Personal survival is not a good enough reason?

As far as Joseph is concerned he uses a risk factor before he just rushes in to rescue someone, at the very least he will put a bullet in someone's head as long as the firearm report doesn't put him in danger otherwise yeah........ That's just how he is

Personal survival can make sense. Running people over just because doesn't really :P

Theo didn't do it just because, it was a mix of personal survival and getting out of a city during a zombie apocalypse. To be fair, I didn't put anything in his app showing he was mentally stable or not, in retrospect, probably should have. If you want I can just telegram you his mental status.

That would probably be good, because knowing that would probably have an effect on whether or not he's accepted. I'm pretty sure running people over probably wasn't very useful toward personal survival, and the way I see it, if we end up having too many characters that just don't care, then there will be no possibility for morally hard plot lines or anything like that.

Should I take that as just take out the word living at the end of the post and plan to make him more empathic?

If that's how you choose to go about it. I just feel like having too many uncaring people this early could get problematic :P

Of course, I feel kinda bad saying this when my character literally cannot feel empathy or any such emotion. But that's why I keep saying 'too many'

Naw, it's fine if I have too.

I am wondering though, is it ok if I make him act empathic when he's near people most of the time, but it reality he's can't feel empathy correctly?

It's just that I kind of planned for his sister and him to be opposites emotion wise. Him being somewhat of a Twisted Person (Somewhat Weak Emotions, Not much Empathy, Impulsive, Weird Morals) and she being very motherly to all people.
He still has morals both ways, it's just one way, they're mostly normal morals and the other, they're somewhat twisted morals.

Hm. I would say it's OK, as long as he's not too just... cold and uncaring about everything.

No worries :P I think part of my reluctance comes from trying to keep my own character more unique, but also due to not wanting people to just not care about things :P

I can understand that, in fact, I kind of gathered the first part of your statement early on in the OOC. The second part you openly stated that serval times so I didn't need to gather that. :)
Anyways, I'm gonna get some sleep now, it's 11 where I live. Night.

I kinda realized when I was typing the second part that I'd already said that, but also wanted to make sure it didn't look like I'd changed what I meant.

Goodnight!

Is it ok, that I had the military evacuate him and the city council to the safe zone? Or should I get rid of that part? They will probably be separated at the safe zone.

Oh yeah, your characters a politician, right? I could actually see him getting special treatment in this regard. Because I figure the military probably had more insight on this going to unfold and could prepare to jump the "important people" to the safe zone before they even have it prepared or announced for everyone else.

But I'll let Terintania put in their input, too.

There isn't even a safe zone fully set up yet, but I could imagine them taking him in to a convoy to keep him safe or something.

Yes, he is a politician.

Ok, so would you say, given what you said, that keeping in the part about the military, is ok then?

The military part seems fine, I'm mostly confused by how normal everything was. Like, some of the politicians and whatnot people in the office would have turned, too, causing chaos from that.

I thought this was starting before the major outbreak? So one had to be bit, or get sick, and of one was sick they would've stayed home from work.
