Rotting flesh is all around, the stench of death lingering in the air. The dead walk now, consuming any living thing they find. They have no memories of who they were or who someone may of been to them. Your loved ones could easily devour your skin. Out in the Ruins, life is trying to go on as normal as it can. Towns and foundations have set up across the land, making homes for those who cannot survive on their own. How will you live your life?

Map
Show hidden content
New Beginning: This is a rather large town and very populated. Most people chose to live here because of the secure walls it has. At each corner of the walls is a guard tower. Near the center of New Beginning is the town hall, then surrounding it is all the shack houses and shops. In the upper most Northwest corner inside the walls is a small hangout area for most children called The Puddle. There is little forestry inside the walls but there is a few scattered trees besides what is near The Puddle.
--The Puddle: This is a small pond that is surrounded by the forestry that New Beginning has inside the walls. Most children enjoy coming here to play and hang out.
Greenville: Being a rather small town with few people, they are surrounded by trees and are very big traders and scavengers. They are almost defenseless to any roaming zombies as they have no protective barriers, they only have weapons and hiding as their safety.
Plaza: THe Plaza is a town built in the center of a destroyed city. Most of the people who live here live either underground in the basements and tunnel systems or on top of the large buildings that are connected with platforms. They do a lot of trading.
Traveler's Den: Being a carved out area of a mountainous terrain, the Traveler's Den is the nest most protected area in the Ruins. There are not many people there but they are willing to help anyone they come across. Most of the traders that go through the towns stay here. They have many natural resources.
The District: This is nothing but a city of rubble. No one with a beating heart lives here unless they are completely crazy. It is extremely dangerous inside the District and most people try to avoid it. It is overrun with zombies. No one lives here. It is a danger zone.

Green is forestry, Brown is mountainous terrain, the sandy color is where land is dried out and dead, and each town is placed around where it is. Blue is water
Black lines are major paths, Grey lines are minor paths that are less known or used.

All your characters are so young. xD I refuse such measly ages and shall have an old man. :p

Username: Finhawk
Character Name: Sean Jones
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sean usually wears worn out shirts or T-shirts with colors such as green blue or red. The pair of black jeans he likes to wear have seen better days as well and the young man prefers to tuck them inside the black combat boots he wears. His look is completed with a dark green jacket which he keeps open unless the weather calls for a different solution.
Personality: Sean is usually a very open fellow and doesn't mind talking to others even if they're complete strangers. He's friendly towards almost everyone and tends to trust others too easily. He doesn't seem to know how to say 'no' either. For these reasons, he can be deceived and taken advantage of fairly easily. However, he's not just a naive child and he can do what is necessary for survival. Especially if his actions will help others as well.
History: As a child, Sean, except his name wasn't Sean back then, didn't really have a mind of his own and only did what his parents told him to without question. Nathan's, as that's the name his parents gave him, family lived in Greenville back in the day and within the small community, he felt no need for distrust anyone and grew up thinking every human only wants good for one another. However, as they had no real safety against the living dead, the boy was quick to learn how to avoid and handle them.
When Nathan was 16, his parents took his younger brother, who was 15 at the time, to a hunt with couple other people from their town. They never came back. The teenager grieved like any other human being would but life goes on no matter what. No one knew whether his family was dead or not but they were gone nonetheless.
Two years later, few travellers came to Greenville and stayed longer than they promised. The ones in charge of the town didn't like or trust them. Nathan however, did. The higher ranking people wanted the newcomers away, claiming they were suspicious. These people on the other hand, didn't want to obey. So they told Nathan a story. They claimed they had come across a dying man on their way. This man had told them the head of Greenville had wanted him and the ones who had been with him dead and sent them to a trap. The man's name had been Gregory Jones, Nathan's father.
The story made no sense if you thought about it for longer than five seconds but Nathan believed it anyway. The young man wanted revenge and made a hasty move, he killed the ones he thought had had his family killed. Just like he would put down zombies. He became a murderer. Obviously the townsfolk weren't too fond of his actions and Nathan fled Greenville before he ended up dead as well. However, the world had shrunk since the living dead started roaming around and the name of a murderer, Nathan Jones, would reach the other towns eventually as well. Which is why he started using his younger brother's name, Sean.
The man with a new name, wandered around on his own for a while but it proved to be too much for just one man eventually so he settled into New Beginning. He never took on a constant job during his years in the town and has been doing several jobs based on what is needed at the moment.
Family: Missing, presumed dead.
Job: Works as a hunter, scavenger or guard depending on the town's needs.
Other Details: Almost always moves around by running or jogging. Simply walking seems to be impossible for him.


No one said I couldn't use pictures as well so.... :d
Also, sorry if the history part is a bit long, I felt the need to have all that up there.

Accepted, and yeah I tend to keep most of my characters for all RPs around 17-20 as it is easier for me to RP through those points of view. xD Accepted of course!~ Should we wait for one more Rpers or just start now?

I'm not actually even sure when was the last time I RPed as a character that was under 21. :,D

Either works for me. If you feel like four is enough to start this, then I don't see why we couldn't. Though, I'm in no particular hurry either. If you wanna wait for one more, then I'm with you. :3

I think one of my characters were 22 years old, but one of them was actually seventy years old, but not the 'he was seventy but he looked fifteen' sort of thing :p.

Haha yeah. I mean I enjoy changing it sometimes, but I find it easier to rp as my age range so I have about the same mentality and thoughts of that age group. Like when I write for myself, I usually do my age and younger in them, progressing as I age.

aN RP WiTH dEcEeNt BACkgRouND iNFo? O_o How did I miss this?

Username: Death
Character Name: Jano Hammers
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Jano has dark brown hair that falls in tight ringlets around her face. It's usually about shoulder-length because of the curls, but when straightened it adds an extra 2-3 inches. She has olive skin and brown eyes, and just below average height.
As for clothing, she usually wears army green skinny jeans tied with a black (or occasionally white) sports tank top and brown combat boots. She's also a fan of gloves, and her favorite ones are a pair of black, fingerless, motorcycle gloves, although she also has a pair of black leather gloves that go up past her elbow (and are also fingerless).
Personality: Jano is the kind of person that accidentally sneaks up on people. (She doesn't intend to scare people by "appearing" behind them, but her footsteps are just rather quiet.) She has trust issues, because when she was younger she was very trusting, but when people started to violate her trust, she started becoming more and more distrusting of everyone but herself. Rather lazy, she won't do anything unless she has to, and if she does, she finds the quickest and easiest way to do it. She isn't bothered by death, even that of a loved one. This may be why she often accepts jobs that involve killing things. When it comes to interacting with other people, she's a bit...odd...to say the least. Her mind is quite "creative" and is often thinking about many things at once, which is why during a conversation, she has a tenancy to either space out or suddenly change the subject to something quite unrelated to the current one. However, she does love to help people, no matter what they need help with, and will go out of her way to do so.
History: Her parents were farmers, and they raised animals as well as growing crops. She never found a liking for garden work (she was afraid of the bugs and spiders in the fields), but she did like to take care of the animals. When she was 11, she started learning how to bow hunt, because her family had a rather nice bow. (It was actually her uncle's but he died, and their family got it.) At age 14, her father broke his right arm and she took over hunting,and became rather good with the bow. Two years later on her 16th birthday, she decided to move to the closest town to look for work, since she hated farming in general. For several years, she lived in Greenville, and honed her hunting skills (animals and otherwise), as well as learning how to use a pistol (which she also uses as well as her bow), until finally she moved to New Beginning two months ago (from the start of the RP).
Family: Her mom, dad, older brother, and younger brother still live on their farm near Greenville. (She had a younger sister, but she died of a sickness when she was 4.) She hasn't heard of them since she left, but believes they are still alive.
Job: She's a hunter, for the most part. Occasionally she will switch jobs for a few days if there is better pay.
Other Details: She has a chestnut horse named Snip that she raised while she lived on the farm. For the time being, a farm just outside of Greenville is letting her keep him there in return for hunting for them every so often.

I know it's long but I like to work on my characters a lot. XD

Alright Sirua, you cannot just be shooting people at random in the towns. Because that's not what it's there for. :b Like I said, things happen but you can't just be killing everyone in towns......... Sorry. Especially not an important/major town..

And again, there are no electronic devices, so no walkie talkies, phones, megaphones, etc. It's more of a whole, zombie apocalypse thing. For example, use the walking dead as an example, do they have electric and such?

Can we please figure this out? Because now I'm tempted to restart this all again x.x
