The Dead Have Arisen (OOC/ MT/ Apoc)

[Chronodosia]

"The Current Year is 2025. It has been five years since the virus came, five years since the dead arose from their graves.

March 5th 2020, the day the world became aware of the Corpus Intelis Virus, or the Corpus Virus. The Corpus Intelis Virus was a Infectious disease and any bit of body fluid from a infected person can transfer the virus. Within hours of being infected people started dying or dropping dead then rising up and attacking anyone nearby, infecting people quickly. The Corpus Infection started in China and quickly overran the country. Within days infected people had managed to escape the country via airlines because there was no way to check for the presence of the virus with everyone panicking. By March 20th 2020 over half the worlds population was infected. By April 5th 2020 twenty cities worldwide were fortified and walled of by the governments. In the abandoned cities people that couldn't make it to a safe haven tried to survive. Some failed. Some didn't. If you are hearing this message you either live in one of the Haven Communities or are a Survivor out in the Badlands of the world. If you don't know how to kill the infected, either destroy the brain or cut off the head.

Either way do your best to stay alive, the world needs you.

Korr Trerryrt, Signing off for now."


Hello and welcome to The Dead Have Arisen a Modern Tech, Modern Setting Zombie Apocalypses RP. You are a Survivor of the Corpus Intelis Virus infection that destroyed the world. Your job is to survive although if you enter a Haven Community you better observe the laws there. If you break the Laws of a Haven, depending on the government of the Haven, you will generally get a trial if caught. Punishment depends on the crime. Theft will get you thrown in prison for a while, Assault of any form will get you exiled and declared Persona non grata from the Haven, while R@pe and murder will get your survivor executed and the body cremated. The most prominent Havens are New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington D.C., Dallas, Ottawa, London, Manchester, Leeds, Dublin, Nantes, Lyon, Berlin, Tokyo, and Beijing.

1) OP’s (Chronodosia's) word is law.
2) Each person is allowed to control one Survivor, one Survivor band/Community, or one Bandit Group.
3) Roleplay fairly and with reason. If whatever you’re planning affects another person’s character, get the person’s permission or consent if necessary.
4) Also, while radioactive zombies are possible (zombies carrying radioactive particles due to nuclear meltdowns), keep in mind that
this is a zombie roleplay rather than a nuclear zombie roleplay.
5) When in doubt, ask the OP.
6) OP is the GM and will have one character.
7) Don't take this way too seriously. Have a bit of fun!

Survivor Bands can be up to 10 survivors, Communities start at 10 and can work up to 100, Bandit Groups can have a Maximum of 25

I will have one Character/Survivor and if I know something as the GM but my character couldn't possibly know, then he WON'T know.

Here is my App and a sample for people to work off of:

Character Application[/align]
Character Name: Korr Trerryrt
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Appearance: Korr Trerryrt is 5'8" tall, 200lbs, White with brown hair and Blue eyes. He has a small scare below his left eye and a wary look on his face.
Equipment: Combat Knife, Multitool, Surplus MOLLE II FLC Vest, Assault Pack, MK 24 with 4 Magazines of .45 ACP and a Box of rounds, a Scavenged SIG Sauer MCX Rifle with 6 Magazines and 2 boxes of rounds, Sleeping bag, change of clothes, canteen of water, and some wrapped beef jerky.
Personality: Korr is extremely wary of other people but if you manage to impress him and earn his loyalty he is one of the most loyal people alive. Until he relaxed around someone he is very standoffish and cold though not cruel.
Background: Korr is a former member of the United States Army. He joined up right out of high school and retired from the army after his four year contract was up. He retired barely a month before the outbreak and had headed out of the city to a small cabin he had up in the mountains. Two days before the virus hit the US he completed a supply run for a months worth of food and essentials. When he emerged from his cabin to investigate some weird noises he heard in the night, he was attacked by the dead form of his closest neighbor. He managed to escape from the fight unharmed after using his trusty combat knife to perforate the processing center of the dead body. From there he has done his best to survive in the Badlands of the world.
Notes: Korr Trerryrt is a expert Marksman with both a rifle and a pistol owed to his four years of military service and two tours in the middle east before the infection. He is also a good survivalist having grown up in the woods and mountains of upstate New York.

Character Application[/align]
Character Name: James Ulsterman
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Appearance:
Equipment: x1 HK G36C assault rifle with 4 clips. x1 M&P M2.0 (.45 automatic) with 2 clips, x1 nightstick, biker jacket, gloves, boots, and stahlhelm style helmet (as shown in image), also has Riot Squad body armor and weaponry he looted from the prison.
Personality: Ulsterman is a very driven man, and is devoted to his men. While he does this by attacking and robbing, and on occasion killing, others, he feels it is for the good of his people. He tends to try and negotiate for goods from people he finds, but is more than willing to kill those who resist or otherwise pose a problem.
Background: Born in New York City, James grew up in a tough part of the city, soaked in mafia and gang activity. His father even was a member of a local gang, and by the rules James was a member. James grew up tough and worked as an enforcer for the local gang, beating in ribcages and kneecaps of those who crossed the wrong people. When James was 23, he got nabbed up by police after a hit went wrong, and was convicted of attempted murder, being sent to prison for a 10 year sentence. James linked up with inside gang members and quickly earned himself protection and reputation within the prison. In prison he honed his leadership, functionally leading the group of inmates from his gang. When the virus hit the US, the prison was a superspreader event, and the dead began to attack the prison. James and his group were able to fight their way out of the prison, looting the bodies of dead prison guards for armor and weapons. James found the city in chaos, and lead his group out of the city and into the woods of Buffalo, where they occasionally extort the local survivor community in exchange for the Bloodhead's protection.
Notes: Leads the "Bloodheads" a group of 15 bandits near Buffalo, New York.

How many Bandits in the group?

Let's say 15. Variety of gear. I'll add it to the notes section

[Mercatus]

Character Application
Character Name: Kyle Hunter
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Appearance: Kyle stands at 6’3” with an athletic frame. He has fair skin and medium-length red hair. His eyes are always covered by a pair of rectangular frame rimless sunglasses, worn in conjunction with a backwards tactical baseball cap with a Hi-Point Firearms patch sewn on. His clothes consist of a white Adidas shirt, sniper grey combat cargo pants with aftermarket suspenders added, black steel-toe combat boots, and multicam fingerless M-PACT gloves. All of his clothing except his headwear shows at least some blood staining, some of it his own, more of it from others, and some from zombies.
Equipment: Kyle has 3 firearms on his person at all times, consisting of a Hi-Point 995 carbine in 9mm with the original style of stock and chrome receiver, an Intratec AB-10 9mm pistol, which was the last variant of the TEC-9 produced by the company, and a sawed-off Remington 870 Express in 12 gauge with skateboard grip tape added on. He carries the carbine and the pistol on slings, and the shotgun in a shoulder rig holster. Kyle uses 20 round magazines made by Redball Sports for the Hi-Point carbine, of which he has 13. 12 are carried in a surplus Sten SMG mag pouch/chest rig, and one in the weapon. He also has 13 32-round magazines for the AB-10, 12 of which are carried in flecktarn Uzi mag pouches worn on his belt and one in the weapon. Spare shotgun shells are carried in 2 35-round bandoliers worn crossed on the chest and another 25 shells carried on the shoulder rig used to holster his shotgun. Another 40 shells are carried in the pockets on his pants. As for melee weapons, Kyle carries a slightly rusted but still sharp machete in a back-mounted sheath so it doesn’t interfere with his other weapons. On-person sustenance and hydration consist of packages of jerky, dried fruit, and high-calorie ration bars carried in his cargo pants and a large flask of water that clips to his belt. He also carries a few fire starters, a lighter, a rangefinder, and a sharpening tool.
Personality: Kyle Hunter is eternally angry at the world for the death of his pet dog, who he lost to a pack of ravenous zombies as the group Kyle was with as the group sacrificed his dog to them to get out of a sticky situation. After hearing of this, Kyle went into a rage and massacred the entire group, who were only lightly armed, with few others possessing a fraction of firepower he did. He views the massacre today with regret, as the weight of the amount of lives he took seems to constantly bear on him. This has caused Kyle to become somewhat depressed, and he wonders if he should have reacted differently. However, despite viewing the murders with regret in in his soul, he is more than willing to kill to get what he wants. Having been desensitized to such violent acts, he doesn’t value human life the way he used to. He is something of a loner, only interacting with people generally when he needs something. Someone like Kyle would be someone that bands of bandits and raiders would love to recruit into their ranks. However, Kyle has huge trust issues, and generally will refuse to trust anyone with anything until they’ve gotten to know him very well and have proven that they will not backstab him. Such people to have done so are very rare, but they do indeed exist.
Background: Kyle Hunter was just 13 and in the 8th grade when the virus hit central Florida. His parents became infected while away from home on a grocery run, as the zombie horde was hammering areas near his neighborhood hard, and the hordes were closing in around his community. When his family didn’t return for nearly 2 days, he knew it was just him and the family Rottweiler named T-Bone. He gathered as many supplies as he could carry in his school backpack and took whatever he could carry from his dad’s gun safe before grouping up with a group of survivors that consisted of people who went to his school and some of their parents. As they moved away from the danger zones, they were ambushed by a rather large group of zombies, and in the chaos, his fellow survivors pushed Kyle’s dog to the back, feeding him to the zombies so they could get away. Kyle didn’t know of this at first, but when the group was sure that they had put a safe distance between them and the zombies, Kyle couldn’t find his beloved T-Bone anywhere. A few people explained to him that he was a necessary sacrifice if they were to live. This sent Kyle into an uncontrollable rage, and he turned his guns on the group, almost none of whom had weapons of which to speak. In his rampage, he made sure to murder everyone in that group to make them pay for killing his dog. He did achieve his goal, and after the massacre he fled on his own, looting the bodies for anything useful. Throughout the next 5 years, he sought to repair the psychological wounds left by the loss of T-Bone and the immense burden his murder spree left on him. He mainly sought solitude, and became a nomad. He set up a crude but functional shelter near New York City, where plenty of supplies were still available from those coming in and out of the city. Now, with no real end goal in mind, he ponders the idea of joining a raider band both for the camaraderie and furthering his own ego and wealth.
Notes: Kyle is a very skilled shooter, and his tendency to move around while making much less noise than most makes him all the more deadly. He is no high-speed operator or SEAL sniper, but he can get the job done. He has very violent tendencies when it comes to lone wanderers or small groups, often attacking without provocation, however, he is smart enough to not mount attacks on heavily armed or armored targets. Kyle is very self-reliant and can survive on his own in the wilderness for a long time, only occasionally making supply runs for items like ammunition or food. He absolutely despises people from Haven cities, and he will carefully track down and pick off citizens who exit the walls of such cities.
