Welcome To Oakwood
It's May 17th, 2015. The sun is setting, hovering beneath the horizon to make its dramatic exit into the unknown. There is no need to explain the obvious. It's been used as a story for television shows, books, hell even the damn bastards were glorified on T-shirts. I can't think of the last time I heard those shit stories without having to think twice. It was all a joke.
My name? The Governor. I am the leader of a small town that has survived for over two years now. The first group of survivors cleared out the area and built up the wall surrounding them, creating a barrier that separated us, from the dead. It was an easy way to keep them out, taking only the concrete found within the city and mixing it with the gravel and dirt from outside. The height of the wall grew, and eventually became the motherly, embrace that keeps us safe today.
The entire town is the shape of a square, being under a quarter of a mile long on all sides. The south touched the forest, as does the north. The west touched a river that was parallel to our city and east lies the rest of the city; open, and ready for the future generations to expand on. The town was much smaller back then, but more survivors showed up, and we couldn't leave them out for dead. Only a year ago, we managed to obtain pure communication. My workers built a radio tower and we made our voices heard as far as the eye could see. Other cities and groups of survivors traded with us, and in the end, ended up adding to our fast-growing population. The people we took in always pitched in to the loving community. Engineers made the windmills that gave us electricity, the nurses gave us the healthcare we desired, the determined built our warm homes, and the intelligent were placed under me.
Houses align the streets, packed together like urban apartments and supply shops are scattered throughout, always open and accepting. We even use money. No one could let it go even after the dead arrived, so we decided to leave it as our currency. The plumbing is still being tinkered with, typically having small issues from the lack of city water, but hey, we've got electricity.
It may sound dandy, but order is kept here. Felonies are punishable by death, and misdemeanors are not acceptable. We follow the same principles that America stood on before the attack, but now, with a little more force. Things can get out of hand with a simple flick of the wrist, so we take no risk. You know who is in charge here.
Today is the third year anniversary of Oakwood, and we planned something spectacular for our people. But, an unidentified helicopter was shot down by unknown fire right outside our walls. The only hope remaining are the ones that are alive, and manage to make it here alive. I opened my gates to them, but how willing are they to stay under my control?

The Rules
1.) Before I get started, I'm going to state this. I am the owner of this role play, so what I say, goes. I'm a nice person, so please, don't make me have to do anything that would involve me stepping out of my comfort zone and ejecting you from the role play. We both wouldn't want that, now would we? Just follow these simple rules and you should be good to go.
2.) Please use common sense and respect everyone within this role play. I feel I don't need to even tell you this because I'm sure we are all old enough to know better. But, treat everyone as you would want to be treated. No hostility towards other members, even if they do something, believe in something, or look like someone you dislike. We can all manage to be friends here.
3.) Do not, I repeat, do not make your characters similar to a canon, or real life person. I want original characters here. I want you to make the best damn character you have ever created, and that is what I am expecting from you. Make a character you are proud of playing. Don't be afraid to step out of the boundary and whip up something extraordinary. I want you to try, make an impression!
4.) All site rules apply even in this role play. Not just a few particular ones, but all of them in general. I do not want to see sticky details, or overly graphic scenes. It will automatically get you ejected from this role play, and I'm sure, from this site as well. There are members with varying ages that will be participating in this thread so please, refrain from describing things with extensive detail. If you and another person are the same age, please feel free to take it to the Mature section.
5.) Do not god mod, control, or kill of any character unless you have the owner's permission. I feel this is a rule in the role play guide that you should know by now. You may hit, or injure other characters, but stay within a boundary that doesn't blatantly slaughter them. You wouldn't want someone to do it with your character, would you?
6.) All I ask from you is type at least 2-4 paragraphs a post. This will be a slow, turn-based role play, so if you can't manage a paragraph I suggest you turn back now. Make sure you watch your grammar and spelling, but nonetheless, I'm not picky at all about this. I just want you to try and put effort in your posts. No one-liners.
7.) If you still don't understand how this role play will play out, as I stated above, it's a turn-based role play. Meaning, once we have enough participants, I will shuffle our names to make a posting order. The first person will post, and then after that, the next.. etcetera. A day, or even two, will be the time limit. Any longer than that you will receive a friendly reminder, or after many times, we will skip you. I don't want to do this. I understand we all have lives, so if you have a legit excuse to why you can't post, we will wait. Everyone deserves a chance.
8.) Make sure you read everything. Character sheets, personalities, biographies, the rules, the plot, and posts. I don't want to have to baby you through the story all because you were too lazy to read. A little reading goes a long way! Lastly, don't be afraid to ask questions. They are more than welcome, and it shows me how interested you are.
