( Now with a few more clarifications and changes and hopefully not another derail. )

My name is...

Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore, right?

After all, everything's already gone to hell.

The last of humanity just struggling to stay alive in a world that's already abandoned them, be it for their own personal reasons or just plain old survival instinct.

Shame. We couldn't even die a dignified death. A regular apocalypse would have been a nicer way to go. Instead, we have this..."Virus." A virus that turns people into Pokemon, of all things.
Just obscene, right? Yeah, that's what I thought too.

It’s not like I can do anything about it now, though. The damage has been done. Society is gone. Survivors are few and far between. I’m no fool – We won’t be surviving this. Humanity’s numbers are thinning by the day. There’s no cure, no rescue, no nothing. I had to put down my friend last night, and I’m sure my luck is running out as well.

Anyways, I’m running out of food and water. I can’t stay in this safehouse much longer. I’m going to have t-

*BANG*

What was that?

*CRASH*

…Oh, crap.

======================================================================

Welcome to the Roleplay!

As you can see, this is a Pokemon-themed apocalyptic scenario set in modern times.

This roleplay is set in the real world, not the pokemon world.

The virus spreads through bites. Direct ingestion of infected bodily fluids would get you infected, too.

You can roleplay either as a human survivor, or a Pokemon/infected that is either feral or has maintained his/her intelligence.

The infected aren’t necessarily focused on ripping your guts out. However, they do feel a need to infect the uninfected. “Intelligent” infected characters can resist this urge.

[ RULES ]

1) Use common sense! Roleplay rules that would normally apply do apply here. No, you can’t be a Mary Sue who’s immune to the infection running around gunning everyone with infinite ammo.
The rules should be obvious, but just in case I will repeat a few rules.
2) Do not make your character overpowered! It should be fairly obvious what this means. Keep things realistic.
3) Do not force your actions on others! This is called “Powergaming”. No controlling other characters. No doing “significant” actions to others without their consent (Like infecting, killing, et cetera)
4) As mentioned in rule #2, keep things relatively realistic. This is not that wacky RP where Weird Al Yankovic composes scores for space zombie battles.
5) Please respect your fellow roleplayers. Sometimes people can mess up, and turning innocent threads into flamewars isn’t nice.
6) If you have read and understood the rules, please write "TOXTETH" at the bottom of your character sheet.

Remember, “It wasn’t written on the rules!” is not an acceptable excuse for failure to follow common sense. :)

I am attempting to make the CS format relatively clutter-free. So please input the approximate age of the character in the Appearance tab, and so on. Things like Personalities is something other roleplayers will discover as the roleplay goes on.

When selecting a firearm as one of your starting items as a survivor, please write down what kind of gun it is and how many bullets you have left for it. Be realistic!

If there’s something to note about your character, feel free to add it onto the CS.

[ CHARACTER SHEET ]

( Survivor )

Name:

Gender:

Inventory: (The stuff your character starts out with.)

Appearance: (Remember to input the approximate age your character looks like here)

Backstory:

( Infected )

Name:

Gender:

Intelligent?: ( Did your character keep his intelligence instead of going feral? No, you don’t write your IQ or Math test results here. )

Appearance:

Backstory:



======================================

( Survivor )

Name: John Curnow

Gender: Male

Inventory: A crowbar, flashlight, pocket knife and a Colt 1911A1 pistol. He has one full magazine of 7 rounds and one partly-empty magazine for the pistol, meaning he has 11 rounds total.

Appearance: He is a young adult standing at 5'10" with Caucasian skin, his brown eyes constantly scanning his surroundings. He has black, messy hair that has medium-short length along with a stubble. His lean figure is covered with a slightly dirty, loose and partially-untucked white dress shirt, complete with a loosened red tie and black slacks covering his legs. He has a black, squared wristwatch on his left wrist.
(Based off my avatar's outfit at the time of writing)

Backstory: The man had a unremarkable upbringing, getting a decent education in a decent family. If the outbreak didn't happen, he would be developing indie games, leading a healthy life. Instead, he now spends his days hiding, fighting and generally trying to stay alive. He owes his continued survival to his ability to adapt effectively to survival situations. But along with the collapse of society and the very real possibility that mankind wouldn't survive this outbreak, he realized that his luck was going to run out, sooner or later.

A light sheet of rain blankets the streets as sirens wail in the distance as if the world hadn't already ended. The promise of evacuation had come and gone leaving John held up in an abandoned building across from an aged and fabled theater. He waited in bleak anticipation as his supplies began to diminish. When it became clear that help was not coming, he was faced with the terrible notion that escape and continued survival was solely up to himself.

[ If anyone else is going to make a survivor character, I won't mind if anyone starts in the same location as me. :) ]

[ Though the new rules require you to write something under your character sheet, I know you're from the previous roleplay and that you already know the rules. Accepted.

We'll start when we get enough people. ]

( Infected )

Name: Dontae Black (Squirtle)
Gender: Male
Intelligent?: Feral
Appearance: Dontae or Squirtle looks like any average Squirtle.
Backstory: Dontae use to be a happy young lad, until the Pokevirus began to take over. Dontae was about 13 when the virus began to take over. Dontae didn't know that the Pokemon were mindless infected creatures that wanted to alter his state of mind and his DNA. So, one day, Dontae saw a cute little Poliwag and attempted to take it in as his own pet. That's when Dontae was bitten and by this Poliwag. He did run away from it, but after a couple of hours, he changed into a Squirtle. Unfortunately, he has lost his intelligence and is how a feral Infected.

TOXTETH



(Can Infected Pokemon evolve? If not, then I'd like my character to be a Blastoise, instead.)

Though despite the good idea and general concept, I think it lacks detail about as much as the first.

(I think 'evolve' should be changed to Mutate. I mean, they are splicing dna to chanfe into another animal, like how a virus mutates to survive a vaccine. )

(I'd also say revising the appearance and name.
Give readers an Idea of what your character looks like. What does his face look like? what hairstyle does he have? What clothes does he wear? Ask these and others when revising)

[ Really sorry, guys. but I'm going to post a more detailed & improved version of this thread. Final time I do this - I promise.

Everyone who has already been accepted, consider yourselves accepted for the new thread as well. Just simply copypaste your accepted CS and say you were in the previous threads just in case.

And read the threadstarter for the new one again, there's a few things I revised and added.

And halfdoge, yeah. You need a bit more detail. ]
