The world has been in a state of chaos for about 60 years now. Very few people remember a time before the Unbecoming and even fewer are willing to share their knowledge of that world. Our protagonists are going to take a journey across the world to discover a cure, and maybe learn the dark secret behind this world's destruction as well….
However, the world has changed quite a bit, and getting answers is going to be harder than it looks. Also the zombies.
Zombie rules are similar to walking dead-ish, you automatically have the virus and when you die you come back as a bloodthirsty monster. But you can also get infected if you get bitted by one and are exposed to jazz hands zombie venom that makes you slowly deteriorate. There isn't any other way to spread it… for now mwa ha ha. Look I'm the author I get to be evil.

This is probably gonna be rated about Mature-ish rated? I'd prefer if we were all adults but like I'm not going to stop minors from joining unless they're like 13-14 ish or younger I guess, I'll still recommend you don't join unless you can handle more mature themes tho
Gore is inevitable.
Swearing is all good.
Shipping is fine just don't make the age gap creepy, like if they're an adult 3-4 years at most and DO NOT ship a minor character with an adult unless it's like a 1 year age difference of like 17/18 and even then, you're on thin fucking ice.
You caaaan do NSFW stuff but like. Go to the DMs if you seriously wanna roleplay that but otherwise please don't let it clog up the plot. And if you're a minor who really wants to do this roleplay…. ehhh, please don't get involved in the 18+ stuff? It'll squick me out a lot and…. eugh. Just please don't.
These are adult characters who will probably be dealing with fantasy and realistic problems alike and there will be more mature and darker situations. If you're not emotionally prepared to deal with that please don't join.
Don't be a bigoted asshole or I'll smash your kneecaps in.
For the love of God don't bring drama or discourse into this. If you don't like someone in this RP either leave your personal beef alone or don't join.
And have fun!
Bumping this up a little.
(Hey, I’m interested in the protégés best friend/crush role. I’m young and new to rp, but I think I can handle something like this, plus, you’ve laid out the rules pretty well, so I know what to do if things go 18+. I just wanted to claim that role before I went to sleep)
(Oh wow this looks extremely fun, mind if I hop in as that lesbian badass mechanic?)
(Could I be the tech junkie?)
(Absolutely my good fellow!)
(I'm probably going to take the mentor role if like two more ppl join and it still isn't taken just because like partially plot, partially I just feel like not many people are gonna go for that character. Just a hunch.)
(i like how this looks, mind if i join? Lesbian Survivor?)
(yo can i take the starry-eyed protege?)
(And that makes me the mentor character unless like someone else immediately wants it lmao.)
(sick! any preference on gender for the character for my slot or just whatever we'd enjoy?)
(Whatever you want! Go crazy.)
(cool. am i good to put up my character now?)
(Whenever you want is fine, just make sure you've filled out the template pretty well-detailed.)
(Yesss thank you :D )
Name: Nicole (Nikki/Nick) Walker
Age: 23
Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her
Orientation: Raging lesbian gal
Race/Ethnicity: She's not completely sure, but based on her appearance, she guesses mostly Irish or something similar
Appearance: Flaming auburn hair that she keeps cut in a style similar to a pixie cut with very short sides, pale skin dotted with freckles and ever-changing hazel eyes, she definitely looks interesting. With her looks, she also can look intimidating with her 5'10" height and lean but strong body that makes it clear she's used to working with her hands. Most of the time, she's found wearing some sort of cutoff shirt and practical pants, paired with well-fitting work boots (Her most prized possession) and a leather jacket if it's cold.
Personality: She can come off as someone who only cares about herself when she first meets people, but it doesn't take her long to warm up. When she gets used to people it's clear that she is a very protective person and would do anything to keep her companions safe, but she's also a pretty fun and chill person to be around. Gives off an air of 'talk to me about anything' and really can act sort of like the group mother keeping everyone safe. The only time no one should talk to her is when she's killing zombies, she is ruthless then and will do whatever it takes to keep non-zombies safe (Even if she despises someone, she knows no one should have to become that) (More will come out in the rp)
Brief background: Her mother abandoned her father and her two years after she was born and she was raised learning how to fix basically anything mechanical. Only a few years ago her father died and she ran instead of forcing herself to kill him.
Skills: Fixing almost anything as long as it works because of mechanical means, she's best with vehicles and engines though.
Other: Secretly, she has always wanted to meet her mother if she is still alive
(Quick question, is this group already working together or are they meeting along the way?)
(And honestly I'd think that some of the group would already know each other but it's also valid to have them meet along the way.)
(Could I join as the mercenary?)
