Where are we?
A nameless town. It's nicely placed between hills and woodlands; hundreds of miles from the next town.

When are we?
It's taking place in current times at all times, in a world similar to our own, with the season changing alongside ours. To keep it simple, lets not name years.

What's going on?
Overnight (literally) a zombie outbreak spread globally, even afflicting this town. Rumored to be from contaminated beef. In depth (optional);

The zombie virus has been around for months prior to the beginning of the roleplay. It began in South America and spread globally through beef. Human remains infected by the virus were thrown into the meat processors used for MckieD's hamburgers. (not McDonalds, although that's slang for MckieD's)

Next day that the meat was shipped, people ate it, the elderly and young got sick and died, and the infection spread overnight.


What kind of zombies are we talking about?
We're dealing with slow George A. Romero fame zombies.

How do we kill them?
Destroy the brain, remove head. Burning them works too; but they might pop from the decaying gases.

Any question about weapons.
Only civilian legal weapons are allowed, so you can carry around things like bayonets, nazi knives, throwing weapons. Just as long as they don't carry military grade weapons.

This town also has a ban on assault rifles and sniper rifles.

Max of 2 weapons? That's not fair!
All characters can start with two on them, for other weapons add a "at home" section and list the rest. They'll have to do a special mission to retrieve them of course. Just don't have them "appear one day with 100 guns" kind of deal, you have to take another RPer with you.

How does the virus spread?
Usual zombie way; biting/saliva.

What happens to bitten characters?
They start to die, it usually takes anywhere between tow hours to two days depending on severity. Symptoms are; sweating, vomiting, becoming cold and clammy, seizures, and then death through heart attack.

Corpses reanimate within half an hour.

What happens to all of my pets!?
Zombies only eat humans, they completely ignore all other animals. They're not even attracted to the sound of a barking dog.

I feel like this guild needs ___ thread, can I make it?
Please don't. If there's something you feel like we need, tell me in the chatterbox.

Can my character be in multiple places at once?
Yes! As long as you keep track of the time-line they're in.

What kind of images can I use for my characters?
Any that you have laying around. If you use a copyright character, just make sure they're not a massively popular one or a main character. Or really, using a character from Disgaea is completely fine, but an image from Naruto is bad.

What about photos?
Anything you can find to describe your character. Even if it's a stick figure with an outfit.

How hard are zombies to kill?
As hard as it is to kill a human with super strength that doesn't care about pain. They're tough to kill; don't expect your character to kill multiple at once with their sweet moves.

Anything I should know?
Don't be ridiculous with your character please, make them at least somewhat realistic. I don't want to see a "katana wielding prodigy" or "master of fighting since birth" type of scenario. If you have concerns about your character PM me. If you do something absurd I'll PM you..

More on zombies;
They're all blind, as their eyes rotted first. But zombies possess superhuman hearing, they can track people down on their footsteps. Because of this guns aren't recommended weapons; they attract more zombies than they remove.

Along with that, zombies posses superhuman levels of strength. Because they don't hold back they can easily crush your arms by grabbing you, and break your bones with their strikes.

Removing their limbs or breaking their bones isn't going to kill them but will stop them; they can't walk without functional limbs. Shocking them also works temporarily as it does with a person.
