This storybook is a co-foundership storybook with equal say between both me and my co-founder, TheLuckyTurtle. Any questions anyone has should be placed on the Discussion Thread to be answered by both of us. Either me or LuckyTurtle will post are agreed upon answer to all questions. The plot and info below are the premises of what me and TheLuckyTurtle came up with. Enjoy.


Plot:

Spoiler

You and 11 other teenagers are trapped in a high school. There are 12 of you in total. No other people in this town are alive, nor in the high school. Your families have all been eaten by zombies or separated to the point that you can't find them. You managed to find 1(only 1) weapon before you got to the school. You and the other 11 people decided that the high school was the best option in surviving the zombie apocalypse due to the still running electricity there, the large storage of food that is kept there, and the fact that there wouldn't be many people who would choose to survive in a school building. The school is surrounded by zombies.

Special note about the zombies:

Name: Ryder Hale

Age: 16

Description: Ryder has cropped dark brown hair and a fair complexion. He has emerald green eyes with glints of gold surrounding the pupil. Standing at about 5'11'', he is slim but fairly muscular. He dresses casually and always has a leather jacket around him.

Personality: Ryder is dark and mysterious. He keeps to himself mainly due to trust issues, but is loyal to those who he lets in. He's a no-nonsense kind of guy and will often demonstrate his opinion in whatever way possible. He expects others to pull their own weight and won't hesitate to pull his own.

History: Back before the apocalypse, Ryder was a rebel and took everything he had for granted. He pushed his whole family away and went down a path he most certainly regrets now. After the world went to hell, though, he came home and found his house ransacked with no sign of his family still living. He met up with the other teens and made a run for the high school, deciding it was better than nothing.

Weapon: A modern bow and quiver equip with thirty or so arrows.

Skillset: Ryder is light on his feet and is a fast runner.

Other info not listed above: Up for Love, straight.

Name: Arden Freret (It's pronounced fruh-ray but everone calls her Ferret)

Age: 17

Description: Arden stands at around 5'7 with a very slender body. She's got curves in all the right places, but nothing that holds her back, seeing that she used to be on the soccer team and was constantly running. She has auburn red hair that reaches down past her shoulder blades and vibrant blue eyes. She wears black jeans and a black tank under a denim crop jacket and a leather studded jacket over that. She prefers her studded combat boots over any of her shoes. She also refuses to take her dog tags off of her neck as well as the silver ring and the ID tag that belonged to Brantley when he was born.

Personality: Arden, despite her intimidating style, is extremely bubbly. She will speak her mind if something isn't going her way and isn't afraid to stand out from the mold the rest of the soccer players fit to. She can be girly and a huge tomboy, but she feels as if she's right in the middle. Being on a soccer team since she was four years old, she knows that almost everything is a TEAM effort. Losing everyone, including her son, she's distanced herself.

History: Arden lived the majority of her life by herself, from the time her older brother shipped off to the military when she was ten, until now. Her mother was a doctor in the military and her father was a general. Since their retirement when she was twelve, and they were in their fifties, they have been traveling almost constantly. When she was fifteen, she got pregnant with a guy she'd been dating since she was thirteen. It was one of those middle school things. She had Brantley and by the time she was sixteen, she was back in school and playing soccer again. When the infection hit, her boyfriend was one of the first to come to her and tell her, begging her to kill him. He was the first hashmark in her boomerang. As more and more came to her, risking herself getting infected, she decided to leave. Not going into detail on how she saved Brantley's innocence, but after the deed was done she left her house and went to the school.

Weapon: A boomerang her parents brought back from some trip they went on. It's silver and black and extremely sharp to the touch. It stretches from her elbow to the tip of her middle finger. She has to wear her thick leather gloves in order to use it.

Skillset: Has increased stamina and very nimble on her feet. She's great at dodging things, in other words.

I've actually never been in a zombie storybook before. Save me a male spot!

Name: Twyla Halley

Age: 16

Description: Twyla stands at five feet six inches, and she has a thin, lanky build. Her skin is quite pale, and she has freckles on her nose and cheeks. Her eyes are dark gray, and she has glossy black hair, usually tied back in a ponytail. She wears large square glasses with thick black frames. When she runs for the high school, she's wearing flare jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt with a diagram of a chocolate molecule on it, and her favorite bomber jacket.

Personality: Twyla is a complete geek. She gets straight As, loves science, and is president and founder of the school's chemistry club. She's optimistic most of the time, and she'll always have a terrible science pun ready if her friends need a laugh. She can be jumpy at times, but rarely panics when things don't go as planned. She thinks everything through, and she's very creative. She loves to build little gadgets, and she's a pyromaniac.

History: Twyla is the youngest of three children, so she ended up being the
most ignored. She doesn't mind, though--it's actually worked to her advantage; her parents basically micromanaged her older brothers' lives, but they've mostly left Twyla alone. She's learned to do everything herself, and eventually started spending a lot of time at school, for fear of her parents deciding to tell her what to do, too. She was on her way home from a chemistry club meeting when she ran into the other teens.

Weapon: Her homemade marshmallow gun, which will shoot anything she can fit inside.

Skillset: Twyla is great at chemistry; she can make all sorts of explosives and other combustible materials from scratch, and if she has the right materials, she can make things like grenades and time bombs.

Other: Up for love (straight) if the guy can get the message across. She's a little clueless socially.

Reserve a girl spot for me please. I think that the name will be...umm Aubry Banks. Her skillset will be medical health.Ill make a profile later on today

Nothing I like more than a zombie apocalypse!

Name: Alexandria (Shortened to Alex and 'Lex) York

Age(must be between 15-18): 16

Description: Alex is small and petite, probably around 5'3. She has blonde hair that is dip-dyed blue after a dare from her friends during a sleepover, she grew to like it and refused to get rid of it when school told her too. She has dull brown eyes and sometimes wears reading glasses, when she's reading, writing or trying to think something up. She came to the school wearing ripped skinny jeans and a band shirt, with a pair of converse pumps, she has no jacket.

Personality: Alex wasn't very social, and hung around with a select group of friends before the outbreak - if she feels comfortable around you, you're fine. She doesn't speak her mind much and just does what other people tell her to do - and sits around waiting for instructions. If she's having a one-on-one conversation with someone, she'll make jokes and sarcastic comments.

History: Alex is a good kid, she lived with her father after her Mother passed away a few years back. Her Dad works hard, and apologised constantly for not being home much since she had to look after herself a lot. Her Dad was out at work when she first saw the zombie, and fled to the school - she has no idea if he is alive or dead.

Weapon: When she ran to the school, she passed a gym shop that had been broken into - the first thing she saw was a baseball bat, she picked it up and ran.

Skillset: Alex isn't the smartest at school, but she excelled in Science so she should be able to create something that she could throw at the zombies - and she somehow made it onto the track team, being a natural runner.

Picture:(if wanted)

Other info not listed above: She is up for love, but like I said - it's hard to get her to open up to you.

Name: Clifford "Cliff" Jamers

Age(must be between 15-18): 17

Description: Clifford has messy brown hair and bright green eyes. He's 6"1 and muscular, something required of him if he wants to stay on the basketball team. He also has a tattoo on his left shoulder blade of a hummingbird in regards to his mother.

Picture:

Spoiler

Personality: Clifford is sweet, but competitive and stern. If he knows someone can do better he will push them towards their full potiental, an attribute that's secured his spot as captain of the team since his sophmore year. He doesn't tolerate weakness, crying, whining, or laziness. Cliff is self-disiplined and will sometimes push hisself to far and overexert himself. He also gets frustrated with himself very easily when he can't figure out something others are already getting, this causes him to go into fits of rage for a while. He hates being looked down at or feeling as if he's below other people.

He's also not very smart, and has to struggle to maintain a B average in all of his classes, and pull favors and use his charm if he wants an A. He studies hard for each class, but something just doesn't click in his brain with acedemic studies.

History: He was born into a very competitive family, his father was star quarterback on one of the nation's top five football teams, his mother a proffesional gymnist, and his older brother was well on his way to fame in soccer. Growing up, Clifford did not at first like sports, he preferred video games, books, and playing with the family pets, but sports were soon drilled into him and one day he picked up a basketball and never put it down.

When Clifford's mom died in a gymnastic related accident the only thing anybody in the house could do was keep a dry face and train harder, manifesting their pain through workouts and drills. Crying and signs of sadness became unacceptable, weakness in any aspect punished. Clifford learned to hide any feelings that weren't anger or pride.

Weapon: A barbell, minus the weights on each end, from the training room.

Skillset: It takes a lot to bring him down, he has great stamina, strength, and speed. He knows how to fix injuries such as sprained ankles and torn ligaments from his time in the doctor's office dealing with those injuries on himself. He's also a great leader and knows what's the best route to take.

Other info not listed above: Up for love if you can handle it.

Name: Rick Johnson
Age: 18
Description: 6' 2" tall, brown hair and hazel eyes. Has a great smile and is great at parkour. He is well toned and ready for anything.
Personality: He is kind and easy to get along with. He will be friendly to most everyone and especially towards girls. He is understanding and frequently compliments everyone. The generic "nice guy" image.
History: He grew up in a small town, eventually moving to the current location. When he was younger he always tried to 'woo' the opposite sex, but found out he was gay when he experimented at the age of 14. He was always generically nice and physically fit. His metabalism has always been high, allowing him to remain thin when he ate anything. He started doing parkour when he was 10 and has since become the most respected and well know street-runner in town. When the zombie apocalypse began, when there were first reports of the zombies, he went to a local weapons store. There he bought the Duel Blade Daggers he had his eyes on from the age of 13. These he brought with when he fled to the school were he saw the other 9 students. His parents had become zombies shortly after the zombie apocalypse began, so he was left on his own since it started 5 months ago.
Weapon: Duel Blade Daggers. The picture is in this link.

Aubry Banks

Age:sixteen

Description: Aubry is half asian half black. Her hair had been long and straight back when things were normal, but after the outbreak she cut it to shoulder length. She has chocolate almond eyes and high cheek bones. She has cute pouty red lips like tulips and a beauty mark near the corner of her left eye. Shes short with curves and usually wears yoga pants and tight fitted tank tops.

Personality: Aubry...isnt what you would call the brightest bulb in the box. She gets distracted easily and is very ditzy. But shes an optimistic and is more of a glass half full type person. Shes open minded and truly gets a smile out of making someone else smile.

History: Aubrys parents were both doctors. Her mother was a brain surgeoun and her father was just a regular doctor. She had grown up around blood all her life so wasnt really affected by the brutallity of the infection. She even cut her own boyfriends head off ( after he turned of course). When things were normal Aubry had been popular but didnt even notice it all that much. She had always wanted to be a doctor herself though to follow in her parents foot steps. Its one of her more gifted skillsets.

Skillsets: Aubry isnt really a fighter and is more of a healer. After being personally ttaught by her talented parents she can heal almost anything. Or well except for the infection of course.

Can you save me a female spot please new to yws and this sb jumped out at me.

Name: Freya Adams

Age: 17

Description: 5’ 11’’, dark brown pixie cut styled hair, slender/curvy but muscular build, green eyes framed with thick lashes, ivory pale skin, piercing on her bottom lip and a tattoo of ancient runes that travel down her entire spine. She arrives at school in her trusty well-worn leather jacket, black cargo pants with military styled steel toed boots, black vest top with nirvana written on the front and her tartan styled rucksack.

Personality: Seemingly unsocial, dark mysterious and has a very hot temper. Cares very little for rules yet manages to keep straight A’s and blend in with her fellow classmates when needed. Her hot headedness and wild exterior is her main defence when approached by those unknown to her as well as her sarcastic comments and slightly twisted sense of humour tends to keep people at a distance. However, once someone gets close enough they see beneath her dark and mysterious persona and find a loyal, fierce and protective comrade who you could trust with your most valued secrets and your life if it came down to it.

History: Her father was a military man, meaning when she was younger she moved around a lot. Due to this she found it hard to make friends and spent most of her time with her father at his work, learning many things from him and his fellow soldiers. By the time she was fourteen; Freya gave up on trying to make friends and focused on her passion for weaponry, vehicles and sports. She has quite a few hobbies but some are more surprising than others.

Weapon: As she didn’t have much time to think about her weapon choice, the closest thing she had near her at the time was a crowbar, perfect for killing without having to stand right next to them.

Skillset: Good things about having a dad in the military….first thing you learn is survival skills, these skills could potentially save her life if she had to survive on the bare minimum or find safety in unguarded low quality areas. Freya is also talented at making things out of nothing, you give one thing she can make another. She is also extremely agile and fast as well as good with mechanics; you need a car to start up? She’s your girl.

Picture: Just imagine she has a lip peircing.

Other info not listed above: Though reluctant to let anyone in, love may be on the cards if the right person can fight their way through that tough exterior and find what she hinds underneath. She is straight.
