The Walking Dead: Culling - S1

[-QT-]

IN CHARACTER THREAD (IC)

Welcome to The Walking Dead: Culling - Season 1

This roleplay will take place in an alternative Walking Dead universe, where Created Characters will battle it out for survival. This roleplay is meant to be very dramatic and full of realism - some of the key factors that make The Walking Dead Television Series one of the best long-lasting shows in the world. Similar to the series, you can expect horror and character deaths - aspects that I hope you are open to and understand. There will be a main plot, one that hopefully strives and pushes the story forward into numerous seasons. Without further adieu, let's get into some crucial information.

CHARACTER INDEX

—

Time and Location

Our characters will find ourselves in Houston, Texas - October 20, 2017. For those of you who have not had the chance of visiting, Houston is one of the most populated cities in the entire country - with about 2.3 million people in 2016. In accordance to its population, Houston is a vary racially diverse city. A majority of the residents are of Hispanic, Latino and Vietnamese origin, but the entire city is full of a variety of races and ethnicity. This gives you as a roleplayer the creative freedom to construct amazing characters that will add various dynamics to our story. We will start in Southwest Houston (the area map provided below), an area devastated by Hurricane in August of 2017. Unlike reality, our world would be absent reconstruction and relief efforts - as the Hurricane not only brought property destruction, but the spread of an unknown disease.

Disease and Walkers

The Walking Dead (both the series and comic book) have implemented a sense of obscurity and unknown when it comes to the spread of the disease. No one really knows how it started or why, everyone had a different speculation - speculations usually pushed to truths by the media. The disease spread quickly, the government issued a state of emergency, giving them power to act outside of constitutional law. First decree was for the military to "cleanse" the spread of this atrocious sickness. They disregarded the non-derogable right of life and massacred hundreds - emptying the hospitals for those with a chance. Chaos ensued all around the world as the disease had become a worldwide epidemic. Most Houstonians (the civil people of the city) went into hiding. Police stations and fire stations opened up for refuge, but their supplies were limited - restricting the amount of people able to remain in their facility.

The infection worked like this: once infected, death seemed inevitable. No medication or treatment cured the disease, nor did it seem to prompt any form of recovery. The sick would soon die, but then, they would return. The dead would walk the earth once more, woken from their sleep to bring forth more death. They would spread the disease through bites, the spread of blood and other unknown sources. It was like a cancer, spreading and spreading until every cell bore the tainted virus. The only way to put one of these Walkers down was to pierce their skull and ruin the brain. Unfortunately that information was foreign to those that have never come in contact with a Walker or managed to kill one.

Note: In this world, ZOMBIES are not a genre - the fictional undead do not exist in this universe.

Our Story

The story for our characters will begin 6 weeks after the collapse of the city of Houston. The government is no longer active in this area - there are theories that the US Govt. is helping prevent the spread from entering the US/Mexican Border. Electric power plants have been out for almost a month now and there is no form of communication aside from walkie-talkies and HAM radios. Cell phones are limited to bluetooth services as some phone companies have made emergency contact available without internet or wifi (but it's been a month, you're most likely out of battery). There is a limited supply of water from the reservoirs. Most have been contaminated by the dead or controlled by unknown sources. Supermarket and grocery stores have been looted and nearly all essential items are gone. Law enforcement is limited and duty no longer excels survival. You are on your own. Find shelter, find people you can trust and work together to survive.

Walkers are migrating from downtown to the Southwest area and are moving faster than you think. I encourage players to create groups from the get-go - an idea to prevent you from not knowing how to start. I will do my best to get your characters involved. If you have ideas, questions or request, feel free to PM me or post them here. Let's all have fun yea?​

Rules and Regulations

1. I am the BIG BOSS, you respect the BIG BOSS

2. Be kind to other players, treat others the way you'd like to be treated (outside IC)

3. You may control as many characters as you can handle. If you cannot handle the characters you initially create, you will most likely see them dead.

4. Speaking of CHARACTER DEATH, it WILL occur. Frequently? I'm not sure. Important characters will die with great honor and meaningful deaths. I want everyone to be open-minded on having their character die. If you want your character to go a certain way, PM me and we can work something out. For the sake of the Role-play and its story, I may ask you permission to kill your character off - under reasonable circumstances. Again, please be open-minded to this idea as it is something that will impact the entirety of this role-play.

5. Do not take IC Posts personally. This is something that has happened before and it must be addressed. Characters may not like each other, that does not mean that Role-players do not like each other. Example: If my character beats up your character every single day and calls him a "wuss", don't think QT doesn't like you. It's my character that doesn't like your characters - simple as that. This role-play is meant to be realistic (at least physiologically). There is meant to be drama, but only IC drama.

6. Post Length: Minimum of three to four paragraphs (a paragraph = 5-10 sentences).

7. Try not to write fluff, get somewhere. Filler is inevitable, but do your best to get where you need to be as quickly as possible - within reason of course.

8. Have fun.

9. TV-14: This role-play contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 role-play unattended. This role-play may contain one or more of the following: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).

10. Have more fun.​

Physical Description

Height: 5'10
Weight: 165lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Dark Brown

Typical Clothing/Equiptment (include weapons):
Aside from his HPD Uniform, Frank appreciates 'common clothes'. This includes dark colored t-shirts (black, navy blue, dark gray), both long and short sleeve and cargo pants - something with enough pockets to carry numerous things. He wears his steel toed boots with nearly every outfit as it was something his military family bestowed upon him. In addition to his firearm (a licensed Sig Sauer P220 provided by the HPD) and all other equipment supplied by the force, Frank carried a folding knife - it tends to come in handy more than one would imagine.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: Frank is sometimes self-absorbed and takes no account of others feelings and emotions. This often occurs after he starts drinking (on and off the job), an addiction he fails to address. This attitude has proven to jeopardize his frame of mind, causing him to overstep his boundaries as a peace officer. He has been hit with numerous claims of excessive force and verbal abuse while on the job - claims that never seem to stick. However, if sober, Frank may be one of the most respected policeman in his district. He takes his job seriously and holds no sympathy for criminals.

Skills/Talents: Attention to detail may be Frank's most valuable trait. He knows how to analyze situations and act accordingly - most of the time. He carries his weapons with utmost respect and integrity and is quite the shot.

Weaknesses: Alcoholic and Close-Minded
Fears: Lonesome death, claustrophobic
Hobbies/Interests: Gun Range, Basketball and Pool
Religion/Beliefs: Nonbeliever

Place of Birth: McAllen, Texas

Gender: Female

Language(s): Spanish, English, ASL

Family/Friends/Pets/Etc: All of her family and friends were left in McAllen and in Reynosa, Mexico.


Physical Description


Height: 5'5"


Weight: 145 lbs


Hair Color: Brown


Eye Color: Chocolate Brown


Typical Clothing/Equipment (include weapons): Opting for the easy route in clothing, Avery wears a pair of sturdy jeans, a black t-shirt, and her black firefighting boots which have kept up with her over the years. Her hair is typically seen up in a pony tail all while she wears a black hat to shield her from the unforgiving Texas sun. She totes along a backpack that always has bandaging in it, as well as two bottles of water, Tylenol, and a screwdriver. On her hand you will always find a bloodied axe, that has saved her life several times.


Personality/Attributes


Personality/Attitude: Avery has a heart of gold. Ever since young she has always wanted to help those that were in need. Over the years, though, she came to see how the world worked which toughened her up. Insults hardly ever phase her, and her tone with most that she doesn't know is monotone and sometimes rude. She is one to try to keep an open mind but takes everything with a grain of salt, and would like those close to her to think the same way.


Skills/Talents: First aid comes naturally, being trained in handling anything from choking to a severe burn. Having lived alone for several years, and many of those having been on a low budget, Avery learned to make meals out of whatever she had. The times that she was on her shift for hours on end, Avery also learned to manage her hunger.


Weaknesses: Avery does not like guns or rifles or any type of firearm. Her father had a strict "No Firearms" rule while she grew up. Once she moved up to Houston, her friends did take her a few times to the shooting rage in order for her to learn how to defend herself with a gun but her anxiety was too severe and she would practically run out.


Fears: Water, firearms, clowns, insects.


Hobbies/Interests: Cycling, Crossfit, volunteering at animal shelters.

Occupation: Firefighter


Past Occupations: Full time student, part time coach at the YMCA.

[SheriffLlama]

Name: Clinton "Clint" Salyers

Place of Birth: San Antonio, Texas

Gender: Male

Language(s): English

Family/Friends/Pets/Etc:


Physical Description


Height: 6'1

Weight: 185

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Hazel

Detailed Physical Description: Clint is a fit guy, the result of having played sports throughout high school. He is slightly above average height, and broad shouldered. He has medium length hair on top, but the sides of his head are normally buzzed down to the scalp, however the apocalypse has cut off his access to a barber, so his appearance looks a bit grizzled at this point. He normally wears a beard that is always neatly shaped.


Typical Clothing/Equipment:

• Casual Clothes (Jeans, Boots, T-shirt, Flannel)
  
  
• Military Backpack (Essentials, Extra Clothes, Paracord, Cans of Food, Duct Tape, Multitool, Box of 9mm Ammo etc.)
  
  
• Glock 19
  
  
• Camera Bag (Canon 5D MkIV, 17-55mm Lens, Assorted Tools)
  

Personality/Attributes


Personality/Attitude: Growing up, Clint had legitimate anger management issues. As he got older, however, he learned to manage them. As a mature adult, he very much desires peaceful interaction and is very diplomatic and patient with people. However, if the situation comes that he is pushed over the edge, his anger is purely unbridled. Being someone who's character is naturally polar, he is very protective of those he loves. He forms quick bonds with people, and can be sometimes loyal to a fault.


Skills/Talents: Being a state-champion quarterback in high school, Clint has always been very fit and healthy. Clint is strong and fast, the result of maintaining a workout regiment over the years. Aside from athletics, Clint inherited his father's love for cameras and photography, and has an advanced knowledge of both. His dad was an outdoorsman and taught him to shoot guns, so Clint knows his way around firearms as well.


Weaknesses: In high school and college, Clint's football career left him with 3 concussions, the last of which took a toll on his hearing. He now has audio-sensory issues and is very susceptible to noise-induced headaches. When Clint is pushed to anger, he is completely unstoppable, as his anger drives him like nothing else.


Fears: Clint is scared of losing his family. Having grown up protecting his sister from idiotic boys, he fears of failing her and seeing her get hurt. He fears being the person to cause his loved ones pain. He also frickin' hates spiders.


Hobbies/Interests: Photography, Football, Guns


Religion/Beliefs: Agnostic, Once-Protestant-Christian


Occupation: Photographer, shoots for different Outdoor Apparel and Equipment Brands


Past Occupations: Wendy's Drive-Thru, Lawnmowing, Sports Photographer

Personality/Attitude: Su-rin comes off as a very quiet girl who seems to be rather harmless. However she can turn into a cold blooded killer whenever it is needed.

Next to that she also broke her ankle when she was 24 while doing parkour which left her with permanent damage to it and makes it hard for her to walk on it at times.
Fears: Su-rin is not scared of much but if there is anything it is children. Not in the way of children themselves, but rather the pain the disaster has caused to them. To her, children have a mind even she can't understand and it scares her. This is why when she sees a child walker, she always kills them without looking at them. She wants to relieve them of their torture but she does not want to look the child in their eyes. She is also scared of the parents of diseased children, knowing they can be very scary people.

Additional Notes: Had to kill wife and son after they turned with bare hands, breaking the necks of both, this has mentally scarred him and driven him to start drinking heavily in his spare time, though he takes any tasks that he has with fervor and determination and doesn't drink during these times.

It still says Heavy WIP at the top, so I'm unsure if you're done or working out the kinks.

In the "Additional Notes" it says your character kills his wife and son, breaking their necks with his bare hands after the turned. Walkers in this world die by piercing the skull, so a neck wound would not kill them. That may have been implied, but the wording makes it seem that he killed them by breaking their necks. If you could simply word it a little bit different that'd be perfect.

Do let me know when you're finished with him though!

Personality/Attributes


Personality/Attitude: Growing up, Clint had legitimate anger management issues. As he got older, however, he learned to manage them. As a mature adult, he very much desires peaceful interaction and is very diplomatic and patient with people. However, if the situation comes that he is pushed over the edge, his anger is purely unbridled. Being someone who's character is naturally polar, he is very protective of those he loves. He forms quick bonds with people, and can be sometimes loyal to a fault.


Skills/Talents: Being a state-champion quarterback in high school, Clint has always been very fit and healthy. Clint is strong and fast, the result of maintaining a workout regiment over the years. Aside from athletics, Clint inherited his father's love for cameras and photography, and has an advanced knowledge of both. His dad was an outdoorsman and taught him to shoot guns, so Clint knows his way around firearms as well.


Weaknesses: In high school and college, Clint's football career left him with 3 concussions, the last of which took a toll on his hearing. He now has audio-sensory issues and is very susceptible to noise-induced headaches. When Clint is pushed to anger, he is completely unstoppable, as his anger drives him like nothing else.


Fears: Clint is scared of losing his family. Having grown up protecting his sister from idiotic boys, he fears of failing her and seeing her get hurt. He fears being the person to cause his loved ones pain. He also frickin' hates spiders.


Hobbies/Interests: Photography, Football, Guns


Religion/Beliefs: Agnostic, Once-Protestant-Christian


Occupation: Photographer, shoots for different Outdoor Apparel and Equipment Brands


Past Occupations: Wendy's Drive-Thru, Lawnmowing, Sports Photographer

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: Su-rin comes off as a very quiet girl who seems to be rather harmless. However she can turn into a cold blooded killer whenever it is needed. In the short time she has been in this mess she has understood that being sensitive is not the way of living. It's either live or die. She is very caring towards her companions however, making her a trustworthy listener.
Skills/Talents: She practiced parkour, basic medical knowledge, psychologist, daughter of a special-ops soldier so knows how to handle a gun
Weaknesses: Su-rin is sensitive to the pain of others and can't stand it to listen to other people's hurt. This is what made her a good psychologist, she knew how to put herself into the shoes of her patients. Next to that she also broke her ankle when she was 24 while doing parkour which left her with permanent damage to it and makes it hard for her to walk on it at times.
Fears: Su-rin is not scared of much but if there is anything it is children. Not in the way of children themselves, but rather the pain the disaster has caused to them. To her, children have a mind even she can't understand and it scares her. This is why when she sees a child walker, she always kills them without looking at them. She wants to relieve them of their torture but she does not want to look the child in their eyes. She is also scared of the parents of diseased children, knowing they can be very scary people.
Hobbies/Interests: Parkour, gardening, camping
Religion/Beliefs: She believes in no one but herself.
Occupation: Psychologist
Past Occupations: Competition parkourist until her accident
​

Your characters Personality contradicts her Weakness (or I may be wrong). In the "Personality" tab it states she understands that being sensitive in a world like this is not the way of living, but then her "Weakness" is that she IS sensitive to the pain of others. If she understands that sensitivity kills her, why is she sensitive?

That could be something you planned, an internal struggle for your character, or it could just be a mistake. Let me know if you planned that or you just didn't realize it.

Thanks!

@-QT-
It is indeed more of an inner struggle for her. She understands this, but she is still human, and humans have emotions. Some that can't be controlled due to certain things that happen.

- Currently wearing a black long sleeve Team USA Soccer Camp shirt with fitted jeans. Her school backpack has some math, science, and chemistry books in them, along with her mace her father provided.

- Since the collapse she has acquiesced a Fireman's Ax from the school's emergency Fire case, stockpiled food, water, and drinks from the school cafeteria and vending machines, and also medicine and first aid items from the school infirmary.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude:
Mel is typically a courteous girl by nature, and rarely ever takes risks. Somewhat shy to anyone inspecting her personally. Thus from this she also has very low sense of ambition as her curiosity is never piqued. She occasionally displays self control whenever a mature moment calls for it, and is known to provide a generously nurturing side to those who're deeply in need. She leans on trust maybe more than she should, seeing the good in everyone, but she compensates for this by keeping people distant and never being honest with them about who she is. She can be loyal if proven the person is capable of being followed.

Despite these fluctuations, Mel is actually a really affectionate person at heart, generally a romantic and flirty girly girl underneath the exterior she exudes. She's sympathetic as well altruistic once you get to the root of understanding her. She's very observant of others and touch and go in terms of optimism. She often leads with her heart and thinking instead of logic. Because of these fluctuations yet introverted tendencies, she can Be fairly unstable at times. Not impulsive or devious, simply unstable.


Skills/Talents:
Mel plays and is very adept at soccer. She plays right defender and forward, and has even attended several USA camps. Thus she is athletically fit and flexible, capable of bending full fold and sprinting for enhanced amounts of time; Also a bit of rough side and tomboy tendencies in her that makes her able to deal with physically demanding conditions. She's had her fair share of fights when she was a younger girl with boys in her neighborhood. Also looking at her, one would never know she is a scientific genius, the opposite of the status quo set in blondes. Her passion for physics and chemistry is only matched by her silent intelligence, afraid she'd be seen as a total geek. She has a secondhand experience with math as well. She knows her periodic tables and property makeup of almost anything.

Her father was raised a country man, so Mel knows about produce as well as an independent lifestyle. Mel is also trilingual in English, Latin and Spanish, as her father is Causcasian and her mother was Hispanic (Brazilian). She took Latin classes her Sophomore and Junior years. Also, she can cook her ass off, as her mother used to share family recipes with her, adding to her love for science in the mixing of herbs, spices, and elements of Mother Earth. Science and Art is one in the same to her. She's also a very good swimmer, swimming by herself since age 5 via lessons.


Weaknesses: She knows nothing about cars, mechanics (unless it's quantum), or vehicles. She also often overthinks a lot and can be a bit stubborn and melodramatic on more of the personal front. Add in she's a teenager and a young woman with cycles her constant opposing traits sometimes come off as unruly to others. She's not opposed to weapons but she's never embraced them either. She's never shot a gun at all, so her skill in that isn't a toss up. She absolutely HATES men hitting other women, and seeing people sick as well (because of her mother).


Fears: Mel's biggest fear is being alone permanently. She isn't a very material girl at all, so snakes, bugs, guns etc don't really scare her. It's the deeper things. Isolation, Fate, Destination, all of these things she deeply contemplates from time to time. No one wants to die, but she'd hate it if she died without being anything to the world.

Hobbies/Interests: Soccer, Science, Horror Movies, LOVES Sports (Houston Texans and Rockets fan), cooking, exercising, reading comics and novels, researching interesting thing she about space and science, Ballet (only to help soccer agility), LOVES to swim (took swimming lessons at Houston University as a child), she likes video games and board games, and she loves the following music: R&B, Reggae, Pop, Old Rock, and House music.

Religion/Beliefs: Raised Catholic, Believes in God heavy and has a strong sense of supernatural faith.

Occupation: Senior at Reagan High School (Soccer Athlete)

Past Occupations: Never had a job.

Additional Notes:
* Has a raspy voice
* tugs the bottom of her hair when she's nervous
* can whistle REALLY loud
