Actuallyyyy, we never decided on a specific location. We've kept it very ambiguous. Haha.
I know that XxChaosLinkxX's character is based in Chicago, but he was the first to actually namedrop a city. Personally, it doesn't matter much to me, because it's logical to assume that everyone did a good bit of traveling in the year since the outbreak. They could be anywhere, really.
 
May I join?? I need rps bad. Everyone seems to disappear after I post. So may I? Don't feel like leaving this site. :(
 
Not the host, but I'm gonna say go ahead
 
mmkay. im may implement a time skip, but im not sure yet
 
@The Dark Guardian, you're a roleplay murderer, too?! I thought I was the only one! XD
Certainly, feel free. You can post a character sheet if you'd like, or just hop right in, either's fine!
 
But character sheets are more fun :P
 
Sweet, I'll make a CS soon. What is the link to the thread?
 
I would like to join, but I will have to after work ^.^

Do I have to create a Bio? OR can I just jump in? I'd like my char to be mysterious :P
 
^ Either way is fine, as long as you stay within the realm of plausibility in terms of the pre-existing plot. I know there's a good amount of stuff-and-fluff to get through, but a general scanning over the previous IC and OOC posts should be enough to gather the basic information.

Also... SQUEEEEE, MYSTERY! I love mysterious unknowns. :3
 
I'll post a bio, but won't stick the personality in it...XD I'll have to put a biography though, because she's uber strong with few weaknesses (Based off a char in a book)

(Ignore the name on the bottom, I got this from the cover of the book.)

NOTE: I'm basing this on a character in a book I've read, and I think it would fit in here, I'll tweak some of her traits to make it my own, but that's why she has the strengths and weaknesses that she does. Let me know where I need to edit.

Biography:

Kara is the youngest person to ever be ranked as a Diamond Majat (Her guild). Diamonds are the best warriors/assassins that the guild has to offer. There are several gem ranks: Lowest to highest: Sapphire, Ruby, Jade, Emerald and finally Diamond. The Majat hire out each of these ranks to whoever pays for them. They can be used as assassins, guards, escort, anything, really. They are trained not to use their emotions, they are trained to be unbiased. They will fight for whoever hires them, and do whatever is asked, for the right price to the guild master. There are only about 20 Diamonds in the guild at the moment, 19 since Kara got kicked out.

Each gem rank has a shadow. A shadow is someone who learns another gem's weaknesses, and how to kill them if they were to ever be kicked out. The Guild doesn't just kick people out, it kills the members who get kicked out. They do this because they don't want the Majat secrets getting out, and they don't want a rogue gem on the loose. Oh, and no one knows who his/her shadow is, or who's shadow he/she is. In the past 200 years, no one has met their shadow, save once.

Diamonds can only be killed by their shadows plus a jade. This is how formidable a Diamond Majat is, they have to be pit against their shadow AND a Jade. And that's not even guaranteed to work, but it has in the past.

Kara is unique. She is the first 'Diamond' free to do whatever she wishes. She was the one Majat to meet her shadow in the past 200 years. Her shadow gave her what was known as a "Viper's Kiss" a wound to the throat that, when reached in time, can be healed. But the victim is dead when it happens, they can just be revived.

Before all that happened, she was on an assignment to protect a certain prince in a distant kingdom, she became good friends with the prince, named Kyth. When her contract came to an end, Kyth and some of his guards escorted Kara back to the guild. Along the way, they ran into some members of some ancient cult. Nimos wanted Kara to hand the prince, her love, over to him. She refused, time and time again when they kept meeting.

When they had finally reached her guild, Kara went to see her guildmaster. Oden congratulated her on her first assignment well done, and said she had a new one waiting. She had been requested by name, the cost of which is three times the price of a normal diamond. Her new master? Nimos. He had paid her to help him escort Prince Kyth and his friend to his master, Tolos.

Kara disobeyed. She snuck in Kyth's room, and snuck them out in the middle of the night. The next day, when the guildmaster found out, he issued the black diamond. The Black Diamond means a member of the Majat is going to be dead. It calls for a shadow. Kara's shadow happened to be a good friend of hers, which is why he gave her the Vipers Kiss when they fought, and she was saved. This is how she is the first diamond free to do as she wished, no longer restrained by the rules of the guild. Kyth had to go back and rule his kingdom with his father, and Kara went with him, at least until he was killed in the first wave….. It was then that the Zombies had hit. Now all she does is survive. Survive at all costs.​
 
Hey, ya'll, just a friendly reminder to keep OOC chatter in this thread as opposed the IC. Keep the channels clear and all that jazz.

@Bitterblue, you'll get used to the delay between posts--it's been habitually slow from the get go. ;3
Also, I'm not a fan of consecutive posting--I like to wait for at least one or two reply posts before I make another, so as not to hog the action, as it were. With the addition of new players, we're seeing the plot fork off in different directions. BitterBlue is the only one who entered in a plausible vicinity for interaction. Therefore, technically, hers is the only post that any of us could reply to. I was the last to post before her, so I was more or less giving everyone else a chance to say something before I threw up an immediate response.
Ya diggggg?
 
Also, in regards to @Bitterblue's character, it came off as very fantastical to me when I read it. As long as there's no magic and the like, it's fine. This is supposed to be more modern-realistic... or as realistic as ravenous zombie-noids can be. >_>
