( final version. more detail, some improvements. )

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.

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

[ CHAPTER 1 ]

BROADWAY

This small strip of metropolis looms in the shadow of a central New York railway. And in those shadows are numbers of the infected. A light sheet of fog blankets the streets as sirens from multiple sources are wailing in the distance as if the world hasn't yet ended.

The promise of rescue has come and gone leaving survivors trapped in the area. One such group is held up in an abandoned building across from an aged and fabled theater. The survivors wait in bleak anticipation while Pokemon claw at the doors of their safe house. When it becomes clear that help is not coming, the group is faced with the terrible notion that rescue is solely up to them.


(Inspired by No More Room in Hell)

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

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.

Once infected, a survivor has an average of 4 hours before he starts to change into a random pokemon. Symptoms of infection include headaches, hallucinations, bodily pain etc. It all depends on the person.

The transformation is a slow, gradual process.

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

A survivor can choose where he starts in the area presented in chapter 1.

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 of 4 rounds 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: A New Zealander, John was touring America for the holidays. 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.

John is now among the group of survivors held up in the abandoned building. Armed with his resourcefulness and a strong will to live and remain human, he fights among the survivors to live another day.

( 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.

Name: Unknown to everyone, but the survivors he's around tend to call him things like "Blaze" and "Wildfire" (call him whatever you want, though i'll call him Blaze in the bio. You can call him that as well if you want an actual name, since his real one is TBR)

Gender: Male

Intelligent?: Yep

Appearance: Your regular Typhlosion, however, he wears a scarf to help other survivors distinguish him.

Backstory: Living in a modern family, Blaze grew up like a normal child. Everything screwed up when he decided to help find a cure for spreading sicknesses, though. One of his co-workers decided to mess around one day, and despite Blaze's attempts at stopping him, his co-worker had mixed two dangerous chemicals. This mixture vaporized easily, and pretty much wiped out the entire city. The only reason Blaze survived is because he quickly put on a gas mask nearby when that same co-worker said "Ah, the gas? It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it."

After the incident, Blaze had to live by himself in the forest, wondering if he might have been contaminated by the sickness that once wiped out his entire home city, despite his obvious protection. However, he's forced to help out his fellow survivors, and still has flashbacks about this incident.

(not good enough? yeah im out of brain power right now. Also, TOXTETH)

[[ dontae's from the previous threads and is accepted.

@succes everything about that CS is fine, but the backstory needs to be remade.

is the "spreading sickness" the infection? did that mad scientist co-worker blow up the city? i don't think gas-masks provide protection from explosions. it was also not described how he got infected.

really, everything's fine except for the backstory. the backstory needs to be redone. ]]

(Well, for one, the spreading sickness wasn't the infection. It was just a rather deadly gas. Second, the co-worker didn't blow up the city, as stated before, he just wiped out the entire city with the gas. Some other scientists could've escaped, but it's unlikely. Sorry for the confusion. Also, here's the basics of his infection)

Blaze woke up one night, and no, it wasn't to get some water. No, it was because a Charizard was trying to bite his arm. Blaze tried to stop the Charizard, but was unsuccessful. Blaze was thrown out the window of the motel he was staying in and blacked out. He woke up in the morning, weak, and limped as far away from the hotel as damn possible, clutching his bitten arm. It was about noon when the transformation started. All he could remember was the pain.

(damn im horrible at backstories so many cliches)

[[ Rockmax is from the previous threads, and is accepted.

Talked with succesfulfundude. So the "spreading sickness" was a epidemic in another city - the city that got wiped out with gas. The gas also destroyed the sickness in the process.

After surviving the epidemic there & the gas, he made his way to the city Chapter 1 takes place in, getting infected & changed on his way. Sounds good - Accepted.

HalfDoge, I have read your CS and I think a few things need tweaking.

Appearance needs a little tweaking - Skin color and hair? Also, what do you mean by "he looks unknown"?

Backstory. He grew up in a crappy place and had a near-death experience. That's fine. He also went to medical college. That's fine. But there's no detail beyond that. How did he live through the outbreak? Where is he now? et cetera. It needs more content. ]]

Also, is it okay for my character to have 4 rounds of "Napalm" ammo? Think of dragon's breath rounds from black ops.)

[ 2 infected and 1 survivor excluding me.

we're going to need more survivor characters to start. or more characters in general.

i don't know how you would get ahold of those rounds, but since i'm assuming they are very rare/unobtainable you can have those 4 rounds. i doubt they would be very effective against fire type pokemon though. ]
