The Walking Dead RP [OOC 2.0] [REBOOT?]

[Ziogen]

Take over a character? Tell me more, oh Tilted one.

Simply put, I have some blank characters in the Church. They are completely faceless and nameless. You would just make a character and take up one of these blank spots. That way your character is already a part of the Church and doesn't need to be 'found' or introduced. All you really need to do is make up a story about how your character came upon Stryker and became part of the group. Stryker's group is mostly composed of people that he saved from death, so that'd be a good start.

Wish I knew that, would have been easier and less silly. Oh well.

[Nexeria]

They've only been saying like two hundred dozen times.

You might be able to retract/edit your post and do that, since you have not posted too much.

Verk, you should probably repost Stryker's group summary from the last OOC.

Here's your old recap from the old OOC:

Just because I want to be helpful today, I'm going to explain what has happened for the people who are assuming the roles of the blank NPC's in Stryker's group.

Stryker over the course of 2-3 months has worked his down from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Tennessee and has formed his own group, which he is leader of, meeting your character and journeying with so on.

Stryker's has problems for lack of better words, but is still a very capable leader.

The first thing Stryker has done since returning to this RP was that he and his group raided group of soldiers that were parked at a gas station. He kind of lost his mind, like he does at times, and force fed a dude's neck to a headless walker. Now, he does not remember doing this, but everyone in his group remembers it clearly, so feel free to judge your leader based off of that. Anyways, they killed one of the soldier's and stole their supplies and humvees.

Elsewhere, the Ann Arbor Survivor Group (My group) crashed out of the sky after our plane exploded. We grinded to a halt onto an airfield and quickly made a mad dash for a vacant hangar.

Stryker and his group noticed the crash and took their newly-stolen humvees to a nearby clearing in behind some trees next to airport. Stryker sent some of his people to scout out the area. Once they returned they informed Stryker that there was group hiding out in a hangar. Billy a 15-year-old kid that was part of Stryker's group volunteered to keep watch in the woods to see if anyone was coming down the road. Stryker allowed this believing that the kid was fully capable of the job.

Captain Shelton and Monroe of the Ann Arbor Survivor Group went outside of the hangar to investigate what sounded like vehicles driving around (Stryker's humvees). Little did Stryker know that the soldiers his group raided earlier were supposed to meet our group and give us a ride to safe place that Captain Shelton has referred to as The Compound.

Shelton and Monroe snuck up on Billy and began uh... "interrogating" him. Billy being a loyal to his leader tried not to answer any of the questions. Stryker was unaware of what was going on at this time and through a conversation with his friends, Grimm and Jess, they informed him of the the soldier Stryker killed earlier, to which Stryker didn't recall. Unknown to them this information was being broadcasted over to Billy's radio and into Shelton's ears.

In a fit of rage at hearing one of his old friends had just recently been killed, Shelton blew Billy's brains out. The shot alarmed Stryker group and they quickly went to investigate. Stryker encountered Shelton and Monroe and had long conversation Shelton. Stryker was depressed over the loss of Billy and felt it was slightly his fault but also mostly Shelton's fault. Through a long conversation and a gathering horde Shelton and Stryker agreed not to kill each other, for there had already been too much death today. They formed a truce that was quickly betrayed by Shelton after he made back to the hangar and fired a grenade at the humvees that were thinning out the horde for our group. Stryker was hit by a bullet that tore through his left eyebrow chipping the bone.

Stryker and his group retreated to a nearby church next to the highway and spent the night there.

Morning come, Stryker's group is salvaging supplies off of broken down cars on the highway as the Ann Arbor Survivor Group prepares to leave the hangar and go to The Compound.

I think that about sums it up. Tell me if I missed any juicy deets.

It's been about a month after this. The Church has a wall now! (And 5-6 more blank npcs, feel free to take those too)

You seem to forget that Scott and Nick broke the truce and The Captain urged them not to, supporting them only because he feared for their safety. That's not to say he wouldn't have eventually gone after Stryker, it's just a detail I'd prefer be correct in summaries.

[Stovilium]

Still spots available? If so my current character idea would be that of a mechanic, or a truck driver?

Yeah, go for it.

Well, it's Nex's summary. He can fix it.

NAME: Buck Mayson
AGE: 36
NATIONALITY: American
RACE: Caucasian
SKILLS: Capable of driving trucks, basic firearms training, well built, decent mechanic
WEAPONRY: Heavy duty wrench,
VEHICLE: No
BIOGRAPHY: Buck was born roughly 36 years ago, in Denver, Colorado. He grew up with a generally standard education, nothing to elaborate on to any real degree, besides his time spent boxing at the ages of 15-18. He grew up often desiring to experience much about the world as many children did, however by his 21st birthday he had signed up for the U.S armed forces, his intentions to experience the life of a soldier for a while, which he did for a fair amount of time until around his early 20's where he promptly left to pursue other ventures.

in his mid 20's he spent time as a heavy truck driver and mechanic, once more for the ability to see the world, or America, spending time travelling across states and timezones for deliveries. Upon his interests as an American had been that of weapons; it was known to his friends that Buck was a fair gun enthusiast, not over the top enthusiastic, but enough for him to regularly attend a firing range with his friends. However the gym was another popular place of meeting for the group; although Buck enjoyed weaponry he was always more of a hard hitter than a crack-shot, and so he ensured his fitness was at a desirable level when he could.

When the Apocalypse came Buck was in the middle of a long interstate haul as per usual. However the radio and general word spread to him sooner or later. Whatever it was, skill or dumb luck Buck hadn't died within the first few days and spent the next few weeks with his truck. Repairing it as often as he could it was clear that traveling the roads wouldn't be a long term solution, and so the truck was left along a highway when the still traffic was too much to traverse.

Well, sorry. I made that summary a long while back. That was just my perspective at the time. Feel free to edit and repost it.

I have one problem with your bio and that is that it references a lot of Zombie lore.

Wait, what kind of mom plays L4D and Resident Evil?

At the Compound.

And are you more or less up-to-date on what's going on? What the situation is?

Which isn't a problem. Some zombie-fanatics are bound to have survived the apocalypse. And the answer to your question is: women that enjoy playing video games, and didn't stop playing them just because they had kids.

Zombie lore fed to a society that at one point thought that it could never really truly happen. Honestly she would be one of those characters just showing up to the Compound, how would she have survived by herself without some sort of base for how to do so? The average person before something like this would have had some sort of brush with pop culture zombies, she did not play the games, she did read the book as a joke, and that is about all. I can remove the lore if you would like.

As to your other question, that I did not see before posting this. Me, I have did and do play it with my girls and their friends. I am not very good at them but I still play them.

It's fine from my point of view. I've seen examples of similar people IRL.

Would I need to go back to Eps 4 or will the jump into Eps 5 suffice? I will read through 4 if you would like me too before jumping in with my first post with this character. Do you want me to TG you about a few of my thoughts or post them here in the open?

[Nexeria]

Okay, fine. Just please don't reference them too much in the IC. Make sure you provide some good backstory into your character, too.

Hehe, she was a bouncer. That I'm cool with.

[Virenna]

Thanks, can't wait to see more of the Kenny/Zoe dynamic, should make for much feels

Honestly you don't have to warn me about backstory. I won't reference them at all in the IC because honestly most of what the book stated turned out to be wrong, or so she has had to learn. Lucky for her she thinks quick on her feet.
