It's autumn at Livingston University, a school in a decent-sized college town in North Carolina. Cold and flu season are rolling around, so it's expected that students will start getting sick en masse, living in close quarters. However, some of the students have been falling ill with something strange. While it seemed like a flu outbreak at first because of some of the starting symptoms of disease, students and faculty quickly learned that was not the case, and this would in fact be something far worse. But this is just the beginning. The outside world, too, is facing an outbreak of a zombie virus, so it's up to our characters to survive and do what they can to help stop the virus.
This RP will contain violence and swearing, so don't join if those make you uncomfortable.
Rules: Same as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules basically. I'm pretty relaxed. Just be nice and help us all have a good time. One-liners are generally bad (but a short response is fine as long as it is easy to respond to in return). Don't make the story revolve around your character alone. Ask before adding any major plot twists (PM me if needed). And that should be it! I will post a template shortly.
Also, it is perfectly okay if you have multiple characters (I will limit it to 2 for now, and depending on how many people join, I may bump it up). Feel free to kill off [your own] characters for more drama and action, and you can add new characters if yours die.

Here's the template. For the first characters, I would prefer that they are either college students or professors.

Other (optional):

Name: Pepper Wright
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Gay
Appearance: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/815784919980046357/?nic=1
Personality: She's kind of awkward, but she tries to be kind. She gets easily frustrated/annoyed and is incredibly stubborn if you get to know her. She doesn't get most jokes.
Inventory: She has a strong dislike/fear of guns, so if she had to use a weapon it'd be a knife or dagger. She also carries a dictionary around with her, so I guess if she needed to she could wack a zombie over the head with it?
Background: When she was 18, she came out to her family and they kicked her out. After that, she decided she wouldn't tell anyone else that she was gay. She works at a local cafe.
Other: She doesn't know how to drive, so she bikes everywhere

(Thank ya!)

Name: Clove "Love" Hartman
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bi
Appearance: Clove's family comes from Italy, so her curly dark brown hair and olive skin tone are easily recognized. Her juniper green eyes also run in the family, as her brothers and sisters share the same traits. She's short but mighty, as she's a whole 5 feet and 2 inches tall. Clove also has muscles (playing catcher for her softball team really worked out) and is slightly curvy.
Personality: Unlike the nature of her name, Clove is feisty and loud, a bad combination for the apocalypse. It's gotten her in trouble a few too many times, but it's also proven its worth when charming herself out of trouble. But under all that confidence lies fear, and it shows itself in the worst situations. Usually, she puts on a confident front and bs's her way into and out of things.
Inventory (including weapons, tools, etc.): She lugs around her catcher's bag, which has her two softball bats, her "weapons." Various foods.
Background (occupation, backstory, etc): She doesn't say much about her past, but with her she carries her little sister, who has a habit of speaking more than she needs to.
Other (optional): n/a.
