Deadmans Playground

Introduction

This is a roleplay thread for people who are serious about roleplaying. The zombie setting is more “The Walking Dead” Than “Left 4 Dead” That is, it's not a story about zombies being killed, but about the PEOPLE killing the zombies, how they feel, what are their thoughts while doing it. Not looking for some long internal monologue, something more than “I see three zombies come around the corner. I shoot two in the head and throw my knife at the third.”. Give it some feeling, please. And it's shouldn't even be all about the people killing zombies. It's also about the struggle for survival, the interaction with other survivors. This is what this RP is about is for.

The infection started in China. The first videos and photos that quickly spread across the web were all dismissed at a ploy, China trying to bait other countries to bring there militaries into some trap. By the time people started believing it, it had spread to across all of Asia. Within days it had reached Europe. Martial law was declared. USA has closed it's borders and international flights. However, (in the USA) most people still go about their daily lives as usual. The status quo has not been shaken. Yet.






This roleplay takes place in New York City. In your bio, specify what borough you're in. Just for reference, the 4 boroughs are: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx. (We'll leave out Staten Island for simplicities sake.) Keep your experiences location-wise making sense. i.e. don't encounter a zombie hoard that's in Queens, while you're in Brooklyn.

I will be posting “News reports” occasionally, about whats happening in the city/state/country. Your character doesn't automatically know this. Have them hear it on the radio or see it on TV.

Toggle Rules

1. Please post relatively frequently. Three times a week at least

2. If you can't post for an extended period of time let us know please!

3.If you put your character in a situation where they interact with another player, make sure you can reply in a timely manner. Don't just start a conversation and then not post for a week

4. Again, no short posts. At least 2 paragraphs. EXCEPTION: when interacting with other players, short posts are acceptable.

5. Put some feeling into your posts. Let us feel what your characters feel. Tell us what they're thinking. This can very easily add some depth and length.

PM me “Smells like zombiez” so I know you read this

6. Be descriptive! We don't need to know what the bathroom's wallpaper looks like but that abandoned store you entered, what does it looks like? Are there shelves and carts overturned, or is it in pristine condition as if no one ever entered it. Does that rotting corpses stench make you gag?

7. Language: you can curse, but not every three words. At least four words in between.

Characters


When you begin, you're some average Joe. You may be a doctor, working the ER, witnessing first hand the damage hysteria does to people. Or a teenager, who, in the face of sociopolitical breakdown, realizes how petty their problems seem. Or a police officer, who puts their life on the line to prevent a group of zombies from entering your city.


The main point is, you're not a gun toting, stab-zombies-in-the-head, motorcycle riding, bad-ass. Yet.


The average person doesn't own a gun. Your character is no different. They shouldn't start with a gun unless it makes sense, like a police officer. Once the need to carry a gun arises, they shouldn't have too much trouble finding one.
