Welcome to Gaia! ::

OK, I figure, there's a great Zombie RP going on in Barton town, courtesy of one Lost in Hopes, and yet we're still getting someone here who, from what I gather, tried to make a zombie RP. Well, here you go, guys. A total zombie apocalypse. However, I didn't want to make it a traditional RP, like the one Lost in Hopes made, since that would be pointless and insulting.

So, this is going to be a bit more structured.

First off, there are going to be simple, solid mechanics to dictate what you can and cannot do, and how effective you are at them.

To start, I'll be playing ALL the zombies. I hope to eventually get enough people in this that we can split into teams of zombies vs humans, but to start, I'll be the zombies, you'll be the humans.

The humans are going to have to be careful, though. The zombies may be a lot weaker, but there are lots of them, and if you aren't careful, you may end up stranded, and swarmed.

Most zombies aren't going to be much of a problem, on their own. They'll have low stats, and you'll probably murder them in hordes. There will be a few big ones to watch out for, though.

OK, so, the stats.

HP: Important for living. If you hit 0hp, you're dead.
SP: Stamina. You need this in order to make actions. You run out of this, you're unconscious.
SPD: Speed. This is kind pretty important. It affects a lot of things, most importantly it affects who gets the first move in battle, and how far you can run per point of stamina.
STR: Strength. This affects a lot. Most importantly it affects what weapons you are capable of using, and how many items you can carry.
END: Endurance. probably the most important of your three lesser stats. It affects the speed at which you regenerate stamina. That's it's only main effect though, so while important, it's not a good idea to put too many points here, or you will suffer in other areas.
SKL: Skill, this is important for affecting what weapons you can wield, and what technology you can use. At higher levels it helps you be more accurate against zombies, too.
DEX: Debatably both the most, important, even over endurance. Dexterity helps you dodge attacks from zombies.



Now, human characters, that's you guys, start off with the following stats.

HP: 10/10
SP: 50/100
SPD: 1
STR: 1
END: 1
SKL: 1
DEX: 1

And you have 14 points to add to those however you want to.

For now, since there won't be any zombies yet, I'm not going to reveal their stats. However...

I said there would be big zombies. And there are. I'll reveal them and their stats as you encounter them. I would advise not going after them, though.

Every human starts off with a radio, and a baseball bat. The radio will allow you to talk to each other over long distances, and the baseball bat is a sturdy weapon. It's actually rather effective, but like all weapons, it will break eventually, so be careful in how you rely on it.

You're starting off in a mall.

Blue squares are humans. Red are zombies. Black are walls or other barricades. Brown are other squares. Some have items, some have nothing. You can search a square at the cost of 5 SP. Searches do not guarantee success, and sometimes a square might have more than one item.

Basically if you search, there's a chance you'll get an item or a weapon, no matter how many times you've searched the square. there's also a chance you'll get nothing, though.

There might be more than one zombie on a single red square, you are warned.


The Map

PM me your character using the following format.

Your appearance or backstory or whatever doesn't mean much, but if you want, you can include it in your first post.

Aiden, you have gained consciousness in the dark corner of a mall. You find by your head a baseball bat, and for some reason decide to pick it up and keep a hold of it. At your waist is a Radio, but currently all the channels give nothing but static.

zzzzzzz....
zzzz....
zzzz.....

Due to your high speed, you can move either 2 squares per round at full stamina cost, or 1 square per round at half the stamina cost.

You are at A1. No other humans or zombies(at A1).

Sure, no problem.

Well, for starters, it isn't my character.
Secondly, it does only have 14 points added. You start with 10 HP, and 1 on everything else. You then have 14 to add to that.

So if you put all 14 in Dex, you'd have 15 Dex, 10 HP, and 1 everything else.

*Looks around with a WTF? expression*What's going on?*attempts to initiate conversation with Aiden*
