The small apartment you walk into is in shambles, broken down from the years of neglect. Bullet holes are scattered over the walls, shell casings liter the hard wood floors, rotting food smells from the kitchen, and even worse are the rotting corpses. You find a DVD on the table. It has a big label written in bold letter, “PLAY THIS!” You take the DVD in your hand, walk to the beaten portable DVD played and slide the disk in. This movie starts to play.
"My name is John Walters. This DVD is the last known history of the human race." The man sitting in front of the camera is tired. His pale complexion and skeletal look tells of months spent hiding with little food. In the picture you can see a handgun resting on his lap. He runs a dirty, bloody hand through his dirty hair.
"When it all first happened religious freaks spoke about it. The end of days. Armageddon. The battle of Gog and Magog. My dad was one of those crazy born again holy men that ran through the streets screaming at the top of his lungs about the great war. Everyone ignored him. The general public here in Portland just thought he was another nut job. Hell, I don't blame them. My dad was screwed two ways to Sunday. Everyone here and across the world just thought that this giant war that some called World War 3, others called it Operation Deathwatch, was just another attack on some crazy extremist nation that promised the capture, torture, and utter annihilation of all Western culture." John raised a cig to his lips, with closed eyes he inhaled.
"I never used to smoke before the war, before it all happened." with a slight smirk John flicked some ashes off the cancer stick and looked off into the apartment behind the camera.
"In Ezekiel it speaks of the last great war. A huge war where the nations of the earth will march on Israel with an army of 1 billion soldiers. The biggest freakin' army the earth has ever seen. Well they did it. No one saw it coming. No one ever thought that the U.S., the reformed Soviet Union, China, Korea, and any other nation that wanted to get wet in the blood of innocent women and children would join together into a hellish army and mutilate a whole nation. Surprise! The bible was right. They did it. 1 billion soldiers wiped a whole civilization off the face of the Earth. Years of fighting later they had won. Israel, the holy land, had disappeared. It was a sheet of glass. They nuked the hell out of that place. That was the only way they could have won." John leaned forward placing his head in his hands. His whole form spoke of fatigue. He finished his smoke off and flicked the butt off screen.
"The Aftermath of the War didn't really pan out like the bible said. Christ didn't come down to defend his people and save them from their enemies. No, what happened was all out nuclear war across the globe. Humans are funny. We can't stay peaceful. We can't be content. I'm not sure who struck first. It doesn't matter. The outcome was the same. The dead didn't stay dead. They turned into… I guess what would be called Zombies. They have different breeds. Thats what we called them. Some ran like Olympic athletes, some had radioactive spit, others stumbled and groan, but all of them are dangerous. I can't explain how it happened. It just did. And that's when crap went even worse."
"Humanity fell over night. We didn't realize what was going on. Soldiers came home to their families to devour them, utilities went down, and...well....everything was screwed. It happened in weeks. We fought back as best we could. Communications sucked. We kept in touch with the small pockets that were left by old school HAM radios." John took another smoke out of his pack of cigs. He lit it and paused for several minutes. His eyes closed, it almost looked like he had died.
"I'm not even sure why I'm recording this. The humans that were left created small communities in large buildings called Holds. They fortified them, guarded them, and did their best to wait out those that were...changed. But not many of them lasted. The Zombies kept coming. They never stopped trying to get into the Holds. Once they got into the secure areas it was madness. Paranoia is our worst enemy. Once one person got bite inside the Holds it turned the secure fortresses of the survivors into cages for the Zombies. Not much could stop them once that happened. Each Hold had a small military-esque unit that would do their best to defend the people. But they were just brave men and women who wanted to die with guns in their hands.”
Loud thuds could be heard on the DVD. John smiled. He let the cig hang from his lips as he reached for his gun. He checked the chamber.
"That's it. If your a human and you find this, good luck. I hope you die quick."
The DVD shuts off. On the ground near the back of the room you see the corpse of what must have been John. The handgun that was seen in the DVD laid in the rotted hands of the corpse. Other corpses surrounded John. He had gone out with a fight.
This is the life you live in. This is the World in the wake of the Battle of Gog and Magog. Welcome to Hell, we hope you enjoy your stay.
------------------
Needed Information about World:
Year: 2018 Location: Portland, Oregon Location of the Portland Hold: Pioneer Square Mall
Life in the Portland Hold: This is where the majority of the Role Playing will be taking place inside the hold and also the Portland Metro area. The Portland Metro area is fairly desolate. Zombies are of course everywhere considering the population was around 3 million before all hell broke loose. The last bastion of hope is the Hold at the Pioneer Square Mall. There are close to 2100 people living inside the Mall. The roof of the mall has several large gardens, three large tanks that catch water, and a nice area where the kiddies can play.
There is limited clean water inside the hold so it is rationed very strictly. You can shower once a week (unless you leave the Hold than you are required to shower when you come back in), and drinking water is fairly limited. Luckily there is a consistent drizzle in Portland during the winter months (September to early May is the “wet” season).
Food is limited also. Meat is scarce along with other everyday luxury items. Vegetables and fruits (black berries especially) is the normal diet of every person inside the Hold. For entertainment there are regulated bare knuckle boxing matches, wrestling matches, chess, checkers, and anything else that doesn’t tax the precious resources.
The Hold Security Force consists of 30 people. They are all armed with various weapons and are stationed at both entrances. Each member has extensive weapons training.
The Rescue Force is an Elite group of people consisting of 8 people. They go out into the “Outside” world to search for needed supplies, people who haven’t changed called the Stranded, and also to find any other place that could serve as a retreat point in case the Hold falls.
Weapons are very limited. The typical rifles seen are Police issued Colt m-4’s, H&K Mp5’s, Remington 870 Shotguns, and very few Remington 700 Tactical rifles in .308 caliber with a high powered scope. The typical side arms seen are Glock 17, 19, 22, and 23’s, some Berretta 92’s, Sig Sauer 226’s, and a few S&W revolvers. The idea behind the limited weapons is that someone won’t pop up with a Desert Eagle or any other ridiculous gun.
Zombies:
*I know the names are corny. These will most likely be changed. If you have any suggestions about these please PM me about them.*
Dummies- Slow moving, stumbling, typical Zombie. Easy to kill, just damage the brain.
Runners- Quick moving, ferocious, blood thirst bastards. Use a gun, you don’t want them to get in close. They have above average strength (think of wrestling with a young Arnold Schwarzenegger). Damage the brain.
Juggernauts- *cue X-Men related jokes/lines* Huge, overly muscular behemoths, that rip crap up. They can’t throw cars but they will throw other zombies at any survivor/human. To take them down you will have to hit them in the brain with a large caliber weapon (think trying to knock down an Elephant, 9mm, .40 cal, or .45 cal isn’t going to do much to them).
Spitters- These hurl radioactive spit on their victims. The spit will eventually make the victim contract the infection and turn them into a zombie. If someone is spat upon the best bet is to execute them on the spot.
Vampire- Intelligent, sophisticated, and cruel. These zombies are called Vampires because they fit the description of every B-Movie vampire. They hate the sun, will bite their victims and suck their blood, and they can hold an on going conversation with a human. If you see a Vampire you should run. They are hard to kill. A head shots won’t work. Decapitation is the only thing that will stop these monsters. Vampires can appear to be a Stranded to fool the Rescue Force which is normally what happens.
Rules: 1- No Godmoding 2- Be nice and help the newer role players learn how to become better role players. 3- Be as realistic as possible. You won’t duel wield pistols accurately. No one in the real world does this. You won’t have head shots constantly. In fact you will miss a crap load if you try for head shots constantly. 4- Have fun! This is supposed to be fun.

Can you tell me what needs more info....?
~Davis Butler Sample Rp~
I hear a banging noise, and then doors opening. I quickly get out of bed and grab my throwing knives. I hear a scream and gun shots. I get dressed, put my knives in my pocket, and run to where I heard the scream. I hear a mo.an and I quickly turn around. A vampire was right behind me. I scream. I hear gunshots behind me. They all miss. The vampire jumps onto me and sticks it's teeth into my chest. I pass out |

| No, I know bebi, he only trolls what sucks. And he rarely says anything about mine, so if he says something negative about it it must suck, bye bye. |
