Life Sucks and Then You Die... {OOC}

Life Sucks and Then You Die…
General Information
- Spoiler:
- This will be a fast-paced role-play designed more for entertainment than for writing ability or storytelling, though both of those things will be a part of it of course. Each player will start out with 1-3 characters, and these characters will be killed off with random dice rolls.
The story will take place in a fictional city. I decided on this because I strive to be too detail-oriented, and if I chose a real city I would spend too much time looking at Google Maps… The city is known as Grayfog, in an unknown state of the US. The basics of the story will be covered in my introduction post, but basically it is a zombie apocalypse with our characters trapped in the city. From that point we can go anywhere, but that is where it will start. Treat Grayfog as a metropolis, a city like New York where just about anything is possible (supposedly) in terms of what your characters can be.
Rules
- Spoiler:
- The rules of this role-play are as follows:
1. Because of the survival rate of the characters involved in this role-play, I encourage the “real-life” drama that would inevitably nibble at these groups of survivors. If someone has a bunch of characters that are more interested in causing destruction that working together, then I think that is acceptable. However, I expect a good showing of civility on the parts of all players involved. DO NOT GO TOO FAR. Please… And to those whose characters suffer, don’t take in personally.
2. There are no permanent characters here. Every character has an equal chance to die. So I would advise that you do not become too attached to a character. If my dice roll says that he/she dies in this zombie encounter, then there is no way around that. I will establish that now: no second chances.
3. When the characters encounter a zombie, or a group of zombies, those nearest to it (or perhaps everyone in the group) will go through a dice roll. I will be rolling the dice since I am the GM of this role-play. You can trust that I won’t play favorites or cheat, because I am a stickler for rules. If there is a single zombie, I will limit the deaths to 2 characters. However, far more can die if they encounter a group of zombies. When a character suffers a death roll, I will PM the player that owns that character to inform them. I won’t state it in the OOC, or anywhere publicly. It will then be up to that player to write out how exactly they want that character to die. This way you still have some control over the death of your character… or at least the manner of their deaths.
I will determine the death of a character by rolling 2 dice 10’s (10-sided dice). The percentage required to survive an encounter will be determined by the number of zombies, number of survivors, and other factors. I will have my own table for these factors, which I won’t share. But those are the basics of it.
4. You can’t have a zombie character.
5. Maximum limit of 3 characters per player. I may raise this limit if things go smoothly in the role-play, but that is how it will be for now. New characters can be introduced as old ones die, but try your best to fit it into the story.
If I think of more rules, I will add them here.

The character index has been updated to include all current characters, as Alive, in alphabetical order by last name. I will add any others you come up with as well, so don't worry.
I will work on the intro post tonight. I will write out the first post as the introduction to the apocalypse, and have my three characters gather together in some "safe area," where your other characters will be. I would like to give you all the freedom to move around, but it will be harder for me to narrate and keep track of zombie encounters. However, if you would like to start out on your own away from the rest, I will do my best to work with you.

I have the intro post up. Again, feel free to start out anywhere. I will do my best to work with all scenarios. Sorry my post sucks, but this kind of writing is a bit outside of my comfort zone. I could have easily made this thing 10,000 words or more before I was actually happy with it. I tried to keep it... casual.
Whoever posts next can either write in a new area, or they can start from where I left off, in the furniture store. At some point, they will have to run again to get away from zombies, and once that happens (once everyone has posted at least once), I will roll encounter dice. At this stage, because of the number of zombies, we can easily lose a large number of characters. We'll just see how it plays out
I won't start rolling until everyone has posted at least once though, unless anyone wants to skip a turn or something.

Name: Mathew Danielson
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Pre-Outbreak Occupation: Homeless
Appearance: He stands about six feet tall, and he is under weight, around 140 pounds. His grey hair betrays his age, and his beard is unkept and long. He wears a dark green tattered touque. He has a matching surplus army jacket and jeans which are more holes than fabric. The only study piece of clothing he owns is his boots, which are just under knee height, and heavy.
Descriptive Keywords: Loner, depressed, emotionally fragile, self sacrificing (martyr complex), strong physically, not very agile, warrior.
EDIT: I have a few questions. Firstly, do we always have to wait for you to add our character to the list before we post? If characters are going to die as frequently as it sounds, we'll be making a new character ever 3 or 4 posts, and I'd like to be able to jump right back in after my one character dies (since i don't think I will have more than 2 active at once).
Secondaryily, How quickly does a bite result in zombieism? From your post it seems it only takes a few hours. It would be useful to know, since if we decide a character dies because of a bite and is shot by another character, the time frame is nessecary.
Third, I'd like to write a single post from the view point of one character. He would only be alive for that one post, and wouldn't interact with any othe character. Am I able to do that? I mean, choose when a character dies voluntarily?
And attached to that line of thought, can we make heroic sacrifices for another character?
Sorry to barf all of these questions on you. I tend to be an inquisitive fellow.

Sorry... I forgot to mention: There are no homeless in Grayfog.
j/k...
Q1: No, you don't have to wait for me to add them to the list. That is just a convenient way to keep track of the characters that have been in the story, and who is alive and dead. As you make characters, use them, and I will update the character index as I have time. And as mentioned above, feel free to claim a post for your own personal character index's, if you would like to keep track of all of your own characters and add additional notes to them.
Q2: How long does it take to turn... honestly, I wasn't sure when I started. Then I kind of got the idea of it mutating, in a sense. At the start of the story, it takes hours for complete transformation. But, several days or weeks later, it could take hours, then maybe just minutes. I think I might go with that, and I will let you know through hints in the story, or just blunt statements, what the case is. For now, it will take several hours.
Q3: That is completely fine. How you write your posts is completely up to you, so long as you follow with the storyline. The only requirement really is to kill off the character when it gets the deathly dice determinate.
A side note on that, since i forgot to mention it in the first post (I think): when your character is killed, and becomes infected, you have until complete infection or death to post with that character. Once the character has transformed into a zombie, you can no longer use it. That will keep players from using zombiefied characters from intentionally infecting other characters.
Q4: If you want to make a heroic sacrifice... I don't know. If someone gets a death roll, then I will PM that particular player. If it is a situation you think beforehand that you would like to do that, then PM me and we will work it out. So it is a situational thing. I would like to say yes, but you may not always be in the position to do so.
Hope I answered all of your questions. Thanks for asking them!

We still need Torturous, Hello, and Dio to post. Silvone has been busy, but I know he wanted these posts all up so we can get moving out of the furniture store.

I have been incredibly busy lately. I haven't had much time to get on FOG for even a few moments. And chances are I won't be on for a while still. My job is killing me, and my two days off will be spent out of town. As soon as I get a chance, so long as all the intro posts are up, I will do the dice rolls and PM the results.
Glad to hear your gf is thinking of joining, HD!
Sorry you to have to go, Torturous Flame. But yeah, you can always come back later if you get some spare time.
