That Thorn In Your Side
Original Play Information by Snorlax
It's finally come. The "Zombie Apocalypse" is at large. But no one really calls them "zombies" do they? No one wants to admit that. They call them anything. Freaks, walkers, them. Anything, but zombies. As people begin to meet up after battling their own fights to get where they are, they all decide that they should stick together. Who wants to be alone in a world like this?
The new age is here. It's begun.
The age of man has come to an end, through contagion, or conspiracy, natural born disease or warfare, no one ever found out. There wasn't enough time...
Them, They, Those things, Or as the science fiction community so lovingly refers to them, Zombies.
Whatever you might call them, They're the majority, and the living are now the minority. Within two months, every major city center had fallen to the undead hordes. Within another month, Public services were all but worthless. Another month later, and the living population had been reduced to just under five per square mile.
Bandit groups have become the largest armed force there is, roving butchers of not only the undead, but also of anyone not willing to become one of them. Taking what they want, they murder, steal, and defile everything in their path.
When all the cards are down, and at the end of the day your laying in the road after running for your life from one thing or another... Will you see it through to the next day to make your mark in history? Or will you fall and die, not even a foot mark in the list of the dead.
Bandit's are a new element, and generally difficult if not impossible to kill, it is always far more beneficial to avoid them or hide from them. They are savage, and brutal, and tangling with them nearly always means death. They are very sense aware and can typical pick a person hiding in rubble like red ball being pulled out of a bin full of blue balls.
The Red Scars are the largest and most disorganized group that exists throughout the wastelands of America and Canada. They are in control of some of the last remaining fuel processing plants and control major resource points throughout all regions. They are savage and greedy by set type but they tend to avoid direct conflict with the undead.

The Bio-Hazard Clan is one of the smaller clans and was assembled by former military when the US Government fell during the initial apocalypse. They are ruthless butchers of the undead and move from town to town harvesting all available assets. They are smaller in numbers, but have superior equipment and firepower. They fear little and roll through areas drafting people into their pseudo army by force.

This clan is comprised of almost entirely children, It was started by a senior in a high-school and is one of the more merciful clans. They expend any resources they have to save, or rescue any child left in the wasteland on their own. They are by far the safest of the clans in the area but are as dangerous as the other notable clans when backed into a corner. They are known for their stealthy approaches and being able to escape nearly any situation without any losses. As a general rule of thumb they do not trust adults.

!!!!DO NOT POST YET, I WILL REMOVE ANY POSTS THAT OCCUR IN THIS SECTION UNTIL I HAVE SORTED OUT ALL DETAILS!!!!
This is a continuation of another play by @Snorlax. I was given permission by her and the consent of the other members of the role-play to reform this role-play and add further details to give a broader horizon to the play itself as well as a more immersive world and setting. Thus allowing for a stronger role-play with more depth.
The original cast included
@Snorlax's Character Charlotte
@HappyBeingMe's Character Bernadette "Bernie"
@mrsguppiepants' Characters Eli Goldfarb and Violet Menzel
@Kazanna's Character Derrick Cullerman
@Wolfette157's Character Nichole (Nikki) Wift
@Battleworn's Character Kimberly Malone (Kim)
and Leijonion's Characters Asim Mubarak and Dylan Flynn
These are their post details regarding the moments after the end events of Is This The End?
@Kazanna - Derrick Cullerman Finishes his preparations, and loads the preserved meat as well as any other supplies that he can into the back of the diesel trailer truck that is currently parked outside the store, he spends a decent amount of time doing this and ends up with enough supplies to keep him and a large group active while he establishes a new place of operations. He is however still on the hunt for his ideal location. He then moves the truck elsewhere and if he leaves alone, he vanishes for the time being. If the group goes with him. He stores the vehicle elsewhere and begins traveling with them with enough supplies to last up to three months in multiple travel bags. He would situate himself to attempt to lead them in the zombie infested world. His endgame plan is to find a location to "Settle" in, build a farm, and set up a small farming community in the mountains somewhere.
@Battleworn Kimberly decided to to leave and go off on her own. She wanted to become stronger. She HAD to become stronger. Over the time since the group dispersed, she had actually made a friend, a partner. She was around Kim's age and her name was Mariah. T hey both found an abandoned cabin in the woods together and set that as their base. But one night, a horde moved through. It's was too much for two young girls to handle. Kim and Mariah tried to flee but Mariah got stuck and the walkers quickly caught up. Kimberly had no option but the leave her best friend behind. She felt so selfish... So ashamed of what had happened. That's when she began to kill walkers for fun. She thought that if she knew how to kill those things instead of run all the time, she could prevent that kind of fatality. She continued to stay at the cabin she inhabited and went on weekly runs to a town nearby.
One evening while doing her usual run, she was confronted by a group if about 5 children and they introduced themselves as the Young Guns Clan. Seeing as though the offers they made were promising and resourceful, Kim joined the clan of bandits. After loosing Mariah, aw felt at home with them sine everyone there was around her age.
@Wolfette157 Nichole stayed with Derrick on the search of a place to stay. She wasn't about to be left alone in the undead world again and the more people in a group, the safer they were. But large numbers of people made it difficult to travel. Nichole spent the weeks/months helping Derrick gather, search, and kill. She went without becoming infected and hadn't had anymore close calls since her battle in front of the store. Her hair got in her way quite a lot so she cut it off just two weeks after they left. She chopped her hair to her chin so that it would no longer fall into the corpses and increase chances of infection for her or others.
@mrsguppiepants Violet had chosen to stay with Derrick's group, wheres Eli chose to join the the group that left the grocery store and venture into the world (Low detail, will prod for more details later.)
@Snorlax Charlotte ventured out on her own, the reason is currently unknown, will we see her again? This is yet another unknown factor. To the rest of our cast, she is lost to the wastelands.
@HappyBeingMe Bernadette "Bernie" followed after Charlotte, seeking to stay loyal to the first person she met after an extended period of time. Her current whereabouts, just as with Charlottes and Eli's are unknown. Will we see them again? This is as of yet undecided
If any of you authors have issue with the above. PM Me asap and I'll modify to accommodate.
I will be adding further details to this before we start
