-17: Taking heavy casualties, DC is evacuated. Very few leaders were immune and survived. A temporary government is formed by the Clintons and General Patreous (sp.).

-17, Two Hours Later: Rick Void's family, friends, and assorted hangers-on declare war on Zombies, Looters, and this so called "Temporary" Government run by the Clintons.

-16: The temporary government orders everyone to return to their homes and prepare for zombie siege. 2nd hand infections have spread to most of the country. It is feared that small gassings may have occurred and not been noticed.

-16, Five Minutes Later: Rick Void and Co. issue the following statement; "Yeah. That'll happen.  "

Fixed that for ya.
Other than that little bit, that was awesome and quite plausible. (speaking more about the chaos before the zombies show up)

I think I'm just going to run me for this one. Ought to be interesting.

Name: Richard M. Void
Age: 22
Weight: 215
Height: 5' 11'
Hair Color: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Skin Tone: Bad Farmers-style tan; really dark face and lower arms, really pale everywhere else.
Anything Else?: The remains of what was most likely used to be a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee combo, partially obscured by his shot scraggly beard. Constant stern expression. He's not perpetually angry, it just kind of sits that way.

Skills-
Skilled: Guns
Skilled: Handguns
Skilled: Assault Rifles

Weaknesses-
Weak: Foreign Languages
Weak: Lock Picking
Weak: Out-of-Shape

Equipment:
Custom AR-15 with ready-sling (hangs in front rather than behind; AR is mostly aftermarket parts.)
Springfield Arms XD 9mm Handgun (in holster on belt)
Field Bag; Contains-
150 rounds AR ammo, in six 25 round magazines
2 16 round Hi-Capacity 9mm magazines, 50 extra rounds 9mm ammo (82 rounds total)
Cleaning Kit
Various Tools (Screwdriver, hammer, etc)
Duffel Bag; Contains-
2 gallons distilled water
14 MRE's (Meal-Ready-to-Eat)

Starting Position: K
First Turn action: Safety in numbers. A small, well armed and equipped group should be able to hold off Zombies and scattered military presences come Hell or high-water. (See also Iraq. And yes, I do feel dirty for saying that, thank you for asking.) Towards that end, I'll head north towards T and try to find some folks who feel like living.

(Incidentally, you didn't use Green Bay, WI as your inspriration did you? Cause that map looks eerily familiar... )

I miss Leo..

So do I, Torak. I forgot to mention, if Tuv or Leo should decide to pick up on this again, this thread is on insta-statis.

Anyway, map is up. Feel free to post first turns now. I'll be reformating the first couple of posts to include more spoilers.

Hi!
Rickvoid Thanks for spelling Patreous's name right. I do find the comment of your personal war funny; however, I can't put it in the intro as said intro is reserved for things that characters in story would know. I'd probably do the same thing.

Deathworks: Sorry, I wanted to try your posting style at least once. It doesn't seem to work with me though, so this will be the last time.

-Strife.

I was only joking. But seriously, the Hilary bit frightens me more than the Zombie Plague. Even if we survive, we're still being ruled by the Hilda-Beast. *shudders*

And I don't think I fixed his name. I think you already had it right though.

[Strife26]

Believe me, that intoduction WILL have an effect for the rest of the game.

A zombie apocalypse isn't the only disaster that we'll be dealing with here.

Now I'm going to have to look up his name. Darn.

Just questioning a bit, but in the start, what time of day is it?
Area:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Markov lives in the single Heavy Residential area, on the roof of a 4-story brick apartment building. Up there is little more than the usual doorway to the main staircase, which is locked while Markov is on the roof, ventillation unit, and a few lawn chairs. Markov also keeps a cooler up there, but it has nothing in it.

If Daytime:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Markov sits on a lawn chair right up against the rooftop edge, using his binoculars to search for anything of interest in the city

If Nighttime:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Markov, whle wearing his full "thief" getup, quietly leaves the apartment's front door and moves quickly but silently through the city streets, keeping alert. He has already checked many of the nearby houses, and is going to search a more distant, unchecked (by him at least) one, a few blocks east.

0001, Day -1.

Just questioning a bit, but in the start, what time of day is it?

It is currentally 0001 on day -1.

Character up. Feel free to get mad about his load out. 

Rick Void always comes prepared.

  <=joke, I don't get angry at people.
Expect something terrible to happen to your caracter's guns in the first turn. Did you notice that I didn't like Silu packing a glock 7 with a little more that 60 bullets?

I know that I wouldn't allow myself with my household supplies in this game. Could you trim it down a bit?

For example, how many clips are there for each gun?
Please don't tell me you have enough laying around for all bullets to have a clip.

Why don't you trim it to 150 rounds AR-15 (with double skilled in it, I'll be sure to make them count, becuase I do believe in a good assult rifle's suppority to anything short of a heavy machine gun, sniper rifle, or armored veichle).
Why carry 500 rounds of 9mm? Why don't you trim it to 50 or so? That much lead would get heavy fast.

50 MRE's would be a lot of wieght to carry around, especially considering you could probably survive on one every other day.

If you were planning to baricade, you could possibly have most of the stuff, but if you want a semi-mobile character, you'll have to leave some of it behind. You could stash it, but I might have the house burn down.

Also, you need start location and first turn moves.

I'm still laughing when imagining your house though. You weren't kidding when you said 'declare war' on the provis. governent.

[rickvoid]

Yeah, I'll edit it. I did forget my clips and magazines. I'll trim down the ammo counts.

[Strife26]

I'll refrain from adding your character until your done.

Welcome to the Apocalypse Rickvoid, I just need your first turn and start location.

All fixed, should be more to your liking now. I dropped from 50 MRE's to 14. That should give me plenty of time, even if I end up needing to share. Which I, of course, wouldn't mind.

Your turn is recieved. Nope it's not Green Bay. However, I've left more than enough clues to figure ut what city it is.

Everyone:
I've left several clues about what city this is based on (although I did edit the city for plot purposes).

First one to guess gets a prize!

Also, I'm going to bed now.

[rickvoid]

I just read your post about the glock magazines. Yeah, the ban on High-Capacity magazines died a few years back. You have no idea how excited I was when Springfield Arms shipped my XD with a pair of high-caps as their way of celebrating. 

And good night!

[Silu]

Feel free to drop one mag off my list.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask. Do the 'Skilled: Guns' and 'Skilled: Pistols' stack? As 'S:G' gives +1 to all and 'S:P' gives +3 to pistols, bringing it to total of +4?
