Introduction.png


FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST INFECTION...

February 16, 2010

The United States as we know has fallen into a complete state of emergency. Most of the eastern coastline as we know it, with iconic cities such as New York, Richmond, Orlando, Charleston, and Atlanta, have completely succumbed to the mysterious Green Flu. Millions of these "Infected" roam the streets, crannies, and nooks of what was once the United States' most populated regions, few survivors lurking now in those desolate wastelands of death and pestilence. Despite the alarming efforts by the military and CEDA, the eastern shoreline is beginning to slowly migrate westward, where the remnants of the military and government have organized and fortified themselves around key cities. Slowly, but surely, the military is beginning to fracture, with some branches declaring independence and acting as sovereign bodies. With rumors of the frontlines of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas being overrun, panic has filled those that sought refuge in areas such as New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah.

You all hail from a variety of backgrounds. Maybe you was a teacher, a photographer, a writer, a soldier- it matters naught. Some of you even fought your ways out of the eastern coastline, watching friends and family ripped to shreds before your very eyes. Whatever the case may be, you sought refuge in Salt Lake City, one of the most prosperous cities for east-coast survivors.

In response to the floating rumors of a mutant horde on the horizon, the military operatives in the area have promptly panicked and fled for California along with multiple valuable supplies. A de facto militia has arose from the desertion of the military, and with dwindling supplies partially thanks to the panicked military, you find yourselves among one of the unlucky souls to be exiled from the city due to your immunity.

It has been only two days since you and the other exiles have hit the road. In the distant, the cries of the undead are on the horizon.

Time to make The Last Escape


Premise.png


A seemingly typical post Left 4 Dead 2 RP with a unique twist. Along with the original setting and environment, this RP will require you to RP characters from other Fandoms only. That is right, a multiverse RP, no OC's at all. However, you must fit them in the context of the Left 4 Dead Universe and make the characters human (it is heavily preferred the existing character is human to begin with). An example of this would be something like taking Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat and making him a martial arts instructor. This is experimentally done to test an RPer's ability to modify a character into another universe entirely. See rules for more information.

I must stress, however, that these characters know nothing about their former canon universe. They only know of the Left 4 Dead universe, aka, the universe they inhabit. Don't break the fourth wall on me...even you, Deadpool. For now, we will have 10 PCs as well as me, totaling in at 11 players

Name:
Frank West

Age:
36

Gender:
Male

Former Canon:
Dead Rising

Blood Type:
O

Personal Belongings:
His camera.

Equipment and Weapons:
He's got a baseball bat with him that he picked up to defend himself when this outbreak first started out. He kind of knows his way around a gun if he were to pick one up.

He's covered wars ya know.

Personality:
Frank is a very persistent fellow, always eager to get to the truth of the matter. Such as the truth behind this infection and what it's done to all of these people. Neither rain nor sleet nor the toughest infected will keep Frank from taking snapshots. He'll also work well together with others if need be though he's often written off by some as just being a 'pesky journalist.'


New Backstory:
Frank West was a war journalist, serving in conflicts like the Gulf War from 1991. From then on he's always tried to embroil himself into spots of notice whenever they popped up. Because gotta stay in the limelight, yo.

Mass infections of people turning into monsters seemed like the scoop of a lifetime. The only problem was staying long alive to get to the source of it all.

Oroku Saki

AKA: THE SHREDDER!

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Former Canon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Blood Type: 0 positive

Personal Belongings: Clan Ceremonial Armor(Kept on display in his personal home), Compact Mirror, Whetstone, 100 ft of coiled rope, Fruit Bars x 4, hip flask, First Aid Kit

Equipment and Weapons: Box of matches, candles, waterproof cloak, gauntlet wristblades, Tailored Suit

Personality: A proud, warrior type. He despises weakness but carries a soft spot for certain people. He relishes opportunities to fight and carries a massive ego which has been his downfall at times.


New Backstory: Raised with his foster brother, Hamato Yoshi in Japan, both shared a friendship solidified by their shared skill in ninjutsu under their masters eye. But where Oroku Saki fell into crime, eventually pledging himself to the Yakuza, Hamato Yoshi would join the police force which put an immense strain on their relationship.

It grew worse when Hamato married the woman Oroku loved as well, turning him bitter and driving a deeper wedge.

One night, there was a police raid on a warehouse Oroku was responsible for guarding. He killed the lights, instructed his men to flee and went to clear the way. Fifteen officers died that night to his claws, cementing his nickname in the underworld. The moniker of the Shredder.

Among the victims was Hamato Yoshi.

Horrified and elated, Oroku would be torn between mourning the brother he had slain and the freedom to be with the women they both loved. But she knew, by the marks on his body and drove him away.

Now with nothing in his way, he moved quickly through the ranks, enough to be assigned to foster a New York City branch of the family he served. But he never forgot her... Or her daughter, when the news first came to him.

When the outbreak occurred, his first instructions were to solidify their holdings and cooperate with authorities, as per the Yakuza method.

He would go himself, to save his niece.

Other: In New York City, he controls the Yakuza branch the papers have dubbed the Foot Clan, utilizing his training and methodologies to make them strong. Centered in Chinatown, their campaign to rule the New York City underworld was just beginning when the outbreak occurred.​

Name
David Karofsky

Age
18

Gender
Male

Former Canon
Glee

Blood Type
A +

Personal Belongings
- Letterman Jacket "77"
- His dad's watch

Equipment and Weapons
- Hockey Stick

Personality
Fear has made Dave the person he is today.

Fear of being different. Fear of being judged. Fear of letting his parents down.

Dave wears his letterman jacket like a security blanket, almost wearing it at all opportunities. It's not just that he likes the jacket, it's that it represents the shell Dave has built around himself and the people in his life. Dave is a boy frightened to death of who he really is and how he doesn't quite match with what he feels society expects of him. In a desperate attempt to squash the parts of him that just don't fit, Dave comes off as a horrible bully. To anyone deemed acceptable targets by the masses, Dave will seek to make their lives as unpleasant as possible. Putting people down, shoving students into lockers, throwing slushies in their face... there's little to distinguish Dave from a stereotypical jock bully on the surface. Perhaps most pathetic is Dave's targeting of boys who come off as flamboyant or girly; he particularly likes to use homophobic slurs to insult other students.

In truth, Dave's a smart guy who actually does have a heart, but has found himself paralysed by his own insecurities. He plays down his intelligence to fit in. He hurts other people to fit in. He tries to be someone he truly isn't to fit in. As open-minded as his father is, Dave's mother adamantly raised him Catholic. Dave's not taken to religion much, but he's heard enough from his mother alone about what's thought of people who are gay. It just couldn't be him, he thinks to himself. That's not the kind of person he is. It's entirely wrong, of course. A part of him knows this, but that just makes Dave even angrier.

As a result of bottling so much inside of him, Dave has become increasingly hostile and standoffish with others. He's become a sad and bitter person, one that's just a shadow of his more innocent youth.

New Backstory
Growing up in the small town of Clearfield, Utah may as well have been akin to growing up in a cage that only got smaller and smaller as one grew up. Either you broke out of that cage when you were just about big enough to do so, or you ended up being suffocated by those moving walls. Few adolescents wanted to get trapped -- to be considered a loser -- but too many ended up falling short anyway. For David Karofsky, breaking out of that cage was just as important to him as any other kid his age, but he knew he couldn't make a big show of it. He was determined to toe the line of what was expected of him, even if it meant denying himself entirely.

Dave was a bright student in grade school, encouraged by his parents to focus on academic success. As he was a bit bigger than the other kids and didn't quite fit into place with the rest of them, Dave found himself on the receiving end of some mild bullying. As a soft-hearted youth, Dave grew sullen at school and wary of people he didn't know well. Though he still maintained his high grades, Dave began to gravitate toward sports, eventually deciding he wanted a career in sports-- whether as a professional athlete or perhaps a sports agent of some kind.

When Dave began attending Harrison High School, he stuck largely with the friends he'd made through sports teams. Though he was initially only interested in hockey, Dave eventually found a place on the football team as well. Now that he was in high school, Dave began feeling more and more insecure about the kind of guy he was. He was a big guy, strong and manly... it was obvious what society expected of him. He had the terrifying inkling that he didn't like girls in the way he was supposed to, and this only cemented Dave's decision to conform. He, along with his best friend, Azimio, became one of the major bullies of the school. People started just referring to Dave as his last name, Karofsky, and it wasn't long before Dave began dumbing himself down in order to fit the role he'd made for himself.

When the Harrison High Glee Club was revived, Dave and the other bullies of Harrison made it their mission to harass the club members. Dave, insecure about his own sexuality, began to focus his bullying on one Glee member in particular-- Kurt Hummel, who happened to be out and proud for all the school to see. The bullying eventually became extremely personal, causing Kurt to lash out and confront Dave in an empty locker room. In a fit of rage, Dave threatened to beat Kurt up, but in a rare moment of dropping his guard, Dave ended up forcing a kiss on Kurt instead. When Kurt reacted with horror, Dave stormed out, later denying to Kurt that he could be gay.

The harassment only got worse from then on, Dave eventually telling Kurt that if he ever told anyone about the kiss, he’d kill him. For his actions, Dave is pulled into the principal’s office. His father was called in for the meeting, who was not entirely shocked to learn that Dave was having issues at school, for he'd been lashing out more at home than usual. When Dave's father learned that he threatened to kill Kurt, he was horrified, even approving of the decision to expel Dave from school.

In the weeks following the first infection, it was probably being expelled from school that saved Dave's life. The infection spread like wildfire, hitting places like Clearfield at extremely rapid rates. Concentrated public areas fell quickly, Dave's local high school included. His home was eventually broken into by the rampaging infected, and Dave lost both his parents in the attack. Having survived by the skin of his teeth, Dave had no time to mourn. His family had been planning to head South where it was said a safe zone was being set up. Now, Dave would be taking the trip alone. With no gun within his family's possession, Dave couldn't think of much else to keep as a weapon but his hockey stick.

It was another token of his image, and that made Dave feel safe somehow.

In a sense, Dave had been freed. Freed of responsibility and free of so many judging peers. Free of his old life that threatened to cage him at every opportunity. He could go wherever he want and be whoever he wanted to be. He should have found some kind of solace in that, but Dave had been living a lie for what felt like forever now and he knew he couldn't just turn it off no matter how much things changed. He was still that scared and confused little boy-- Except, now he had a lot more to be scared about, didn't he?​

Equipment and Weapons

latest

Nah, just kidding. He'll just carry around a Desert Eagle or so. Wei by himself is a registered deadly weapon anyway.

Personality

Being raised in both Hong Kong and America has given Shen an immense familiarity and understanding of both cultures, hence is able to interact with and infiltrate gangs with excellent natural ability. Because Shen moved to the United States as an adolescent and has never had a strong father figure or male role-model, his sense of identity and self is more capable to adapt and influence giving him with certain "chameleon-like" tendencies that serve him well when infiltrating a criminal organization.

However due to prolonged stress of undercover work and Shen's own personal tendencies, his superiors suspected that his allegiance to the police force was easily capable of changing. As a result, Shen was often a subject of intense psychological reviewing and internal affairs investigations. Furthermore it was believed that Shen was motivated into becoming an officer by vengeance against the triads for the death of his sister, hence he was also viewed as a risk factor and unsuitable for undercover work.

Shen is a highly intelligent, self-aware, and generally a balanced individual. While undercover Shen posses a strong emotional fortitude against prolonged and extreme periods of stress and exhaustion, however he does have a disposition for using excessive violence and can be greatly motivated by personal vendettas. Shen has a clear understanding of the risks involved in long-term undercover work and is driven by a strong moral system, and sense of loyalty, not only to the police force and duty, but to his friends, some of which are triads, and family.

Backstory

Born to a single mother and a sister who died young due to drug abuse, raised in Hong Kong and San Francisco during his childhood, Wei was born with a strong sense of justice. He majored in politics in university, but would end up taking up a career in law enforcement instead, becoming a prominent member of the local police force.

His violent tendencies can be so scary that no one really calls him out on police brutality stuff.

Personal Belongings
Necklace given to him by his brother Sam

Leather Jacket


Equipment and Weapons
Equipment:
Lockpick kit
Flashlight
The Impala "Baby"


Weapon:
Colt 1911 A1 .45 w/ Ivory grips

Personality:
Natural-born womanizer, suave, confident, etc. Bad comebacks generally, but good name-calling and puns. He's done a lot of fighting, from his youth to today, and had to fight his way from the grips of Lawrence, Kansas, where the outbreak was beginning to spread. He knows how to knock you on your ass and can take a beating. He's not a kung fu expert or anything, more a brawler with experience.


Former Backstory:
Dean Winchester and his brother, Sam, hunted all things supernatural. If it wasn't human, they killed it or did their damnedest to. If it put human lives at risk, they were there, trying to contain it.


New Backstory:
Dean had been traveling the countryside in his father's old Impala, returning to the apartment he called his own in Lawrence, Kansas, when over the radio he heard frantic yammerings of a major, dangerous flu outbreak. He saw news later that this virus was incredibly virulent and dangerous. The news told him that the Green Flu was decimating the east and quickly spreading to the west. Concern for his brother arose in his mind.


However, in the eighteen hours it took him to cross a majority of the country, he began to notice that the "Green Flu," as it was called, was running rampant in the cities he passed. It almost seemed to overtake him over that eighteen hours, and by the time he reached the rough halfway point of his journey in Denver, he'd had to skirt the city and lose time because it was impassable inside its borders.

He found himself trailing military convoys and eventually passing them in his urgency. His hurry took its toll on the Impala, however, and just outside Salt Lake, it broke down. His shock was short-lived as he had to run for his life from the victims of the blight, deeper into the city.

There he found the military was losing the fight as they had in the eastern cities, and a gaggle of militias had taken power in the city and were trying valiantly to defend it. While they controlled the city, they rationed a hard bargain due to their dwindling supplies and eventually exiled him to the western outskirts of Salt Lake. One less mouth to feed.

A picture of a certain woman in a silver locket
A calculator


-Equipment and Weapons-
Colt Single Action Army


-Personality-
Thor, or "The Swede" as he is sneeringly known by some of his peers, is an enigmatic, manipulative, coy individual. By just the very tone of his slow, gentle, soft voice the man is highly intelligence and highly dangerous, holding not a charm of looks but a charm of wisdom. He will often come off extremely sly and sometimes confident in his wisdom, almost having a certainly dangerous aura of hubris. Still, in these troubled times, the esteemed scholar finds little time for betrayal, knowing that intelligence can go but so far in this troubled world.


-Former Backstory-
In the Hell on Wheels universe, the Swede was born actually in Norway, spending most of his childhood as a middle-class citizen. Making his way to America for both adventure and a chance to see the world, the man quickly blostered himself a fine job at a library and a relatively pretty wife to boot. Of course, the man grew bored of his simple life, so much so that the draft to be indicted into the American Civil War by the Union actually spurned him forwards.


With his wife divorcing on the basis of him not being home, Thor was taken prisoner by Confederate troops and taken to the dreadfully awful Andersonville camp. There, he killed his first man, a desperate Union troop trying to gnaw on his leg. After the Civil War, he became head of security of a prominent railroad project to connect the East and West coast together.

-New Backstory-
Thor, being born in Norway to two upper-class parents, had a very neglected childhood. With no parental guidance or restrictions, the boy growing up was rather disturbed, his speech stuttering and his interests morbid. Other kids on the playgrounds conversed about their favorite rangers or line of toys, meanwhile, young Thor was analyzing human anatomy at seven. Whilst being a certainly bright mind, the Swede had difficulty obtaining any sort of social attention from not only his peers but his family.


Eventually, due to difficulties with the "economics" as the Swede assumed, their family set out for the United States just before the man reached high school. Living in the eerily mountainous and desolate beacon of Salt Lake City, Thor once again flied through school was passing colors, although no social life to boot. Earning himself up into some well pristine and private colleges, the intellectual decided to become a medical engineer underneath the private Vale of Utah University. During his days in college, he meant a nursing student of the name of Rachel. In blight of their differences and disagreements, Thor finally felt as if he had not only found a true friend, but a scholarly lady of both his interests and genuine care.

Halfway through his years in college, Thor found out that Rachel had died of a car accident on Saint Patrick's Day.

It was not an exaggeration to state that when Rachel died, the Swede lost himself. By allowing himself to love, to actually explore the confines of his heart, he had only poisoned it further. As the years went on, he started to wear more blacker colors, his work became sloppy, and he only managed to barely graduate. Literature and books became his vent, sourcing his rage and guilt into the confines of fictional stories in an attempt to ease his troubled mind and heart. Working at a local hospital, the Swede kept low and quiet, living by himself, silently lamenting in an almost eternal vigil for Rachel.

By the time the news of the Green Flu hit, the coy intellectual was on the verge of suicide. Almost feeling as if he should pull the trigger or hang the noose himself, the man toughen himself, realizing that there would be no more second chances if he ended it here. The Green Flu may destroy the entire east coast, yes, but Thor wasn't willing to let go of the world not yet...

Being exiled and felt betrayed by his home town, the foreigner wandered west, as did everyone else.

Name Tina Armstrong

Age 24

Gender Female

Former Canon Dead or Alive

Blood Type O

Personal Belongings
Necklace, leather jacket
Equipment and Weapons
Lead pipe


Personality
Tina is conveyed as a stereotypical believer of the "American Dream" - she is a girl with big dreams and will do anything to achieve them, no matter who or what tries to stop her. Following her motto "success breeds success," Tina aims high in everything she does, especially in her career goals, and is frequently entering a new profession to the point of being unrealistic. She is a stubborn and tough dreamer and hates it when people (especially her strict and overprotective father) tell her what she can and can't do, showing her independent outlook. However, she seems to recognize that she is stubborn and bullish, saying that she inherited this personality trait from Bass.
On the other hand, Tina does have a kind side to her, shown in Dead or Alive 5 when she tells Mila that pretty girls shouldn't fight or helps by sparring not long after they met.
Tina also has great confidence in her sex appeal, which she exhibits through her extroverted personality; some of her winning poses and sayings seem to be more sexually suggestive than those of the other female characters. She's using her role as a fighter and her wrestling career more as a foothold to reach more glamorous professions rather than a way of life. She is highly confident in her abilities - including her skills in wrestling, modeling, acting and music.


Former Backstory
The daughter of the famous pro-wrestler Bass Armstrong and his wife Alicia. Tina was raised in a world of wrestling and was trained by her father. When Tina was six her mother died of an unknown illness, so Bass cared for the girl by himself, wanting her to follow in his footsteps. From a young age Tina was put through a rigorous training regime and by the time she was in high school, she was an expert wrestler in her own right. However, she started to have dreams and ambitions beyond the wrestling scene: she wanted to be discovered by Hollywood and become a famous starlet



New Backstory
Growing up as the daughter of Bass Armstrong, the world's greatest wrestler, Tina had a lot of dreams. Like her father, Tina wanted to become a wrestler. When she was an adult, she aimed for those dream, much to her father's dismay and refusal. Years after getting into the business, Tina had a new goal after she proved she was the "greatest female wrestler alive, modeling. However, that was put on hold as the Green flu out break started. Tina was lucky to be in Salt lake city for a show she was doing. However, thoughts of her father's well being started bugging her. She need to find him. Maybe he was up north....

Former Backstory:
It Ruby.

New Backstory:

As far as Ruby ever knew, she was born into the perfect family. A fun dad, a mom who was basically super mom, and a sister who loved and protected her. Unfortunately, before Ruby got a chance to really grow up, her mom was taken away from them. Their dad took it hard and drew into himself and his work, and so it fell on Yang to take up raising her little sis. Thankfully, Ruby didn't make it too hard. While she was a happy and intelligent child, she wasn't exactly the social butterfly that Yang was, and spent most of her time lost in books or a computer screen in her own little worlds when Yang or one of her few friends weren't dragging her out into the sunlight. Thankfully, a complete lack of social life translated to her excelling in the academic life. School was just kinda... easy for her. Just memorizing some words or some math and bam, you were done. That showed when she got a scholarship full ride to Stanford, and both her dad and Yang couldn't have been more proud.

Unfortunately, that scholarship was for the Fall of 2010 semester.

Yeeeeaaa.....

Blood Type
AB Positive

Personal Belongings
- Leather fingerless gloves
- Orange infinity scarf
- A little black bow she keeps tied around one wrist

Equipment and Weapons
- Her motorcycle
- As much fuel as she could sneak out of the city
- Brass knuckles

Personality
A socially well-adjusted young woman with boundless optimism and a fondness for bad jokes. She adopts a fairly straightforward outlook on life, with clear point A-to-point B goals and methods of getting what she wants that give her a natural air of confidence and exude the impression that she knows exactly what she's doing at all times. Charismatic, brave and fiercely protective, her biggest flaw lies in her temper - though generally easygoing, goading and otherwise heated situations can be quick to get a rise out of an emotional state that could best be described as tempestuous. Yang has a tendency to let her anger get the better of her in a major way, and while this has its advantages (such as increasing her determination levels tenfold and drowning out other negative emotions like fear), it also renders her prone to questionable decisions, along with making her more easily manipulated by those who know how to exploit tempers.

She's also something of an adrenaline junkie, and as such doesn't hesitate in the face of taking risks. Whether they're reckless mistakes or ingenious gambits kinda depends on whether they work out or not.

Backstory
Born out of wedlock to a mother she never knew, Yang was raised in the Salt Lake metropolitan area by her single father until he married a childhood sweetheart who filled the role of maternal figure for most of her early years. It wasn't long before the two conceived a second child, Ruby, and Yang's euphoria at the addition to their family was outweighed only by the newfound sense of duty she felt to keep her sister safe and happy no matter what. A significant dampener to this life goal came with the tragic passing of her surrogate (and Ruby's biological) mother in a work-related accident a few years later, but Yang did her best to fill the void left behind regardless, just as the same had been done for her.

Though fiercely independent in her own right, winning a number of trophies for her involvement in combat sports and mixing in nightlife social circles that ranged from raucous to downright unsavory, she always made sure to keep an eye out and make time for the more timid Ruby when her younger sibling needed it. It was after Yang's graduation from high school that the elder sister learned Ruby had been awarded an undergrad scholarship for Stanford University in California, and while saddened by the prospect of splitting up with her little sis she was nevertheless immensely proud of her achievements. Following her own graduation, Yang ended up moving into the more central Salt Lake City area to embark on the thrilling adventure that was adult life, rooming up with a quiet dark-haired friend she'd met during her last year of school. The next year or so passed in a pleasant, if hectic, peace.

When the Green Flu outbreaks began, however, Yang was subject to the same whirlwind of tragedy and violence as just about everyone else, barely surviving the initial chaos that enveloped the city before the military garrison managed to seize control. Packed into the same situation as the rest of the survivor population like sardines in a can, Yang's thoughts were understandably focused on her sister's wellbeing, and she found herself growing increasingly disillusioned with the military's ability to handle the outbreak in a way that didn't just scream "collateral damage" on a widespread scale. When their abandonment of the city led to the local militia coming to power and forcing out certain members of the populace (and let it be said that she left whoever was responsible for "escorting" her and her sister out of the safe zone with a black eye to remember them by), she took the opportunity to strike out with her younger sibling and move westward for the coast in the hopes of escaping the migrating eastern horde.
