inflicted, but is actually from fending off an attacker in middle school. Burn scar left knee, the size of a quarter. Stuck knee against hot muffler of lawn mower on accident around 2004. Burn scar torso lower right quadrant inferior to navel and one inch lateral, spilled hot-ass ramen on self last winter. Some of the liquid got lodged in waist band of shorts and caused burn.

Tear has been a musician since the sixth grade, and is self-taught on a few instruments not learned in school. Singing is another hobby band while somewhat skilled, they are terribly self-conscious about singing for others. Hiking, bushcraft and survival skills. Cooking is a joy and passion, and is considered to be an art form.
Fears: Tearstone has arachnaphobia to a moderate degree. Blame watching the movie by the same name when they were little. Fears physical trauma especially surgery. This gives them the heebie-jeebies.

Silent weapons, melee weapons, and suppressed weapons. Guns should probably be used little, for the simple fact that ammunition is a problem.
Possibly. Are we talking completed and lived in, or are we talking abandoned building project...
I would think that anywhere people cluster tightly would be a mistake. High-rise apartments have limited egress points, and as the horde/wave/creeping doom took over the ground floors and surged upward, filling the building like a flood or tsunami, it would just leave people trapped. I think that due to zombies not working elevators, the stairs might not provide the greatest point of egress from the building. As a result, while a good number would sort of drain and trickle out, i think there would be a lot of leftovers.
If the building has armed security, decent security protocol to stop an insurge of 'rioters', and they had time to make good on their action plan though... a high-rise could become an island in the sea of the dead. At least most high rise buildings and hotels in Florida are built pretty sturdy to handle rain, storm surge (if on the coast), flooding and hurricanes. This might include backup power, shelter-in-place supplies and so on. An upscale highrise could have a lot of amenities, including things like small but efficient gyms, pool, and so on.
It's an interesting idea for sure.

That's what Sturm was suggesting.
Hospital is not an option, for now. They were ground zero for the zombie plague. Rick Grimes was insanely lucky that he made it out. If you're thinking of medical supplies, go raid a free/emergency clinic, or even a veterinarian's office.... or find your friendly neighborhood pill dealer.
Hotel might be, especially if it's during the off season when the outbreak happened, but they might have been comandeered by FEMA and other emergency management services for field hospitals. Schools, stadiums, civic centers, even big parking lots are likely to be turned into field hospitals, first as they try to quarenteen, and then when that fails, simply deal with the sheer number of sick and/or infected.
I would think an office building, warehouse, large boat or ship, train yard, dealership, factory or plant, abandoned hotel, abandoned house/condo... other places where not a lot of people go, and/or has plenty of controllable space, and access to supply areas and travel routes would be best. Also, when the bottom fell out of certain markets, a number of construction projects were abandoned, which an enterprising group could take advantage of. And this is if this group were to stay within the city proper. If they were out in the bush and the glades, or just away from the city, they could make forays into it and probably loose any pursuit.

If we do our own startup, do we:
Focus on finding a safe-haven and fortifying it
Start off with a safe haven, focus on raiding and gathering gear
Become a mobile operation, scavenging for supplies, and avoiding the creeping doom
Mobile op, but not just scavenging, actively working to combat the undead
Some combination in between
Any is fine with me, and they all have their own merits, and of course, their own branches of options. What do you guys/girls think?

I would totally be down for that, Day.
Still interested in the Ded Fonez, either as a member, or bein' a shot-caller (or -the- shot caller)
I was thinking along the same lines. I'd be cool to play, or possibly GM.
ill have to do something with this after work tomorrow morning.
Four days without response from the boss would have most gangs wondering...
