[HEADING=1]Trapped! A Survival Horror RP[/HEADING]

[small]I know what you're all thinking. "Oh no, another generic zombie killing RP." But bear with me here![/small]

<color=darkgreen>[HEADING=1]Main Story:[/HEADING]

With the infection slowly spreading, the government decided to evacuate as many people as possible, but due to the increasing rate in infectee's, they had to shut down the whole city, and barricade everyone inside, the only way out is to fly out, or go underground.
No one is quite sure how the disease was carried into the city, it is believed there is a secret lab hidden somewhere in the city limits that caused the breakout, while doing experiements on the disease to try and manufacture a cure.

However, the government has one final mission: To evacuate the President's Daughter.
She was due to be picked up outside her school, but because of a desperate survivor, she was pushed out of the Helicopter, her current whereabouts are unknown, but she made contact with the police using her cell phone before it ran out of battery, so she is thought to be alive somewhere.
But what about the other survivors?

This is where you fit in, you have limited options:

1. Try and survive inside the city, and hope that help will arrive to save you eventually.

2. Find the President's Daughter, and hope they rescue you along with her. (Who will be played by me, if you find her)

3. Find a way underground and escape through the sewers.

4. ?????


You have many places to start from:

1. Your house.

You were at home, maybe doing some chores, when you hear screaming on TV, you run into the living room to see chaos on the screen, shoddy camera angles film what looks like a riot in town, but then the reporter is attacked by what looks like a human. You hear a crash from outside, through the window you can see people running.
2. In the middle of town. (if you had gone out for the day)

You're walking down a busy street, when the people ahead of you start screaming, and run past you in a blind panic. You see ahead of you a small crowd of people stumbling towards everyone, they seem to be covered in blood. You can tell something is very wrong.
There are news reporters on the streets, but one is violently attacked by one of these scary creatures.
3. From where you work.

You decided to stay inside for lunch, but you can hear screaming from the windows. You look out to see people running, and others being attacked by creatures that appear human. There is blood on peoples clothing, and they seem to be injured, but they keep stumbling towards people and attacking them. They seem to be coming towards your building.
4. From the barricade.

You knew ahead of time that something was wrong. A black car had gone to your neighbors house and told them to evacuate the city, so you decided to follow in your car. You got to the motorway bridge, but its completed crowded by people, there is also a huge metal wall surrounding the city that wasn't there last time you drove through here. You hear SWAT men shouting "One at a time! Through the scanners, then you can leave!"
Suddenly screaming comes from near the front, and a man falls to the ground apparently dead. People move closer, and he somehow gets back up and bites someone. Both infected people are shot dead, but the SWAT close the barricade and yell: "You have all been contained for quarantine, please return to the city."
The riot carries one, as people keep pushing.
"If you do not leave within 1 minute, we will open fire!"
Some people turn around, but most people stay pushing. You're in the middle of all this when the SWAT fire at the front of the crowd. Screaming people push past you, as a few innocent civilians fall dead at the front. You are forced to head back into town.
It'd be nice if there could be at least 1 person starting from each place, but I will let you decide where you wish to begin.

Here is what your character sheet should look like:

If you want, you can leave out Appearance, but please mention something in your Bio if you do.

<color=green>Original Players

Name: Tyler Patton
Age: 19
Gender: M
Appearance: 6' 2" 183lbs. (83kg) Grayish-blue eyes, short light brown hair
Occupation: College student
Short Bio: Constantly mentioning he is not related to the famous General with the same last name, Tyler was a regular student until he finally discovered the book and movie by the name of Fight Club. Immediately identifying with the character of the same name, he set out to start his own fight club that lasted well after high school up to the middle of his second year in college. Multiple years of fighting every Friday night has turned him into a force to be reckoned with and given him a physique that attracted every sports coach in the schools. Despite the potential for scholarships, Tyler decided that sports were too boring, but maintains his grades as long as it doesn't interfere with his fight club, gaming time, or socializing. "Knowing is half the battle," he cites, "but the other half is violence."
Weapon: Crowbar

Starting Point: Home

Name: Randolf Schenck
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'7" 14 stone (quite light) Brown eyes, greasy brown hair, fairly short.
Occupation: Journalist
Short Bio: Randolf came to America only a few years ago, hoping to get away from his dull previous life in Germany. He became a journalist quite soon and gathered news for a small paper. During his work, he learnt karate after getting badly beaten up by one of the people he was trying to interview. He managed to reach brown belt, so was fairly good at it. With his ear to the ground, Randolf knows most of the town, his local knowledge is extensive.
Weapon: Bread Knife (the first thing to hand)

Starting Point: In the middle of town

Name: Skyler Nikki
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: 6'1", thick brown shoulder length hair, rather pale, normal weight, greeny eyes, rather strong but dosent look it
Occupation: Temping at the town hall
Short Bio: A rather uninteresting background, her father an office worker and her mother a journalist, Skyler was home-schooled for much of her earlier school life but apart from that a normal girl
Weapon: A golf club

Starting Point: In the middle of town, on her lunch break

Name: Eric Davidson
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Medium height, thin, green eyes, short black hair, white skin, clean shaven.
Occupation: College Student
Short Bio: A bit of a nerd, Eric loves videogames, and is planning on becoming a videogame developer. He is also a fairly good cook, and has a good grasp of tactics from playing strategy games. His favorite games are Left 4 Dead, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and Halo: Combat Evolved.
Weapon: Frying pan

Starting Point: Home(Dorm?)

Name: James Lifte
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dirty blonde unkempt hair, tan skin, dark brown eyes
Occupation: Surgeon in training
Short Bio: James has dedicated his life to the medical profession. He does not really do it to help people although that is a nice side-effect, but rather he is fascinated with the human body and the diseases it can contract. He lived in a poor neighborhood as a child and had to work hard to get a scholarship to pay for most of his college expenses. He is close to his father, but his mother left mysteriously when he was a small child.
Weapon: Scalpel

Starting Point: At the barricade

Name: Tracy Shannon
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Medium-short dark hair. Decidedly average physique. Roughly 5' 9". Not plain, but not especially attractive. Sunken eyes (aqua). Grey, sickly looking complexion. Rarely seen without a frown.
Occupation: "Office *****".
Short Bio: Unable to find any subjects that interested him for more than a few months, Tracy flunked out of college not once, not twice, but six times in his early twenties. Only from completing a course online did he manage to gain the qualifications to land his laughable and frustrating position as an errand runner at a marketing company.
Despite his many failures education and career-wise, Tracy is not unintelligent. His skill as a tactician is impressive, and his ability to read people unrivaled. He is, however, unbelievably lazy, and quite prone to complaining about everything.
That coupled with his tendancy to be blunt and inappropriate has severely hindered his ability to make friends. He rarely socialises outside of the occasional visit from a family member, and even those he finds bothersome.
Despite all this, he is a reasonably decent person, deep down. He would go out of his way to help a complete stranger, but not without constantly moaning as if it was the last thing he wanted to do.
Weapon: Pipe (picked up from alley)

Starting Point: Work. (Office building)

Name: Dean Shauger
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'11'' Hazel Eyes, shaved head and freshly shaven face. His hair is usually a brownish red. He has a fighters physique, weighing in at 170 pounds of long muscle (meaning he is toned but he isnt huge. Muay Thai fighter physique). He is white, and can not tan. He is about a shade or too away from being completely pale. We is in his Army ROTC uniform with his navy blue army barrette.
Occupation: College Student/ROTC cadet.
Short Bio: Dean Shauger used to be a Muay Thai and Brazilian ju jitsu fighter. He has trained to fight for nearly ten years of his life, and that is evident in his physique. He had always been the average college student, shaggy hair and constantly changing facial hair, when one day he decided a career in the military would be perfect for him. So he shaved his head and face, and signed up for ROTC. He just got home from a field lab exercise when he heard the news. His face is still caked in his Camo "dazzle paint". (I.E. the oily face paint used to camouflage the face and neck.) When he heard the news he quickly ran up stairs grabbed some weapons and headed out to try and find his friends.
Weapon: A WW1 trench knife (a knife with brass knuckles and a six inch double sided blade), and an all black Tomahawk based off of the old Vietnam Tomahawk. (it should also be noted that he took his field back which includes his canteen, sleeping bag, compass, flashlight, two MREs, and a map of the city and surrounding "wilderness")

Starting Point: Home

Name: Robert Hoole
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Robert seems pretty average- he stands an even 5' 11", and is quite slim, showing little muscle or body fat. His medium length, wavy brown hair is regularily gelled upwards. Thick eyebrows sit over light, almost honey coloured eyes, accompanied by a slightly large but very straight nose. His teeth are quite white, contrary to his tea-drinking, crumpet-eating British origin, though his front two teeth overlap somewhat. Though his face is clean-shaven, his eyes seem infinitely tired, and are often accompanied by a charming but very weary smile.
As for attire, Robert wears a clean, white button-up dress shirt, rolled up at the elbows, with a pair of black dress pants and slim black dress shoes.
Occupation: Robert works at a large, three-story Apple building in the city, as a floor salesman and a customer trainer for newly purchased items. So much of his job consists of teaching middle-aged women how to use their new Macbooks. (Who always seem very curious of his British accent.)
Short Bio: Born and raised in the loud city of London, Robert has grown with the need to live in the city, always surrounded by noise. His mother passed away giving birth to him, her second child, and his father only a year later from heart failure. At that young age, he and his sister (three years older than him) had to only relocate several blocks away to their grandmother's apartment in London. Robert grew in the city and, at the age of eighteen, accepted a scholarship in America for writing- a dream he is obviously having difficulty fulfilling, as he now works in an Apple store, and has been the past four years.
He also currently suffers from insomnia, and has the past three years. He often has nightmares of his parents' death and a 'plague' on his hometown of London, giving him a fear of sleeping.
Weapon: A shovel found from a construction site across the road. (He'll aquire it near the start.)

Starting Point: Work

Name: Wilf
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Short for his age. Has spiky blond hair, fair skin and blue eyes. Clothes wise: he always wears jeans and usually wears some kind of blue jumper, maybe green...
Occupation: Police officer, more specifically SWAT's.... son
Short Bio: After his mother died in child-birth, he has always been close to his father. And ever since a young age has wanted to grow up to be like his dad. His father relished on this attention and taught Wilf everything he knew about his job, even at a young age. Now an infection has spread though and wilf's father has the means to get him out of the city...
Weapon : a P75 pistol with no bullets

Starting Point: From the barricade

Name: Yvonne Kennedy
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5' 7" 10 stone. Long black hair and hazel eyes.
Occupation: Student
Short Bio: Daughter Of The President of The United States. Went to study at a prestigious college in a small city, to avoid attention. A quick thinker, but rather timid.
Weapon: Tazer / Pepper spray

Starting Point: Unknown

<color=blue> New Characters

Name: Kevin Stratus
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dark brown eyes with small accents of green. Short dark brown hair, slightly covering his eyes. Slightly taller than average, and skinny without much muscle or fat. Never seen without his signature black and grey striped jacket.
Occupation: None currently.
Short Bio: Kevin grew up with an opportunity to succeed, yet his laziness held him back. His parents constantly nagged him about how he could be whatever he wanted if he just concentrated on it. Instead of following this advice, he did whatever seemed fun at the time. Like slacking. Now he just sleeps, eats, and goes on his computer every day.
Weapon: Hunting knife found next to his bed, for self-defense.

Name: Will
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'7, 172 pounds, glasses (vision isn't super bad), short black hair

Occupation: A college graduate student, Advanced Game design. Studying the real-time effects of different ammunition with ballistics gelatin and human cadavers.
Short Bio: He enjoyed playing video games as a child. His father was a fitness instructor, and kept his children in excellent shape, while his mother was an accountant, and kept them sharp. Both his parents had been gamers in their youth, but had stopped. They took the hobby up again, when Ephraim and his siblings received their first gaming console. They played as a family, which caused Ephraim to aspire to become a game-designer. While working on realism in shooters, he took a visit to the morgue, and then to the ballistics lab, to see the effects of bullets. One of the med-students looked ill after coming in contact with a fresh cadaver. Suddenly, the cadaver jolted, and sprang to life, whereupon it bit Ephraim's fellow grad-students. Killing the Zombie with a nearby gun, this being the ballistics lab there were plenty, he locked his colleagues in the next room, and examined their progress. As they turned into zombies, he picked them off.

Weapon: Whatever guns he takes with him when he leaves the lab, plenty of ammunition nearby.

<color=blue>Rules And Guidelines



<color=darkred>As always: No God-modding, No super powers. You are an ordinary human.

If you fail any tasks and are bitten, you will have 3 updates to do what you want before you become one of the infected. If you wish to stay in the story for a bit longer, you may roam as a zombie, and try and hunt down the survivors. ;)
[small]Addendum: If you can stay alive as a zombie past 4 more updates (Yes I will give you updates even as a zombie) Then you will mutate into something more powerful, Basically the longer you stay as a zombie and can avoid being killed by the survivors, the more you will mutate :p
However, if they shoot you, please don't argue to much! =[ You can always return as another character is there is no one on the reserve list and the story isn't too far ahead.[/small]

<color=darkred>If you have any questions, please post in spoilers and label them as "OOC" to talk to the other members, or "GM" for a direct question to me. If its a question for anyone then stick with "OOC". (If you don't know how to make spoilers, please ask, then edit your post when you know.)

If you want to be in the story, but all the places are taken, you can be put on the reserve sheet, where I will PM you when you can enter, which will be either when someone leaves, someone falls behind, or if I think there's room for more people. ^-^

<color=darkred>I will add updates when I feel the story needs some advancing, or when they are requested.

There will be puzzles and/or tasks to solve, but don't worry, there won't be any anagrams. Or anything too hard (at first?).

<color=darkred>And lastly! Have fun, this isn't deadly serious, just stick to the laws of physics please! And remember to think outside the box once in a while, because sometimes there won't be a multiple choice.

Addendum: If you wish to start with a friend, just tell me in advance, but I will only allow 1 pair to start together, so its first post gets it :p
[small]If you want help, or want to talk about this away from the thread, add me on Twitter![/small]


Addendum: Since some players have decided to try and find the President's Daughter, I will be putting up her character sheet now =] She will be played by me. All GM posts from now on will be in
Code:
code
and Bold


[HEADING=2]The RP has begun! Starts on page 2.[/HEADING]

[sub]New rule: MIA means they can return at any point, they are just currently missing.[/sub]
