Realistic or Modern Zombie Apocalypse

[Tombstone]

We are all kind of busy at the moment. Two of our members are swamped with work. Another is in Syria hoping to not get shot. One is on vacation. And lastly I'm at a world championship shooting competition. Cut us a break. Or at the very least try tagging someone instead of complaining.

I don't see any complaining....

[JokerValentine]

NAME: Ansel McKinnon


GENDER: Male


AGE: 29


DISCRIPTION:

HISTORY: Ansel, up until the outbreak, lived a quiet and humble life. Not much is exactly known of what he did, but what is known is that he had several jobs starting from high school. Namely, he worked as a chef, a mechanic, and a janitor. He always had belief in the law, until the outbreak. When he saw the breaking of rules by law enforcement and the masses, he followed suit. However, he always had a sense of "put himself and his own group first". He distrusted outsiders, unless he was out of options and was alone.


How did he survive exactly? Luck has its ways of permeating our lives. He lived simple, after working in the city, he relocated to the countryside for unknown reasons (most likely as a result of his family relations). He has not heard from his parents, and is indifferent to their whereabouts. He managed to live quiet, isolated on a flat field in a nice house. He made no noise, which aided to his benefit. However, when someone broke in to his house to loot, it ruined everything. His house was swarmed, but Ansel managed to escape. The burglar was not so lucky. This may have contributed to his fear of outsiders, but we may not know.


STRENGTHS: Ansel is quite useful in cooking and fixing cars. He is generally good at finding his way around, as well as weapon usage. He knows how to use a gun, as well as a bow. He is loyal to his group, and will do as he is asked, most of the time.


WEAKNESSES:He knows very little medical knowledge. A lot of higher-education things, for him, are out of reach and are thus not in his skill set. He is also quite untrusting of outsiders. However, although he is not smart, he has instincts. This can lead to a loss of temper a lot of the time, even when he is completely in the wrong. He may be physical if it goes far enough.


PERSONALITY(both good and bad):


Backpack:


-Bat (for melee)


-ammunition


-water


-pistol


- a map of the county (if he knows where he is).


CLOTHING: Jeans, a black long-sleeved t-shirt with the Titans logo (as was the only shirt available in his home that was clean).

[VaskarTheHunter]

Name: Vaskar Donashta


Gender: Male


Age: 24


Height: 6'2"


Weight: 172lbs


Description: wears self made samurai battle attire, wears a white and black bandana around his head along with an cloth patch tucked under, covering his right eye. His hairstyle consists of a long, back, spiked hair cut Wears a black leather over coat when it is needed and for his supplies, carries a large black military pack.


His samurai attire consists of a hard leather, sleeveless tunic, calf high black, leather combat boots. Loose fit combat pants modified to hold several daggers and a samurai sword clipped to the hip.


History: Vaskar had never been one to fit in when he was in high school. He wasn't popular, he wasn't cool. He wasn't even a geek. But he was more then familiar when it came to kendo, martial arts and the ways around most fire arms. His father had been teaching him these things since he was a kid. His father always seemed worried about something but never told him why he was doing these things. After high school and making enough money from two years on the military. He had purchased a motorcycle to stay on the road. Enjoying the long ride from coast to coast.


But one day he had stopped in a small city to refill his cooler and fuel tank. What he saw however was not friendly faces, but instead a hungry flesh eating horde. Now he rides the highways searching for survivors but always staying on the move. Because no matter where he went. Those things were there waiting.


Strengths: Trained in several martial arts styles, kendo, fencing and also well fitted with any fire arm he finds. His motorcycle is very agile and runs on less fuel than the average car. He has learned of few tricks about the creatures. Like how to trick them and escape from a bad situation.


Weaknesses: No matter how hard he tries. He can not sleep enough at night. Worried the horde will find him.


Personality: Good: Vaskar has always been a good hearted person, helping out those in need before the end. Now he searches for other survivors in need of help. But he can also be very quiet at times. Bad: However when push has come to shove. The sword hanging on his hip is no longer just an ornament. He will fight for his survival if he must.


Weapons: he carries a very high class samurai sword, longbow, break down spear, a glock 40(only if neccesary) throwing knives, and a large commando knife.


Clothes: My apologies I did explain this part in the second half of his description.

@KathleneWilliams2121 please review

Making some changes to make him more unique


1st: from weapons I'm taking away now and throwing knives


2nd: Since the situation of winter I will add onto the motorcycle he will also have a black muscle car or hummer modified for off road(your choice I can't decide between them)


As for his weapon the naginato samurai sword. For how he found it. Basically after it all started he found refuge in a dojo along with a Master of kendo. As they talked through the night the master came to liking Vaskar and as a gift to him on his journey, the master gave him the best sword he had. A pure damascus 9620 naginato. When he asked the master to go with him. The master explained that his place was there to protect his dojo.


@KathleneWilliams2121 please review again sorry for the inconvience.

@VaskarTheHunter


Two questions:

1. Do you actually know kendo IRL? Were striving for realism with this RP. The liberties you can take with your character are a bit dependent on stuff you're familiar with IRL. Take my character Holliday, he's by far the best shooter of the bunch and I can justify it with the 3 world shooting titles I hold IRL. Basically, If you want to have your character be a badass, you have to be pretty descriptive and know what the hell your talking about to do it.
   
2. How has he stayed alive solo? You can't easily pack much gear on a single motorcycle. He'd have to have a decent size vehicle. The muscle wouldnt work at all in the snow. He'd need the hummer so he could pull a trailer for his motorcycle otherwise he'd ditch it.
   

 

[tammynorthland]

Hummer idea is very solid


As for @Tombstone I have brought him up some of these points in which I'm assisting him with. Irl I am a gear head. I own a lifted 84 jeep locked up with winch solid steel bumpers custom low torque 4wheel drive low gearing. And quick pinned sways.


And a 13 gen coupe turbo tuned and suspension kit along with other goodies


In lament terms. Shit that makes the cars better. Thus my chara has a rzr for choice due to driveline and suspension and body that can be abused in any weather


Now correlating to the rp. Perhaps your chara should leave that cycle in storage for winter months andand stick with a hummer for the snow. Otherwise he might be using lamberfeeties. Catch with hummers..... fucking gas sluts. They average about 7 and although their tanks are fucking massive filling that fucker up with out a petrol pump would be a bitch. None the less he could get away with it but your driving should probably be limited in it due to those circumstances

To answer your questions one at a time.


1st yes I am almost a mastery level of kendo and several martial arts to include tai chi, karate, MMA, kick boxing, and fencing. Also I have spent 3 years in the military.


2nd every summer I go on a road trip with just my Yamaha V-Star and can pack enough gear on there including dried foods or MREs to last me two weeks at max. If he were to stick to traveling and stopping in small town search for supplies he would be able to survive about a week without having to search for more at a time depending on the amount he could retrieve at a time. As for other equipment most motorcycles can be fitted with saddle bags ranging from a pair to a stack of four to replace the passenger seat(which he doesn't need) Anyone that knows their way around their bike and can determine the amount of supplies someone needs to survive. Do note that he is alone. His portions of food, water, clothing and medical supplies can be shrank so that he can carry items in bulk instead of a bag full of clothes with a few cans of food. He has a spear change of clothes, his weapons, small med kit, two weeks worth of dried food, one qt. size canteen and two water jugs. That wouldn't take up much space in a saddle bag. Let alone 4.

[Bwahaha]

NAME: Ryan Natif


GENDER: Male


AGE: 35


DISCRIPTION: He's fairly tall.


http://slodive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/hairstyles-for-black-men/hairstyle-for-black-men.jpg


HISTORY: Ryan grew up in Texas. His father was obsessed with masculinity, to the point of not letting him learn how to read (he thought it was girly). He even brought Ryan to the woods from time to time, sometimes abandoning him to see if he'd make it. Eventually, Ryan ran away, joining a group home. He made good friends with an orphan named Sylvester, who was into sword fighting. Ryan came to love it too, and both boys got jobs and saved up until they could afford swords with detachable guards.


When they were eighteen, the boys moved away from the whole state, and from their pasts. Sylvester met a woman he was crazy about, and Ryan became a small-time actor. Sylvester had a little girl named Terra, who Ryan loved (like a niece) from the moment he first held her.


Terra's mother died when she was six, and Sylvester wasn't the same anymore. He had severe depression and completely refused to treat, or even acknowledge, it. He became neglectful of Terra.


Ryan treated the kid like his daughter, and loved her that much too. He was the one who taught her how to use swords, both the hand-and-a-half and the one-hander. He bought them for her. Eventually, her father walked out on her, and her grandparents took her in. Terra was happier after this, and she continued visiting him every day, after school. He was very close to her. They started a 'secret,' vegetable garden on his apartment's large balcony, and even went camping together once. Her grandparents had trusted him.


When the outbreak happened, fourteen-year-old Terra was in Ryan's apartment. Taking some of the camping equipment, both of their backpacks, and some twine for animal trapping, they set out for the woods, fearing the danger of the city. It was a bit boring, and sad (her grandparents' house had been overrun) but they kept each other company. Terra was very smart and mature for her age, and excelled at dark humor. She truly was a daughter to Ryan.


Terra died last week. Ryan's world shattered and, feeling he had nothing else to lose, he wandered back into the city. He couldn't take being alone and being in the woods he'd been in with Terra.


STRENGTHS: Ryan is fast, fairly strong, nimble, an expert with a sword, and great at animal trapping.


WEAKNESSES: Ryan can't shoot, and doesn't have, a gun. He prefers to travel light, which means he never stocks up on food. He used to have the issue of not being able to kill, but now his issue is not caring at all who lives or dies - including himself. He's reckless with his own life and very aggressive towards others.


PERSONALITY(both good and bad): Ryan is smart, patient, and kind. He's realistic, but (used to) still look on the bright side. Sometimes his patience and kindness get the better of him, and he ends up being walked on by someone else. He likes taking care of things, especially small children.


Since Terra's death, Ryan has had depression, and felt hopeless. He's reckless and doesn't care if he lives or dies, and has become aggressive. He hates the world for taking Terra away, and himself for letting it happen.


WEAPON: Ryan has two swords - a one-hander and a hand-an-a-half - on the same belt. They both have a guard that comes off when removed from the sheath at a certain angle.


CLOTHING: Being from the warmer Texas climate, Ryan always wears warm pants and long-sleeved shirts. He never removes his shirt, as he has a few scars from his father on his torso, and would rather not think about them.


OTHER: Ryan and Terra survived by trapping. They drained he animals' blood into their water bottles, then ate the animals.


Now, Ryan doesn't really have a plan for survival, but he has a vague idea to go to the garden he and Terra planted. He feels a need to take care of it.


Even at his most reckless, he never fully wants to die, leaving his survival instinct to always kick in at the last minute.
