Realistic or Modern The Walking Dead. (ooc)

ic / character sheets

hi welcome to the ooc thread for The Walking Dead rp !

 

[temporarybliss]

I'm struggling to pick an fc soooo bad, but I promise I'll have my cs up soon!

 

[doedeer]

no worries ^__^

 

[Miaow]

I feel you, I'm super picky with fcs!
Also, I'm super excited to see everyone's characters!

 

[Walliver]

really hyped for this XD

 

[doedeer]

hi guys! so I wanted to brainstorm where we should start this. I was thinking of how we all wanted to start this off and have our characters together. Two options came to mind. One could be that we are all simultaneously in a big city and for whatever reason, whether it be looting an area and running into each other or a walker attack (like if some characters are running and another character steps in or leads them to a hideaway spot etc. (Obviously not us all meet at once, but hopefully you get the gist?) let me know if you guys have any ideas too :]

 

[doedeer]

also no pressure on finishing characters, I'm about to finish my two, but I think I might try and recruit others to join - for now we can brainstorm plots < 3 hope everyone's weekend has been good !!

Hallo!

I like your idea of all being in the same city and running into each other. Maybe there could be a hoard that comes through when everyone is going about their respective scavenging, and they all happen to take shelter in the same place

 

[Walliver]

That sounds like a neat idea! Bringing characters together by force and they just have to learn to deal with each other if they want to survive

 

[doedeer]

Cool :] I think when I make the rp thread I'll give an general outline to the part of the city we're all relatively near to and just more information I think of. I was thinking of the city of Atlanta.

 

[doedeer]

I have a lot of cool ideas too, I'm just going to throw some out there that could happen down the line in the rp:
(not in any order either)
-moving out to the countryside (probably a must at some point)
-having to cover ourselves in guts and blood to get past walkers
-finding bases to live in like abandoned houses
-people going missing?

-possibly encountering dangerous people and having to get out of it
-possibly encountering a towns with walls people live in

^^ these two I'm willing to rp as npcs or extra characters btw. I just hope for a successful, long-term rp with this (I hope you do too!). I'm also hoping as we go a long more people may want to join in -- I think that would make things super interesting

Hey Hey! Finally got my cs up and looking at peoples' characters.

I wanted to brainstorm where we should start this

I think that would be a great start to the roleplay

 

[Admiral_Jesus]

When is this gonna be set? At the beginning of the outbreak or some time after?

 

[doedeer]

I was thinking 8 months to a year after the outbreak. I think maybe we should set some ground rules on what information we know. At this point I'd assume not everybody would know that you can turn into a walker just by passing away, maybe one person in the group has some sort of speculation, but for the most part maybe we can find that out later after witnessing a walker with no bites on it.. Seem fair?

I volunteer Minnie to go missing because that'll make Haewon very angry and hard to deal with haha

 

[KaigerGalaxy]

What's the estimated start date? Not to rush though lol

 

[doedeer]

hmm, I'm going to wait for a couple more people that were making character sheets and then I'll start writing the rp thread intro :]

 

[Admiral_Jesus]

I'm working on my first now. I'll see what I have in mind for #2 once im done that

hmm, I'm going to wait for a couple more people that were making character sheets and then I'll start writing the rp thread intro :]

 

[doedeer]

Admiral_Jesus love your 1st character < 3 this is coming together so great I'm so hyped

 

[Walliver]

doedeer
Etienne is finished btw

 

[Miaow]

Etienne dislikes cats? Worst OC, 0/10 /j

 

[noil]

pumped to start :3

 

[Admiral_Jesus]

What level of literacy is the target, in terms of length? Paragraph, multi-paragraph?

 

[Walliver]

I think the GM said multi paragraph. It’s in the interest check

 

[Admiral_Jesus]

oh okay thanks, must have missed it
