    Welcome to our Walking Dead RP! Like any zombie roleplay, there will be action, gore and zombie killing, but at the heart of any RP within this genre is the twists, the turns, the drama, the heartache, and the joy of moral decisions that have both good and bad consequences.

    Everything you do and say could have consequences down the line. The walker you killed yesterday was actually the mother of the person you met today. That guy you refused to give food? He decided to take it anyway and killed your best friend. That little boy you helped? He came back with a large group to steal your supplies. In this world, each choice can mean the difference between life and death. Don't ever get too comfortable, because you never know when things will all go to hell.

    Of course, it's already there, isn't it?

    The GMs for this RP are @Lady Myst, @-QT-, and @Atomyk.

    Among the Ruined was a roleplay that went on for a year on another website (Roleplayer Guild) and ended up with four "seasons". Now, we're bringing it to Iwaku with a reboot of sorts. The events of the past RP will be a part of the new RP's lore, but knowledge of the previous RP will not be required for any new RPers joining us!

    So, what's the plot you may ask? It is not quite set in stone, but generally we'll be looking at various communities living their lives amidst the zombie apocalypse. Most of the people of these communities are just trying to survive and have to worry about the hardships that come with that. Of course, there will be conflicts between the survivors.

    New players will start in and around the cities of Natchez, Mississippi and Alexandria, Louisiana, though the plots surrounding Alexandria have yet to really kick off. In Natchez, a community has settled within a fortified school once known as Morgantown Middle School. "Morgantown" will be where characters new and old alike will be colliding and attempting some measure of peace as they all try and coexist together. There is another group in Natchez involving a walled off apartment complex.

    Right now, we're looking for input from past or new players on plots that will run into the future. Any input on plot, characters, or locations is always welcome.

    1) Absolutely no fighting in the OOC! You only get one warning, then your character(s) will be killed off and you will be banned from the RP.

    2) No overpowered characters. It's okay to have weaponry, but not everyone is survival trained and can make a rocket launcher with a pocket knife, some string and a potato. Be realistic with your character's skills and their weapons!

    3) An extension of the above rule-- We won't be accepting characters with military backgrounds. Characters with medical backgrounds will likely be asked to change as well. To avoid any conflicts it's best that you plan on your character having just been a regular person before the apocalypse hit. Stray from creating characters that have a particularly firearms-related background (Like someone who grew up hunting and is a skilled marksman).

    4) We don't have many limits when it comes to explicit content. Strong language is fine, and gore is more than likely to come up. However, absolutely no smut should occur. Romance is fine, but anything beyond kissing should fade to black. If you really want to RP that out, take it to PMs or the Libertine section (But make sure you're both of the correct age!).

    5) Killing of characters must be agreed upon, even NPCs. NPCs without a * next to their name are free to be moved around/controlled, required that their written personality/history is adhered to.

    6) All ideas are welcome! If you have any ideas for major plot-related ideas, characters. locations, etc. then please PM either any of the GMs.

    7) Before making any game changing decisions, please PM one of the GMs about it or discuss it in the OOC before posting it. This does not mean we need to make every decision for you, but MAJOR plot twists need to be approved by the GMs.

    8) You can have as many characters as you can handle. Do not ignore anyone and post regularly. If you can't post for a couple of days, let us know so we can move around your character. If you do not post in the IC or OOC or PM us for a significant amount of time, then your character will be made an NPC and likely become a walker/corpse. If you want to return after that, you will have to make another character.

    9) In that same vein, if you've been in the RP for some time and decide you want to go, the option for your character to become an NPC is there in case you ever return. Though NPCs are more likely to be killed off, the character just may be alive when you come back.

    10) People will die. It's a zombie survival RP. We ask that you strongly consider ideas for your character's death eventually, even if you don't really wish for them to die. While we will never kill off your character without your consent, no one is likely to survive forever in zombie fiction. Just keep the idea in mind when making your sheet.

    11) An important rule that some may take for granted: NO ONE IS IMMUNE. This is not "The Last of Us", this is a "The Walking Dead" RP. There is no cure and there is no immunity to the zombie virus. Everyone already has it. Your character can be working on a cure, but that is all that is permitted.

    12) Something we refer to as the "posting rule" should be in effect for every IC post. It is extremely helpful in keeping track of where everyone is. At the top of any post you make put in bold the name of the character you are currently playing, their location, and who you are interacting with. For example:

    Kim - Bus Stop - Steven

    If you are playing multiple characters in one post, just add their names in:

    Kim and Stacy - Restaurant - Each Other

    If there are multiple people in the same place and you don't know who you are interacting with at the moment, broaden the terms:

    Kim - Office - Everyone

    This way, no matter who replies, everyone who is currently in the office knows you might be interacting with them or can start an interaction.

    13) We reserve the right to add more rules if needed.​

    When making your character, keep in mind that the RP is currently approximately 10 months, since the apocalypse began and that the current general setting is the Louisiana/Mississippi area of America.

    Appearance: (We request that you do not use pictures of an anime style for appearance. Real life images are preferred, but you may also use portraits or art if it's realistic in style. If you have trouble finding these kinds of images, feel free to ask me for assistance.)

    Name:

    Age:

    Skills:
    (Is your character good at medicine? Cooking? Electronics? Hunting? Marksman? These can be skills acquired after the outbreak)

    Preferred Weapons (up to three): (Anything they would realistically have. This can be optional if you really have nothing in mind. You could even use it as a sort of character inventory if you want)

    Personality: (Both good and bad points)

    Bio: (Characters generally will not know much about each other at first, so feel free to offer only a brief history, such as what they were doing before the outbreak and what they've generally done since then)​

Damn was making my post and noticed that there are four pages of writing already!? And this started five days ago
 
I swear to God one of these days I am going to get to the damn library and make a decent post!

*Shakes fist* one of these days
 
okay I am on my tablet. I am determined to post SOMETHING! I'm sorry if I mess up something I am just assuming where everyone is according to posts but there are so many and so much to keep track of I might miss something important. I can edit my post later if that is the case.

EDIT:
I noticed that one of the girls is pregnant. I am hoping that she and Jess can become friends since Jess has already gone through a pregnancy in hell. Maybe they can bond and Jess can help her.

EDIT 2 : Holy cow! My fingers HURT! Typing on a tablet sucks! I will rest a bit then try to add another post with my character Heather, the nurse with PTSD, and another small one for Katie.
Again, sorry if I missed anything/screwed up something. Let me know and I can fix it. Also if anyone wants to interact with my characters or have me have them do something to cause an interaction just let me know.


EDIT 3 : I am on the chatzy too if anyone wants to get on a talk...
(translation : I am lonely *cries*)

~Name~
Joselina "Bitch" Summerfield

~Age~
25

~Gender~
Female

~Skiils~
+Mild Experience with Rifles+
+Major Experience with Melee+
+Minor Experience with Cooking+
+Minor Experience with Computers+
+Major Experience with Motorcycles and Automobiles+


~Preferred Weapons~

Tikka_M91_001.jpg
These World War 2-era rifles striving into the final years of the Cold War flooded Western markets upon the fall of the Berlin Wall. They are widely regarded as one of the most cheapest and readily available firearms for civilian use and some military use in poorer nations. This particular model is chambered in 7.62x39mm, a very common yet hard-hitting ammunition typically found being used for AK-47 variants

img_9953.jpg_thumbnail0.jpg
A typical, iconic American firearm that has been in service for a shocking one-hundred years. At the start of this RP, this particular firearm is actually broken, the slide jammed and unable to return to a resting position.


il_570xN.463767307_qi5v.jpg
A peculiar hybrid of two weapons, the "Bitch's Bite" is a makeshift, crude attempt of combining a baseball bat with a war ax through usage of a thin yet serrated saw-blade. The construction is shockingly firm, however, it is not fashioned out of a proper blacksmith and is subject to breakage quite quickly without proper care. Still, it is a formidable melee weapon on it's own right, and if anything, matches Joselina nearly perfectly. Also, despite the size in the picture above, this is realistically small baseball bat, almost akin to a Junior League bat.

~Personality~
Joselina is a rarity in this post-apocalyptic world, having already embraced the collapse of society willing months ago. As such, she is often eerily quiet and "shy", often avoiding large groups of people and only interacting with others as needed. Overall, Joselina keeps to herself, learning from the mistakes of her past, which makes it hard for her to interact with other people on a normal basis. Not only that, but her experiences already, the young woman has a fading sanity often. It is not uncommon that Joselina will sproadically do something brash and bold because of this, returning with but eerie silence. Finally, the woman is easily angered and often acts on instinct, almost akin to some feral dog in a loose aspect.

~Biography~
Joselina was one of many children born in the Summerfield family, a wealthy, extensive family located in Pnesacola, Florida. Being one of the oldest sisters of a whooping twelve children, Joselina held the burden growing up over watching many of her brothers and sisters alongside her mother, whom had become an influential businesswoman and renowned cook. Her dad, a stockholder for many electronic businesses, urged his daughter to embark onto a field of computing (despite Joselina having a clear passion for motorcycles and automobiles). However, all-in-all, despite the lavish wealth, Joselina's life felt demoralized and apathetic. Ironically, in her years within highschool, she turned into a petite gangster alongside some friends, trending into the more unlavish parts of northeastern Florida. There, she often dealt with narcotics and alcohol, being expelled from school and being forced to transfer.

As her years of college rolled around, her father practically forcing her through large sums of payments into prestigious colleges, this unhealthy trend continued. It eventually got to the point where Joselina dropped out of college, resenting this illusion of happiness through wealth, the only source of true happiness she could find within her family being her younger siblings, one of which was especially dear to her being young Mika. On the verge of being kicked out by her parents, arguing every day and night, the outbreak had swiftly occurred, a sudden wake-up call for Joselina's arrogance and selfish nature. In a fit of fear and confusion, Joselina escaped her family's home, of whence was being overrun in the middle of the night with her little, twelve-year-old sister Mika.

For a solid month, the two sisters ventured through a dying America upon a rusty, beat up motorcycle. Stopping somewhere in Alabama, Joselina and Mika were apprehended by a group of raiders and highwaymen. Within the confusion, Mika was killed by a gunshot to the head, the devastated Joselina being scarred to this day, watching her sister being executed in front of her. For the next seven months, Joselina was unsure exactly of what happened to her. Whatever the case may of been, she awoken, a muzzle attached to her face, her hands bloodied, and the bodies of nearly thirty brutally slaughtered men and women around her.

From there on out, Joselina has been wandering this newly-formed wasteland, sanity having long crumbled away, her story recalling back to her with each passing day.

~Other~
Teddy_bear_27.jpg
One of the few remaining relics of Joselina's past life, a constant reminder of who she used to be. She always carries this with her, no matter what. A reminder of a time she held humanity

+Identities as Bisexual+
+Used to be a Heroin Addict+
+An Alcoholic+
+Mentally Unstable+
+Backstory will be revealed more throughout the RP+
 
Btw, guys, I'm still looking for someone to interact with for Jake and Andy if anyone needs partners. :3 If not it's cool, just trying to figure out another way I can jump in with them. XD

Also, with Lia's last post, she headed into an old apartment to look for her dog. Anyone is free to crash this scene as well, I suppose. ^^
 
Some guy keeps pestering me to join this.

Screw that guy.
 
Shout out to Atom for hitting post

Appearance:
Gavin_free.jpg


Name: Reese Evans

Age: 27

Skills: Slow motion cinematography, incredible alcohol tolerance, average video game let's play skills, trolling, long distance running, basic life skills. Not much else

Preferred Weapons (up to three): He can't drive so any car he gets into becomes a lethal weapon on principle. Otherwise he just keeps up with a metallic baseball bat and anything else he can find if he absolutely needs it. Running is much much much more preferable.

Personality: Generally friendly, save when it comes to jokes and pranks in which case he's an asshole little troll. Known to be a little out there mentally, his eccentricities nevertheless give him a sort of charm. His weakness to anything soggy and or anything which he finds disgusting, temporarily incapacitates him as he vomits at the sight of it. He is even liable to retch if it's simply described. This, coupled with the fact that he is absolutely cowardly in regards to scary games/movies/things...have left it a bit of a puzzle on how he has been able to survive.

Bio: Before the outbreak, he was a British Lad living in Austin, Texas and working at a video production/entertainment studio. The large population there necessitated leaving not too long after and he and a number of others took to hiking it across states, just trying to keep ahead of the dead.

#SORRY NOT SORRY
Troll game too strong.
