[Twiggie]

its a girls name? i just nicked the first name from a guy at my school...
and yes, i do realise japanese people dont have blue eyes...
annnd umm... not really too bothered about people laughing at him...

maybe the black clothes are a reaction to him being made fun of?

[Pandarsenic]

I'm saying making fun of his concept.

I repeat: "... blue-eyed girl-named Japanese child prodigy computer programmer trenchcoater...."

[Twiggie]

I'd change it (slightly), but i dont want to endanger my chances of getting in

[inaluct]

Really, though, Twiggz, if I suddenly changed my character to this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Jennifer "Deathbringer" Stadtham (I love my phonebook)

Profile: Civilian  (Twitch Gamer)

A Description of your character’s appearance: White, unusually short and thin. Brown hair, one red eye, one scintillating rainbow eye. Fast, jerky movements. He wears a black trenchcoat and carries a high powered sniper rifle with a laser attachment that can activate and function as a small laser cannon.

Background: Jeff won his first Major League Gaming event at age 8, and went on to beat Halo on Legendary without being damaged once. His fingers moved so fast that he had to replace his controller six times in total. The government recently approached him and asked to design the reflex system of an experimental power armor combat system on his reflexes, because he was so incredibly fast. Skill: Fast.

Starting Zone: Commercial

You'd think it was stupid, right? I mean, my character's white, and white people usually don't have one red eye and one rainbow eye, the same way Japanese people don't usually have blue eyes.

In fact, as far as I know, Japanese people never have blue eyes, unless they have a form of albinism. Why would you even want blue eyes, anyway? Do you have anything against black or brown?

And really, why would he wear a trenchcoat? Does he want zombies to grab at it and drag him into a crowd? What about those hideous sun glasses? Why does he have to be a child prodigy?

It seems like you're trying to make a character that's incorrigibly awesome or something. That isn't really what this is about. I mean, I'd like your character if you added that he had ocular albinism and his glasses were prescription, and he was socially inept or something (hence the trenchcoat), because that way he'd be believable and likable. He just seems too idealized at this point, but you could definitely make him into a really good character.

If you make it a believable character, I'll let you go into the game first, before I do.

By the way, Tuv, is this going to be a semirealistic thing where characters can get killed, or where the same 5-8 guys spend 100 pages of forum without dying?

[Twiggie]

ok then, if its alright with everyone, i'd like to change what i had before to

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Alex

Profile: Civilian

Location: Residential

A Description of your character’s appearance: Half Japanese, Half South African, Alex has a crooked nose, and is partially blind in one eye - needs glasses. He is 21.

Background: Alex lived in South Africa while he was young, but was bullied at school because of appearance. He spent more time at home to escape this, safe in the knowledge that he wouldnt be bullied because of his looks online. However, when he was 15, he had his nose broken, and his eye damaged, by a mob of neo-nats. Following this, his parents fled the country with him, fearful of more violence. Since then, he has lived here, never quite overcoming his introversion.

Skill: Electronics

hope thats better :p

[inaluct]

Well, you've got my spot. Good job. 

[Tuv]

Oh yes, There will be blood, but not right away.

Also, new players might be coming in as soon as a few turns.

That said, I, based off a ruling I have made previously, cannot allow Twiggie in the starting load-out. (oh yes, I know, I'm a horrible person.)

Starting Game With:
Boogerman
Jay Kayell
Zako
Pandarsenic
Inaluct

[inaluct]

Ah well, fair enough. I'll make it up to Twigs by being especially helpful to his character, then.

By the way, what do you think of the idea of letting player-zombies either be controlled by their former players, or try and stay on with the group as a (probably muzzled) zombie? Of course, it might not be interesting to write "I shamble up to ________'s character and try and gnaw his/her neck through my muzzle" for your turn, but it would be pretty ridiculous to have your character stay functional after zombification.

Really what I'm asking here is; comedic zombie pets in the group? [Y/N]?

[Tuv]

That would be a "No".

[inaluct]

Good to hear.

[Pandarsenic]

I - cautiously - search for potential weapons and thicker clothing, as well as other useful tools like binoculars, flares, and the like.

If I hear any zombies nearby and they're in another room, I switch to barricading the door.

[Boogerman]

I search for anything of use in the store.
Preferably something like a backpack, though I doubt that I will find one in a hardware store.

[inaluct]

I carefully move behind the counter to look for the corner store's obligatory firearm. If I can't find it, I grab any long, heavy object that I can put the beatdown on things with. Bonus points if it looks like a sword. I take anything that seems useful, especially to barricade myself inside the store.

If the zombie inside the store approaches, I try and bludgeon it to death with something.

[Zako]

I search for anything of use, especially weapons and armor.

OOC: Is food and water implemented? Is it important in game?
