                                        1. Play nice - this means don't break ToS, bully or disrespect anyone in the shop.

                                        2. Homosexuality is a fact of life, if you don't agree with any lifestyle choice of
                                        those in the shop keep it to yourself. Gay characters will happen and we want
                                        them to be accepted. This means that if you see RP in the thread that you don't
                                        like, please go elsewhere for its duration or simply don't read what is being said.


                                        3. While characters occasionally take part in romantic engagements, everything
                                        must be kept PG 13.


                                        4. Do not steal character concepts - they are property of their creators.

                                        5. You may not edit, recolor or claim art for your own. You must ask permission
                                        to use your character's image off-site.


                                        6. Every character is activity required, if you don't stay active in the thread your
                                        character will be taken away and rehomed {providing it's not a real life commission}
                                        after a period of three months. You will not be reimbursed.


                                        7. When RPing, please keep your posts in third person past tense.

                                        8. Please try to be semi-literate when posting, meaning no chatspeak is allowed
                                        within the shop.


                                        9. Do not PM our shop members asking for their characters - it is rude and taboo
                                        within the B/C.


                                        10. Do not whine about not having a character, do not whine when you don't win
                                        an event and especially don't whine about the lack of availability of characters.


                                        11. No drama or you will be kicked out.

                                        12. No trolling or you be kicked in the nuts.

                                        13. Rules are subject to change.

                    “I remember the day the world ended and it was exactly as I had always warned. The residents of New Haven never listened to me
                    then. No one ever did, really. Maybe if some of them had, there would be more people alive right now...” Kitchi Grey began bitterly.
                    The twenty seven year old always told the people he put up for the night his view on the day the virus called Necrogenesis hit the
                    populace.

                    “They thought that the virus was a new plague brought in by someone overseas. But I knew even then that it had to be something
                    the government or some sorta group brought about. When I was in the army, I saw my fair share of things that no one ever should.
                    The people who would listen to my stories said that I was just experiencing ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’. That’s just propaganda
                    against me – lies that have been told to cover up the truth they don’t want spread!”

User Image
                    The couple exchanged a look that said they weren’t quite sure he had everything up there, but they kept
                    quiet in hopes that he would finish his rambling and walk them to the end of the town. As he continued,
                    the woman gripped the man’s arm as if she were more afraid of Kit than she was of the zombies.

                    “As the virus spread throughout the first town, the armed forces were called in to try and control the situation.
                    That worked for about a week before one guard dropped his attention and he was jumped. When the order
                    came in with authorization to shoot to kill, it was already too late – the soldiers were all victims to the disease.”

                    “The virus then spread throughout the state and the Center of Disease Control was called in to see if
                    they could contain it. When that news broke, everyone in New Haven started to wear masks- as if that
                    could change anything!- but carried on their normal lives. While they were playing make believe that
                    everything would be fine, I was hunkered down in my shelter.”

                    “The CDC helped as much and as long as they could but there was no hope, really. It was out of control
                    before they even got involved. I remember hearing the news reports about the states surrounding it getting
                    over ridden. It was on the other coast so it was still several days before the virus reached us. But even
                    then, it wasn’t long until the television stations quit airing. The radio ran for longer – I think, some
                    stations are still running and probably will until the people who are hiding in them are gone. Anyways,
                    I've heard that the other countries have been overtaken by the virus as well.”

                    Kitchi was silent a long, long time before he spoke again. He seemed to be mourning the loss of so many
                    lives for what he considered an experiment gone wrong. When he finally spoke again, he was subdued.
                    During the moments of silence, he’d be surveying to make sure that there weren’t any zombies around.

                    “When the virus hit this town, many were lost but some of us are still out there. I only really go out to
                    make sure people get on safely or to refill my generators. While I go out, sometimes I see a few familiar
                    faces, but for the most part we keep to ourselves. It’s not safe to stay outside for too long. Besides,
                    none of them like knowing I was right this particular time.”

                    “I hear tale that the disease is evolving so you two should be careful on your way south. Watch out for
                    these new types – I’m calling them Berserkers – I hear they hide in plain sight with the Meat Puppets
                    and strike when you least expect it. And there’re the Howlers who have this paralyzing shriek. This nice
                    guy who stayed with me last week said he heard of this zombie that follows you until it catches you.
                    So I’d want to be a little more careful and avoid areas that are too populated.”

                    When he got to the edge of the town, he wished them both a safe journey and good luck. Kit knew
                    that it was more than likely that it would be the last time he saw them, possibly the last time he saw
                    anyone. Fewer people were spending the night at his bunker, despite the multitude of signs urging
                    survivors to seek shelter at someplace safe.

                    When he was further down the road, he heard a scream in the distance behind him. He thought about
                    going back and helping, but by then it would be too late. If they were still alive, there was no chance
                    that they had escaped the attack unbitten or scratched. And Kitchi couldn’t chance the possibility
                    of being swarmed. There was one thing worse than death, and that was being infected.

                                    New Haven was a medium sized suburb not too far from a large city. Things before the
                                    outbreak were peaceful- people knew most of their neighbors by face or by reputation.
                                    There was a sense of calm about the city. After the outbreak, things obviously changed for
                                    the worst. Neighbors who weren't eaten or infected became wary of one another, often
                                    keeping to themselves as much as possible.

                                    There is a hospital, a mall, a sheriff's department, a fire station, an EMS station, several
                                    housing complexes, an apartment complex, a grocery store, a pawn shop, a gun store,
                                    a railroad station, a gas station, a park, a restaurant called Double Wok, a restaurant called
                                    Big Al's Taco Barn, a restaurant called Lizzie's Diner, and a restaurant called Radfi's
                                    Indian Cuisine.

                                    The surviving residents of New Haven are a sturdy bunch. Many of the the survivors have
                                    become weary when strangers are involved, preferring to stick to small groups to defend
                                    themselves easily. Many have known the loss of someone personal and it's certainly
                                    taken it's toll...

                        There are five distinct classes of survivors - each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

                        SCOUTxxxxxxxx ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        Unlike the rest of the classes, Scouts don't have something that will easily dispatch a zombie. This class carries flare guns,
                        glow sticks, rations and other supplies items. They are the speediest of the survivor types and they often run ahead to scout
                        out their surroundings for therest of their group. Always in the company of one or more survivors, Scouts need the firepower
                        of one of their colleagues to finish a mission successfully.


                        SURVIVALISTxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        This class is all about cunning and resourcefulness. Survivalists create their own weapons from items that they find in the
                        wasteland of New Haven. Molotov cocktails and trip wires to a flamethrower - you name it; they can make it.


                        MEDIC xxxxxx-- ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        These healers don't necessarily have any sort of medical training. They can be anyone from someone who has first aid skills
                        to a doctor who had an established practice before the outbreak. Doctors and medical supplies are in short supply, this is no
                        time to be picky! This class carries small weapons that can often be concealed - scalpels, small caliber guns, knives, etc.


                        BRUTE xxxxxxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        This self explanatory melee class has all the basics for your assault needs. Crowbars, baseball bats, iron pipes, etc.
                        You want power? They got it.


                        GUNSLINGERxx ˟xx- ˟xx ˟
                        Almost all gun users fit into this class. Medium caliber guns to sniper rifles belong in this class; they are your most
                        versatile and basic class. You can't fend off the infected without guns!

                        There are three stages available for each survivor. Each stage is RP required with a minimum of one paragraph a post
                        and fifteen posts per RP.



                        I N E P Txxxxxxxxxxxxxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        At this stage your survivor knows little to nothing about actually surviving. The fact that they've made it this far is a miracle!

                        I N T E R M E D I A T Exx ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        Your survivor now knows the basics of scavenging and protection. They're not that skilled, but they've come a loooong way.

                        V E T E R A Nxxxxxxxxxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        Your survivor is the top dog. They know anything and everything about New Haven and can easily handle themselves.

                        T E R M I N A T O Rxxxx-- ˟xx ˟xx ˟
                        This special stage is reserved for those who have showed unwavering support and dedication to the shop. The requirements
                        remain a mystery until a player shows they are ready and worthy of this stage.

                          Since the initial wave of infection, the virus has apparently mutated and different strains of the virus run rampant.
                          Zombies seem to be one of several different types, or 'classes'. Some are more dangerous than others, but all are
                          not to be ignored. Each zombie class is deadly in their own rights.


                          User Image


                          MEAT PUPPETxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟xxxx [Example]
                          The most common class of zombie that fall into the old stereotype: slow, stupid and easy to kill if they're in small groups. They can be taken out by any and all classes- even Scouts. Meat Puppets
                          can be startled by loud noises and bright lights, and they are far more difficult to kill when aggravated.



                          HOWLERxxxxxxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟xxxx [Example]
                          This specific class of zombie has gone blind thanks to the virus' mutation. It makes up for it's impairment by having highly developed hearing. Howlers use echolocation to size up their
                          surroundings and potential prey. The scream they use for their echolocation is paralyzing. The Brute class is the survivor type that is most effective against a Howler. Guns are almost useless to the hardened skin of a Howler. Due to their thick skin and terrifying cry, Howlers are often the most loathed of all the specials. Survivors often find them most identifiable due to the sound of
                          their shriek which sounds similar to an owl's cry.



                          TRACKERxxxxxxx ˟xx ˟xx ˟xxxx [Example]
                          This special class is very devoted to their cause- eating the delicious flesh of their former friends and loved ones. Trackers will follow their prey until they catch and infect them with their bite. Trackers have an acute sense of smell that often is compared to that of a blood hound. The Survivalist is the class most capable of dealing with a Tracker - a swift jet of fire or a Molotov cocktail to the head usually does the trick. A Tracker is most identifiable by its swift movements despite being on all fours.


                          BERSERKER xxx- ˟xx ˟xx ˟xxxx [Example]
                          The toughest of the special zombie classes, the Berserker blends in with Meat Puppets until the time is right. This class reacts quickly to any provocation, unlike the other classes that can be fended off if dealt with properly. Meat Puppets don't openly welcome the chameleon-type Berserkers; the Meat Puppets let them blend in but they often act in packs. Berserkers prefer to work solo. That's the lone identifier this class has; it's hermit like quality. The Berserker is easily killed by a swift shot to the head courtesy of a Gunslinger.
