The Last of Us: Exodus (Horror Drama) OOC/OPEN

[The V O I D]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Dave's just gone into a panic attack thanks to hallucinating and forgetting what's real and what's not, again. He's also panic attacking due to overt paranoia and too many people.

Let's see how people handle this.

Mini-edit: someone should temp-RP as an NPC who was one of the people who helped raise Dave the Orphan throughout the past years, and knows about his... mental issues and such.

I can do that.

I can also act as a co-op due to the fact that I am active everyday.

Your choice if the NPC is an old lady or old man who was a motherly/fatherly figure to Dave at some point in his life until he moved on to the next set of people who were willing to take him in.

Post up. Good luck don't die.

Post thrown up.

[Damverland]

First post up!

By the way, if anyone wants to have prior knowledge of my character - having met him or something, feel free. I imagine many would've given his rank and his choice of spot for doing paper work in the town hall.

Uhhh, you posted as the wrong person.

Hey, uh...your information is slightly outdated due to more recent posts.

Co-Oping sounds good. Like I told Amerigo, you guys will probably just advance the story and provide input on character apps. I'm gonna let you handle story advancements primarily, and I'll just ask you guys to have your characters do something to get the story moving.

Post coming soon. I'm going to try and give everyone something to do.

To Damverland, I'd suggest editing your post as going to a different desk than the Staff Sergeant's, is all. No need to change much.

[The United States of North Amerigo]

This should be good.

[Kentucky Fried Land]

Finished, finally. I'll let you guys pick which group you'd like to move with, then get another post ready up. Hopefully that can happen tonight, but tomorrow will still be fine.

Anna's gonna go help secure the area, Viktoriya will help escort people.

I did NOT expect that. Well done OP.

Wait a moment before you post. Vedenin's following you.

Er... I kinda need to post for there to be any action for him to follow.

Any suggestions for what I could do?

Alrighty then.

Start scouring the area for hunters or fleeing civilians. I wouldn't leave the town hall, however. I'd also wait to find any hunters until I get a post up, in which they will most likely return.

[Futrellia]

Name: Dustin Cole
Age: 26
Faction : Fireflies
Sex: Male
Appearance: Dustin stands at 5'11, weighing in at 220 pounds, he bears a muscular body, black hair and a thin black beard.
Equipment/Personal Belongings: 1911 Pistol (two clips), Backpack, worn leather long wallet bearing a star, King James Version Bible, Droid Turbo Cellphone (drained battery), bowie knife, Gas Mask
Personality: Tends to stay quiet, prefers to do logistical work instead of actually firing on other people.
Bio: Dustin was born on November 7, 2011 to Cash and Julianna Cole in Marshall, Texas. His father was a Captain in the Harrison County Sheriff's Department and his mother worked as a nurse in a local hospital. Dustin was 2 years old when the outbreak slowly began to spread to the small East Texas city. Using his influence and pull with the Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, Dustin and his mother were the first to be evacuated in Marshall using a Good Shepherd Medical Center helicopter and transported to Barksdale Air Force Base. Captain Cash Cole had to stay behind and assist with keeping the infection under control, setting up quarantine areas in Marshall High School, and assisting in keeping the helipad at GSMC safe for evacuation. He was never heard or seen from again. Dustin's life at the Air Force base was quite turbulent. His mother was pulled for mandatory civil service and placed in an emergency hospital within the Base, leaving Dustin alone most nights in the emergency tents with the other people who agreed to care for him while she was gone. The infection spread like wildfire starting in Dallas, moving to Marshall, Longview, Tyler, eventually eating up the entire East Texas area and eventually to Shreveport/Bossier City, causing Barksdale Air Force Base to begin evacuation procedures. They weren't as lucky this time. Infected broke through Military checkpoints and blockades, breaching the Base and causing the once organized and calm operation to implode, scattering Military and civilians across the area. Dustin and his mother managed to get to a National Guard helicopter and boarded, watching below as fires raged across the Base, watching as those civilians left behind shrieked and ran, soldiers standing their grounds, still determined to win back Barksdale, infected swarming in huge groups, moving from place to place, attracted by the sounds of gunfire and occasional explosions. Over the course of the next year, Dustin and his mother traveled with the National Guard from Louisiana to Mississippi, to Georgia, and finally to South Carolina. There the National Guard soldiers were ambushed by Hunters, Dustin and his mother fleeing from the fighting. Nearly a day later, they were found by a local militia, named the Fireflies, which were apart of a larger organization. His mother fell in with the group, adorning the title of "Doc" with the Firefly members, patching up members that they would have deemed DA, or Dead Already. They settled down in Garden City, or below it, actually and eventually fell in love with a man, named Darius Cutler. Dustin hated the man, though, believing his mother betrayed his dad for the longest time. But eventually, as the years went on, as Dustin aged, he grew to like Darius.

As he grew older, the Fireflies taught him how to survive, how to shoot a gun, and other basic tactics when out on a supply run.
Strengths: Fast runner, steady aim, bulky, strong, extremely attached to his mother.
Weaknesses: Tends to come off as hostile unintentionally, very blunt.
*Living Family Members (include locations): Julianna Cole (mother, Garden City Firefly Settlement), Darius Whiting (Father-in-law, Garden City Settlement)
*Quirks: Sympathizes with smugglers, allowing many to escape during Military operations.
*Likes (stuff like foods, sports or hobbies): Enjoys Roman Empire literature, participates in regular football matches, talking with anyone who once lived in Texas, or even the deep South states. Loves his mother's vegetable beef stew.
*Dislikes (don’t say “zombies” or “Hunters.” No shit nobody likes them, try and think of something more personal): Working on long supply runs, smart mouths, and anybody attempting to kill his friends and loved ones.
*Worst Fears: Losing his mother and being alone.
*Miscellaneous (anything else you’d like to add):

Dustin ran with his mother to a helicopter and boarded, watching below as fires raged across the Base, watching as those left behind shrieked and ran, infected chasing them closely. Over the course of the next year, Dustin and his mother traveled from Louisiana to South Carolina, specifically, Murrell's Inlet, the location of a supposed safe zone set up by a collection of National Guard and Army units. They stopped their travels there, the Military placing them both in an abandoned apartment. Dustin went to school, and his mother continued her work as a Nurse Practitioner in the local hospital. When Dustin Cole turned 17, he was allowed to join the Military and begin his training, remembering vividly his father's service and making that his inspiration.

Sorry friend, I'm not accepting any more military characters. Civilians and Fireflies are all the factions I have left.

Now, it'd certainly be possible to convert your character to a Firefly with a few minor changes. Fireflies and Military forces are often very similar to each other.

AMERICA, OH YEAH!!!

[Futrellia]

Okay, i edited it. Is it okay?

[WaRtArIa]

Okay, i edited it. Is it okay?

I think it looks good. Just delete the things in parentheses and add the LOCATIONS of Dustin's living family members as well. Once you do that, I will accept you.

[Damverland]

I can do that.

I can also act as a co-op due to the fact that I am active everyday.

No problem.
