So someone had the brilliant idea of doing a zombie survival RP going on inspired by a the ever intrepid Mav's tweet, and I decided to play along. Seeing as how I'm still waiting word on this thing, I took it upon myself to lay down some ground rules, mostly pertaining to how characters work.
First off, your guys (or gals) name. Pretty self explanatory.
Second, their age. I know most people won't be going for the ancient scraggely 90 year old man or the local toddler, but keep in mind that in most scenario's, people like them would of been toast before this RP began. Keep it marginally realistic.
General Appearance: As in, what your character looks like. Put it all in (not clothing, but physical appearance) Other categories such as Height, Build, Eyes, Skin and Hair Colour help flesh out the appearance and make it easy to understand. General Appearance is the biggie.
Biography/History: Your character's history. Just a basic overview here, and we're not asking for Mr. Incredible who has been fighting zombies for 50 years back when the Milkmen came by every morning to deliver purple icecream or something.
Your characters skillset: Please, for the love of all that is holy, keep it reasonable. Your character should not be able to leap across tall buildings, hack into the central mainframe while holding off hordes of the undead. That is boring to read about and makes for a boring god-modded character. There are no defined skills here, but feel free to look at skills from games such as Fallout, so feel free to get ideas. (Also remember, there are no laser rifles in real life, so keep that in mind when referring to such sources.) Remember, There is absolutely no definitions to what skills your character may or may not possess ,these are just basic ideas a person may draw inspiration from and provide examples Remember, keep it reasonable and try to stay away from being a jack of all trades. I wouldn't expect a person who happens to be a lumberjack who's really good at introducing zombies to his ax be a wizard on the computer.
That's all for now folks. If Pim and Big do what I asked em to do, I may get some criticisms and not OP highjacking.
