The Walking Dead: Out of the Shadows
OP: Convallaria
Co-OP's: The Hoosier Alliance
Co-OP's: The Hoosier Alliance
When a mysterious and unknown pathogen begins spreading throughout the United States, a deadly domino effect is set in motion that will soon wipe out most of humanity within a few months. In suburban Los Angeles, the concerns of a global catastrophe are not yet realized, and for the general public, it is business as usual while the airborne virus slowly infects its subjects. But in the midst of a string of highly unusual series of deaths and occurrences on the west coast, it seems that there may be something far worse happening than what the news has simply been describing as a bad 'flu' season. As the CDC begins to realize the extent of the epidemic, it lies on shoulders of those who are willing and most perceiving, in order to survive what is yet to come. But how long can this eerie tranquility last before natural deaths turn into reanimation? How long until the hospitals can no longer manage their dead? How long until the CDC runs out of options? Suddenly, life as everyone knows it is brought to an end. And as the chaos eventually ensues, bewildered survivors must band together in factions to survive the dead and manage dwindling resources, leaving the survivors struggling between saving civilization and saving their own lives. And for those who make it past the first few weeks, it isn't only the dead that they must worry about...
Welcome to the Roleplay!
Hello and welcome to The Walking Dead: Out of the Shadows. This RP takes place shortly after the globalization of the fictional virus featured in the televised Walking Dead universe. It will attempt to establish new characters and events not featured in the show, and it will be a collective story tailored by the decisions and interactions of the characters involved. We will start in the Los Angeles Suburb of Pasadena just as news coverage of a man that had reportedly 'assaulted his Family and devoured a neighborhood cat' reaches the internet. Each member could be from any background (Politician, business, teacher, military etc.), but will eventually join together (location TBA) with the same goal in mind: to leave the city and form a settlement.
Rules
1. I am OP. So what I say goes; nevertheless, I'm not spiteful and will gladly hear out your complaints, so just let me know!
2. For goodness sakes, just listen to the Co-OP's. In a nutshell, they're extensions of myself.
3. Punishments (God forbid) will be on a situational basis. Nobody likes a slap on the wrist, so please behave.
4. As for characters, I would limit them to no more than a few, for quality purposes.
5. Important NPC's will be controlled by yours truly, unless I give express approval for others to introduce them.
6. No godmodding, no metagaming, no spam, and it goes without saying, but be mindful and use basic RP etiquette.
7. No one liners, unless your character is in a conversation. Otherwise, try and keep each post one a short paragraph at least, just like we're in grades school.
8. Rules are always subject to update as needed.
9. This whole thing is subject to change as well, though I will notify everyone if that happens.
