OK, you lot managed to convince me to make this forum game. I hate you for it, because my procrastination skills are legendary, and this just gives me another excuse, but never mind that.
The first four to reply with a character sheet are going to be the first in. No reserving spots for yourself by posting. Character sheet, or no spot. Even the entry is harder than a regular game.
You start off with one proficiency in one of these skills:
Unarmed combat (increased damage, unarmed speed and accuracy with unarmed strikes.)
Repair (repairing items, and, later on, creating items from other items.)
Small firearms (Pistols, SMGs, etc. increases accuracy)
Medium firearms (rifles, shotguns, etc. increases accuracy. For the sake of simplicity, bows and crossbows will also be effected by this)
Survival (+1 health per body part (limbs and torso))
Melee weapons (swords, spears etc. increases accuracy and speed, later levels increase damage)
WeaponsWeapons are arranged into several groups.
Small firearms: pistols, SMGs and any other small gun you can think of.
Medium firearms: rifles, shotguns and any other medium-sized weapon you can think of.
Large firearms: Light machine guns, rocket launchers and any other large weapon you can think of (that can be carried).
Melee weapons: katanas, broadswords, spears, sledgehammers and the like. they can cause one of three types of damage at once: slash, pierce or blunt.
Blunt damage weapons (warhammers, sledgehammers etc.) tend to be slow and heavy, but can go through flexible armours (e.g. non-backed kevlar (kevlar without SAPI plates)) and can break bones easily.
Pierce damage weapons (spears, swords, if you attempt to stab, rather than slash.) cause less direct damage to a limb than a slashing attack, but when targeted at the head or torso, they can pierce the body and damage vital organs.
Slash damage weapons (katanas, swords when you slash with them) cause average damage to the torso/limbs, and can cause bleeding. it is also possible to decapitate people and cut off limbs with these weapons.
Bows and crossbows: Cause less damage than a gun, and you can only fire one shot before 'reloading'. The exception to this is the repeater crossbow. Less common than guns, but they can be crafted, and if something goes wrong, they are more likely to just snap or break the bolt/arrow, rather than causing damage to the user.
HealthEach part of your body has it's own individual health, statuses etc. If wither a leg or an arm's health is reduced to 0, that limb will either be crushed beyond repair, or will have been cut off. You can get infections in cuts, which, if left alone, will begin to fester, and drain the health of the limb at a rate of 1 health very half day. Once the limb loses half of it's health since it became infected, it will begin draining the health from other parts of the body at a rate of once every 2 hours. All body parts are effected in one go (e.g. limb has 6 health, and becomes infected, once it reaches 3 health, the rest of the body parts will lose one health every 2 hours). Unless you take antibiotics or clean the wound properly, you will probably die within a day of the infection draining your body's health.
ArmourArmour can cover the head, limbs and torso, depending on what it is. Different types of armour absorb different amounts of damage, and depend on the type of damage they receive.
Blunt damage is largely stopped by 'rigid' armours, such as SAPI plate backed kevlar. However, these armours can crack or become damaged, and when they do, they become largely useless. They are also generally heavier.
'Soft' armours (e.g. unbacked kevlar) will only really be useful against pierce and slash attacks. They do, however, tend to last longer.

You don't need to fill in the fields marked with an asterisk.
Please name a country/state you want to start in! Remember, all other countries and states will be emptied of all humans!
remember different states and countries will play differently. if you start in Arizona, food and water are gonna be scarce. Britain, guns are going to be harder to find etc.
