    Dead Island: Paradise Lost





    The Trapingus archipelago located in the south pacific was only a dot on the map for the majority of history. It was controlled by the Japs in WW2 for a while, but, afterwards, it was more or less left alone. There were mostly tribal civilizations living on the islands, but, in 2008, that all changed. On the largest island, Angel Island, a large and wealthy company built an exclusive and expensive resort named Paradise falls. It dealt only with the wealthiest, and took five years to build. The construction of it brought civilizations to the island, and many of the tribals came out of the jungle to live in a growing city where most of the employees live. People from other countries flocked to the new city to live there as well, adding urban sprawl to the jungle.

    The resort was an economic hit. People from all over the world cam to stay there, and many people made a lot of money. But...everything changed when, one night, a plague broke out. People started going insane and turning violent, biting and killing one another. The entire island went to hell overnight. But not everyone died. There are survivors, and they're struggling to get help and survive this plague where the dead walk once more. 5 of these survivors have even proven themselves immune to this disease. Will they survive in the end? Only time will tell.

    Appearance:
    Profession: (what you did/were)
    Weapon style:
    Starting weapon: (within reason, no firearms or explosives)
    Bio: (write it in first person)




    Notes on making characters:

    When choosing a profession, do not choose anything having to do with the military or police force. Some acceptable professions are: Actors, Musicians, Supermodels, Athletes, spoiled brats, and so on. Staff are acceptable, but try to not be security.

    There are five different weapon styles, and when one is taken, it cannot be taken by another. This does not mean you can only use weapons of that style, just, that you favor them:

    1. Blunt: Weapons such as pipes, hammers, maces, staves, clubs and so on. (me)

    2. Blade: weapons such as knives, axes, machetes, and so on (Reserved for Jannah)

    3. Hand-to-hand: weapons such as claws and brass knuckles. (Reserved for Watch_Dog)

    4. Thrown: weapons such as bombs and throwing knives. (reserved for low-budget man)

    5. Firearms: self explanatory. (Reserved for Hoef)

    Rules:

    1. Follow all RPA rules.
    2. I am GM, my word is law.
    3. Even though you're immune, you can still die. Don't rush into a battle that is impossible to win.
    4. We're part of a team, try to get along and be respectful to the other players
    5. Don't auto-kill zombies too much, even a bunch of walkers can be difficult. And never try an Auto-kill an elite zombie.

    Name: Michael Emery
    Age: 40
    Appearance:

    Profession: Actor

    Weapon style: Blunt

    Starting weapon: Baseball Bat

    Bio: My name is Michael Emery. Yeah, the guy from the 'Bases loaded' series of action movies. I was born in Florida, and every spring I got to see all the teams practice during their spring training. I guess I've always bee fascinated with baseball. Never could play it though, I was no good at it.

    What I was good at, was acting. Being in drama club, and then going to Juliard, graduating with honors. It's like I was born for it, ya know? One of my first gigs was what I became known for. A movie made by a then unknown director about a Baseball player who doubles as a secret agent for the CIA, and always has his bat with him. Sounds like an odd concept, but it sure became popular. Popular enough to spawn five sequels. Men wanted to be me, and women wanted to be with me. I was livin' the Hollywood high life.

    But all that changed one night when I was making out with a groupie. Turns out she had lied about her age and used a fake ID. She was really fifteen, and when it was found out she was pregnant with my child, everything went to hell. No one would hire me, I couldn't find work anywhere, and many of my fans abandoned me.

    That's why I ended up here. I was supposed to be meeting a producer from a Chinese movie studio to talk to him about reviving my famous series, But, then all this shit happened.
