That's a great idea - I don't believe anyone else has anything like that in this roleplay

Now some questions that may help move the plot forward from that :
1. Do you intend on killing him off soon?
2. Has Quincy killed to feed his brother? (I think it would be appropriate if this were the case - to really show Quincy's dedication to his brother)
3. What are some situations that it could go horribly wrong?

I don't know bout you guys but just off of that one plot twist you can create all sorts of limitless possibilities. If you guys are struggling coming up with a plot twist for your character I'd be more than happy to help. I spend 90% of my time evil plotting so i will be more than happy to help you.
Plot twist can be however minor, but they make all the difference!!!!

Mkayy those all sound great, well now when people come across your character if they happen to run into that situation they know your boundaries and limits with your characters! Thank you so much for contributing your ideas!

I hope to hear more! I am very interested - i know I'm not GM but if we're all a lil active in the ooc it benefits the roleplay.

;*smooches

P.S. Maria I was wondering if we were doing characters for hire in this roleplay? I was hoping to put up one of Benny's brothers.

My free time to post has been limited the past several days, as I noted it may be in this thread, due to vacation in California. However, I'll be returning home within the next 2-3 days, so I'll be able to post more after that, for sure. Also, I just posted.

RPGRosa wrote:I think it's important that we focus on the details of the roleplay, because that's what makes it the best. When we're all on the same page, the roleplay can be at its prime. Some suggestions for some of you who may feel stuck in this roleplay

•in one if Maria's posts for Andre, it is mentioned that there is a broadcast for a home in the hills that offers supplies and shelter. The broadcast is over the radio so anyone could've heard it- even your character!!!
•someone's always hunting, have your character hunt as well, maybe he/she will run into someone
•perhaps your character woke up with the house teeming with zombies and has to battle his/her way out.

These are just some suggestions. Remember if thou want your character to interact with someone in the roleplay - then take the intiative and make that happen. This is the Internet hunny, we ain't got time for shyness here.
:*smooches


I'd be more than willing to have Noah or Will meet up with other folks. Though, who Will may or may not meet up with also depends on what happens between him and Tara. I also have something planned for Noah, though I'd like to keep it quiet from anyone who doesn't have a character involved with his story until I reveal it in the RP. However, with that being said, anyone who would like to have their character meet up with Noah, you can PM me and I'd be more than happy to discuss this idea I have with you.
Check out Eastbound, a zombie apocalypse story I'm writing on my own.

I may actually get back to this, now that I'm here again. Stay tuned!

Sorry I haven't really been posting/haven't posted in a while- I was waiting for the last person in our group of post, but I decided to say screw it and posted anyway! ^_~ And I've also been a little busier this week than I expected to be, so I apologize. ;_; I shall try to be more active! I promise!

Now Aaron and Micah have dropped everyone off and are once more alone- not sure where to go next though.... S: Any ideas?

You are such a wonderful roleplayer, I always enjoy reading your posts. :3
I love the brothers, they're hilarious! I plan on moving one of my characters to try and ransack a hospital for medical supplies perhaps your charries could do the same?
Also, another idea is maybe their truck breaks? It offers a range of options, reliance on others, time to fix it, a mission for them to complete.

@Everyone BTW please you guys don't feel like I'm trying to boss you around. These are all suggestions, which could either be used, ignored or ignite your own idea!

Hey there, I'm just snooping around before bedtime and came across your RP.

Are you still accepting? Is there any character types in particular you're after for story/diversity sake?

Feel free to examine my profile. I am in two more role plays right this moment so I'm happy to play something a bit less involved like say a walker or someone who gets killed off rather quick.

It is alluded that your character is dropped off into safety and the brothers call out a radio channel to contact them on if needed be. The beauty of this roleplay is that you're given a setting and can create your own story line/plot. Looking forward to your future posts!

Just some clarity on the matter of infection where Tara and others are concerned:

IF contaminated or bitten - within a twenty minute span of the wound, transformation CAN be prevented. For bigger wounds such as large bites extreme measures will be taken: amputation, cauterization.

For smaller wounds such as Tara's case: bleach, rubbing alcohol, pure forms of hydrogen peroxide and antibiotics.

HOWEVER - characters who come close to turning in these cases will not escape the symptoms of reanimation:
-nausea
-dizziness
-fever
-extreme pain
-exhaustion
etcetc

after the symptoms have gone away you can decide for yourself whether your character is a carrier or not.

in some cases eyes will change color slightly.

thanks yall

Damn it, Maria. Your posts have got me feeling the feels and genuinely conflicted on what I should have Will do. Ultimately, I decided that he wasn't the type to leave someone behind, even under the circumstances.

Bravo. :)

I'm honored to be able to collaborate. With such an awesome writer! Figuring on having William and Tara bump heads in a couple of days. Ill leave the responsibility of Buster in your hands, poor thing is gonna be heartbroken - maybe he could even lead Will back to Tara

I'd be up for the possibility of Buster leading Will back to Tara. I'll be sure to keep an eye on her status and whatnot. Also, feel free to PM me when/if you want Buster to lead him back to her and I can work it into the next post that I make. (After the hypothetical PM, that is.)

Re: Perseverance: The Contagion

A couple questions.

First, is there a limit to the number of characters one can play, or is it just a 'as many as you can play' kind of thing? I'm not necessarily planning on bringing in a new character just yet, but I'm thinking about it.

As this is a zombie RP, player characters are going to die - or at least I'd hope so, based purely from a storyteller's standpoint and the standpoint of realism. One of Maria's characters is on the brink, and I've entertained the possibility of killing off one of mine. (which may or may not be related to me possibly bringing in another character)

That being said, I'm wondering (purely out of curiosity) what we do with our characters afterwards? If they're undead, I understand they can still be "played", but if they're actually dead dead, do they remain on the character list unchanged, do we leave them and change their profiles to say that they are dead, or would they be put in the abandoned character list?

Based on what I see on the character list, the abandoned character list seems to suggest that they can still be played, only by someone else. Obviously, if your character is completely dead, that option is out of the window.

@Messiah ive actually thought of killing one of my twins off sometime in the future. I do not believe there is a limit on how many characters your allowed to play. I think if you plan on your character being dead dead then maybe just change the profile saying that their dead but at the sametime i think that its up to the person playing the character. Hope that helps a little :)
