Introduction
Spring of 2013
They said the world would end in the winter of 2012, and in someways it did. No one knows exactly how it got started, but in the winter of 2012 something got to us, maybe it was a superbug, maybe it was man made, or maybe God just got fed up with us, but for whatever reason, the dead stopped being dead. The people who were dead or dying in the hospital suddenly turned into, well, zombies, for lack of a better word. Soon the hospitals were overrun with them, then the cities, and within a couple of months entire states were virtually gone.
If you were lucky, or some would say unlucky, enough to survive, it meant that you either ran away, which most of us did, or you stayed put and fortified your home or some other building. It's thanks to a group of men and women who didn't run away that we have Fort Grace to call home now. It began as a fortified super-store, then spread to include an entire city block, and now we have a small city to call home. Walls were put up, guns passed around. Within the walls of Fort Grace, you're safe, for the most part. Occasionally the dead get in and cause some trouble, but they're quickly taken care of. People passing by can come inside, but if they've been bitten, or are very sick, they're either killed or left outside.
This is the law of the land now.
Eventually the mayor of Fort Grace, which is to say the man who started it all, got his people together and made a few plans. Now we have electricity, if only in meager amounts, and thanks to this we have a radio station working, and we're calling out to other survivors. Not many people have showed up though. And now the mayor and his men have a new idea. They've decided to send out groups of people in armored vehicles to look for survivors, as well as supplies.
“We have farms for food,” the mayor said in a speech, “We have the means to keep our home going for some time yet, but there are not that many of us, truth be told. We need help, we need hope. And so, I am asking for those who are willing and able to volunteer for a little mission...”
And this is where we come in. You and I, we're some of the people who volunteered for this crazy mission. We've been given a 'tank,' a school bus that's been heavily modified. Armor, guns, a more powerful engine, tires that will work even if they go flat, the works. We're heading west, to try and find survivors, and to try and survive ourselves...
-=-=-=
Alright, so basically this is a zombie survival roleplay, set something like four months after the zombies came around. These zombies are the classic Romero kind, slow, stupid, but there are an endless number of them. But of course, aside from zombies there are other humans to worry about as well, bandits and such.
Should you join, you'll become a member of a small group of men and women selected to go out looking for supplies and survivors, which is the basic plot of this roleplay. Along the way the group might make a few interesting discovers, and their lives will be threatened many times.
If you're interested, just fill out the character sheet below-
Name: (name of your character)
Nickname: (any other name your character might be called)
Age: (age of your character)
Time in Fort Grace: (have they been there a few days, weeks, a month maybe?)
Appearance: (pics are fine, but please at a little description as well. Real or anime, doesn't matter)

Skills: (was your character once a medic, or a school teacher? If they have any useful skills or knowledge, list it here)
History: (who was your character just a few months ago? How have they survived? What are their plans? And anything else you'd like to put here)
Other: (anything else you'd like to add about your character)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors

"C'mon, everyone is taking this way too heavy. Yes, she pointed a gun, and yes she should learn to control her emotions. But the fact is that she didn't shoot, let's just drop it and continue this damned mission." Hood dropped himself on his seat, glaring at Spike. "Just calm down, relax. We have enough trouble as it is." He pointed with his hand at the door, a zombie slamming at it wanting flesh, blood. Hood closed his eyes, once more letting his head drop on the side of the bus.

She hadn't liked the fact that the bus had stopped though, she waited until the arguing had seemed to stop for the most part before she stated, "are we just gonna get out here, or are we gonna get going from this spot?" Though she then saw Goth go up to the door and she sighed a mumbled something under her breath thinking, "well i guess we're not leaving then," though she was hoping they were. If they weren't exactly at their place yet, why the hell would they need to get out, they could just run over whatever zombies was outside the bus, easy and fast.

But this wasn't the case, as it turned out. She wanted off the bus, she was actually going to take on the world by herself, it seemed. Now he was hearing that the others wanted to go, they were ready to leave because of the undead all around him.
"...strike one." Spike says quietly.
Quickly, too quickly for a simple chef, his revolver is in his hand and he fires off a shot at the entrance. The bullet punches a small hole, first through the thick plastic window of the bus door, then through the head of the zombie outside. It falls backwards, but before it even hits the ground Spike has his revolver holstered and has turned back to his seat. He glaces back at Goth, then takes the keys and gets the engine going again. A moment later they are plowing through the dozen or so zombies that had surrounded them, but he just keeps looking forward as they begin to gain speed. He'd been moving slowly at first, getting a feel for the tank, but now he was letting the leash out a bit.
"Ten minutes and we'll be at the pharmacy." He announces, in a loud voice, so that everyone can hear him.
(if anyone wants to speed it up and get us to the pharmacy in the next few posts be my guest, otherwise i'll get us there in my next one)

He wasn't quite sure why he was helping ghost, the boy was obviously handy on his own. Then again, losing a member of the team now would be a waste. He cleared his mind of these thoughts slamming the butt of the rifle into the face of a zombie before shoving the barrel into another ones eye socket and pulling the trigger going straight through the back of it's skull into the forehead of another. His training was being put to the test now, never had he really had to work at killing something, but with the growing amount of zombies he figured he'd have to be more then just range support.

"I'm heading inside. whatever you do, don't let them," Spike pauses for a moment to fire off the remaining six shots of his revolver, taking out one zombie per shot, "get on the tank." in the next moment both his guns went away, back into their holsters, and he had his trusty machete in his hand. With every step he either took down another zombie or had to not trip over one of them left in the wake of Luke and Ghost.
Soon he was at the door of the pharmacy. The glass was broken and all that was left was the metal framework of the door, which was a bad sign. It was easy enough for him to reach through to the other side and unlock, then he was inside. It was at once clear that they had not been the first to look at this place for supplies. If he had to guess, he'd say that the people of Fort Grace had already worked the place over. But then, why would the Mayor try and make sure we came by here? Spike wonders to himself, as he begins to look around, senses alert, Maybe he left something behind? But what are the chances that it would still be here?
Setting

Before Goth could get off, Spike parked the bus, even the E brake was on Parking while in a zombie apocalypse, real smart Spike She thought to herself, then getting off after Spike and running through the crowd of zombies, and into the pharmacy after Spike, leaving Ghost and Luke to have fun on their own. “So Spike, why the hell are we here again, this place I stripped dry, maybe we could fine one or two pain pills laying on the floor, but that’s probably all.” Goth said, before going more into the pharmacy, and checking the aisles for anything left, or zombies to kill.
Goth went into one of the bathrooms, just to check even if the first aid kit was in their, and it was. “Sweet…” As she picked the first aid kit up, it seemed like that triggered the zombies, but they were already coming after her. As she turned around, a zombie was right behind her, all she did was just punch it knocking it down, and then stomped on its neck, but more kept coming. “Fuck!” She yelled out, as she grabbed one of her pistols, only being able to grab on because of how close the zombies were. By now, zombies were coming into the pharmacy from everywhere, Spike could probably get out easily, but Kurami would have to fight to get out of here alive.
By now, Goth had fired off a couple shots, each one getting a kill each, her pistols werent just regular, she had modified them to have more firepower, but they made a shit load of noise, that even if you were outide of the pharmacy, you would hear the gunshots.
[OOC: Sorry it took me so long to post, i was waiting for the others.]
