((Largely based on the idea from Highschool of the Dead.))
"Welcome to Clayton, the New York of North Carolina! This large urban city is filled with a populace to match the city size. Multiple skyscrapers stretch toward the sky with a maze of roads and buildings that stretch out in all directions. Five miles from the coast, come catch a few rays or spend your time traveling through our wonderful downtown shopping center. Don't miss our Pharaoh exhibit at the Museum of Natural History."
This is the greeting you would see in a pamphlet for Clayton, North Carolina. A large urban city with just about every store or attraction that one can imagine. This story begins at Clayton High School. The usual boring school day is in session and most everyone is in class listening to dull lectures. What everyone doesn't realize that while this may have started as a perfect day....it is about to become the perfect hell...
Rules
1.I realize that this is an RP based off of a rather mature anime, however that doesn't mean that we have to make it just as mature. Please adhere to all of the rules within YWS.
2.In terms of language use I am going to leave that up to those that are interested in joining. I personally don't have a problem with it, but if we want to make this more of a all ages allowed RP, I am fine with that as well.
3.All characters are meant to be human and without superpowers. Semi-realistic. Though unique skills (Such as being able to jump start a car) are allowed but please keep it somewhat limited. No people that are able to survive a zombie apocalypse with a stick of gum and a paperclip.
4.Romace is allowed.
5.No controlling other people's character without permission.
6.No God-Moding
7.Most important rule....have fun! This is all meant for the enjoyment of the group, so please have fun.
General Zombie info
I am going to say that none of the characters for this RP are aware of any of this information without either spending time studying them or through personal experience. The source of this disease is completely unknown, even by the military and the governments of the world. No one knows how or where it started. It seemed to be everywhere at once all of a sudden.
As there are a HUGE selection of zombie types out there, I am going to stick with the ones that are within the Highschool of the Dead world. For those of you that aren't aware of what those are, allow me to explain.
While they are your normal style zombies in a sense (Consuming flesh, turning anyone bit into one of them) there are a few minor differences. For one thing, these zombies do no hunt by sight or by smell, even touching them does nothing. They hunt by sound, meaning that you could sneak through a crowd of zombies as long as you made little to no noise. A gasp, a yelp, or stumbling over your own two feet and falling will immediately alert them to you and well....I'm sure you all know what the outcome will be.
These zombies are not fast mainly shuffling and stumbling about. They can walk up stairs, but they can't walk down if they are slightly relatively steep (Like those you might find in a mall or an escalator). Steep hills also give them trouble, but they are usually able to recover from such falls.
Zombies retain their incredible strength in this version. Getting grabbed by one doesn't mean certain death, but it would be like Arnold Schwarzenegger grabbing hold of you. You can get out, it will just take some work.
Bites are the only means of transferring the disease. If a person is bitten they have a max of one hour before they die. After death it takes no longer than a minute for the dead to become a zombie.
Character sheet
All characters will begin in the high school, so please create one that actually makes sense for being there. No war veterans unless they became a science teacher or something. If/when we leave the school if people would like to add characters from outside the school then that is fine.
