THESE DEATHLY CHAINS
OOC/DISCUSSION
GM: iCaramelBird
It has been several months. You all knew New York wasn't the perfect city, but you had a comfortable life, or maybe you didn't. Maybe your life was going horribly, or maybe life was just getting started. Either way, you didn't expect the scientific disaster which plagued the country to eventually reach over to your doorstep. It had been several weeks through the bloodshed and tears when you watched New York tear itself apart, the government resembling a dystopian horror as they prevented anyone from leaving the city. False hope can blind a man, and in this case, it blinded many, as different zombies harassed the city and tore it down. When you thought things couldn't get worse, that was when you were captured. A ruthless community lead by a man only known as William has captured you, and many others. With a storm of zombies fast approaching, you now must work with the others to escape this community, this city, and survive the next few days, wrought in these deathly chains.
This is a linear story driven RP. Unlike others, the main story is to be followed and cannot be deviated from, unless this is done so by a storyline which involves all the characters. Characters will be together in a group and generally working together. The relationships, choices, and situations the characters are facing are the driving force of this RP. It is currently three months into the apocalypse. Anything that is risk-worthy or poor choices will lead to death.
Currently, all the characters are imprisoned in a shopping complex. You have no weapons, only the clothes on your back and many guards with guns around you. You are all working together to escape before a storm of zombies head over to you and rip the community apart.
Throughout, 'These Deathly Chains' there will be many different types of zombies that will be encountered, here is a list of them (which will be updated accordingly):
ZOMBIE: The traditional zombie, it walks, it groans, it moans, it simply wants to do nothing but eat. Following the rules from 'The Walking Dead', you can disguise yourself as a zombie through its guts and blood, and herds can be formed due to noise and zombies following one another. These zombies rot after a while.
ADRENALIN: Zombie that is much faster, these zombies are athletic being able to run and traverse through obstacles, being able to hop over walls and even crawl on ceilings/walls. These zombies are a threat, and unlike traditional zombies, they do not seem to rot after a while. They look identically the same as traditional zombies.
SCORCH: These are zombies that are constantly on fire, burning and attracting the attention of others. Not only does this make them extremely dangerous, but you cannot get close to them without getting scorched.
HALFLINGS: Halflings are half zombies, in which quite literally, only half the body has decayed whilst the other half is still a functioning human. The zombie has still decayed half the brain and so still controls the body. However, they are able to use basic weapons such as knives, and can fight more effectively using the human side of the body which hasn't decayed.
FERAL: Feral zombies are far worse than runners. They are on all fours, blood constantly spewing out of their skin, leaving a trail where they go. They try and blind people by spewing blood at them, and though they are unable to walk on walls/ceilings, they have undesirable strength, being able to pin down any person they catch easily and making sure they infect them as they thirst on their blood.

Name: Edward Victor
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Skill: Leadership
Physical Description: Edward has a lean build, somewhat tall at 6 foot. He has blonde hair which is quite short, and a thin face which matches his frame. Edward has brown eyes, and a fair complexion though it has been affected by the poor conditions of slavery living with the ruthless community. He has several scars and cuts, all over his body either from scrapes with zombies or from his run-ins with the community guards, or even occasionally their leader, William. He is currently wearing a dirty white shirt, cargo pants, sneakers and nothing more having his backpack taken from him when he was captured.
Personality Description: Once a quiet introverted boy, Edward grew up to a pretty much normal and boring life. He would have friends over, go to work, call his parents occasionally, visit his family out of town and do all the standard things that a normal adult in society was supposed to do. Everything changed when zombies began to plague the world, it has only been three months and yet he has to do troubling things to survive, including killing another person. Edward has found himself growing more vicious by the time, surprised by how strong his desire is to survive, he has been empathizing with others and is willing to talk himself out of most situations, or spend time understanding the logic of it before going ahead with his plan.
Backstory: Edward had a normal life. When he was younger, he didn't seem to spend all that time around friends or much, usually working with technology or being more interested in things like computers before this was discouraged by his parents. He instead began to get into what was considered a normal routine when he was older in high school. By the time he made it to college, he knew that he was gong to regret listening to his parents in seeking a regular life like everybody else, but at the same time, he was far too distracted with college that he was having a great time with life and it was then and there he had dreams to move to the big city of New York. After managing to land a job with a business firm, he moved into his a new apartment and got to work. Along the way, he made friends, got into his normal routine and then the apocalypse began.
During the first few days, he simply stayed back, stockpiling any food and water he had, managing to stay huddled in his poor apartment, but soon he braced himself and headed into the outside world. He was shocked as to what he saw, different types of monsters, zombies, coming after him and he was at first sure he was alone in these few weeks. After the military went down during the first month, he found himself captured in the second, he was now stuck in a shopping complex in the city, forced to be a slave and work for these people. He was so confused, horrified and scared that he would be killed. But as he met other prisoners, other people, he soon knew that they wold have to get out, one way or another, and the storm of zombies heading to the shopping complex, he knows what must be done.
Other: Nothing.
