Another Zombie Game OOC

The title implies so much.

Irish Wolf here and I’m trying my hand at another zombie game. Now I know most of the zombie games out there are set in the modern day, set during the outbreak or maybe a few years after zombies take over. I’ve also noticed that theres a new tread of making zombie game set in medieval Europe. However, I’m not taking either of those routes. That’s right, Irish Wolf is setting his game in…..World War 2, in the Pacific.

So heres the storyline; on the evening of February 27th, 1942, DD-163 USS Swinburne, an old four stacker destroyer in the United States Asiatic Fleet, is running again. Almost two weeks ago, they managed to sneak near Singapore and pull a handful of British soldiers from the city before racing to join the fleet. After the defeat of ABDA (American-British-Dutch-Australian) fleet in the Battle of the Java Sea, the ship is cutoff from her sisters and their retreat towards Surabaya, her captain sails north along Sumatra in an attempt to make port in Ceylon.

Two days later, in the early evening hours of March 1st, USS Swinburne is spotting by a Japanese submarine and torpedoed. A handful of survivors (sailors, naval nurses or British soldiers from the Suffolk regiment) manage to get into a life raft and drift away into the night. Come morning, they wash up on the shores of a smallish island (I’m gonna make one up, called Jacob’s Island), without weapons or food. Things wouldn’t be so bad, accept for the fact that a force of Japanese troops that occupied the small island in order to claim the oilrig.

Just to make matters worst, one of the new wells that was dug to supply the Imperial Army soldiers with water happened to contaminated with the Solanum virus. A majority of the garrison of four hundred twenty-three men and the one hundred Korean laborers has been turned into flesh-eating undead over a week ago, save for a handful of survivors hiding in the jungle.



So hows this all gonna work out? Well we’ll start off with the Americans/Brits waking up on the beach and go from there. Some point shortly afterwards, they’ll meet up with the Japanese and then a few zombies. The following would be survival, where the best chance would lay in returning to the oilrig to collect weapons and ammo. Because the Allies wouldn’t have any weapons, we’ll be using all Japanese arms.

Mine

Name: Tomas Sinclair

Age: 28

Gender: male

Nationality: American

Appearance: Tom is a small guy, standing maybe five feet and four inches tall. He also has a scrawny frame, with a long, thin face, which when someone looks at his large blue eyes and slight buck teeth, makes him look a rodent. He wears a small pair of wire-rimmed glasses, that only makes his eyes look bigger. The top of his head is covered in thin, wispy, light blond hair. His skin is very pale, mostly because he rarely comes above deck during the day and spends as much time as he near the boilers. At the time of the sinking of USS Swinburne, he was wearing dungarees (boot-cut denim jeans with a light blue cambric shirt).

Branch of service: Navy

Rank: Seaman, Engineering Division, Fireman

Weapons: none

Bio: Tom was born in Massachusetts, near the city of Boston. His father was always hitting him and unable to bulk up enough to fight back, he developed the ability to move around unseen. When he was seventeen years old, he left home and joined the navy. After a few years sailing in the Atlantic, his anti-social behavior got him transferred to where the navy kept the rest of the dredges, the Asiatic Fleet. In 1937 he was transferred to USS Swinburne. There he continued to refuse to interact with the rest of the crew, only left the boilers to eat and sleep (which really depended on the weather, on clear night he would find a nook to sleep on up on deck but of it was stormy, he would end up sleeping near the boiler).

Tom has been passed over for promotion many many times in the past eleven years and it doesn't really bother him. Just so long as he gets left alone, everything is right in his world. Because he was only seen briefly, seemed to nest in the bowls of the ship and his appearance, the rest of the crew took to calling him Mouse.

Name: Samuel Erickson

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Nationality: British

Appearance: Samuel is about the casual male standing at nearly five foot eleven inches. A slightly muscular build weighing at only about one hundred seventy-six lbs. His facial features roughened as he saw the true meaning of war. His brown hair was cut to only two inch on end. He is rather tanned from remaining under the sun for so long. His eyes are a solid brown, matching the color of his hair. When the ship sunk he was found wearing his British uniform.

Branch of service: Army, Infantry

Rank: Private, Suffolk Regiment, Rifleman

Weapons: None?

Bio: Samuel was born in Stockport. His father is actually the one who took him out and taught him how to shoot a rifle. It did not take long for the parents to see he loved to shoot, and he was already well built for it by the age of fifteen. Sure enough he was drafted in 1936 to train for the Army and be one of its soldiers. In 1938 he was sent out to aid in battle, he was only eighteen at the time. Four years of his life was spent fighting, trying to survive. January 26th, Samuel made it to the port of Singapore. He bunkered down at that location until February 13th, an American ship took him and a few others up. It always kept him on edge, to remain on a boat. He was never one to sail across the seas, so vulnerable with no exit. His worst nightmare was to be stuck on a boat, with submarines lurking about.

He was moved on to the USS Swinburne. His hopes were that this ship was moving back to safety, somewhere he could actually be able to return to home. It was a June 22nd, 1940, he got mail from his father. The news was not well, his mother had fallen ill. No mail came after that, and he prayed to return home with them both safe. But on March 1st, his nightmare was well realized.


Hope that Bio is sufficient..

Name: Ishito Konmichi

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Nationality: Japanese

Appearance: Hollow eyed and war weary. He styles himself with thick but stylish mustache and always keeps his officers uniform in pristine condition. This of course includes his officers sword. The strain of war and leadership has prematurely grayed parts of his hair. He is muscular and well built. Standing at 5ft 10 inches and weighing 186 pounds of pure muscle.

Branch of service: Imperial Army

Rank: Captain

Weapons: Katana, cleaned and in perfect condition / 1 Typ94 8mm, 2 rounds left / 1 Type 99 rifle, 13 shots left

Bio: Ishito comes from a military family where each son is expected to serve in the Imperial army and serve with honor and bravery unparalleled. They have been doing this for hundreds of years. Ishito quickly rose through the ranks in smaller conflicts until by the time WW2 rolled around he was a captain. He is against many of the decisions of his higher ups and has been secretly holding thoughts against the Japanese forces since his involvement in the Rape at Nanking in 1937. He is honor bound and loyal though, he will fight to death for his country. He was in command of a platoon on Jacobs Island when the virus broke out. He and a few survivors managed to escape from the base into the jungle, however since then his men have been picked off one by one. Now he is the only survivor of his platoon. He believes he has failed his soldiers and brought disgrace upon himself. He has been on a mission to kill the infected and rescue any survivors that might be left.

Samuel Erickson looks like a fine character. I'll wait until we get a few more (and hopefully a Japanese one) to start the IC. Hopefully it will be open tonight.

Posted too soon, just noticed the second character, reading now.

Ishito Konmichi appears to be in good order, just a couple more characters and we'll be in business.

No one else? Come on, zombies, world war 2, good times for all.

yeah. Kill ze zombies on the island????? some brain chewing fun? XD I fail at puns

Name: Keith Parker

Age: 48

Gender: Male

Nationality: American

Appearance: Stands 5'9'' with green eyes, blond hair, and skinny bones. He usually slouches, as though he were carrying a gigantic pack on his back, or as if he had not slept since he had been born. He is found in his Navy-issue flightsuit and floppy black cowboy hat from Colorado, as well as boots and his standard-issue Pilot's Survival Kit slung over his shoulder.

Branch of service: US Army Air Corps, 3rd Wing, 3rd Attack Group, 8th Attack Squadron

Rank: Captain

Weapons: One rusty Colt M1911A1 with a single-stack magazine inserted and a round in the chamber, giving him a total of 8 cartridges

Bio: Born and raised in a small Colorado mining town as the youngest of 11 children born to an aging American Civil War veteran. Worked the mines and attended a one-room schoolhouse until the Great War came around, during which he enlisted for the Air Corps and was selected due to his previous experience flying a crop duster on the family farm. Flew with the Lafayette Escadrille over France and got 8 kills in the 2 years he was there. Saw first-hand the futility of dated tactics combined with new technology during the 2 times he was shot down over No Man's Land. After he came back home, he watched his family die along with the town's economy, and moved out to Boulder with his childhood sweetheart, where they were married and had 4 children. He re-enlisted after the domestic declaration of war with the new-and-improved U.S. Army Air Corps and began flying combat missions during the battle in Bataan. Eventually, he found himself galvanized to the U.S. Navy on the brink of the battle of the Java Sea, during which a crippling plane wound forced him onto the island.

Interesting, I like him dig. Seems you and me are going to be by ourselves against this zombie hoard. May god have mercy on our souls lol

I don't remember listing the US Army as a branch of service to play as......however I'll let it pass this time, seeing as it's a reasonable way to work a Junior Birdman in.

Name: Janet Carlson

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Nationality: Australian

Appearance: Slender with a tanner complexion, and gently curled honey auburn hair with complementing dark green eyes. Janet comes from a more outdoorsy family, and is a bit more toned that other nurses because of it. She wears her Army uniform with pride, and usually keeps it impeccably clean.

Branch of service: AANS (Australian Army Nursing Service)

Rank:Lieutenant/Matron (Depends the year. Australia switched rankings from their old system to the British/American army ranking system in either early 1942 or early 1943. I’ve been getting two different dates, so I just put both, which ever is fine.)

Weapons: Medical knowledge and equipment. No standard issued weapons, but has experience with shooting rifles.

Bio: Janet Carlson is the only daughter of prominent and jovial Australian merchant Willis Carlson (A very kind and light hearted man with a love for the great outdoors, and a keen business mind). Growing up on a decent size estate in Queensland Australia with six big burly older brothers, Janet enjoyed a rather outdoorsy home life, learning how to ride horses and shoot for sport. Her mother, never very fond of her daughter’s habits, overcompensated for this in her teenage years by dragging the spunky and outdoorsy girl around the Australian high society social circles with rich matronly feminine influences. The result was Janet becoming an off mix of feminine manners and habits, with accompanying skills of male outdoorsmanship.

When the War Broke out in 1939, all seven of the Carlson siblings joined up, Janet included, who joined the AANS at 18. After three years, Janet is a seasoned and well trained nurse. She started on the USS Swinburne as a rescue from her former ship that had been sunk by a Japanese Destroyer. She was one of twelve survivors. After that incident, Janet was changed, less jovial, and harbouring a much deeper hatred for the Japs.
