Introduction
Plot description: Instead of being killed or punished by the mafia's regular standards, etc. -- these humans are thrown onto an island. An island solely populated with zombies. Ever seen Death Race? Where people in prison must race and win so many times to be released? Well, what if it's something similar like that? And whoever survives the longest supposedly will be transported back to the safe haven of the outside world. (Which isn't necessarily safe for them either ...) {Plot description credit to Ronnie.}
Plot Notes: The zombies are strictly on the island, and have not spread to the general world. Other land is very, very far away and it would be difficult for characters to simply swim somewhere else. The zombies are not typically very fast, nor can they climb very well and they certainly can't swim. I'd like to keep the zombies classic, but there might be some "super-zombies" somewhere down the line. Characters can be any of the following: members of the mafia that somehow came to need to be punished, enemies of the mafia, zombies (cannot be 'good' or have rational thinking processes, must have a 'craving for flesh/brains', cannot talk much more than groaning, cannot physically or mentally communicate with anyone - so I guess this might be pointless aside from the fighting), wild animals found on the island (can have ways of communicating). Characters CAN have 'super powers'/abilities OR just be regular every-day people. There are places to rest and get food or weapons, but they won't last forever.

Re: [OOC] Zombie Island: Mafia Punishment
Sorry I've been away; I have no internet on my home computer. I'll be on ASAP.
Re: [OOC] Zombie Island: Mafia Punishment
I'm interested as it's got a sorta Battle Royale vibe which is always a plus. Although did the Mafia create the zombies or were they made by other people? Is it like Jurassic Park in that it was originally a good idea, which got destroyed. I know lots of questions here, but I am interested and like knowing what I'm entering into. Thanks in advance :).
Re: [OOC] Zombie Island: Mafia Punishment

After I submit my own, I would prefer at least one or two more people before starting the roleplay. I'm trying to recruit as we speak. It's difficult. Dx

It was long, wasn't it? xD I'm still doing mine, and I'm only about halfway done. But it makes me feel more comfortable with my character.

Plot sounds really interesting, and I'm really interested.
Forum RP, I guess. The roleplay takes place in "Posting" (which will be visible after you submit a character).
Anyway, I'm glad you're interested! I'm super excited for this. I've played out this plot before, but never made it into a group RP. So, hopefully it'll eventually take off.
