OUTBREAK (Survival, Reboot) - OOC / Hiatus

[Tayner]

Luke would probably have a small camp in a suburb and would regularly scavage in the city.

[Crockerland]

Will we be doing our own thing or will there be a set goal for all of the characters?

In the end you all can do whatever you want (within reason), but I will be throwing in goals or objectives that are entirely optional, however, by going out of your way you get some nice rewards. That said, there will be a few set piece moments that may affect everyone. I also ask that people stay in the area. If you head over to Boston or anywhere else then it gets harder to keep you involved with things.


EDIT: Roster has been tweaked. For those who missed out on the original the Roster is constantly updated to show current groups, typically by location. The only named group is Chestnut Grove as it's the only place I know a character will be at so far.

I was thinking of starting in Orland park, is that close enough to Chicago?

That would put you the furthest away out of everybody at roughly 20+ miles from Willis Tower. Why and how would you get to Chicago else you'd be on your own?

[Monarchy of Japanada]

GTG for tonight.

Hmm...

Thinking depending how the map ends up, might be profitable turning into a trader between player areas.

[New Finnish Republic]

Name: James Koski
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: Finnish-German
Age/DOB: 24
Pic/Description:

Occupation: Farmhand
Immunity: Partial

Equipment:
Dewalt MT16 Multi-Tool
Concealed S&W PC 929 9mm Revolver
9mm ammunition x18
Buck Knife


Skills: Knowledgeable in agricultural subjects, machinery, and outdoor living as well as in peak physical condition
Weakness: Limited knowledge in medicine, technology, and is lightly armed

Personality: Easy-going, sarcastic, and stubborn
Likes: Farming, hunting, firearms
Dislikes: Big cities, liberal thinkers, and know-it-alls
Fears: Heights

Bio: Born and raised in rural Nebraska, James spent most of his days outside, whether it was hunting, playing football, or helping out on his uncle's farm. While this would have been seen as torture from someone from an urban setting, James couldn't have been happier with how he lived his days. After graduating from high-school, he went to a small community college part-time for an agriculture degree while continuing to work on his uncle's farm. When he finally graduated, his family decided to celebrate by gifting him an all-expense paid trip to Chicago to watch the Cubs play at Wrigley Field.

It was then when the attack happened. James and countless others across the city had been exposed to a chemical agent that began to kill by the hundreds. He was lucky to survive the disease without either dying or becoming feral like others had. Trapped in Chicago, he struggled to get through the chaos that consumed the city as the outbreak spread. He survives by scavenging around the city for what he can and is desperately searching for a way out of the city to find out what happened back home.

How would City Hall fair? I'm thinking of having my character begin at his desk reminiscing of the events that got him to his current situation then begin from there.

[Ubaria]

I guess i'll start somewhere north of the Echelon Apartments, nearer to Columbus Park.

[Tayner]

Maybe I could start in the suburbs south of Kelly High School, which was converted to a National Guard FOB. The highschool would be overrun, but the surrounding suburbs would be relatively clear. Luke would probably try to make that his primary scavenging spot.

[Altito Asmoro]

Ooh, there's only 1 Asian in a sea of non-Asians.

Maybe I can start somewhere near Chicago Water Tower. The buildings may be converted into a small sanctuary and shelter by a group of priests and few survivors.

[Monarchy of Japanada]

Jax, although I may move his position based on where are characters are the time I have to use him, will probably start at the Navy Pier, he could have possibly cleared it out [Or it was already pretty safe] and hid out there, as dangerous as it is considering its right in the open.

[Krytonus]

Name: Wallace Pines
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: White
Age/DOB: 23, born 15th March.
Pic/Description: Wallace Pines is a scrawny, slightly underweight man with weasel-like features and pale, blotchy skin. He has short, greasy, unkempt black hair and the pathetic beginnings of a beard. His gray eyes have constant bags and dart around, watching everybody with a mixture of fear and distrust. He wears baggy blue jeans, a black "4chan" t-shirt and a gray hoodie, and constantly stinks of sweat and BO, even before the apocalypse. 5'8" tall.

Occupation: Nigerian Prince/Nelson Mandela's Wife/Sexy Woman (Email Scammer).
Immunity: None.

Equipment:

• Backpack
• Solar-Powered Portable Charger
• Steel Baseball Bat
• 11 cans of flat Pepsi Max
• Tin of Pringles, Sour Cream and Onion flavor
• iPhone 5c (pink with a cracked screen) with charger and official Apple headphones
• Laptop (Missing the "z" and "h" keys) with charger
• 47g of weed with some rolling paper
• Fake Rolex

Skills: Wallace, being an email scammer is a good liar. He's good at hiding and being quiet. Wallace has some skill as a hacker, occasionally working online with a branch of Anonymous who spend their time messing with celebrities and leaking nude pictures before the outbreak.
Weaknesses: Wallace is a slow runner and bad with guns. He's moody, untrustworthy and cowardly.

Personality: Wallace is a selfish loser. He values himself over others and doesn't get along well with authorities. He sees himself as an "intellectual" and a "nice guy" and is a self-proclaimed "Meninist" who believes women belong in the kitchen or in his bed. He is uncharismatic and occassionally creepy, and blames his lack of luck with women on douchebag jocks and bad boys.
Likes: Atheism, weed, women, his laptop, hacking, Pepsi Max and Sour Cream Pringles.
Dislikes: Feminism, religion, cops, military and other "righteous" people, jocks, "douchebags" and immigrants.
Fears: Infection, betrayal, death and cats.

Bio: Wallace Pines was born into a lower-class family living in the suburbs of Chicago. Born out of wedlock, his father left at an early age and his mother was forced to raise him alone. She worked as a nurse, and so had very long hours. As a result, Wallace spent a lot of time on his own, and did not have many friends. In middle school, he was first introduced to the wonders of the internet and video games, and in the following years he spent a lot of his time on websites like Reddit and 4chan, where he learned to hack. Wallace didn't pay much attention in classes, and was a consistent C student. As he grew up, he had little success with the opposite sex, and eventually came to the revalation that this was, of course, because women only go for bad boys and not nice guys like him. He shared this realization online with other like-minded individuals who introduced him to Meninism and Athiesm. His self-righteousness, lack of attention to hygiene and preference to stay inside on the internet further isolated Wallace, and he spent the rest of his school life friendless and bitter.

When he graduated, he went straight to a job at a local gadget shop and moved into a small rented apartment. The job paid badly, and it was around this time that Wallace started using his coding skills to start conning people online. He used automated emails and popups to scam users (generally the elderly and middle-aged) for their credit card information and other useful (and illegal) information. Since then, Wallace has spent most of his time online, hacking, playing video games or complaining about his lack of a significant other, though he did occasionally venture outside to try and pick up chicks (which always failed miserably.) He has not spoken with his mother in two years.

For the first weeks of the outbreak, Wallace simply stocked up on as much food as he could buy and locked himself in his apartment. However, now, almost a month later, Wallace is running low on supplies and is forced to leave his apartment and venture out into Chicago.

Wait, which character are you using? Jax or John? Sorry, I'm just confused easily

I'm using John, but if he dies I'll use Jax, who I'm still surprised was accepted because he is quite powerful, being strong, fast and good at beating people up. His only flaws are the lack of weapon skills, not being immune and the classic putting himself in danger to save others.

That would put you the furthest away out of everybody at roughly 20+ miles from Willis Tower. Why and how would you get to Chicago else you'd be on your own?

I took another look at the map, I was disoriented as to the position of Chicago itself; On review, I think a much better starting location would be Fosco Park, would that be acceptable?

Also, I'd like to change my app slightly and have Evander have moved to Indiana, rather than Illinois, if that's alright.

Ah, gotcha now. Also, I imagine he wouldn't be super charismatic to others and him having no immunity is pretty big.

Am I missing something, or did the map link get removed?

**EDIT**

Never mind. Firefox was just being dumb and not loading the link properly for whatever reason.

[Wallenburg]

I think I found a good spot for my character. Chicago Fire Department, 1338 S Clinton St.

[Shark isle]

How do you guys think a fire could start in Chestnut Grove. Because my character gets driven out of his hiding spot because of this event.

[Paddy O Fernature]

Literally any number of reasons really.

Appliances left on, food left on the stove, unattended candles, vandalism, utilities breakdown ect ect.

On possibility I was thinking about happening is that Alan tries to start a movie projector to watch a movie. But, the projector catches on fire and spreads across the theater.

It's a neat idea, but it's pretty much impossible with projectors these days.

Maybe he had some candles and one fell.
Maybe bandits tried to burn it down.


Also, John is starting near you, so you won't have to be alone.
