Welcome to Gaia! ::

A group of scientist's look over a battle ridden field. Hundreds of dead soldiers lay waste across the plains. Battle still hung in the air, because the victors had retreated not 10 minutes before. But hope for the dead soldiers was not lost. You see, the scientist's have concocted a new formula, which hasn't been tested on humans. In the lab, they tested it on birds and rodents. And the results were phenomonal. After passing away, the rodents and birds would come back to life with just one injection of the formula. Eager to try out their new toy, they quickly injected many of the bodies. But their happiness soon turned to fear. For the soldiers did rise up from the dead. But, in essence, were still dead. Because now, they wanted flesh. Human flesh. After the scientist's were eaten, the undead soldiers wandered toward town, searching for more food.

OOC: ok, so obviously, this is a zombie RP. I've never created one of these, so this is a new experience. You start out about a month after the incident. The entire continent has been taken over by people eaters. The army couldnt react fast enough, and were destroyed. also, all Television and telephone lines are down. Only people on the continent know of the danger. Or..they knew, at least.
A few facts about zombies: Zombies eat people. They need human flesh to fuel their bodies, much as we need food to do the same. *story time* The word "zombie" came from a snake voodoo god in western africa, where the snake would bite innocent victims with his venom and almost hypnotis them to do his biding. The victims bitten by the snake would walk around town and lead other clueless people to the snake. The legend was that they way the snake was found out was a bitten victim tried to lead her husband to the snake. The bitten wife was never outspoken, and did not have any opinion on anything. But she was so determined to get her husband bitten. The husband followed his wife, hiding a weapon. Peaking around a corner, he saw the snake and slew it. All the people bitten by the snake were released from the snakes horrible curse. Thats the legend. *For the sake of this RP* Zombies infect people by biting or somehow having their fluids *saliva, blood..eye juice?* absorbed into your skin, and giving itself a chance to infect your body. There is no known cure. It takes 2 minutes to turn into a zombie. The first sign is you start to sweat both cold and hot. Another sign is uncontrolable twitching of muscles, the muscles are relaxing because thats what happens when you die. You lose control of your bowels *but lets not use that one...><*, you feel sharp pains in your heart and your head *the virus taking over your cells, eventually destroying them while your still alive* you sneeze and cough alot. *trying to eject the virus from the body, and also because your immune system is destroyed, AAAnd also because your lungs and nose are disinigrating.* And then finally, death. And then rising. Then eating human flesh. Simple, no? Zombies do not have any brain activity. So they do not need to rest, drink, or eat anything other than human flesh. They also cannot recognize loved ones, and cannot run.*why they cant run, i do not know..but they cant* But why do you need running zombies, when theres a whole wall of zombies to block your way? They also cannot do most things normal humans do. Screaming, talking, figuring out the most basic puzzles. Cannot use doornobs either. But, they can smash and cant feel pain, so its a human battering ram. or, well..zombie battering ram.

*hope, i stole your outline from saint magarites. biggrin *

User name: Kirabiyaka-kun
Name: Demond McDonald
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Body type: Very skinny, Demond almost looks anorexic. Although he is skinny, he is also fairly strong.
Appearance:http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/timpot/12023387.jpg
Occupation: High school student at the school now used as a place of refugee. He also worked at a coffee shop about 20 miles from the school.
Life before the incident: Demond was a very popular kid. Even though he wasnt captian of the football team, he still had many many friends. After he got a job at the coffee shop, his popularity only grew.
Life Now: Demond was at home when the zombies came. They smacked around on their door. Not knowing what was happening, Demonds father went to open the door. Big mistake. Demonds father was the first to go. Then, hearing all the screaming, Demonds brother went to see what was happening. Now about 3 zombies were already inside the house. Demond didnt know what was happening, but he watched as 2 of the zombies pulled apart his little brother's arms off. Demond screamed for his, and fearing for his life, ran away. He went to the school, hoping that nothing was in there, and hid inside. He hasnt slept or eaten for 2 days

IC: Demond was under the teachers desk when he heard a huge door slam. He had been under that desk ever since he had gotten there. Streching out, his muscles acked, and his bones cracked. He tried his best to move quietly, because of all the noise his body made. He peeked out of a door and looked around the dark hallways. A few lockers along the walls were open and swaying from the breeze, but for the most part, nothing moved. He slipped into the hallway and moved slowly along one wall. The silence of the school was deafning. Demond slinked along to the other side and walked slowly down the stairs toward the entrance. He heard breathing of someone. A zombie? A survivor? Demond didnt know, but what he did know was he wasnt going down without a fight. He ran back upstairs and looked around for any type of weapon. He didnt find anything. But he looked at the pile of overturned desks that were along the wall. They had metal legs, good for hitting with. He knew once he snapped it off, the person would hear. He had to do this quickly. He grabbed the leg and snapped it off.

Demond heard a loud metal bang hit the floor downstairs. He ran up against a wall and listned for any noise. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed. If i die, im at least taking one with me He thought as he peered down the dark stairs. The sun had already set for this day, so any visible light around the school is incoceivable. He took one more sigh and then slowly crept down the stairs. He quietly whispered " Is..is anyone there?"

"Oh thank god..." Demond quietly said, almost panting. He loosened his grip on the desk leg. The spot where his hands were, were slick and covered with sweat. He tried to quietly walk down the stairs. "Im Demond. Who are you..i've never seen you before." He asked, still walking down the stairs.

[[OOC: It took me longer!]]

"Yeah...I guess....Come upstairs with me, i've...I've been living in this classroom..." Demond contemplated dropping the leg chair, but decided against it. He turned his heel and started to walk up the stairs.

Demond smiled out of habit. "Nice to meet you Anton" He said, as he turned up the stairs. He walked by a few classrooms, and lockers that are in between before he came to "Room 220" He opened the door and sighed. The smell of stale breathing hung in the air, from Demond sitting in there for so long. He walked up the the teachers desk, which was a rather large desk at the front of the room, and placed the chair leg down. He picked up the desk which had the snapped leg, and placed it on the side. He threw a bag of chips, from the table, to Anton. "Got 'em from the vending machine."

PLAYER'S NAME: LunatiCat
NAME: Reinis Zeibarts
AGE: 26
GENDER: Male
BODY TYPE: Reinis is tall and muscular. He’s not only a chunk of meat however and is quite agile.
APPEARANCE: This is Reinis. Just imagine he’s not waving a sword. sweatdrop You can also get rid of the spiky armour in your head...
OCCUPATION: Police officer
LIFE BEFORE THE INCIDENT: Reinis is hardly ever in a bad mood. He’s a bit of a trickster and relies in justice and law… with all of its loop-holes. He was just getting used to his new job and his slightly corrupted pair, when the zombies got loose. He got attacked on his way home but made it inside his apartment unharmed.
After he was enough sure that the zombies had forgot him for a while, he got out and in his car to drive outside the town to see that his family was okay. Unfortunately the Zeibarts’ house was on the zombies’ way before the town and Reinis found his parents dead... He also had to kill them again.
LIFE NOW: Reinis didn’t find his little sister from their house and had to search the town for almost two weeks before he found her. Now they are just trying their best to survive.

IC: Reinis still hadn't totally used to the thought of shooting people's heads off but it was a way better idea than becoming eaten alive. When his gun made a funny empty sounding 'click, click', he cursed and ran after his sister. After running a couple of blocks and a few turns the sound of the zombies faded. Reinis had a pretty good idea how far his sister ran before stopping and started to jog to keep an eye on the surroundings better. He did a little miscalculation and jogged past the garbage can that Velna was hiding behind.

Reinis startled a bit when Velna grabbed his arm and quit jogging for a while. " Oh you... I think they already forgot about us but let's keep our ears and eyes sharp. They might be able to smell flesh though." He talked with a lowered voice. "I know but after the police station, I'm not sure if anywhere is safe."

Reinis was quiet and walked keeping an eye in every shadow and corner that passed. "Tell me if you see any buildings with whole windows."
