Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a normal day when suddenly a red explosion lit up the sky. The radios spoke of terrorist attacks across the globe before going off with sounds screaming and...eating. Terror spread across the globe as the zombie attacks *and the zombies* grew in number. The number of zombies are especially large in Valen City, NY. The power is still on but the zombie threat makes travelling dangerous. Luckily the survivors have held their ground in places around the city.

Please state your location in your posts. I'm not asking you to be redundant but saying something like "Location: School/Pool" would be a great help.
No Teleporting *You can move from one place to the next but try to be a little realistic.* (BTW "Traveling" can considered a location if you're in between two locations)
No God-modding or killing off someone else's character without their permission.
Romance is encouraged but please don't get carried away. *If you and your lover are that into it just time skip here and take it to PMs.*

Now that we have different threads for each location some of the rules aren't really necessary.


The Police Station: The police station has been turned into a base of operations for the remaining police and any survivors they were able to find on their way. The Police Station is frequently attacked by zombies but there is more than enough ammo to keep them at bay. Unfortunately the food supply is scarce and volunteers are forced to go to the Supermarket in search of food.

The Supermarket: The supermarket is constantly surrounded by zombies, a good number of which were desperate survivors trying to find food. Luckily the zombies are unable to enter because someone was smart enough to seal all of the entrances except a ladder that leads to the roof. It takes a lot of firepower to clear your way to the ladder but anyone who can get in gains access to a large supply of nonperishable food.

The School*safe if visited from The Mall*: The local High school is swarmed by a horde of zombies but luckily it was built sturdy enough to prevent the zombies from breaking in, also any extra tables and chairs were used to board up any 1st floor windows. The Cafeteria is stocked with enough food to last the rest of the year *as gross as it is* but unfortunately the only weapons it has to offer are sports equipment and confiscated guns with limited ammo. There is a bus in the school garage but it's low on gas and has become more of a hangout. Some of the students were lucky enough to find a maintenance shaft that leads directly to the Mall.

The Mall*Is boarded up and can only be visited from school*: Many people wouldn't even think of going to the mall considering the sealed doors and the lack of food, but luckily that might be the reason why zombie sightings are rare. When there are zombies they usually leave as no one stays on the first floor or the balconies where they would be easily seen. All of the food has gotten moldy and stale but the stores are pretty well stocked and most of the games in the arcade are still working.

Pawn ShopIf you can manage to fight your way through and lock the door behind you, you can find everything from baseball bats to guitars. *zombies will get in through the window every 3 posts. An Orange weapon is needed for each attack*

Apartment Complex: The Apartment Complex has plenty of rooms and some people even left food in their refrigerators before fleeing for their lives. Zombies frequently attack this place in search of food but luckily they usually come in small groups. *Zombies will attack you every 5 - 7 posts and an Orange weapon is used for each attack*

Gas Station: Here you can refuel vehicles and pick up a little junk food. The only problem is that it's completely open and leaves you vulnerable to Zombie attacks. *2 posts (Can be from different people) are needed to fuel a vehicle and a Red weapon is used for every post*

The Bank: Honestly I'm surprised anyone would go to the bank considering we've been taking everything for free but If you know how to open the safes, you can leave a few things for safe keeping.

In Between Locations: Traveling: Going from one place to another, Lost: Was unprepared and had to run away from zombies, In Danger: Trapped by zombies and is in danger of dying.

Name: Lucas Coleman
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance:
Personality: Lucas is a 'laid back' kind of guy. Normally, he's cool, calm, and collected until you bring out his hidden fear of brussel sprouts, then he'll quickly become a hazard and, well to say it quite frankly, he'll throw a four-year-old fit. It's actually pretty funny, you should try it.
Background: Lucas grew up mainly with his Uncle Calvin, whom let him stay at his house each and every weekend and through out the summer. The two would pull pranks on the neighbors, make stupid inventions, and just have fun together. But when Lucas went home for school, he was always wrestling with his mother over brussel sprouts and ignoring his father when he was told to 'clean his room' or something crazy like that. His Uncle Calvin was his parent/guardian in his mind, and Lucas looked up to him. And that's why he decided to become Uncle Calvin..
Present day, Lucas still lives up to his decision. And it's frankly not to hard. Everyday he goes to work at his Uncle's bar (where he's the assistant manager), dresses in a style slightly like his Uncle's, has the same taste in women (and men) as his Uncle , and, like his uncle, is still single. But hey, c'est la vie.
When the explosion hit, Lucas was at the supermarket picking up a few items for his Uncle. Unlike everyone else (whom were all at the windows), he watched the red explosion enlighten the sky from isle three, questioning it's purpose. "Maybe it's a failed experiment..?" he had said quietly as the radio station flickered to men announcing the real reason behind the explosion before being cut out. So now he's hidden out in the supermarket, with no weapons to help his escape. To make his time useful he's become the all-time guard of the ladder to the top of the building, always hoping for someone who could spare a knife that wasn't made out of plastic or something.
Starting Location: Supermarket
Other Info: As mentioned, he hates brussel sprouts with his life.
