[BCOLOR=#000000]In-Character Thread has been created. -------------------------------------------------------->[/BCOLOR]

Plot Summary (Will be based off of 28 Days Later mixed in with Dead Frontier): In 2017, while studying a new breed of virus, Scientists are disrupted by Animal Liberation Activists, looking to free Chimpanzees being used as test subjects. Nicknamed 'Rage' due to its symptoms of increasingly Volatile and Savage Behavior. The Virus is rumored to be a prototype Biological Weapon, but is actually a failed attempt to create a Cure for Terminal Illnesses, but the Scientists were now studying to find a way to cure the Chimps of the Virus. Despite Warnings from Lad Techs and Scientists, the Activists release the Chimpanzees and in the process, releasing the Virus into the Population of New York City. The Virus is capable of spreading through blood and saliva. Currently, the City is under Quarantine. All Exits have been blocked off by the US National Guard. No one is allowed in or out. So far, 75% of the Population has become infected by the virulent man-made virus, while 25% of the City's Remaining Population continues to fight to stay alive until the infected are wiped out or until Special Forces decides to step in. Once a day, the National Guard will drop off care packages to help the survivors stay alive until Special Forces can be deployed. In the meantime, the Survivors must fight...

My Character
Appearance:
Beautiful-Maternity-Dresses-For-Baby-Shower.jpg

Name:
Kassandra Crawford

Age:
24

Personality:
Kassandra isn't the most outgoing person in the world, but isn't exactly anti-social either. Ever since High School, she is known to be very shy, especially around guys. Although she was a bit more outgoing in College, Kassandra was still shy around guys, so she had the tendency to stay out of relationships. As a result of being shy, Kassandra is also a bit socially awkward, but it has improved after she graduated from College. Around her friends, she is practically the therapist and has an open door policy for her friends if they ever need someone to vent to or talk about their problems. But sometimes, even the therapist needs someone to vent to. Although headstrong, Kassandra is not without a soft side, as she is family oriented and has shown to be a nice and caring person, both as a friend and family member. However, she is weak emotionally, as it takes only one rude comment to make her cry, which she does not like, but is not ashamed to admit that even she can be quite the crybaby.

Brief Bio:
Kassandra was born into a Middle-Upper Class Family. However, when she was four, both of her parents died in a Car Crash and she would be raised by her Grandparents. In her youth, Kassandra didn't really care about Relationships or flirting or any of the sort. Instead, she just worried about her grades and her future. At the Age of Eighteen, she figured that once she is more financially stable, she would start a Family, something that her Grandparents supported. In her last year of college, she met the man of her dreams, and they got married a year after. Kassandra was finally living the dream, but that soon crashed. Her Husband perished in a House Fire one day while she was at work, and at the time, she was already five months pregnant. Kassandra would then move into an Apartment, which she set up for herself and her baby. During the first month of her stay, she suffered at least two or three break-ins, which resulted in her place being either vandalized or jewelry would be stolen. To combat this, she would purchase a firearm so she can protect herself and her unborn baby. When she was around seven months pregnant, Kassandra would end up in a Car Accident that would leave her in a Coma. Now, a month later, she wakes up to a deserted city that is infested with ravenous Zombies...

Hmmm, I didn't expect you to throw in three characters at once. However, if you can give me details on each and every one of them, I'll be willing to accept them all. Like with the Personalities, instead of putting in Traits, write a Paragraph on their Personality. Same with the Brief Bio.

I'm interested. I'm wondering, is there are minimum age for our characters? And do you have specific types of zombies? I see you have Dead Frontier mentioned here so how mutated are these zombies and how much of a danger do they pose?
I'm going to be allowing a limit of three Characters since I forgot to write down the rules last night, I'm gonna get around to that later today. The Type of Zombies I will be using are from 28 Days Later. Per the Dead Frontier mix, I might throw in some mutations for the Infected. I just don't know yet.

Okay, you're good to go. Even though you have three characters, I want to give some time for others to join up. So after another person signs up, I'll go ahead and create an In-Character Thread.

When I meant by age, I meant by how young they can be. Judging by Wicked witch's post, any age goes. I won't be making a super young character, it's just i've been in zombie rps where they don't accept characters under the age of 20. I'll work on a post soon

Also, @Wicked Witch I hate to be this kind of person, but how are your two oldest characters twins when one of them has an Asian faceclaim while the other one has a Caucasian face claim? it's just really confusing and doesn't make sense to me.

Name:
Dominic Carver

Age:
31

Personality:
Dominic is often stern and pointed, seldom sugar-coating his words, and very rarely lying. He has always been a firm believer in the truth being more important than people's feelings. After all, if they couldn't handle the truth, they shouldn't ask for it. At times, his behavior can be considered rude, and as such, occasionally doesn't get along with people.

A self-described realist, Dominic makes a legitimate effort to be straight with people, and won't give false hope. He has joked it was why he became a scientist and not a doctor. "Scientists deal in facts, not hopes. My bedside manner would be terrible."

Brief Bio:
Born into a family of doctors, Dom's life seemed planned and virtually unavoidable. In his youth, his parents taught him to always tell the truth, to lie to someone was a betrayal. Falsehoods were like a sickness that spread between people, creating chaps wherever it went.

This mentality caused him to be blunt, and when asked a question, he would answer honestly and to the best pf his ability. This alienated him at times, especially in school, but, he still managed to make friends. Through school, he always did very well, achieving high marks.

After completing school, he went on to University, straying away from his parents careers in the healthcare field, choosing instead to pursue a career in science. More specifically, virology and epidemiology.

Ever a subject of fascination to him, Dom desired to learn as much about these organisms that were so pure and driven in their goals. Divide and conquer. This fascination led him to work with many severe diseases and viruses that were known to have killed many. He was eventually called in to work on a secret project, a new formula to work towards curing severe illnesses.

To answer your question, I guess you can say Left 4 Dead Zombies, just slightly stronger. 28 Days Later is a fairly interesting movie by the way, so if you get the chance to watch it, watch it. As for the reference from Dead Frontier (Its a Zombie MMO), I may add some special infected just to make things more interesting, but it will probably wait until we're deeper into the Roleplay.
