Perseverance: The Contagion

[mariamaeoccheto]

Welcome to the fight!


Some of you may know myself, Echo_Rose and WinterWhisperz from The Black City. Some of you may be complete strangers, but hell, you're all welcome here.

Feel free to ask questions and voice concerns here, this is used for OOC communication and clarification on anything and anything you see fit. We hope to have plenty of character submissions soon and will be sending out ads and PMs.

Save me a spot please! :D

So, I'm definitely interested in this. I'm a big fan of zombie stuff and I've been looking for some zombie RP on here. Maybe not hard enough. Anyway! I'd like to join up. I do have a question, though. Actually, more than one, but I'm derping and can't remember what the others are. I think this is my biggest question anyway.

Approximately how long after the first infection does the beginning of this take place?

[Echo_Rose]

@Messiah glad to have your interest! As for your question I am not sure because we didn't talk about that last night but once Maria gets on ill ask her and we will get back to you :)

@Arik glad to have you aboard :)

[Echo_Rose]

Okay its currently present day and its been six months since the outbreak

Oddly enough, that's how this entire RP came about! Myself, Echo and Winter were discussing how we've wanted to be involved with a zombie storyline for so long but many of them fell so short. Finally I decided to take it into my own hands and with the help of my girls we made it happen!

The infection touched down around Thanksgiving in 2012. We're six months in now, so May 2013.

Hey Maria

Finally a good zombie RP and a GM I know I can trust.

I've sent my character.

[Arik223]

Were all in the same City-Town area correct?

[mariamaeoccheto]

Correct! I've approved all characters so everyone is free to post now. :D

[ThrillerNight]

I am totally in. I've always wanted to do a zombie-themed RP, and there are people on this one that I actually trust to make it good! Hallelujah! :D

EDIT:: Submitted them! Although their bio's and stuff aren't quiet finished yet...

[leisurelyatwar]

Maria would it be too much if I asked you to make an avvie for Levy in your spare moments? I intend on making another charrie, most likely a girl. Knowing me I'll end up making a guy as well.

[Grahf]

Hey, I got that message that one of you sent out about this, and it seems this Rp has some awesome potential. If it's not too late, and you don't mind my rather....odd way of doing things, I would love to join.

I say odd, because for the most part I do not play nice people.

It's not too late at all! We're still recruiting! Your quirky ways are welcome.

@Rosa no problem bitty, I gotcha'.

[Messiah]

I have another question. Are all these characters going to end up being in the same group? Because with the number there is now, I can foresee it being really clunky and difficult to RP. Just curious how people were thinking this was going to play out.

[Echo_Rose]

I know my characters wont be interested in being in a big group, Z might feel bad for others but she will always listen to Addi and Addi wouldn't really trust anyone that she doesn't know.

[ThrillerNight]

Same for my characters- Micah might help people out, but Aaron would never let the two of them get stuck with a large group to care for. (Although if any one or two people managed to ingratiate themselves to Micah, I could see him forcing his brother to help them...)


Also- unrelated to thee above- but if anyone has any interest in doing something plot-y with my characters, just drop me a pm and let me know cuz I'm open to pretty much anything- but I'm not really that good about thinking up stuff on my own. P;

[Messiah]

Alrighty. Good to know. I just found it hard to imagine all these characters being in one group and have it still be a cohesive group.

That being said, I too would like to do plot stuff with anyone who is willing. My character is on a search for her daughter. It wouldn't be much, but it may be a chance for characters to bond and get closer to one another, which I think is a plus. And maybe the people who go on this little trip together end up staying in the same small group. Maybe?

P.S. If you're interested, you can also PM me.

[mariamaeoccheto]

No no. Tara strays off even from people she knows.

The intent of this RP was not to bind together a group but to even form rivalries amongst one another and let survival instincts prove superior. But I did make the location in Chesapeake so they're all bound to see each other at some point.

I'm plotting but if anyone wants to include Andre or Tara in their storylines you can PM me!

Thanks everyone. Great job so far!

[boultinator93]

Well im planning on having my character continue onto New York to try and find his family eventually so if anyone wants to join in on the journey just send me a message

[mariamaeoccheto]

Just wanted to take a minute to express my appreciation for all of you, your participation, cooperation, and superb attention to detail.



I'm going to showcase some of my favorite/important pieces here...

1. "The girl could be one of two things, either a helpless victim of the outbreak or she belonged to one of those post apocalyptic gangs that killed the helpless and raided everything they had." -Arik223 as Zalt Fox

2. "With a heavy overswing, he brought the bat down on its head, sending blood and brain matter out." -Messiah as Noah Winters

3. "After about twenty minutes of walking he reached the edge of the town, there was a gas station to his left, it looked like it had seen a bit of action, there was blood splattered on the inside of the windows, bullet holes were in the walls and a queue of cars that were outside it leading down the road. Most were empty but some had decaying bodies of the victims of the apocalypse." -boultinator93 as Daniel Taylor

4. "What in the actual fuck Tonto?!" -ThrillerNight as Aaron McCullough

5. "A thud above her made her jump out of her sleep, aiming the gun in the empty space of air before her." -RPGRosa as Levy Carter

6. "Oh I was high girl, I was fucking tripping when I saw the first walking corpse. It was messed up." -Echo_Rose as Adelaide Korbeil

7. "Sophia had always had a fascination for abandoned places and houses where nature had taken over. So living in a mansion like this felt like a sort of twisted dream." -orchestraofwolves as Sophia Londen

8."Zach had gotten bit in the stomach, and as amputating his stomach wasn't an option, Zach told Christian that he wanted him to kill him. And after a while of trying hard not to, he eventually decided it was better than Zach going through the process. So, as Charlotte held Hannah back, trying to avoid her claws, screaming, and biting. Christian had pointed the gun at his head, Hannah starting to sob, and -

The sound of one of the boys voices dragged her back from the past, and into reality." -xxtensionxx as Hannah Kennedy
