    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.​

They call me Momma Myst for a reason. Don't mess with my babies. And Scarlett is one of my babies.
 
Appearance:
vr672u.jpg

He stands at 6'3", his muscular build weighs nearly 200lbs. He has many tattoos decorating his 42 inch chest.

Name: Herman "Cutter" Pierce

Age: 36

Skills: Previously a mechanic and motorcycle enthusiast, he can get most vehicles running again provided he has some parts. He can take a hit better than anyone else, it takes allot to knock him down. While he is not incredibly fast he is very strong, it is an idea of his that if a man can be stronger he must be.

Preferred Weapons (up to three): He carries a 4 ft long steel chain, a knuckled knife, and Colt Anaconda.

Personality: Herman is a stand offish man, he doesnt take kindly to people threatening him and will always try and back people down. His size has always given him an aura of danger but he's a generally kind man when you get to know him.

Bio:
Born in Austin, Texas. He was raised in a good home and his dad and mom didnt fight, but he had always read about the bikers in the paper. They were tough guys, modern vikings. His mom cooked allot of sweet foods and he started to become a round boy around the 4th grade. He stayed the rotund boy until the 9th grade when he hit puberty. He grew a foot and a half taller and thinned out. He stood tall among his friends and eventually earned respect as he started to take on some of his previous bullies. Eventually he got to beating up people that didnt really deserve it, and soon came to be a part of the crowd that didnt do what they were supposed to. He began hanging out with this one guy, Allen. Allen came from a bad home, his mom left early and his dad was never around. But it became clear to Herman that Allen's dad wasnt around because he was in prison. Allen's father was a member of a motorcycle gang, a real outlaw.

Herman thought it was cool that Allen's dad got locked up and Allen took this as a sign that Herman wanted in on the life. Allen brought Herman to one of the gang's hangouts and after some time hanging around the boys moved up in the heirarchy. One Wednesday afternoon Herman was hanging around the club and was told to come with 3 patched members to a place. The car they took was an older van with a sliding door. When Herman got inside he saw several guns in the back, all looked like automatics. One of the older members, Soldier, handed Herman a Mac-10. Soldier told Herman that he was about to be a part of his first real Club activity, that he was going to participate in a drive-by. The van was driven to a rival neighborhood, it belonged to a street gang and as they drove around they saw a group of four African American men wearing colors of a local gang. The side door was slid open and Soldier grabbed an AK-47 from the bed of the van and aimed it at Herman, he told Herman to shoot or be shot. Herman did as he was told and sprayed the bullets into the group of men. He saw one caught a bullet in the forehead, another caught several shots in the chest. One was shot in the leg then the stomach. The van immediately sped up and Herman fell over, Soldier caught him and helped him regain his balance in the quickly speeding van. Soldier took the magazine out of the gun and showed it to Herman, there were no bullets in it. Soldier has a wide smile on his face and patted the side of Hermans face, the van was taken to a place and Soldier put a fair amount of rope leading into the gas tank before lighting it. The men were all picked up by a few different vehicles, and Herman rode with Soldier. When Herman got back he was made a prospect. Soldier bought him a bike and helped teach him some of the rules, Allen and Herman spread apart after all this. After a few years Herman became very adamant about violence for the gang.

He gained the nickname Cutter after he displayed an aptitude with his knife to extract information. By the time he had reached aged 36, Soldier had gotten old. He had been put in a comfy retirement cottage that was paid for by the gang. Herman was visiting Soldier when the outbreak started, he wanted to make sure his old mentor was still kicking. The old man had died in the time he was alone, and his roaming corpse stayed inside the house. Herman didnt like looking at his friend like this and took out the large revolver from his beltline and aimed it at Soldier's corpse through a window. He pulled the hammer back with his thumb and pulled the trigger. Soldier's brains dropped out of the back of his head from the exit wound as his corpse fell to the floor.

Since that day Cutter has been roaming and surviving, killing walker's wherever he could. Eating whatever he could. Fighting whoever got in his way.

Well, it's gonna get set up a bit. Nothing huge will be happening with it yet.
 
I'm sorry I've been MIA guys. I've been training at my new job and going being sick. Plus I'm kind of at a stand still as to what to do with my characters. Plus its really hard to type out a post from my phone. Can't get a new computer for a while
