IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74983)


It is 2015. The world has been through a lot. America is off the grid, and who knows what's going on in the rest of the world. Insanity and brutality run rampant coast to coast; Boston has been lost to the mad, and hope is fading fast. The survivors are doing their best to cope -- to fin their alliances, their enemies. Day by day situations turn sour; bad turns to worse turns to worst. Later, they'll survive to be further tortured by the creators of this apocalypse: the Darkness. Somewhere, maybe, there's still humanity. Somewhere the Darkness haven't reached. So the survivors fight to stay alive for one more day, because maybe that day will bring them to somewhere safe.

You are one of these survivors.

It was horrible. You watched them; first from your television screen, and then with your own eyes. You made it out, somehow. Your survival, however, isn't guaranteed tomorrow. Slowly, you and the other survivors will band together.. or tear each other apart.

Will RPA survive? Will YOU survive? Join in and find out...




This RPApocalypse is a bit different from the others, in that it's a prequel. Additionally, the roleplay starts before the apocalypse actually begins. We will be writing through the events that begin the apocalypse and how it brings us together. BE PATIENT. This will take quite a bit of writing, and it will possibly take some time to interact with others in character. The reason for it taking a long time is that as the Apocalypse is starting everyone isn't going to be together straight away like in the other stories, though luckily (unlike the other stories) there will be NPC's to fill the space and to interact (controlled by myself and Wobbles.)

Wobbles the GM of the RPApocalypse series; Death of Korzan is the GM of RPApocalypse: Entropy. Our word is law. Three strikes and you're out. We have the right to kick or overrule anyone at anytime. We are not obligated to accept you to the roleplay. If we reject you and you get salty, we'll report it. IC drama is encouraged; OOC drama is for ninnies.

You must be ready and willing to die at any time. That's one of the points of this game. If you don't want to die, this isn't your jam. If you die, you can still haunt the OOC, but when you’re dead, you’re DEAD! NO ZOMBIES! -- It's the system. Nothing personal. Just business. UNLIKE the other RPApocalypses, the deaths will not be announced, nor will they be regular. Korzan will determine and divy out deaths as he sees fit.

You gotta write in first person, as yourself, your username, you. I mean, c’mon, it’d be weird if I started posting as Alltoni, right? ( a moment of silence for those lost.. )

This is meant to be a self-insert game, so if you're going to include the description/picture/name bits, make sure they're of you. Some people don't want to disclose that information -- that's absolutely fine. You've got to send a message to one of us, though, just so we can respect your privacy.

An important feature being used in GM posts is the recording of the date in said GM posts, often times resulting in the aforementioned post having news broadcasts or radio messages being sent out from across the planet that weren't there beforehand, showing background information to the reader that the viewpoints might not have given them and highlighting the apocalyptic nature of the world that this story takes place in.

Another thing I think is important to mention is that if there are too many people in one location I'll send you somewhere else with others. This isn't a detrimental thing as there are NPC's and players and every location that I'll be sending characters to will have interesting interactions and different goals and ideas for things players could do - along with different enemies, some shown in the first three RPApocalypses and others merely building off of those ideas. This is so that the story can be furthered and expanded, but don't worry as hopefully the company of all the character's won't become stale.

If you participated in RPApocalypse, RPApocalypse: Resurrection, or RPApocalypse: The Reborn, welcome back! If you've never heard of RPApocalypse, you're weird and you should join right now. It's an experience you won't forget anytime soon.

Josh

Age: 18

Description: I'm one of those short fuckers, like five feet eight inches or so. What meagre musculature I do have looks really defined because having the metabolism of an eleven year old has left me leaner than that awful steak you had that one time.
I've got a really punchable face, with eyebrows like slabs of pure Welsh slate. Rumours persist that despite these things, I look rather handsome. Such rumours are baseless and all perpetuators are raving lunatics.

Personality: I'm a cynical prick, though I've gotten better at the whole 'optimism' shtick, and I'm genuinely quite good at being that empathic shoulder to people who deserve it.
I'm that kind of dangerous person who's a weird mixture of extroverted and introverted; quiet and ostentatious; liberal and traditional. You can't tie me down to your societal labels, man. It's nawt a phase, mawm. GAWD.

Skills: A few years worth of handling firearms has given me some rudimentary skill with ones that aren't military issue laser-guided hand cannons with cup holders, and the most important thing I gained from such experience is a sense for fucking firearm safety, something that too many people lack.
In addition to that, I can cook, the most important combat skill of all.
I'm a very good rock climber, I scale shit like Spiderman without the costume and with only half the snarkiness.
I can debate with the best of them, not that it ever helps because I always just resort to insults and violence anyway.
I can draw, which will no doubt help when the monsters kidnap us and hold an art competition to earn our right to live. I'm sure that'll happen so I'll keep a pencil ready.
As I said, I'm good at that disgusting practice called listening, empathising and generally being the person everyone comes to with their problems. I'm told I'm good at playing the therapist, which is depressing, because it means I've had too much practice.

Weapon of Choice:
http://www.momentdesign.com/sites/default/files/blog/2012/Simple-Swiss-Army-Knife.jpg

The classic. Absolutely vital as both a survival tool and as a close-range weapon, if you're desperate enough to punch someone in the face with a corkscrew in your fist. My one's blue.

Short History: Time for a holiday. Finland's too expensive? Australia's been reclaimed by the Old Ones? Canada's been annexed by the moose empire? Japan's an elaborate myth made up by the media? France is full of French people? Shit, I'd better go to America instead, just try not to break any bones or catch something.

Preferred Starting Location: New England is a lot like England, right? That's why they called it that, right? Right!?
Drop me off in Boston, Massachusetts. Might as well get hyped for Fallout 4.

Weapon of Choice: Bow and Arrow

Short History: Lizzy used to live in a small town in Nebraska. She went to high school and such there too. Lizzy loved to write anything that came to mind. One of her teachers took notice, and sent her work in to a magazine ad that was looking for editors and journalists. Lizzy was just about to graduate from high school, as this was happening. Finally, they got reply back and they loved her piece! However, th ad's office was in Chicago. Lizzy was used to where she was, but she did want to explore the city. So, once she graduated she moved to Chicago. It has been 6 months since she's been in Chicago so she knows the area pretty well now. Her plans now is to keep her writing career on the go, so she doesn't get "let-go" like some others. Luckily, her boss likes her enough to keep her for a bit. Also, Lizzy is in UIC to keep up her writing skills and for second advise, as the Magazine's main publisher suggested it. Lizzy wants to run her OWN magazine.

Skills: Finding food and cooking that found food.

Weapon of Choice: Kitchen knives

Short History: I was born and raised in Ohio, doesn't sound exciting don't worry it's not. Home-schooled since third grade and it was horrible. Finally decided what I wanted to do with my life and started college, and yes in Ohio.

Preferred Starting Location: I'm just going to start where I'm living and grew up. Columbus, Ohio.

Other: An obsession with Minions. It's a problem.

Username: DracoWerePyre

Preferred nickname(s): draco

Username: Craze

Preferred nickname(s): Craze, Cray, William, Will

Age: 17

Picture/Description of yourself: beard included (https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/11751788_844149778965646_632895179952797593_n.jpg? oh=526004b9651e34e6801a95a4ff2c9845&oe=5655E160)
I'm short, like 5'7'' short. I'm slightly muscular, though only a teeny tinesy little bit. Apart from that I'm pretty skinny (except for those cursed upper legs!). My hair's brown, or perhaps dark blonde. Somewhere along those lines. I have a short beard and brown eyes, and I'm always wearing a necklace with a pendant of the yin/yang symbol. Also always wear a bracelet with a silver leaf-shaped pendant. I wear skinny jeans (though not EXTREMELY skinny. Just like, skinny fit.) and a lot of hipster stuff, don't judge.

Personality: I'm a kind guy at heart, though it'll take some time to let me show my true self. I cover it up with rude jokes or with an expressive personality, but deep down I'm pretty silent and thoughtful. Sometimes a little depressed. I'm good at acting and I aspire to become an actor one day.
I'm also very explosive, which means that I stuff all my emotions within myself and they tend to burst out at the wrong times. This also means I'm really impulsive, I sometimes don't think long enough about a choice or decision. I love cuddling & kissing, but never have anyone to do so with. Doesn't mean I'm desperate though, but I'm also not one to turn down a potential love interest. To list a few other aspects; I'm generous, funny, accepting, open, I don't judge people quickly, and I like alcohol.

Skills: Well... uh... I can play the piano. Sort of. And I game a lot so my hand-eye coordination is pretty solid. I have strong legs since I cycle a lot (I'm a Dutchie, after all) and I'm a pretty strategic thinker. I have very few practical skills, though. Oh and I can also prepare an amazing lasagna.

Weapon of Choice: I dunno, something like a baseball bat I guess. Or perhaps a crossbow. Not that I have much experience with the latter. I just like distance. I guess a knife will do the trick s well, though.

Short History: I was on my way to audition for a role in a play somewhere in California. Is that good enough? Sorry, I'm a European guy, I have absolutely no clue what I'd be doing in America. I don't even like America.

Preferred Starting Location: California or smt

Other: I tend to walk off on my own at times and just sit somewhere and listen to music. Also, if I see a piano, I will play on it.
Username: Wobbles! ( it's tiger rn cos i lost a bet )

Preferred nickname(s): Wobs, Wobbles, Amy, Amelia, #FIERCE, Asshole

Age: 16

Picture/Description of yourself: Click here B) (http://archaeologize.tumblr.com/post/122186412422/official-munday) I have a drawing to add later but rn I'm on my phone. I'm anemic, so I bleed easily and bruise easily. I'm pretty darn skinny - a twelve year old picked me up yesterday and last time I weighed it was 90 - and I have an affinity for other people's clothing and oversized sweaters. Note: I actually have hair but said hair will disappear in this RP.

Personality: Bubbly, cheerful, nagging optimist, tough & persistent

Skills: Not that amazing at.. anything, really. Can survive against horrible odds. Great at computers and html and stuff totally useless to the apocalypse. Clever, not strong. Smart witted.

Weapon of Choice: Literally anything lying around. I managed to snag a bow and arrow and I'm not too bad with it.

Short History: I was at a NCSA in Oklahoma when it happened. We had just been assigned our flight time - my wingman went up first. He was the only one in the air to survive. The other planes lost control and crashed, killing those inside. The remaining cadets and I made our way towards Oklahoma City in hopes of finding out what the fuck happened and taking shelter and safety. Eventually, we'll make it out of there on an Amtrak. The survivors of the NCSA were the Todd twins, Nate and KJ; Chief Cole, toughest chick on the west side of Jersey; and yours truly.

Preferred Starting Location: Oklahoma.

Other: Will upload other picture things later yas. Sorry this took fucking forever. I'm out of my summer camp so expect deDICATED REPLIES

Age: 22

Picture/Description of yourself: myself ('https://instagram.com/p/5atgX4rCiU/?taken-by=dukewolfrein')

Personality: Observant, Friendly, Laidback, has a way of looking at things from different points of view.

Skills: Good with knives and decent at recon and stealth. Runner.

Weapon of Choice: Combat Knife or Metal Baseball bat

Short History: On a short trip up to look for apartments as a new college year started,I got caught in traffic going into the city when all the power went down, including the radio. Figuring my best bet was to go into the city I started walking with other survivors into Pensacola looking for shelter and to find out more about the blackout.

Preferred Starting Location: Pensacola, FL

Other: Pretty good driver.
Username: Punished Snake

Preferred nickname(s): Snake, Rick

Age: 17

Picture/Description of yourself: A medium built teenage who stands around 6'1 or 6'2 in height. Hair isn't too short, but it is shortly cut to his perspective. Brown eye colour adds to the dark brown/black hair he has, but the facial expressions he makes are masked by the glasses he wears. Preferably he likes to sport black combat boots along with dark jeans, followed by an equal dark shirt with leather jacket.

Personality: Cool, funny, friendly, possibly psychotic

Skills: Capable of handling firearms of .45 or lower, as they are the only ones he's ever fired before. He's also good at mechanic work as in cars. Having taken three years of auto classes helps him out when somethings wrong with the vehicle. Oh and he can play the guitar, in case there needs to be a 'monster' jam.

Weapon of Choice: Colt M1911A1 .45 ACP (http://www.weapon.ge/images/413_2.jpg)

Short History: He was born and raised in the Alamo City all his life. Snake has lived a very pleasant life there and has many friends throughout his school life. Although some he never got to see again due to them moving, which is rather saddening because that's how he forgets them sometimes. As a high school senior, he strives to make this last year the most important one of them all. He plans to hopefully go to St. Phillips college in his city, so as not to leave home.
During that very year, he began to learn his guitar and become a rather local rock-star in his school and the city. He hopes that one day he can get the courage to play a favorite song of his soon to be girlfriend as his proposal to her. In the future, he sees himself running an automotive empire of a new and more efficient car manufacturer.

Preferred Starting Location: San Antonio, Texas

Other:N/A
Username: "Avalon Hoef... Uh Yeah..."

Preferred nickname(s): "I'm called by many names Johnny-Boy, J.J, John, and Gentle-Giant just to name a few"

Age: "I'm sixteen and getting my tempts soon..."

Picture/Description of yourself: "Well... I'm 5'11 with wide shoulders and a body that is half body-builder and half-chubby; I'm working on losing weight so yeah... I have a beard, as hard as it is to believe, that reaches all the way from both sides of my head - and a mustache, don't forget the mustache. Uh... What else... Hm... OH! I have that black person hair, and my skin is black - but the Jamaican kind of black... So... Yeah... There's that..."

Personality: "To best describe me in one sentence is this: 'I am a social butterfly some moments and then I'll turn into a loner other moments'. I correlate between the two, which could be bad in some moments. I'll be welcoming and would share ideas on the fly, but I would also seclude myself to my own ideals. And also I'm a realist - so that could be potentially bad in some situations.

Skills: "Basic Survival... And I'm an amateur in Computer Science..."

Weapon of Choice: "Since I have this weapon at home, a aluminum baseball bat."

Short History: "Hm. I honestly don't know where I was born - never really asked my mother about it so I left it be. I arrived in school a little late, and was basically older than most of the student body all throughout my years of elementary school, middle school, and first year at highschool. However during my elementary school days, some rough things happened - that I don't like talking about - and that basically caused a paradigm shift in how I view society. I was a wreck for a few months, but came together eventually. Five years later, I'm happily living my life as any other teen would. Few crushes here and few lies there, and I've basically developed the fitting image of what teen should - probably would - look like. But that's probably an exaggeration at best. Can't say I didn't try though!"

Preferred Starting Location: "Painesville, Ohio... Because that's where I live..."

Other: "I'm not that special... So yeah there's that..."


Have fun, RPA. Don’t die.

Personality: I'm pretty nice to people unless I just don't like you. I like to make myself laugh, even if no one else thinks it's funny. I mostly keep to myself unless I know you pretty well.

Skills: Finding food and cooking that found food.

Weapon of Choice: Kitchen knives

Short History: I was born and raised in Ohio, doesn't sound exciting don't worry it's not. Home-schooled since third grade and it was horrible. Finally decided what I wanted to do with my life and started college, and yes in Ohio.

Preferred Starting Location: I'm just going to start where I'm living and grew up. Columbus, Ohio.

Other: An obsession with Minions. It's a problem.

Username: Wobbles! ( it's tiger rn cos i lost a bet )

Preferred nickname(s): Wobs, Wobbles, Amy, Amelia, #FIERCE, Asshole

Age: 16

Picture/Description of yourself: Click here B) (http://archaeologize.tumblr.com/post/122186412422/official-munday) I have a drawing to add later but rn I'm on my phone. I'm anemic, so I bleed easily and bruise easily. I'm pretty darn skinny - a twelve year old picked me up yesterday and last time I weighed it was 90 - and I have an affinity for other people's clothing and oversized sweaters. Note: I actually have hair but said hair will disappear in this RP.

Personality: Bubbly, cheerful, nagging optimist, tough & persistent

Skills: Not that amazing at.. anything, really. Can survive against horrible odds. Great at computers and html and stuff totally useless to the apocalypse. Clever, not strong. Smart witted.

Weapon of Choice: Literally anything lying around. I managed to snag a bow and arrow and I'm not too bad with it.

Short History: I was at a NCSA in Oklahoma when it happened. We had just been assigned our flight time - my wingman went up first. He was the only one in the air to survive. The other planes lost control and crashed, killing those inside. The remaining cadets and I made our way towards Oklahoma City in hopes of finding out what the fuck happened and taking shelter and safety. Eventually, we'll make it out of there on an Amtrak. The survivors of the NCSA were the Todd twins, Nate and KJ; Chief Cole, toughest chick on the west side of Jersey; and yours truly.

Preferred Starting Location: Oklahoma.

Other: Will upload other picture things later yas. Sorry this took fucking forever. I'm out of my summer camp so expect deDICATED REPLIES

Age: 17

Picture/Description of yourself: beard included (https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/11751788_844149778965646_632895179952797593_n.jpg? oh=526004b9651e34e6801a95a4ff2c9845&oe=5655E160)
I'm short, like 5'7'' short. I'm slightly muscular, though only a teeny tinesy little bit. Apart from that I'm pretty skinny (except for those cursed upper legs!). My hair's brown, or perhaps dark blonde. Somewhere along those lines. I have a short beard and brown eyes, and I'm always wearing a necklace with a pendant of the yin/yang symbol. Also always wear a bracelet with a silver leaf-shaped pendant. I wear skinny jeans (though not EXTREMELY skinny. Just like, skinny fit.) and a lot of hipster stuff, don't judge.

Personality: I'm a kind guy at heart, though it'll take some time to let me show my true self. I cover it up with rude jokes or with an expressive personality, but deep down I'm pretty silent and thoughtful. Sometimes a little depressed. I'm good at acting and I aspire to become an actor one day.
I'm also very explosive, which means that I stuff all my emotions within myself and they tend to burst out at the wrong times. This also means I'm really impulsive, I sometimes don't think long enough about a choice or decision. I love cuddling & kissing, but never have anyone to do so with. Doesn't mean I'm desperate though, but I'm also not one to turn down a potential love interest. To list a few other aspects; I'm generous, funny, accepting, open, I don't judge people quickly, and I like alcohol.

Skills: Well... uh... I can play the piano. Sort of. And I game a lot so my hand-eye coordination is pretty solid. I have strong legs since I cycle a lot (I'm a Dutchie, after all) and I'm a pretty strategic thinker. I have very few practical skills, though. Oh and I can also prepare an amazing lasagna.

Weapon of Choice: I dunno, something like a baseball bat I guess. Or perhaps a crossbow. Not that I have much experience with the latter. I just like distance. I guess a knife will do the trick s well, though.

Short History: I was on my way to audition for a role in a play somewhere in California. Is that good enough? Sorry, I'm a European guy, I have absolutely no clue what I'd be doing in America. I don't even like America.

Preferred Starting Location: California or smt

Other: I tend to walk off on my own at times and just sit somewhere and listen to music. Also, if I see a piano, I will play on it.

Username: Punished Snake

Preferred nickname(s): Snake, Rick

Age: 17

Picture/Description of yourself: A medium built teenage who stands around 6'1 or 6'2 in height. Hair isn't too short, but it is shortly cut to his perspective. Brown eye color adds to the dark brown/black hair he has, but the facial expressions he makes are masked by the glasses he wears. Preferably he likes to sport black combat boots along with dark jeans, followed by an equal dark shirt with leather jacket.

Personality: Cool, funny, friendly, possibly psychotic

Skills: Capable of handling firearms of .45 or lower, as they are the only ones he's ever fired before. He's also good at mechanic work as in cars. Having taken three years of auto classes helps him out when somethings wrong with the vehicle. Oh and he can play the guitar, in case there needs to be a 'monster' jam.

Weapon of Choice: Colt M1911A1 .45 ACP (http://www.weapon.ge/images/413_2.jpg)

Short History: He was born and raised in the Alamo City all his life. Snake has lived a very pleasant life there and has many friends throughout his school life. Although some he never got to see again due to them moving, which is rather saddening because that's how he forgets them sometimes. As a high school senior, he strives to make this last year the most important one of them all. He plans to hopefully go to St. Phillips college in his city, so as not to leave home.
During that very year, he began to learn his guitar and become a rather local rockstar in his school and the city. He hopes that one day he can get the courage to play a favortie song of his soon to be girlfriend as his proposal to her. In the future, he sees himself running an automotive empire of a new and more efficient car manufacturer.

I have that black person hair, and my skin is black - but the Jamaican kind of black... So... Yeah... There's that..."

Personality: "To best describe me in one sentence is this: 'I am a social butterfly some moments and then I'll turn into a loner other moments'. I correlate between the two, which could be bad in some moments. I'll be welcoming and would share ideas on the fly, but I would also seclude myself to my own ideals. And also I'm a realist - so that could be potentially bad in some situations.

Skills: "Basic Survival... And I'm an amateur in Computer Science..."

Weapon of Choice: "Since I have this weapon at home, a aluminum baseball bat."

Short History: "Hm. I honestly don't know where I was born - never really asked my mother about it so I left it be. I arrived in school a little late, and was basically older than most of the student body all throughout my years of elementary school, middle school, and first year at highschool. However during my elementary school days, some rough things happened - that I don't like talking about - and that basically caused a paradigm shift in how I view society. I was a wreck for a few months, but came together eventually. Five years later, I'm happily living my life as any other teen would. Few crushes here and few lies there, and I've basically developed the fitting image of what teen should - probably would - look like. But that's probably an exaggeration at best.
