Red Earth/Zombie Apocalypse RP/OOC/Reboot

[New Abrahammia]

We all know how this goes.

Zombie outbreak makes everyone sad and makes the whole world sad. Society has broken down. Everyone is all gritty and serious unless you don't want to be. A group of survivors that you play as have to survive in this post apocalyptic area in Longview, Texas. Survive or don't survive.

Rules that you must abide by:
Don't godmod (duh)
Don't be stupid
Avoid one liners
Have fun
Google maps will be used to determine what you see
You begin at a cleared out Taco Bell

[Servinta]

CHARACTER: Mick Taylor

AGE: 56

SKILLS: He was a chef in a roadside dinner and he gained experience on how to make a somewhat palatable meal from somewhat less palatable resources.Attributed to his experiences he's good hunter and has skinned, defeathered, and cooked his share of game in the field, stemming from his enjoyment of hunting is a good handling of shotguns as he's used them for almost every hunting season.His current employment at a lumber mill and life in the backwoods area near the mill has given him a fondness for woodcutting, along with an even greater fondness in using that wood for brewing his own moonshine.

PERSONALITY: A hard worker who generally wants to be left alone to his labor but due to his past experiences with the bad side of humanity he has become a man who is abrasive, bigoted, and blaming of everyone else for his mistakes.

WEAPONRY: A used Browning Auto-5 with two boxes of 12 gauge shotshells, and a trusty woodcutting ax.

BIOGRAPHY:Born in Larose Louisiana, Mick was a man who grew up in the rich tastes of the bayou with a liking for Crawdads and the various dishes that could be made out of the little crustacean.That love of food gave him less if a desire to attend school and after several dozen days of missing attendance in his small town school to go out into the swamps to collect his crab traps and generally goof off with his compatriots he dropped out from high school to pursue his passion for catching and cooking meals.After a few years of his life going nowhere and his job at a roadside dinner going about the same place, he decided to try his luck in "The Big Easy" of New Orleans.On the drop of a hat he the proceeded selling of all his worldly possessions (Which wasn't much) to fund his new life in the city, he arrived with healthy optimism that his years spent behind the fryer would trump the years he missed in school and land him a good job.Those hopes were dashed as he was swallowed by the overwhelming hue of the south's jewel port city and soon he found that his skills in cooking roadkill and swamp creatures was no match for the fancy dishes that others could present, and after falling into debt to several unsavory characters in an effort to keep his dream alive he realized that his time and hope was coming to an end.Broke and angry with his life he abandoned the city and fled from his back ally creditors to Texas where he worked odd jobs from rig hand to his current profession as a lumber worker outside of Longveiw.

This was until the outbreak occurred, and even when he had first heard about the sudden "Rise of the dead" he was cynical and doubting that such a crazy thing could occur.His isolation outside of town and general lack of friends due to his abrasive attitude was enough to further steel him aginst the supposedly preposterous idea of walking dead and so called zombies.The only zombies he had seen was in his youth when he had seen a group of Voodoo practitioners hopped up on drugs, this was the sarcastic response he gave whenever he heard someone at work or the occasional trips to town talk about zombies.He was soon to be proven to wrong as he was cornered in a Taco Bell by the same zombies he had ridiculed as a hoax or a media hype.

EDIT:Just for note this is my old character from the original RP thread.

EDIT:Just for note this is my old character from the original RP thread.

I never liked personality being set it the app because, what if you don't feel like having him act that way? Also, you need the age here.

[Servinta]

Added the age and I feel I can work with this char.

[Independent States of Tula]

CHARACTER: Rhett Jones

Age: 60

SKILLS: Good at Hunting, Tracking, Cleaning and operating firearms. However he's got a limp which makes him a bit slow, and is only good with knifes as melee weapons.

WEAPONRY: M21 Sniper Weapon System Rhett smuggled back after his tours in Vietnam (only 40 rounds left [2 magazines]), M1911 also smuggled back from Rhett's tours in Vietnam (14 rounds left [2 magazines]), and a sharp Bowie Knife

VEHICLE: Ford F-150

BIOGRAPHY: Rhett Jones is a native Texan who served in the Vietnam War as a US Army sniper, although he doesn't talk too much about that War. Rhett came back bitter and angry, he was spit on and called a baby killer by an ungrateful populace, and he couldn't find a job due to bias against veterans. Finally though Rhett came to Longview and found a gun store owner who had sympathy for him due to his son having died in the conflict Rhett was coming back from, as such Rhett worked hard and made a good paycheck, eventually though the owner died and gave the store to Rhett as he had no family left. Rhett decided to do his best and he ran the store well until one day the dead started eating the living alive and people started to panic, the gun store Rhett worked at was broken into and robbed despite Rhett's attempts to secure his livelihood. Soon though the dead started coming after the noise and commotion at the gun shop and the whole thing turned into a slaughter, Rhett barely escaped before finding sanctuary with a few other survivors at a local Taco Bell after driving a short distance with his F-150 truck.

OOC: Here's my app, also did it have to be a Taco Bell? Those aren't really defendable, I liked the car shop a lot better personally.

Taco Bell. I can find it easier on Google maps.

[Servinta]

Good point.

[New Abrahammia]

Name: Abraham Weston
Age: 67
SKILLS: Good at making weaponry, such as bows, crossbows, knives, etc. He can also make impromptu shelter and fire. Abraham is rather old, so he has less than warrior physique. He also has aim with firearms similar to that of octodad.
WEAPONRY: bow and arrow, chef knife
VEHICLE: moped with no fuel
BIOGRAPHY: Abraham was born in a log cabin in the middle of a forest in Texas. His parents encouraged him to go hunting at an early age, and he enjoyed it until he shot a doe. He felt awful for how he made her fawns feel, so he swore off killing animals and hasn't touched a gun for close to 60 years. Abraham did not hunt after that day. Until his parents died in a tragic incident involving bears. Abraham was holding a firearm during this incident, but could not save them, as he was bounded by the anti-animal-killing oath he swore. After that day, Abraham renounced that oath and would now only not use guns. Abraham, being young and without guidance, got lost in the woods very often. He taught himself to make bows and knives and campfires in fast, efficient ways. He constantly got nightmares about not saving his parents and moved to Longview to escape this, where he got a job as a chef. During the outbreak, Abraham drove into the forest on his moped with the bow he made as a kid and a chef's knife. There, the nightmares came back. Soon after, Abraham drove back to Longview and went to Hutch's, hoping they'd have fuel for his moped that recently ran out.

Yes, but the other forum will have an IC in which faffing about is not allowed. Besides, you saw how many people he wanted before the ic can start?

Noted that the number was unreasonable for a small RP like this, but I just wanted to inform you of that issue.

Um, he'd be 48 if he was born in 1966, not 28.

Yeah, I overlooked that part. I'll be honest, I don't read the bios. I only have that as part of the app so your apps didn't go to waste.
