Once again, use the spoiler tags. It's not hard.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i havent read the spoilers but Aq and dwarfaholic have found each other?

Jano is going to try rest as best he can. If im woken for zombie reasons i will help the best i can. any other more posative reasons i will go back to sleep, maybe have a dram of whisky to help me rest. When i awake im going to get ready for heading out looting. He's going to have a good breakfast and try to clean with as little water as possible (i assume i smell pritty bad by now). after that He's going to get armoured up as best he can (knee pads, helmets,gasmask ect) and get a bunch of gear to Aq's truck. the gear he will bring will be:
chainsaw
spreypaint
200 foot or so of rope
airhorn or megaphone if he can find them
3 axes of different sizes
sledge hammer
bolt cutters

and i think thats about it.

[Tubi2b]

Id like to jump in, unless there was an entrance time-limit. My friends and I tried a zombie-apoc DnD but it didnt work because we knew everything about each other, so this seems a bit more fun =). If its too late for me to join then ignore this.

My Char.

I reckon you should have made a female doc Tubi2b, because the game needs both in high demand.

But an inventor is a NICE touch! Never thought of that! He needs physical support, but that is easily handled by the over-abundance of "Fighter" types.

And since he needs glasses, wouldn't that count as weak sense: sight, since he obviously has a sight problem? You can get rid of clumsy then, since he is obviously careful with the soldering iron to be able to make that stuff, otherwise he has some serious injuries to start with...

[Tubi2b]

Youre right about the clumsy; I decided to change my character half-way through and guess I didnt change that. The glasses is a iffy thing.. by thick I meant thick-framed (editing now), not necessarily thick lenses. But yes, without them I suppose he would have poor sight. But I will account for that... say... because he invents he has to look into a lot of bright lights at a very close range, reducing his vision. He was originally going to be a conspiracy theorist... but that sounded like not enough usefulness. He was going to have a potato gun instead of PVC cannon but who would use their food as a weapon?

[Hungry]

Besides dwarves?

[Zako]

My god...

How could I have not seen it before?!

Tell the person we met to come with us out of town, its infested and theres no way to military base is safe.
So, basically just keep driving till we get somewhere safe. And then take turn on sleeping shifts.
What you gonna do? - Drive away from the city, and then sleep.
How? - Very cautious

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Sorry, yes Aq and Dwarfaholic found each other. I forgot (frogrot) to write that after the spoiler parts.

Also, it's not New Zealand, nor an island
I think at first I didn't specify, but I might have later. It's on the west coast of the US. There is a larger city to the north, another to the south (along a highway), the sea to the west, and a north-south mountain range to the east. Lots of moisture, cloud cover, generally cool, with solid seasonal variation.

[Mulch Diggums]

If you dont read every one elses spoiler, dont read this one =]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 What happens if we drive out of the city? Does the game stop, or do we continue on down the highway onto more zomibe filled lands?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Answer for Mulch Diggums:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That's the beauty of an RPG, Mulch. I tell you what you see, you tell me what you try to do, and I tell you what happens. You're not constrained by any invisible walls.

[Zako]

I would think that the abandoned cades from the guard will stop you from driving out though.

So, I reckon that the best way out is by the base or perhaps a boat if you can find the keys...

[Aqizzar]

EDIT: False alarm.  Leaving this here because my netpresence will be intermitent anyway.

Due to some ridiculous circumstances and general idiocy, I'll probably be internetus interuptus for a week or more, but I certainly don''t want to see my character up and disappear.  General outline-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Obsequious chap that he is, Aq will gladly go along with whatever plan Jano and Jonathan come up with, always suggesting that they armor up his truck, search for survivors, press on to the garrison, and party hardy there.  Anything that lets him drive really.  With the stereo cranked.  To alert survivors of course.

"How can we dance when our earth is turning?"
GROAR! *splish-dak-dak-dak*
"How do we sleep while our beds are burning?"
ARHHGEG! *BONG-thudup-dump-dump*
Aq: What fun eh boys?  Only way to travel!
Jano: Do you have to play it that loud?!
Aq: Of course not!
Jano: How about less noise then?
Aq: Not keen on d'foreign stuff eh?  'Think a'got some Stevie Ray in 'ere...

Sir Edmund and Dwarfaholic - If I'm reading your spoilers, you should probably be reading mine too.  After all, we're not hiding anything from each other.

And yes, I now know we're not in New Zealand.  That makes Aq all the better.

[rickvoid]

Since Nilocy is never going to start the Mech game (glares) I suppose I could hop in on this.

Hell, I'll even be nice enough to cover two things you guys think you need right now: a doctor, and another chick.

NOTE: I am a dude. I have never been, and never will be, a chick. Therefore, I'll be stereotyping both the doctor and woman factors to unprecedented levels. This is why I took "obnoxious" as a penalty. You have been warned. 
NOTE2: Attempting to woo my character will result in failure, everytime. Unless she's drunk. In which case she'll fall asleep before you finish, leaving you unfulfilled. So there. 
NOTE3: She'll also hate you in the morning.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Hannah MacHenry
Age: 28
Short Physical Description: Your typical Scottish-descended lass. Below average height, with a trim figure more from her strenous job than any diet. Possesed of a sharp, scathing wit and a dirty laugh, she'll happily down a dark brew and follow it up with a whisky chaser or two. As passionate as she is about fun, she's even more passionate when it comes to work.
Job: Hannah was a doctor working in a free clinic when the Outbreak began. Over her protests, the few patients inside decided to hole-up and baracade the doors so noone else could get in. She was able to get one final patient in, but unfortunately he was infected, by the time they were able to put the resulting zombie down, only her and two others were left alive. The others left in an attempt to escape on their own, leaving her behind as punishment for her poor judgement. Some time passed before she heard Aq's loud music coming up the road. Waving them down, she offered to help the injured in exchange for her rescue.

Positive: Smart, Charismatic, Skilled (medicine)

Negative: Obnoxious, Inept (firearms), Weak Sense (touch)

Possessions: Though the remaining two patients did take most of the remaining supplies in the clinic with them when they left, they couldn't carry everything. There were also several emergency items that she neglected to tell them about. As a result, she has-
1 blood-stained Fire-axe
1 large duffle bag
Contents of bag:
5 first-aid kits (bandages, styptic, ect)
1 set of sterile surgical implements
extra bandages (as many as she could fit)
5 20oz bottles of disinfectant
20 boxes of generic painkillers/fever reducers (Think Ibuprophen)
2 one gallon jugs distilled water
1 bottle Single-malt Whiskey (For sterilization purposes... yeah...)

Some things you may have noticed-
1. She has Inept (firearms) and did not take a gun. Despite the fact that I myself am a big fan of firearms, I don't imagine a doctor that works out of a free clinic would share my opinion. I did take a number of things that should be helpful for fixing you guys, but if you think of anything I didn't I'll add it in, if that's okay with the guy running the game. I ought to get some benefit for leaving myself unarmed.
2. I mentioned Whiskey. Twice. Partly, this is because it does work as a sterilizer in a pinch (high alcohol content). Partly, I'm considering making her a mild alcoholic. She wasn't a light drinker before the outbreak, but now she's got a lot of guilt because it was mostly her fault that those patients got eaten. Partly, I like Whiskey. If you guys have a problem with the alcoholic doctor, let me know and I'll drop it. If I go ahead with it, I may make it a half-empty(full?) bottle instead, to show how she passed that time alone.
3. Rather than being a red-haired Irish firebrand, she's a red-haired Scottish firebrand. Personal preference, that's all. 

Let me know what ya think.

[Zako]

Thank god, a woman and a doctor in one!

Not sure about the weak sense: touch, since she appears to be a surgeon, so perhaps you could replace it with something else? If you do, make sure that it is as relevant as you can get it please! RP is GOOD in this thread!

Perhaps you could take a fire axe from the hospital that you hid incase of the others leaving you, or something like that? Your character isn't weak in melee, just firearms, remember that!
