"HalfLife2.net Zombie Con" RPG Sign Ups.

[Sloth]

At the door you hand over your pass - A single Lambda card, with your username printed on the back, you?ve arrived at the HalfLife2.net convention, funded jointly by the success of Dirigible Games, Valve, Munro's vast advertising funds and the members themselves. Walking into the main lobby of the Corinthian you have a quick glance over the floor plan (http://sloth.dee.googlepages.com/Floorplan-Ground.jpg) before heading off to see the sights. Partly jet lagged from your flight into New Little Murmansk, you are eager to join the rest of the convention.

Somewhere music wafts over the room, a series of speakers circled the main lobby, over by a sound desk people queue to file the next song in a list of many. Over in Exhibit Hall "C" the occasional screams of "BOOM headshot!" can be heard above the sound of many people gaming; Rows and Rows of computers set up like an normal LAN cafe. Around the rest of the main lobby the sound of talking, laughing and general murmuring is easy on the ears. The partition between Halls "A" and "B" is open, allowing the many couches to be lounged upon, as several circles are laid out to indicate the various topic of forum chatter, but in the real world. The "debate" in the Politics section is close to fisticuffs while the Art circle is home to a few doodling on various notepads.

At the Southern side of Hall "B" a projector streams footage of the sequel to Dirigible Games' first hit on the Source Engine (http://www.dirigible-games.com/diary/), as Pi Mu Rho talks about the process of design and the implementation of the team's ideas into a final product. Suddenly the lights flicker, the back-up generators rumble slightly and the sound system cuts out - being replaced by the in house speakers, broadcasting the emergency briefing for the area.

"Please stay calm in this situation - do not use the elevators, please file outside the main lobby and wait for the emergency services to deal with the situation. Please stay calm in this situation..." The audio beings to loop as those closest to the single set of rotating doors file outside with a quick jog. Suddenly the group heading to the doors run back inside, screaming and swearing.

Through the glass windows the crowd inside can see Police Officers shooting at what seems to be a small group of crazed office workers, bullets entering their bodies to no effect. They didn't slow, only run towards the officers faster and begin to claw and bite at their bodies. Screaming rips out around the main lobby, others stand still in disbelief and a select few mutter things along the lines of; "Zombies, this is awesome!"

Welcome to the Halflife2.net Convention, sadly plagued by a small Zombie outbreak - currently a Class 2, but their numbers grow every second. To play members must have over 500 posts, or PM myself or Jintor, and sign up in the fashion dictated below. After sign ups have closed the first Chapter "Hotel Corinthian" will begin. Players actions are influenced from their 'perfect' aim or reply and a slight bending of that intended action by either of the current two GMs {Sloth or Jintor}.

[Danimal]

Age:

17

Occupation (former/current):

Pet Shop Clerk

Physical Description:

An average height, Danimal sports a physique that is a tad on the overweight side, this does not mean that he has no muscle in him however. His hair is a mix of dirty blonde and light brown, he generally shows a stone-face as his expression, though his face can twist to immense joy in the sight of humor. His clothing is generally baggy, dull-colored and at times torn purpousley, long denim pants generally worn with a plain shirt and sleeveless, black and tattered hooded jumper over it.

History:

Born and raised in Australia, Danimal has never gone overseas without his parents or other immediate family right by his side; let alone solo amongst a group of practical strangers he met on the internet. His life does not exactly contain fantastic events out of the ordinary, his parents un-divorced till present, a regular student at public education. The only noteable influence of his background would be his work around animal welfare with certain foundations and personal friends; as he grew up his knowledge about general pet care and branches out into wild animal welfare grew with him.

Abilities/Skills:

The only noteable skill Danimal posses is an expansive knowledge of animal management and behaviour. He has been training martial arts for almost six years, however he has not used it against the shambling undead.

Motivations:

Danimal's upbringing generally gives him a sense of responsibility for the sake of others, sometimes putting himself in harm's way to help another. Shy of leadership however, he would rather take orders than make them in situations of peril.

Age: 18
Occupation (former/current): University student

History: Having spent most of his life in the middle of the American South, Ennui is lost without having access to friendly black people, southern food, and warm weather.

[Raziaar]

You know, I really think this would be interesting and a good place to flex my writing skills, but I'm going to have to decide against it. :( I hope the rest of you all have fun though!

[dekstar]

Age: 18
Occupation (former/current): Uni Student
Physical Description: Roughly 6 foot 4", Dekstar has a very slim frame and small looking muscles. He is however pretty strong endurance-wise (but not as good at lifting things as a medium-build person would be). Dekstar can run for extended periods of time at a medium pace, but excells at running very fast for short periods of time. His small frame also makes him an excellent candidate for fitting into small spaces, due to his natural 'bendy-ness', derived from a history of Ballet.
History: Grew up near Pembroke docks, Dekstar regularily attended Ballet classes, where he learned exceptional balance skills perfectly suited for his frame size. When his family moved to mid-Wales this tradition carried on for a good while. However, gaming soon took over as his forte, and Dekstar got better at as many games as he could.
Abilities/Skills: While not too handy with many weapons (though he knows which end to hold), Dekstar can find his way around many places, even without a map. He also has a knack for finding ways to get into places without a proper entrance. Preferred weapons would be ones he could use while atop a high place, where he is unreachable.
Motivations: Survival, making sure as many people in a group are fine.

EDIT: Come on Razzy!

[Insano]

Age: 18 years

Occupation (former/current): He is a student, studying Civil engineering. His specialty is chemistry, going from all kinds of poisons to explosive devices. He's the brains.

Physical Description: Insano is an athletic male. People tend to make remarks about his Aryan look (blue eyes, blond hair). The thing that impresses most people is his height, which is 1,95m, though his weight is only 80 kg.

History: Belgium is his motherland, but he has seen and dealt with all kinds of environments. He was born in Antwerp.

Abilities/Skills: Insano has been training for the past two months to reach his top physical condition. He has been playing basketball for over 10 years and knows how to use his body. Insano isn't interested by guns in particular, although he knows how to handle them. Creating killer devices on the other hand is the thing he does best. See him as the guy that creates the gadgets for James Bond. Insano definately knows how to keep his head cool in tight situations.

Motivations: He is a groups person, and gets along with everybody. If needed, he'll step forward and take command of a group. This does not mean however that he can't take orders. "Whatever is best for the group", is his moto.

[Ravioli]

Age: 17
Occupation (former/current): Student
Physical Description: Tall but slim
History: Borned and raised in Stockholm Sweden, Ravioli migrated into northern Italy, 1 hour away from Venice.
Abilities/Skills: Ravioli has outragous skills when it comes to snowboarding and talking people into doing something against their will.
Motivations: Ravioli highly priorities himself as the most important guy in the group but also thinks the survival of the communitiy is extremly important because he becomes an alcoholc when hes lonely...so he better not get cut off from the rest of the group.

Let the zombie slaughter begin :smoking:

[Mikael Grizzly]

Age: 19 years old

Occupation (former/current): Student of law

Physical Description: Standing at 1.86 meters with 80 kg, he a certain athletic look, though due to lack of real physical exercise, the physical abilities of an average man. Mike has dark blonde hair, bordering on brown and doesn't shave regularly due to laziness. For the convention, he wore a white jacket with light brown, cream pants and a black shirt underneath.

Not to mention stylish eyeglasses.

History: Son of a lawyer and a doctor, Mike was raised in a highly liberal and intellectual atmosphere. He received proper basic education and just started his studies of law, to ultimately become a lawyer like his father.

He has a high intelligence, and is an easy going person, but tends to be a chatterbox and acts in a slightly insane way at times.

Abilities/Skills: High intelligence and organization skills make him a good tactician and logistics manager. He also tends to think outside the box and can be useful for assignments requiring unconventional approach. His scavenger instinct makes him also ideal for raiding parties - you never know what can be useful.

He also has a tendency to dominate people and trying to estabilish leadership. Highly volatile when not taken into consideration.

In combat, he loathes foghting close, but would make a good marksman with any kind of firearm.

Motivations: Numerous. One is earning respect and fame, another is getting a chance to rumble. One of them is also greed, as lifting items of value will pay off when the crisis is averted. Besides, they're dead, they don't care.

Plus, who can pass an occassion to shoot (dead) people without consequences?

[TheAntipop]

Age: 17 (18 in Dec wooo)

Occupation (former/current): Sixth Form graphic design/music tech student

Physical Description: Although sporting a bit of a gut, a fairly good level of fitness from cycling to college every day and running/jogging, but although the weights say different my image is that of a big build, but not huge/obese or anything, just a bit o' a belly heh. Regardless of which, I'd say I've a good stamina of movement from biking to college/the area every day aswell as running and jogging, aswell as used to being in the Army cadets a few years ago. Untidy, fairly long hair (in need of a trim, actually) curtain'd at the front with a unkept, unshavern beard as of 8 or 9 months. Always wearing a pair of 3/4 shorts, a longsleeve with Ben Sherman work shirt and a pair of K-Swiss general purpose trainers. Always. I'd never have it any different.

History: Spend alot of my time reading, writing, drawing and playing/making music, aswell as dossing on the Internet studying, and if not them out on my bike or seeing my friends. Born in Britan, resided in Wolverhampton all my life.

Abilities/Skills: I've fired the British general assault rifle (SA80) a few times on the ranges, aswell as the LSW once, and with both I was acclaimed for accuracy, aswell as the occasional air rifle shooting I'd do with my friends dad in Wales, who too approved of my accuracy. As already said, I can keep up a run for a fairly long time despite my physical appearance. Failing that, give me a bike and an MP3 player and I'll even hook my back wheel to a generator for you all. :D

Motivations: Pretty much the standard answer of survival for this one, really.

[sinkoman]

Age: 16 on the 25th
Occupation (former/current): Student seeking part time work
Physical Description: 5' 10", 140lbs. Fairly dark skinned male, slim yet not skinny. Fair build, not intensely strong but by no means scrawny in appearance. Long brown hair that appears black unless under bright light, styled in a late eighties near mullet fashion. Left leg is noticeably skinnier than the right due to corrective surgery after being born club footed. There is nearly no muscle mass on the left calf, yet there is enough to disguise the condition until my pant legs have been raised above knee level.
History: Had anger issues as a child, and after a short stint in a mental institution and subsequently being released after it was noted that I did not belong there (stayed two days, was put there after slitting my thumb open purposefully), I was diagnosed with OCD, which I did not notice for much of my life. Used to be very hyperactive, and preferred to spend my time indoors playing video games or on the computer. Father died when I was five, he was hit by a car whilst out on his bike. Used to get in a lot of trouble for beating up this kid who every day, had something irritating to say. Eventually it got to the point where they'd reprimand him instead of me, as it was obvious that he was just egging me on and asking to be beaten up.

Started out at a private school, Montessori, but finished fifth and sixth grade in a public school, Hokulani elementary. Middleschool completed at a catholic school, St Patrick's School. Currently attending Kaiser High School.

I've moved innumerable time. I've really stopped caring where I live, so long as it's got a roof. Put me in a park and i'll be happy to spend the night.

First half of my life, I dispised the logical, and thrived for creative enrichment. My life has taken a considerably opposite turn, with my interest now including Programming, Electronics, and Motor-sports, motorbiking specifically. Used to skate a bit, I can do an ollie, i've lost interest in the sport now.

Had an interest in webdesign from around 9-11 years old. I'm confident in saying that in that time period, I had managed the skills to have started my own business and perhaps even taught some folks the trade. Have been programming for a long time, learning PHP when I was 11. Electronics took hold of me when I was around 13. I've been on a motorbike since I was eight.

Took kempo from the 4th grade to the 7th, hated it. Wrestled for 3 years, once in the eight grade, and my freshman and sophomore years. Freshman year I did outstandingly poor, sophomore year I only placed fourth in my division, yet during the island championships, I managed to beat my regional division champ, so i'd say it was a bit of an accomplishment.

Smoke weed on occasion, although it used to be a weekly affair. I'll smoke cigarettes so often, yet i've been on the verge of addiction, so I know my limits. Only been truly wasted once or twice. I've had enough bad experiences with weed to know my limits when it comes to substances.
Abilities/Skills: Some artistic abilities, though I won't say they're anything notable. I'm good at arguing/debating. I've been told time and time again that i'm a magnificent writer, but i've yet to pursue it on my own accord, aside from a story I posted on HL2.net a while back. I do LOVE to write though. Things involving logic are what i'm best at. Programming, electronics, arguing, that sort of stuff. I really love to make stuff too.
Motivations: Aside from entertainment, the expansion of my mind, and a thirst for knowledge, absolutely none. I. Am. A. Lazy. ****.

Pics:

Picture of me in my riding jersey. I'm on the right. That's not what my hair generally looks like, i've got helmet hair in this picture.

An older picture, but that's basically still me. Notice the build, especially the leg...

History: Born of britain, David was one of the brightest minds of his youth.
Abilities/Skills: Is good with numbers
Motivations: The zombies created a perpertual motion machine (cookie to anyone who gets why he hates this).

[Darkside55]

Sinko, you and I got some things in common. We even look like we could be related, haha.

Age: 24

Occupation (former/current): Professional bum (unemployed)

Physical description: 5'11, 159lbs. Not too strong, physically. Short black hair, brown eyes, light-ish skin. Filipino/Irish descent; can pass for a couple different races.

History: Was a nomad for a lot of my life, moving around a lot. Mainly lived in California's Bay Area; born in San Leandro, grew up near Oakland. Knows how to keep a cool head and a low profile because of it.

I've been all over California, lived in most places, even had a stint up in cold, rainy Washington state near where Valve's located. Currently settled down in CA's central valley.

College graduate. Not a good track record with school prior to that.

Abilities/Skills: Tinkerer. Had a childhood love of MacGyver that used to compel me to take things apart, put 'em back together, make new things out of them. Comes in handy a lot when I have to repair mechanical things. I can also fashion impromptu tools and weapons out of everyday objects.

Been using computers since the age of 2, high proficiency with them.

Father (deceased, former police officer) showed me how to use a gun from a young age. Only gun I really know is a magnum; I can handle other pistols, but I can take apart, clean, and put a bullet into a target with a revolver with my eyes closed.

I know a little bit about cars from my stepdad (who, for all intents and purposes, is my real dad); he works at Toyota. My knowledge of cars is very little, though, I should stress that. I can probably diagnose a few problems and fix fewer, but I generally understand what's going on with them.

Well read, and one of the subjects I've devoted myself to learning is survival and military tactics. I sleep next to a copy of Carl Von Clausewitz's "On War." I'm able to coordinate and plan, and I've come up with zombie survival plans before. I'm a quick thinker and I can assess situations, process them, and formulate a plan based off of what we have.

I also write and dabble in art, neither of which is helpful in a zombie invasion.

Motivations: I hate zombies. Pure and simple. Had a dream once when I was a child that I was being pursued by zombies. Funny thing, I never watched scary movies when I was that young. I don't even think I knew what a zombie was. But I had that dream when I was a child, and it's stuck with me. I hate zombies. I god-damned hate them. It's innate...like the mongoose hates the cobra, and must kill it, so too does Darkside hate the zombie, and must cut off its head.

On top of that, or rather because of that, my motivation is to see everyone safe and make sure no one falls to the zombies. I abhor the thought of watching people stripped of their personalities to become a thoughtless, shambling, flesh-consuming shell of a human being. Few people give enough thought to the horror of becoming a zombie; I have, and I hate the things for it.

Sinko, you and I got some things in common. We even look like we could be related, haha.

In regards to the statement concerning our similar looks, it's most likely because we're of nearly the same descent.

I'm half Filipino, half Italian. Just like you, I can pass as a million and one different races. I've been called Spanish, Samoan, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and more.

I'm having a bit of fun creating these little buggers...

[Jintor]

You know, I really think this would be interesting and a good place to flex my writing skills, but I'm going to have to decide against it. :( I hope the rest of you all have fun though!

Awww, why? :(

The awesome writing skills of Raziaar would be much appreciated.

[Darkside55]

You better not be creating voodoo zombies. If you're creating voodoo zombies, I'll fscking kill you. I may be the only person here who knows how to handle voodoo zombies, and I DO NOT LIKE HANDLING VOODOO ZOMBIES.

The vodoun zombi is a bitch to kill.

[Koola Mena]

What are you on about Darky? :p
Sloth said, "I'm having a bit of fun creating these little buggers," when Marley commented on the type of zombies we'll be facing.

I'm just saying, they had better be biological zombies, or we're boned. I'm going to tell you that right now, we are BONED. It'd require a drastic shift of the plans I laid out in the other thread and the mortality rate would quadruple, at least.

You can't just kill a zombi. Most of the time only fire will work...sometimes not even fire will work. Only surefire way to stop vodoun zombies is to kill the Bokor, the vodoun sorceror who created the zombies in the first place. Good news is, he's always got to be close to the zombies...without him nearby to issue commands, they'll either follow one preset command or they'll mill about doing absolutely nothing. Quite harmless. The Bokor is always close...

Darkside is a zombie expert, he studied Zombology at the University of Zom.
Specifically, I have a Ph.D. in Tactics and Strategies. My disseration was, "Effectiveness of the Mobile Fortress: Securing, Retrofitting, and Arming a Mid-to-Full-Size Schoolbus, and the Projected Survival Increase."

I wanted to teach after receiving my doctorate--I don't think I'll ever see a zombie invasion in my life so I wanted to pass on my knowledge to future generations who might.

One of my old professors though, he told me, "You're still young. Maybe you'll see a zombie, maybe you won't, but if you do, you're still young enough to do something about it. Come back in a few decades when all you can do is teach."

[Jintor]

Out of interest, did any of your teachers have Chainsaws attached to their arms?

[Darkside55]

Now that you mention it there's a rather large framed photo of such a person in the Founder's Hall, but I never paid much attention to it.

[AJ Rimmer]

This reminds me of a similar RPG I did at another forum a few years ago. This looks just as promising...

Age:
19

Occupation (former/current):
Language Student/Writer

Physical Description:
Tall, heavy, dark hair, glasses.

History:
Born and raised in Sweden, he now studies english at university.

Abilities/Skills:
Worthless at hand-to-hand combat and at most above average with firearms he prefers to strategise. He prefers to solve problems as part of a team but shuns responsibility and leadership. Paranoid but intelligent, keeps writing things (speeches, actions, comments) down in a notepad.

Motivations:
Simply wants to live. Heroics are for people who wish die early. Meanwhile, he keeps taking notes in the hopes this will all make a good book some day, if he only could think of a good title... oh yeah, and survive the ordeal.

[Darkside55]

Nobody's handing anyone over to the zombies.

Except the ambidextrous people. Them folks ain't right!

[Bob_Marley]

You better not be creating voodoo zombies. If you're creating voodoo zombies, I'll fscking kill you. I may be the only person here who knows how to handle voodoo zombies, and I DO NOT LIKE HANDLING VOODOO ZOMBIES.

The vodoun zombi is a bitch to kill.

IIRC its a choice between fire and wacking the zombie master. Though that was in the ZSG, so it may well be a whole load of boll*cks.

Even if I was right, I can see why that would be a problem. And if I'm wrong I'm guessing its a bigger problem.

[Darkside55]

They actually covered that in the ZSG?! Well well, maybe that book isn't as worthless as I once believed. Or at least, it sursprises me with the information it's collected. Truth be told I've only skimmed it, didn't jive with some things I read, so...

Fire works sometimes. Depends on the type of zombi created. Fire destroys the body, you see, but the Bokor has a leash on the zombi's spirit. The body could be fixed and the soul put back into it. I've heard some unsubstantiated claims that a zombi spirit can be placed into ANY dead body. Sometimes the zombies even resist the fire. Best thing to do is kill the sorceror.

[Koola Mena]

We have a job i guess then huh?

Jintor plus me are waiting will next monday to start the first chapter - just so we can do a start up situation for each player...

[Danimal]

Clearly Sloth is going to be the Dunge-- Zombie master.

[Darkside55]

Oh snap, he's the zombie master?! SLOTH I DONE TOLD YOU NOT TO BE MAKING WITH THEM HOODOO ZOMBIES AND YOU'RE THE MASTER! I'mma break your face Sloth, come 'ere! It's the only way to stop 'em!

[Danimal]

No, John, you are the demons.


And john was a zombie.

Occupation (former/current): Student. At the time of the convention has just finished his Leaving Certificate exam and is planning on going on to study physics in university.

Physical Description: Just under 6ft tall and near 12 stone in weight. Is of average fitness. Exercises but is not a real fitness-enthusiast. White and pimpled. Shoulder-length, dark-brown hair. Blue-grey eyes that often lack any emotion.

Is computer literate. Can stay quite and still for quite some time if necessary (though his friends find this hard to believe).

Motivations: Not a very motivated or ambitious person, besides a vague interest in physics and computers and ideas of writing (though not much actual practice), but will fight to stay alive until the last breath.

[Sloth]

MOAR BACKGROUND NEEDED

Also, post more in-depth on your characters!

I'm going to need to agree with MG here - we can really do with some deeper background for some characters, gives us more to work with, Riom's is about just right, more is better.

EDITY: On counting of the players that have signed up so far 23 in total, it seems that we may need another GM, if any are wanting - talk to me or Jintor...

Physical: Description: just under 6ft, slightly above average fitness, weighs 12 stone.

Abilities/Skills: Able to climb and run fast and is known for being agile when the situation calls for it. Can manage many low tech weapons and is quick to learn new skills.

Occupation: Currently a student attending his "C" School at Fleet Combat Training Center Atlantic studying Radar Display and Computers.

Physical Description: At a reasonable height of 5'10", he packed on a few pounds after his time in boot camp and school thereafter. Now weighing around 165 lbs., he is proficient at running for a long period of time. Rather slim in upper-body appearance, though still physically fit. Usually seen suited with a comfortable pair of jeans and t-shirt.

History: Born and raised in Jersey. Spent most of his childhood years in Salem County, New Jersey(southern). For the first half of '07 he was in Great Lakes, IL for training. Now resides in Virginia to finish out his schooling.

Used to shoot soda cans with a .22 caliber rifle in his father's friend's basement. Also experienced in loading and unloading small arms hastily. His hand-eye coordination is a force to be reckoned with. Maintains himself in tense and overwhelming situations. PDQ typist. Unlikely to take the lead a group, much better fit on his own and having the group as backup. Fanatic of Romero's classic zombie films and apocalyptic films of the time, which has led him to frequently imagine himself in a zombie apocalypse and holing up at the nearest mall. Enjoys math and applies it to everything. Likable, level-headed, and realistic.

Bring on World War Z. I'm waiting and ready.

Motivations: Eager to escape reality. And blasting zombies to smithereens. I mean, come on, can't pass up an opportunity like that. Also protecting those I love.

History: Parents = Divorced, Father lives in South Carolina with a Red Haired woman, whom looks like Cathy Bates, named Jackie. Lives with mother.
Abilities/Skills: Can entertain with drums, can use infinite supply of drumsticks to either beat the shit out of zombies, give others something to beat the shit out of zombies with, or projectiles. Also has small Splash cymbals to throw. (Come in packs of 4)
Motivations: Desire to become a musician, to prove father wrong, to make mother proud, to **** up some zombie asses and get home to play OB in October.

Btw, that was mostly a joke. I just want to observe. :bounce:

Btw, the story that darkside wrote kicks total complete ass. O_O

[Krynn72]

Man, that story is turning out more fun than I thought it would. If I can somehow be worked in later into the story, then I'd like to join up. Ill post my basic info now, to make it easier.

Age: 21
Occupation (former/current): Student, learning computer animation.
Physical Description: 6' 230lb. A big, broad guy. Surprisingly fast for size, although still not "quick." Lots of strength, lots of momentum when moving :)

History: Raised in Connecticut his entire childhood, he never traveled much. Only in recent years has he traveled and lived on his own, without parental support. Living on his own for the past three years has made him independent, and used to following his own decisions.

Abilities/Skills: Good with computers, logical reasoning under pressure, slow to anger (not prone to brash actions), able to beat shit up and take hits (from years of being a defensive lineman on football teams). He can also drive very well, which came out of necessity while living in Orlando.

Motivations: Not motivated by anything in particular. Has lived his life up to this point just moving with the natural flow of his life. It could be said though, that he has always had one constant motivation... He is always sure to see things to the end.

[Beerdude26]

Beerdude26 (Nicknamed Beer)

Age: 18

Occupation (former/current): Student, learning computer programming.

Physical Description: At around 6' tall and weighing in at 145lb, Beer doesn't seem much of a fighter. According to himself, he mainly relies on finesse and agility to get around, trying to avoid any full-on fighting.

History: Living in Belgium for his entire life, he has an excellent knowledge of Dutch and a good understanding of French. English, of course, is also his 'second mother tongue', speaking it with an Oxfordish accent. (OOC: Or so I've heard :p) Being 18, he was allowed to travel here unsupervised. He's incredibly eager to meet some of the HL2.netters in real life.

Abilities/Skills: Beer knows how to use computers and has a few notions of basic network wiring. Having gone through his first year of college, he knows how to code in C and HTML. His linguistic skills have been a major help in his diplomatical way of life. While he certainly isn't strong, Beer knows how to handle himself. He does Parkour as a hobby, getting on ledges, pipes and the like easier than most people.

Motivations: Hoping to someday open up a computer shop of his own, Beer has put a lot of effort into his studies.

[Smoke]

Some people have had to drop out (You'll see later on) so you guys may be worked in. I say may because we are not sure yet, so don't hold me to that.

I hope you are, though.

[Sloth]

We will try to think of something if we can...

[Krynn72]

Yay!

If theres no sensible way to do it, dont worry about it. I'll only cry for a few minutes at most.

[Sloth]

The most logical thing to do would be insert you in the Next Chapter - but that might be a while {maybe a week or two, depends on how fast they move...}

[Darkside55]

There are supposed to be 700 people at this convention, so people can still be squeezed in. Rather than waiting for other chapters, we can work people in simply by meeting up with them in an area where they would likely be; e.g., one of the main halls, one of the hotel floors. There are easy ways to put new people into the story, so long as it isn't, "And then, this guy showed up."

[Sloth]

I know what you mean... Just that within a chapter break things within the Hotel might have changed a little, allowing for a better break to insert people in.

[Azner]

To insert them in as a group would work out pretty well i think

[Smoke]

Putting people in is easy, we just need to wait a short time before we introduce anybody. Chapter 2 should see some new faces, assuming they still want to play.

[Dog--]

eh, what the hell, I'll give it a go (although I usually suck at these things).

Age: 16

Physical Description: 5'6", brown hair, brown eyes, real god damn sexy, young looking for my age.

History: Canadian

Abilities/Skills: Lockpicking (for real), basic combat (like disarming people, basic strikes/holds/etc. and stuff like that), nothing else really relevant to zombie survival :\

Motivations: I like to live, so I suppose I should try maintain that life-style?



A suggestion on why the people just signing up weren't at the hotel - we were on a plane to get to the hotel, but it crashed, and when we all meet (survivors of the plane and survivors at the hotel) is when we are just arriving at the hotel from the crash site (maybe it was a long ways away, or a short ways with alot of obstacles like zombies, explosions, etc)

[Krynn72]

So as not to post in the actual story thread, im going to say this here.

I think giving this its own forum was a bad idea. Some people are probably going to forget about it since its kind of buried now.

[Sloth]

We'll PM all those involved - and it isn't that hard to find...

[Krynn72]

I know, its just that before it was right up where everyone would see it anyways. Now, people have to actually look for it, and see if there are new posts. It seems like whenever an area gets a specific sub-forum, activity dwindles. Hopefully im wrong, since just watching so far has been a blast.

[Jintor]

I dunno. Mebbe stickying it would've been a better idea.

I don't mind the subforum though, we might be able to split it up into floors or something.

Im large and bulky. I dont drink, but I guess thats an explanation to get smashed so quickly after a zombie apocalypse.

[Jintor]

What's the likelihood of you getting smashed off your face in the event of a zombie apocolypse and attaacking Danimal and Co. thinking they're zombies?

[Krynn72]

Well, I guess I would get smashed off my face easily and quickly, since I dont normally drink. And I think a zombie apocalypse would be a good enough reason for me to start drinking heavily. As for attacking them? Who knows, maybe im a violent drunk?

"Application"

Age: 18

Occupation (former/current): Software Engineer / Computer Scientist

Physical Description: Fairly tall, usually standing above a crowd, Druckles is fairly lean, with no particularly obvious muscle, giving off a sense of being bony and long. He has pretty ordinary, one might say boring, brown coloured hair, fairly large hands, and a sharp facial structure. He has the face of someone you wouldn't remember, his only distinguishing features being his eyes, deep and mysterious.
He is wearing a long-sleeved, beige top, jeans and trainers.

History: Spending most of his life, so far in education, Druckles left sixth form at his grammar school to take up a career Software Engineering and a Consultancy before heading off to University. His parents were Christian, and he had a rather sheltered lifestyle, resulting in an almost unstable personality. Rarely the centre of any good attention, and often bullied or teased, he questioned his role in life, wondering what he was actually doing still alive. Born in Manchester, two siblings and no girlfriend, there's no reason for you to pay any further attention to him.

Abilities/Skills: Has previously taken a brief introduction to weapons. He can generally keep his head under alot of situations, being often devoid of emotions. He also has a short fuse under pressure. Can think logically out of a situation.

Motivations: Will accept death, more so if it means saving the life of someone else. Would prefer it to get back.

Edit: Will wait for a "go" to join the fray...

[Krynn72]

At age 16 he enlisted into the military he recieved training in weapons in *Krav Maga, he was at the top of his class. He immediatly saw action, soon he was promoted and asked to join the special forces. After many years of combat he married and moved to the US in hopes of a safer home.

Abilities/Skills: Wlash is an expert in *Krav Maga which means he can use many non-weapon objects as weapons. He is quite a marksman with a rifle or pistol. He can stay calm and cool during a battle and most important can keep is wits about him and think clearly during battles.

Motivations: He's been in to many god forsaken wars to die like this. And his wife.

*In Krav Maga, there are no hard-and-fast rules, and no distinction in training for men and women. It is not a sport, and there are no specific uniforms, attire or competitions, although some organizations recognise progress through training with rank badges and different levels. All the techniques focus on maximum efficiency in real-life conditions. Krav Maga generally assumes that the individual attacking will give no quarter; therefore, as a response the attacks and defenses are intended only for use in potentially lethal threat situations with the aim to neutralize and escape as rapidly and safely as possible. Crippling attacks to vulnerable body parts, including groin and eye strikes, headbutts, and other efficient and potentially brutal attacks, improvised use of any objects available, and maximizing personal safety in a fight, are emphasized. However, it must be stressed that instructors can and do demonstrate how to moderate the techniques to fit the circumstances. While no limits are placed on techniques to be used in life-threatening situations, the legal need to inflict the appropriate minimal damage in other circumstances is recognized and stressed.

[Emporius]

Age: 16


Occupation (former/current): Student


Physical Description: Emporius is around 6"1, lean, with little evident muscle. He has thick brown hair, a rough angular face, and two webbed toes :D. Emporius is in decent shape, but handles endurance better than spurts of heavy activity.


History: Emporius grew up in Nova Scotia and his current home Ottawa, Canada. In school he has never been a consistent top-performer (but is extremely intelligent in terms of random knowledge),and is moderately popular. He lives in a stable family who have passed on their open-minded morals to him, making him a very understanding individual.


Abilities/Skills: Emporius has Tourette Syndrome, which gives him twitches and 'tics'. The upside is that it gives him increased creativity and heightened reflexes (quite above the norm). Emporius has very high endurance, and in situations can completely ignore pain to continue on. Once his adrenaline is flowing, he will not stop for anything to complete whatever it his attempting to do. Emporius is a canoer and wilderness man, and is very proficient is surviving in the wilderness or with low supplies. However, he has never used a firearm besides a paintball gun.

Emporius in a natural leader, and works well with groups



Motivations: Emporius plans to survive, but above all help others before himself. This isn't some damn airplane gas mask...
