The Walking Dead - OOC/OPEN (Survival-Horror RP)

[Benuty]

Ouch.

What did you except from the person who sometimes displays the traits that go along with the disorder psychopaths and sociopaths have?
Like think about it, if you were an old man in a zombie apocalypse, would you want help from the urban legend that helps people get some peace as they die? Talk about an omen.
At least he doesn't hate Nelson, fines him interesting, probably would want to keep him around for his interesting perspective on life at the very least.
Not to mention Nelson will never know about the little though Abe had in his head just then, and like Abe doesn't necessarily think that's a bad greatest achievement.

Nelson has empathy its just a very disturbed form of it given all he has been through so I wouldn't necessarily call him a sociopath/psychopath (that is a whole other bag of issues). As for why I posted it here I got a laugh out of it when I read it.

Oh, I figured that at first... and then I panicked,
And I wasn't saying Nelson had ASPD/Antisocial Behaviors, I was referring to my character by hey, the more you know. But, like having a messed up form of empathy makes perfect sense to me given all the shit he's gone through.

[Kentucky Fried Land]

Name: john matthews

Howdy. In the app's current state, I can't accept it. First of all is that there's a lack of capitalization throughout the app and grammar isn't normally a huge issue but that's a bit iffy for me. He's also 14 years old, yet he weighs 200 pounds and he's six foot? He's basically a full grown man at that level. Also, how is he shy and he tends to keep to himself yet he is on the freshman football team? He gets anxiety about people knowing him yet he plays a sport in which he'll be forced to perform in front of large groups of people and he enjoys that? A spiked baseball bat is also way too much, could probably just stand with a regular baseball bat. A spiked one is overkill for the first two weeks and it's overkill for a 14 year old boy. His bio could use a bit more meat on its bones and the weaknesses are way too trivial. He needs something that will be more damaging to him than being "shy" and "liking to be by himself."

Born and raised in Chicago, Kim Hee-soon was a Korean-American who was left as a baby in front of a Christian-run orphanage.

In elementary school she joined an archery club and showed competence in it, which was furthered when she went to the senior high school where she entered state and national competitions. Her career as an Olympic medalist was established during 2008 until 2016 Olympic, though it was only from 2012 and 2016 that she got medals, and it's Silver and Bronze.

However, the life of hers turned into controversies. Her devoutness that borderlines toward fanaticism, which wasn't good for her career and sponsorship contracts. So when she was 29, she retreated to Alaska where she spent her time in hunting, teaching archery, and basically doing job as an archery ambassador. On the day when Outbreak hit Chicago, she returned to the city in order to rethinking about a marriage possibility and returning to her previous academics which she neglected

[Unified Republic of America]

Name: Sam Pipua
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Occupation: Epidemiologist
Appearance: Sam has short, straight, black hair, in a crew cut-style haircut, his eyes are blue, his skin is pale and he is 6’3 feet tall in height and has average weight for his height. After fleeing from the mess of the last medical facility that was trying to find a vaccine which was then overrun shortly after, he has a HAZMAT suit (Level C as he was working on a corpse when the klaxons sounded) and escaped in a military HUMVEE by escaping the building through the emergency stairwell and exit. Though, there are military fatigues in the backseat so he can change into later after he can find a safe place to change into them.

Personal Belongings: - His dufflebag, a Sig Sauer P226 pistol with 2 magazines and a baton he grabbed off a dead security guard, and his journal, containing his research into the disease that caused the outbreak.

- P226 pistol, chambered in .40 S&W

- Five cans of food and a canteen filled with water

-a wallet containing his driver’s license, US passport, high-level government-issued identification card, $100 in USD, credit card, some assorted coins

-Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Smartphone with earbuds

- A rugged lighter

- A journal

- a baton

- gas mask from the overrun medical facility

- First aid kit

- Walkie-talkie

- Flashlight

Personality: Sam tends to keep to himself, working silently and trying to stay out of people’s way as much as he can, though if need to be, he can work with others. He is passionate in his pursuit of knowledge, a trait he obtained over the years of studying various epidemics and viruses and the threat they could pose to human society. Logic and caution dictates his actions often, observing a group of survivors before making contact. This tends to make him look “odd” or “creepy” to most people, as his studying and observation tends to unnerve people. He’s a no-nonsense guy, often being honest and straight in his judgments. He has a perfectionist attitude to his work, resulting in him spending unusual amounts of time on working on something, trying to achieve the best result. Though, he does still have empathy for people out of his seemingly work-focused personality, often caring for people in need and for friends.

Being a pragmatist, he prefers mercy for punishments but doesn’t allow his emotions to take over, giving the appropriate punishment for specific crimes, whether it’d be banishment or to execution.

Sam is indecisive because rather than quickly making decisions, he prefers to mull things over, trying to fill in the blanks, be as objective as possible and compare and contrast information. He tends to blame himself when his work doesn’t represent the best of what he could’ve done, beating himself up for it. He also doesn’t like slackers, another trait learned from working at medical institutions.

Biography (two good paragraphs at least): Sam Pipua was a former epidemiologist for the C.D.C. (at least his final workplace). He was dedicated to his profession and took his projects seriously and with dedication, drawing some mockery and jealousy from his colleagues whom were secretly impressed by his work ethic. He was among the first to be assigned to the investigation into rumors of a rabies-like virus in the U.S. as he was known by many others in his field of work for getting results. Having virtually no social or romantic life outside of his work, he had no qualms of traveling across the U.S. to work on the cases. He was born and raised in the District of Columbia in Washington D.C, came from a upper-middle class Chinese-American family, and studied his degree at John Hopkins where from then on, worked for several medical institutions in the U.S and sometimes even abroad if he got lucky such as in China, Japan, or down south in Mexico but eventually, he settled down with the Center of Disease Control.

Unfortunately, even with his hard work into investigating into this strange, new virus that was spreading rapidly and being increasingly reported in more and more places, he and his fellow colleagues were unable to devise a vaccine in time before the outbreak caused mass panic in many cities worldwide, signficantly hampering progress. Furthermore, they were stuck in Wilmington, North Carolina, one of the areas that was being overrun. As a result, they were beginnings to evacuate until suddenly several hordes of infected broke into the research facility and overran it, leaving only Sam one of the only survivors who made it out alive. Now, after hearing a broadcast to evacuate at some high school from his radio in his truck, he begins to head towards it as what else could he do?

Strengths:
-Highly intelligent: Able to identify pathogens and diseases others may not be aware of and is resourceful;
-Has basic first-aid training from working in the medical profession
-High perception; If he missed something, chances are he’d be fired from the CDC years ago before the outbreak started
-Knows both English, Mandarin, Japanese and a bit of Spanish
Weaknesses:
-Slightly clumsy: Being 6’4 tends to make him bump into things a bit often
-Not experienced in firearms: Even though he has a pistol (albeit stolen), he doesn’t really know how to handle one, only knowing how to shoot one from action movies
-Anti-social behavior: an unfortunate result of his unbalanced work-life lifestyle, he tends to keep to himself and is a bit awkward in conversations
Miscellaneous: Is currently a Level C-class HAZMAT suit along with a gas mask

Worst Fears:
-Being unable to find the cause of the virus or a vaccine or losing his journal with his work inside
-One of his friends dying to a circumstance he could’ve prevented or saved them from

It's a possibility, but I'll give them some time before I do anything drastic. I should still have a post up today though.

Nice. I should be expanding a little on Jiro and Theo's backstories through conversation between the two.

Posted, and for my next few posts, I intend on giving some more background to the hospital massacre. This is kind of the reason Nelson states the blunt question in the last paragraph given what he saw at the hospital was surely replicated all across the city.

It's not like I could know that. I marked people who hadn't posted in a week or had not spoken in the OOC/Discord or posted in the IC. An inactive marking doesn't mean you're marked for death, it just means I'd like a check in from the players.
