The Sickness... [Sign ups, Apoc RP] ...Is inevitable.

Bobbar7857 · Nov 26th 2017

Hi! I'd just like to add up here this is a rewritten version of a thread I have done in the past, unfortunately it didn't work out well then, but I'm hoping, since so many other threads are private now, that I can get in some good people this time and we can keep it going for a while.

RP Thread

The Sickness

Your radio crackles to life, after all that's happened a few people still whole up together to do a sort of radio show, right now they're interviewing a survivor from New York, one of the few to escape. The question: "Do you think any of us have a chance?"

"We're all going to get it, it's not a matter of who... it's just a matter of when and where, whenever one of them sinks it teeth into you, Corpses I like to call 'em... once they sink their teeth in to you, it's all over. They're hideous you know, all covered in warts and oozing puss out of their horrible, bloated bodies, but they can move fast if they want to, not all of them shamble towards you like the rest, some of 'em run, and some crawl... But they all have one thing in common, they come after us, something about eating those who aren't sick yet seems to keep these sick Corpses healthy, if one of them's not as infected as the others, it's either freshly turned, or it's eaten plenty of us. If you see one of these things don't hesitate, just shoot it, bash it, whatever you have to do, this isn't no damn movie where you gotta pop the brain, they're flesh and blood like you and me. Good luck."

How?

The bomb

The Eyes

Finding the sick is all about looking at the eyes... their eyes slowly become more blood shot, the whites start turning pink, and the pupils slowly get larger. There are a few other signs, but the best way to check is to just shine a light right in their eye and see what you can see.

OOC Rules (Unbreakable)

1. No perfect characters.

2. People will die and get sick, don't expect to live forever.

3. Yes, you can curse, but if it's a really strong word censor it out, don't use any slurs, and don't curse every other sentence.

4. You will struggle to find ammunition for weapons, it won't just be lying everywhere.

5. ^ The same goes for finding food water, and supplies in general.

6. Don't argue out of character or harass each other, just get along.

"Survivor's Law" (IC rules, breakable)

1. Theft will not be tolerated, punishments depend on severity.

2. Murder will of course not be tolerated, punishable by banishment or execution.

3. Those found conspiring against the rest of the group will be banished or used as bait for Corpses.

4. Harassment of other survivors isn't allowed, if you are found doing so you will be punished depending on severity.

Character Form

My character

Now, there's the question of where are you? Well, you see, you're held up in a mall of all places... a mall that was quarantined when things started going down hill, you and the rest of your group make the best of it, and there are plenty of people... but it seems like every day a new one dies. The mall is in Wyoming, where specifically isn't important, what's important is that you get out of here and get to Oklahoma or some other southern state, the supposed beacons of humanity that remain.

Bobbar7857 · Nov 27th 2017

Accepted, also just realized I forgot to delete the role part of the form (I used to actually have roles set up before I rewrote it)
Good character though

~Raven~ · Nov 27th 2017

thank you :)

blankblankblank · Nov 27th 2017

ahh hope this is alright !! <3

rocko !

FULL NAME ;;

rocko ware

AGE ;;

nine / 9

GENDER ;;

male

PERSONALITY ;;

despite what he's been through, rocko stays a kind soul. he's talkative and bright, out to help anyone who could possibly need it. though, he is increasingly childish, and this is due to his young age. this has led for him to be extremely trusting of people, extremely gullible and easy to trick. though, if you are kind to the boy, he will indeed stay loyally by your side. if you tell rocko to jump, he will indeed.

APPEARANCE ;;

rocko is very small, even for his young age. he stands barely over four feet tall, weighing just around fifty - something pounds. his hair is a greasy black, eyes nearly the same darkened tone. the boy's face is nearly always dirty, covered in something, ranging from dirt all the way to blood. he wears a leftover halloween costume from a year or two before, a useless pilot's jumpsuit, made out of cheapo cloth. despite this, he's recently picked up a thick pair of leather gloves and a legitimate cap from one of the corpses.

HISTORY ;;

though young, rocko held a previously simple life. his parents divorced at a young age, and his mother took custody of him. luckily, he was at home when the sickness quickly began to spread noxious through their town. rocko and his mother manage to escape from their flat, and wander the streets for a few seemingly uneventful weeks. though, the day his mother fell ill, she told rocko to go. to run away, to keep himself safe. his feet couldn't seem to take him fast enough away from his sickened mother. now, he feels like he's nothing but alone out here.

RELATIONS ;;

rocko lived with his mother before the sickness hit. afterwards, they travelled together before she too fell sick from a bite. what happened to his father is unknown to the boy.

SKILLS / ABILITIES ;;

though many could see him as possibly useless, rocko is otherwise. his short legs allow for immeasurable speed, and rocko is perfect for supply runs and delivering messages between survivors. if you can find a bb gun small enough, he could possibly be a little more than handy with it.

STRENGTHS ;;

his speed and finesse allow for an a+ ability of dodging, and he is rather handy with a child's sized bb gun.

WEAKNESSES ;;

rocko is small, unable to handle large guns or wielded weapons. he also happens to be loud, whether talking or running about.

OTHER ;;

hello !! ♡

Bobbar7857 · Nov 27th 2017

Accepted, Rocko's general loud behavior should add some conflict, I'll make the RP thread once we get another person or two.

When things went bad, Kayden was living with his middle brother.-While he was going to some school to become a vet- He could recall skyping his mother and father, Hearing them say his brother Adrian had gotten sick. But it hadn't seemed that big of a deal then. Shortly after that call. Kayden was unable to get in touch with his mother or father. He still doesn't know if their alive or not.

After this, Him and his step brother decided to try and make their way home. Brushing off the dangers the news warned about. They went outside. Things soon went to hell. And somewhere along the way Kayden and his brother got separated. Though Kayden was lucky enough to find his way to somewhere somewhat safe in the mall.

Max, MJ (if you want to piss him off), or Kent

AGE:

32 yrs

GENDER:

Male

PERSONALITY:

Max is the classic Soldier. He follows all orders given to him, to a T... no exceptions. He is extremely smart, and a tactical expert, due to his military background. He plans everything out in advance, only thing is he is not a leader. He can't delegate well, and often doesn't "play nice" with others. He sees many as people who are simply mooching off the group and not trying to support the group. He does not take lightly to excuses and has a brutally short temper. He is extremely protective of his daughter, and would let anyone or anything hurt her... in other words he chooses her over your a$$ to save any day.

APPEARANCE:

He stands at about five foot eleven. He is extremely well built, and while he is not in as good shape as when he was in the military he is still in excellent shape. He has blue-gray eyes that watch everyone and everything.

HISTORY:

Maximum was born into a family who never supported him. Well, they tried to, but often not in ways he needed. Max is extremely intelligent with a Photographic Memory. Math and science come easy to him and as such he wanted to pursue a career using math and science. He found his way into the Air Force as an engineer, where he spent eight years after turning 18. On his eigth year he applied to the FBI, and instead of being accepted there he was recruited for Homeland. He spent until the bombing while working in Homeland just outside the city. Instead of staying away, Max had headed into the city. Why? Simple. His family.

RELATIONS:

His fiancé is dead, but his daughter is still alive and in the mall with him.

SKILLS/ABILITIES:

-Gunman, specifically rifles, but can shoot pretty much anything and have pretty good aim.

-photographic memory

STRENGTHS:

- gunman

- physical strength

- hand to hand combat

- Photographic Memory

-near sighted

WEAKNESSES:

- His daughter, he will do anything for her.

- allergic to pollen, so he sneezes, his 9 puff up slightly, and his eyes water a lot. It gets real bad in fall and spring.

- deathly allergic to peanuts

- communication

- near sighted, and does have glasses as he is on his last pair of contacts of his prescription strength.

- almost completely deaf (genetics suck). He is completely deaf in his left and almost deaf in his right ear, which does have a hearing aid, but he is running low on batteries.

- can't run fast at all, and his reaction time has slowed over the years

- brutal temper

- his physical strength and size cause him to be slower than smaller opponents.

OTHER: .... his daughter would be about five or six years old, and is open for others to play if anyone wants to.

Bobbar7857 · Nov 29th 2017

Can you come up with some stronger weaknesses? A few allergies don't really balance out how good he is at combat and his photographic memory, and his intelligence.
