Zombie Apocalypse (Role-play)

Cinia Pacifica · 2012-09-12T16:11:47+00:00

I welcome you all - viewers and possible participants - to my next Role-play (RP), the Zombie Apocalypse Role-Play. I've long been debating whether I should make an RP at all. I was patiently waiting while continuing my other activities for an RP to be made by someone else. I didn't feel even the slightest of disappointment when none did; since I know of the rate of activity in this forum and the decreasing popularity of RPs. So, I felt like RPing on Fakku, and the only way left was to be a GM once again, hence making a new RP by myself. I am not very experienced with hosting this type of an RP, so please bear with me. I hope we all have fun, but while it is for the sake of fun - please do not forget the rules and etiquette of RPing, if you need help; I'm here for you... however, lately I've been more lazy than usual, and life got a bit more busier, I'd prefer people with experience to join or inexperienced players in the RP to be more attentive to the information provided (along with the RP guide linked in the rules section below) and not make any type of a bad mistake. Prologue: Spoiler: Panic is aloof, reports are showering the eyes, ears and minds of citizens. There is an outbreak of strange - black and disgusting looking beings whose monstrosity is not parallel to what has been seen by the pupils of man so far. The bloodthirsty zombies! Rumor has it that there has been secret joint experiment by some countries secretly around the world, and most of this disastrous research took place in certain facilities around the Fakku city. All of you who are in Fakku City. You hear of this news, hear sounds of explosions or people's scream from afar and think of what to do. But time is of utmost importance. Since all of you don't have much of it. Prepare your items and equipments and find seek your destination. (A GM post will announce what location your character should go to for seeking shelter) Rules: Every RPs have a set of rules of their own, to make sure that everything goes the way they should. This section obviously excludes the etiquette deal because that one is a must in every RP and hence is like an unspoken rule. Anyway, here are the rules of this RP: 1.) If you're not used to RPing or don't know how to RP, please read the RP Guide. Please make sure to play fair and in proper manner. Make sure that you don't munch. Also, regardless of the statistics of your character; don't do something that is completely something that your character usually wouldn't do, remember to take in consideration who your character is and that character's personality every time you post. 2.) Please use the OOC speak, comment or ask about something while not in-character. Also, please keep your posts clean, this includes you having to write proper, add punctuations, etc. Don't quote other users in this thread, especially in your RP posts. And if you have anything to ask, please send me a Private Message (PM). If you post pictures to maybe show what move your Original Character (OC) makes, or show a picture of a weapon, person, or anything, spoiler it please. 3.) All of the RP posts are to be in first-person writing format (for more information about narrative writing, look here) Also, you're not allowed to control whichever important NPCs you may create; this is to ensure that you don't use these characters in an unfair manner. As such, I'll be controlling such characters... and besides, NPC stands for Non-playable characters anyway. But if you are to use unimportant NPCs who are only used for certain situations and soon disregarded without being used much, they may be in your care. 4.) This is an important rule, so please be attentive. There is a deadline of one day for posting, every single day after the RP starts, this means that you have to post everyday in the RP after it starts. Unless something so dear that doesn't happen all the time everyday happens in your life that makes you so busy or out-of-reach from the internet, you won't be allowed to not post in a day as long as your character can do something (you have to inform me beforehand about your situation IRL that may prevent you from posting), even just sitting and wondering and watching what others doing works in this case. Or else you'll be kicked out. If you're a really good RPer that I want in this RP, I can make exceptions like a two-day limit. Please make sure that you're following the rules properly, and don't screw up too many times, I don't want to tell you off. But if I have to; I will. Also, please try not to post at all if you're not posting a profile (if before the start) or an actual RP posts (if after it started). Ideally, I want the first page to be filled with my instructional posts or posts containing profiles by those wanting to take part in this. Any and all questions - as said before - goes to my inbox. Also, I'd like it if all those who are posting their profiles here would PM me their Skype contacts so that I can make a Skype group chat if you happen to have an account. A Skype group chat can encourage discussions and such, and probably more; like joint posts to make situations flow more properly. Alternatively, you can add me on Skype, my contact is given on my sig. But the whole Skype group chat thing is not compulsory. Character creation: Character creation: Spoiler: Attributes: All players, when making a Player Character (PC), has thirteen (13) points, spend these points when making your own PC to participate in the RP. This way, you may be able to have average statistics for your character and will have three (3) extra points for specialization. You cannot have more than 5 points in each of the attributes. The attributes are as follows: Strength: Physical capabilities, combat ability. Dexterity: This involves speed, finesse, and such. Perception: How good are you at noticing things, especially in dire situations? Intelligence: How knowledgeable are you? Are you good at making plans and have a sharp and fast mind? Social: How good are you with socializing, bonding with people and managing to convince them for something? -------------------------------------------------- This includes the other, basic information of your character. Name: The character's name, but down the full name and the nickname (if any). Gender: Specify whether the character is male or female. Age: How many years old is your character? Appearance: How your character looks. You may describe with words. But I'll always be preferring a picture over words. But even if you do provide a picture, please do provide notes of what type of clothing your character would be wearing once the outbreak of zombies occur. Type of weapon: What type of a weapon does your character use? Pick only one. Personality: What kind of a personality does your character have? Background: Give a brief detail of your PC's life. No need to necessarily write a wall of text, but you may do so if you so wish. [u]About the RP: Spoiler: Every attribute plays major roles in every situations your character faces. And whenever your character tries to perform something, let's say planning, or hearing a zombie groaning as they're coming from afar or running away or even beating up some zombies to the death. All of these actions' outcomes will be decided by throwing a dice. As I've mentioned in the character creation section, your character has a limit of 5 point in each attributes. Now, when your character faces a certain situation, I'll be picking out a number, probably from 3-10. And we'll call that number to be the level of difficulty for performing whatever task your character wants to perform in that situation. Once I throw the dice, the attribute that is meant to be used for the task your character is performing and the result of throwing the 1d6 will be added, if the end result exceeds the number which is needed to be passed - then your character succeeds. If the number is lower; he/she failed and may pay a terrible price, depending on the situation. If we were to go more in-depth with the number distributed on each attribute, then: Zero (0) - You can't do anything that is required by the certain attribute. For example: If your character is has 0 Strength, he/she obviously cannot fight and may even need someone to carry him around. That character may not have Strength simply because he/she may have lost her arms or ways of fighting in every way possible. One (1) - Means below average, the character may be crippled, or is just really bad at whatever the attribute is used for. Two (2): Average level of capability. Three (3): Above average level of capability. Four (4): Exceptionally good, in fact, really good. Five (5): Your character reached the peak, he/she can't get better than this. --------------------------------------- - You play as a character who has suddenly found him/herself in a situation where hordes of zombies are to appear soon wherever you're located in Fakku City, in a time that is set at 2050 (I can't help but love futuristic times, can't help it). - The Fakku city is a city founded by Jacob Grady who wanted to build a large city that is dedicated to being a starkly different type of place. What he truly wanted was distinctions in comparison to the rest of the world. The technology are slightly advanced, or rather, different in comparison to the level of technology in the rest of the world. Fakku city is a place that is hard to live in, though. People are banished from it if they can't keep up with studying or can barely work, the adults that is. No working adult or a university student above the age of 18 can slack around or they might lose their place in their strange paradise. - The currency, however, is simply dollars. Since sloth has somewhat overcome me, take it's value as the dollar of today. We can just say that the value grew up and down a lot until coming back to this value that is at current value in real life. - This timeline itself is specially put in future because that opens more possibilities for great use of creativity, since the technology in this time and age has drastically advanced. - Your character can be of any age. However, the attributes you set to your character must make sense, and the explanations must be given in the background. Let's say for example a character is a little boy who's strength is akin to that of a really strong and muscular man who'd be superstar in wrestling shows or boxing, now, why does this character have such unreal strength? We can try and provide an explanation in the background by writing about this boy's past - we can say that this boy was injected with some odd and mysterious cells or perhaps genes that boosted his strength, to the point that he's this strong, I suppose strength like that would be 4 or 5 in the Strength attribute. It may seem unreal, but I am simply allowing you all freedom up to some extent in creating your own character. Just don't overdo it and add supernatural elements, we're not gonna have any supernatural elements in an RP like this. - Remember that you don't have to make your character capable of everything, because that's where team-play comes in handy. You can't trust yourself to do everything, you and your comrades can divide all the tasks among yourselves. I expect all of half of the PCs to form a team among themselves. Or else you're not playing it right. Lone path is death path. That said, leadership definitely needs Social attribute points. - I'll be playing a PC myself, or else I can't get into this. I'm just so helpless in things like these. I have no way of convincing everyone, but I'm gonna try as best as I can with being neutral and make sure the games progresses fairly. Don't mistake my character for an NPC though, but yeah, I'll also be playing all of the important NPCs that you all may make, though I'd discourage your against making much NPCs. - All the dice rolls, all the calculations and explanations for what happens why - I'll post them in a GM post, or at the top of my RP posts (what my PC does and all). [u]Map of the city: Here's an aerial view, completely from the top, of the city: Spoiler: All the white or silver terrain of the city is basically metallic. Futuristic stuff I guess. The airport is the place above the wide bridge. Here is a detailed view of the airport: The harbor is the place right after the bridge. Here is a detailed view of the harbor: Detailed view of the bridge used to reach the harbor: Here's the map containing every PCs' current locations in the city, including the city Section areas marked: ------------ Again, if you have questions, send me a message.

Seeing that Kris had taken over the situation and was handling it nicely, Cliff saw no reason to comment as he listened. As the conversation came to a conclusion, it was announced that everyone was going to rest a bit before leaving for the lab, and thus Cliff was escorted upstairs to his own room. The room was very well kept, and was fitted with a large bed, several drawers, a desk, and a large mirror.

Cliff dismissed the maid who had escorted him and walked into the room, closing the door behind him. He walked to the desk and opened one of it's draws to find a stack of blank stationary. Hm... Well, isn't that convenient? Cliff took a seat at the desk, and took out a sheet of stationary, as well as one of the pens on top of the desk and sat in deep thought before scribbling equations and measurements, and drawings onto the piece of paper. I've gotten enough sleep. I've run on no sleep for 4 days before; this is nothing. I need to be ready to use that lab as quickly and efficiently as I can.

"It's been a pleasure to have such a beautiful maid escort me to my room," Satoru said as his waived his guide away. As soon as the door was closed he let out a heavy sigh, the atmosphere of the whole place was very tense and he was happy to be alone. Satoru sat on the edge of the neatly made bed, and unsheathed his katana, for the first time in a while cleaning the blade and thoroughly taking care of it. He was reminded of his ex-girlfriend coming in from the rain, and found some sleeping pills on the beside table and went to sleep to shut out the painful memory.

Kris walked with Kahori into the room and took a look around. For a guest room they were pretty decent sized rooms. Complete with dressers and a desk. Even a body sized mirror in the corner. But the bed was definitely not big enough for two people. He was going to try to convince Kahori to sleep in her own room, but he remembered her episode on the boat. If the group was going to be at their best everyone needed to get their rest. "We'll have to share," said Kris sighing silently.

Removing his helmet he placed it to the side of the bed. Removing his suit so that he had on his pants and under shirt he sat down and folded them up.

Kahori walked over the opposite side of the bed from Kris. She set down her bag at the foot of the bed on the floor, and gazed at the bed. "Are you sure we're not supposed to remove all our clothes? I read in the encyclopedia that couples would get into bed together sometimes."

Kris coughed. "That is for grown up couples Kahori... And we aren't a couple!" said Kris finishing up his clothes. "What kind of books were you reading in that library?"

"The entire Encyclopedia Britannica. I only brought it up because there's only one bed, so I thought the maids thought we were a couple," Kahori said as she got underneath all of the covers with her clothes on. She gave out a slight moan as she settled in. "This is so comfortable. It beats every other bed I've slept in. And the pillow too. Geez, these are really nice. Silk and down feathers?"

"But you are the one who asked to..." Kris started, but Kahori was already in heaven exploring the wonders of the bed. "I don't think the maids would think that," said Kris. At least I hope they didn't he thought. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he yawned. "Anything is better than sleeping on the floor of a boat," Kris said laying down on top of the covers. Grabbing the other pillow, he wrapped his arm around it submerging his head in comfort. "You know, these pillows really are nice," he said laughing.

"I know, right?" Kahori asked rhetorically as she started drifting to sleep.

"Goodnight Kahori," Kris said as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Uther dismissed the maids as they let him inside his room. Now that they are gone... Uther carried his bag to bed and took out a toolbox that he got from inside the vehicle he rode with Kotori. He put it on a desk across the room and also put his guns there, Dead weight, I should just take what is lighter and easier to use. Maybe there's a Swiss Army Knife in there, Uther thought as he opened the tool box. There was only a couple of wrenches, bolts, nuts, and a screw driver. Uther closed the tool box and put it near a trash bin.

I should sleep, Uther threw himself on to the bed and he soon fell to his dream lands.

Hilda puts down her bag in the desk as she sighs, "For me to be tired after swinging that sword in the plane... I guess I do need a bit of rest, after all, she glanced at her sword; leaning the wall on the other side of the bed. Hilda then walked to her bed and laid down. Not bad for comfort... she thought as her vision drifted to darkness; leaving reality.

"Is this my room?" Christine asked the maids whom escorted her. "Well, thank you then. You can leave now," Christine bowed towards the maids and entered her room. She put down her backpack near the bed and took her phone. As I thought, no energy left. Haaa, if only I took my notebook at the hotel back then. Christine spaced out for a while, thinking about what should she do later. She charged her phone and checked her gun. Wasted 35 bullets and still haven't killed one zombie. What should I do now, Dad? Christine took a few deep breaths while laying down on the bed.

Just for once, let me forget everything...

Iteyui snapped back to life as she fumbled to the ground just after entering the room, clasping her head. The maid who found her strange looked concerned and murmured a string of words, but Iteyui couldn't make out a word she was saying as her mind was fogged by sudden realisation. In a quick movement of the hand, Iteyui dismissed the maid. "Just... go."

Iteyui tried to pull herself together and regain her composure. What...what just happened? What was I doing? She could only ask herself questions. "Last thing I remember was exiting a plane...agh...where is this?" It was as if she had spaced out completely while moving soullessly along, and nobody could notice at all. With all energy sapped from her body and unable to think clearly, Iteyui left her haversack that had its contents strewn about the floor, and crawled to the bed to hopefully get some sleep. However, she felt like she slept for days to come, had just woken up, and was going to sleep again. She continued to stare at the ceiling, trying to match her eye movements to the fan's blades. She laid there undisturbed.
Ayane laid down on her bed, and closed her eyes while shoving her thoughts and worries aside, it is time to rest, and she has important things to deal with after she wakes up, she set an alarm on her phone to ring after about three hours, instead of four. She probably had some work to do.

***

It seemed that as everyone somewhat slept in the four hours, the maids and servants soon knocked the doors of the guests in order to wake them up, except for the room on which Kris and Kahori slept, as Ayane knocked on it instead, with papers holding information about the lab.

The time has come to head out for business.
