TLDR
Getting started is more about me and why I want to start this RP so I will be providing you with a shorter version if don't wish to read.
My name is Luna or Hana I'm going to be the GM for this RP. I've run a few RP's in the past and have participated in many. The last RP I ran was a zombie RP and I ran into a few bumps but think I gotta it somewhat figured out. I hope to start another zombie RP, with a new and in my opinion an exciting premise. The most important thing I talk about is the number of people that will be in this RP. I am only going to accept five people, for a total of six including myself. Notice I say people rather than characters. You can have two characters if you wish to, but no more. This RP is not first come first serve. If you do not wish to read all the tabs please at least read Plot and Rules & Regulations.
Hello, all my name is Luna or Hana. I've been RPing for quite a while now and GMing on occasion. I don't see myself as an expert in either but I am passionate about it. The last RP I ran was a zombie RP and something you'll come to find out is that zombie RPs are just an ich I can't scatch. I love them and honestly, have a ton of fun doing them. I love seeing how everyone choose to react to the events that happen within them as well as the character development. I feel that zombie RPs are home to some of the best character development due to how unversed the characters are with dealing with something like it.
Anyways you may or may not be wondering what happened to the old zombie RP. Now don't get me wrong I honestly loved that RP and I loved a lot of the characters and thoroughly enjoyed RPing with many of the people involved. I feel that its downfall was accepting willy-nilly and not sticking to my guns. When I first announced my RP I said I would only accept a limited number of people. It got more attention than I thought and as a result, I felt bad for turning people away. We had a good group going with a few people dropping or just ghosting but all in all, everyone still enjoyed it and had fun. This is where I messed up, I allowed too many new people that it created almost a divide. Most of the OG members RPed with each other and the newer ones RP with themselves. It was almost as if it were two different RPs.
To fix this I will be sticking to my rule I am only accepting five people to make a total of six. This is non-negotiable. I would like to point out that I said I'm accepting people not characters. Each person may have two characters. This is not a requirement. You can create the second character with the first or later in the RP if you get accepted. You may not have more than two characters at once if you wish to kill your character to get another you may, but please refrain from killing characters every other post. It is not first come first serve. If this gets enough interest I will post the Character Sheet along with its due date, if there is an emergency I will extend your time if your character is already a WIP. For more information on character please refer to the characters tab.
Lastly about the RP you are reading about. I tried to create something with enough plot to keep the RP going but still leave room for your characters to grow and make decisions for themselves. The RP will take place in the current era right before winter. I don't wanna spoil too much so go check out the plot tab to learn more.
This is all I have to say for getting started, thank you for reading ^^
Welcome to the farmlands of Pennsylvania. This is where your journey begins maybe you came from down from New York to visit family, or you fled from the collapsing Washington. Where ever you came from doesn't matter now. Now that the dead have taken over the place you once called home is just a distant memory. To dwell on the life you had before and wish it back would be not only a lie to yourself but to the new decaying world that surrounds you. It's time to wake up and smell the corpses. There is no time to waste because the dead don't sleep. Not unless you put a shiny metal bullet right between their eyes.
How you got here I don't remember you probably told me when we first met, but to be honest I was probably more worried about killing you if you tried to hurt me. Don't take it personally kid, the world was a cruel place and now it calls for us to be demented with it. Anyways it's getting colder and colder every day and those measly sleeping bags we found won't keep us alive for long. It may have worked during fall but once winter hits were all dead.
This story follows our group as we try to survive the winter. The dead aren't the only danger, between the lack of food, ever growing cold, and trigger-happy living. The world just got a whole lot more dangerous.
I'm not picky about characters. I just have a few things that I feel need to be a certain way in order for the plot to move and for it to be at least somewhat realistic. Your characters are human so treat them as so no OP characters. If your character knows how to hunt there should be a reason for it. If they know how to use a gun well then there should be a reason. If your character is small and somewhat weak their weapon cannot be something like a sledgehammer. Weapons are realistic for the setting so no rocket launchers or machine guns.
Having a character that is good at getting around via trees because the grew up on an orchard and climbed trees their whole life is a lot more interesting and fun the character that is a prodigy marksman and never misses a shot because they are a prodigy and that means there doesn't have to be a reason.
Your character will have an inventory. What they carry has to be realistic. If you can carry everything it doesn't give the feeling of struggle and desperation.
I don't ask for a lot when it comes to rules.
.01. Follow RPNations guidelines and rules.
.02. Quality over quantity. I don't like having a post requirement or restrictions. Just make sure you give enough for people to go off of and understand that if you take to long to respond (12+ hrs) people have the right to skip over your post to continue with the story.
.03. Light on IC BBcode. Some people are on mobile and it doesn't always work right. If you really wish to use BBcode for IC then please provide a mobile friendly version as well via "spoiler'.
.04. No metagaming/mind reading or OP characters.
.05. Romance is allowed but keep it to a minimum this is a zombie apocalypse, not a reality show. Relationships can form but don't let it take over.
.06. Be nice to each other in OOC. Settle arguments through PM's or simply drop it. There is no reason to fight we're all just here to have fun. If and issue continues and it's affecting the RP I will deal with it, but please don't let it get to that point.
