Last Hopes
IC:http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=254624
It has been twelve years since the first reported case of infected were shown on TV, ten years since the last broadcast on a TV around here. It is two thousand twenty-five, already. You know, I can remember like it was yesterday, when the old world died. It was right before you were born, seemed like everyone was going to die. But we were lucky, the government thought we were important enough to protect. They protected us and provided for us for nearly ten years now. But the world isn't the same anymore, people have adapted and have survived.
Now son, I know this is all you have known for your life, but we can't stay here anymore. I want to give you the life I had, I want you to live without fear, without frequent loss, without having to go hungry or having to hide. Now if there is any truth to what those travelers said than we have to go. Your mother would want this for you, Boston is our last hope.

This is another Zombie RP, however I hope I can persuade you take a look at this RP as I believe I have made it unique to most others on here. This RP, like The Last of Us which I am getting inspiration from, primarily focuses on survival and interactions between survivors rather than fighting hordes of zombies. I will try to focus on what I consider to be realistic situations in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Where supplies and finding some shelter are just a important as avoiding zombies on your travels. The RP will focus on a group and possibly a few individual stories as people travel across the United States in search of what they think is their last chance at a life without the constant threat of hunger and zombies.
Players will start in or around the city of Des moines, Iowa. A friendly, but dangerous place. The Iowa National Guard secured a section of the city early on in the infection and walled it off so some may live on in the city. The quarantined zone is friendly to outsiders, but they are few and dare not travel through the unsafe parts of the city as Des Moines in no haven from danger itself. Plagued by frequent zombie attacks and infrequent rations, the city sees few and support few. But that is not the case for you. You will play a survivor of this land who either heard the rumors of safe passage to zombie-free lands in Boston or simply survivors looking for a group to work with as you travel the lands in hope of some kind of easier life.
As the RP focuses on survival, death of players is entirely possible, I will be lenient at first and forgiving. But as the RP goes on foolish decisions will have consequences and eventually death. The group will have to make tough decisions as supplies run low and make greater risks than they would normally care to. I will try to provide scenarios to test the skills of the group, see if survival trumps compassion and even try to make the group turn on one another as they journey. Players can join whenever they so choose as the group can find survivors in their travels.

Applications
Application Notes
-Pictures are always preferred for appearance
-Be very specific with all forms of items, I would like to know every item you have
-This is twelve years into the outbreak, much of your supplies will have been used by now
-Please specify if you would like to have your own personal adventure and meet the group later...this is ONLY for people who will be very infrequent in activity and won't be able to keep up with group events
-No military grade equipment, try to be as realistic with weapons as possible
-Bios must be at least two paragraphs, if you do not have an RP sample this is what I will base it off of and if I have to base RP skill off of a bio alone I will be a tough judge so probably best to write more.
-TG me if you have specific questions pertaining to the app, will be quicker for me to respond and notice
-Specific Skills is not a limitation, just a spot for you to put unique things you think you can provide that others may not
