I found it, but which part of Salida are my troops gonna be positioned? Do the walls cover the entire perimeter shown on the map or do they just surround a small portion of Salida? Also, the 10 men under my character's command are not a faction because the creation of a faction requires 3 things: a name, a banner, and uniforms. The fact that they have none of those things means they are not a faction, especially since I don't single handedly control them.

A large group without a name is still a 'faction'.

It's not really the 'faction' part itself, it's having an overpowered number of people.

I don't singlehandedly control the 10 NPCs in my character's group, so it is not a faction. Also, you didn't answer either of my questions.

Alright, I'm putting my foot down on this.

Flarb, you have a small faction without OP permission. We are not redefining factions for your convenience. You did not receive permission for this faction, nor was it mentioned in the application. It's simply not tenable to put in an app for an individual, then suddenly add an additional 9 individuals. As such, without the express permission of the OP, myself, or the other Co-Ops, your additional soldiers are considered non-canonical to the ongoing story.

Additionally, your behavior on the OOC has been less than stellar lately. I'll ask that you please remain reasonable. We do not currently have any maps of the town of Salida, nor are they of any particular importance at the moment. The success or failure of the Vulture siege is still to be determined, but the larger concern is how it will effect the relations between characters, as well as the larger state of affairs.

That's the end of it. I'd prefer to not have to pursue this issue further.

Grestin already made the decree so I will keep this short.

1) Our definition of faction and you definition of faction are different. Okay. No problem. However, OP definition trumps everything else. No questions. Now, while you may have misunderstood the snark of my previous comment when discussing factions, I am willing to overlook this infraction as I did once before, both with the same condition that most if not all die if only to fulfill their redshirt destiny. As it is you people count as a faction, or close enough to be considered one.

2) I am a busy person. Most of us are. If you need something then feel free to ask, but do not make demands as if you are the sole person in charge. It's rude and you are the new kid on the bloc. Have some humility.

3) This is not a medieval RP. As stated before, while we keep things as grounded as possible this entire story is fiction and not 100% realistic. As this is how it has been from the start we are not likely to change to accommodate new players. As the new person it is up to you to assimilate, not the other way around.

4) I'm willing to overlook your posts from a grammatical standpoint as not everyone is a published author right off the bat. Still, attempt to improve yourself.

5) We fool around a lot OOC. Even if the jokes aren't to your humor there is no need to again be rude.

Consider this a warning. If you do not like how things are handled here you are free to leave.

Sarejo, we made the jump to morning.

That's all right. The Outbreak series has certainly been unique in style. It may be a little hard for some to get used to.
I want to improve.

So, I got bored last night and made a lineup of my characters using Innawoods and some other stuff. I think it turned out nicely, but it'd work better if Innawoods had female characters. Still, here it is.

Nation Name: Derelldia
Birthplace: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Ethnicity: Irish
Age: 34
Pic/Description: Standing at around 6"3 tall, this slimly built man covers himself head-toe in clothing. Wearing a faded-brown trench coat and a grey hooded jumper underneath it, with denim jeans that have numerous patches on them as they've been worn through over years. Knee high leather boots that look faded and almost worn through as well. Plus dark grey fingerless gloves showing almost the only bit of skin on the man. He also has a green and white mask on which covers his face, and goggles brought down to cover his eyes. The grey hair he has sometimes shows from under the hood due to it being seemingly uncut for who knows how long.

Occupation: Wanderer

Immunity: None

(OPTIONAL)
Personality:
Skills:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Fears:

Bio: Justin was born not in the US, though he moved to America due to his family moving away for certain reasons he doesn't know. He didn't mind moving, he almost always wanted to live in America because it just seemed nicer. He wasn't wrong about it being nicer, but it was also an almost major culture shock to him when he was there. But that didn't last for very long, he had moved not to far from Denver whenever the bio attacks happened. Unluckily for him his father was in Denver at the time of the attacks, so it was pretty much assumed by him and his mother that he had perished. Justin and his mother fled, staying at different places and surviving off whatever they can, they head to one of the safe havens to try and survive.

After surviving at the safe havens for a few years, despite endless attacks from bandits and infected over many years, Justin lives and trains himself in all sorts of ways to survive. His mother had committed suicide after a few years in the safe haven, she never truly stopped grieving for her husband and eventually it consumed her. This, in turn, led Justin to run away from everything. He fled from the safe haven after grabbing as much as he could, he never wanted to think about anything from after he left there.

Surviving until present day by being a nuisance to bandits and even to the Vulture, but never enough to get their full attention somehow, he made a name for himself... Locust. Setting up camp just outside of Denver, he mostly scavenges the outskirts of the city and does the occasional raid on anything passing nearby.

RP Examples: None recently (sadly)


Just gonna go and set this here incase it got overlooked due to the heat of the night I posted.

Sorry, forgot about the app. Grammar could use some work but none of us started off perfect. ACCEPTED. Familiarize yourself with the goings on and feel free to ask questions.

About that, with the recent decision by OP to limit you to just your guy and all can you update your posts so its just him? I just don't want your older posts confusing future readers is all.
