Okay, characters. The wonderful, magical world of Characters... who you are in this end of the world scenario. The action starts in a truck. That's right a truck. But this truck is filled with weapons to arm eight men to the teeth: knives, high powered pistols, assault rifles, grenades, side arms. You name it.
A quick run down of what is available in the truck:
Eight small caliber pistols. Secondary side arms. One clip is loaded in each. That's all the ammunition available.
Eight high powered pistols. Primary side arms. One clip loaded in each. Two additional clips available for each.
Eight Assault Rifles. Primary Armament. One clip in each. Eight additional clips available for each.
Twelve fragmentation grenades.
Four Incindiary grenades.
Eight battle knives.
Eight boot knives.
Eight bandoleers with spaces for six items approximately the size of a clip.
Eight backpacks.
One week of rations for eight people.
Now remember, this gear was intended for fully grown soldiers trained to carry that much weight. The typical citizen won't be able to carry all of this. You'll have to pack what you think will help.
This is realism people. In all chances, you're going to die. That's right, death is assured. If not by your fellow survivors, then a beast, if not by them, somebody is eventually gonna have the bright idea to blow this city to pieces. And nothing is gonna survive that.
Okay. Now I'm sure you've got something going through your head along the lines of: Wait... we can't carry full armament... and we're GOING to die... then what's the point? The point is simple: Survive. Live. Do what you can before fate gets you.
Joining is simple as filling out the following form:
Quote:
Name: This is your character's name.
Short background: This is who they are. What they did for a living. Their hobbies. Their family.
The past week: How have you survived? Where have you gone? What have you seen?
Survival Motivation: Oh yes, this is important, and had better be thought out. Remember, this is what gives you reason to survive, you don't have this, you're either one lucky b*****d, or you're dead.
Equipment: Yeah, what out of the truck do you want? First come, first serve.
Some things to remember: Your family is either dead or one of the enemy. They're hunting you. Remember that, cause if you're a house wife, or a family man, this is probably the most traumatic thing to ever happen to you. You were a street rat, you probably give a rat's a**.
