Plague [PG-16] OOC and SUs

--------Plague--------

Story:
The city of Balice, a large city, a city of some of the greatest advancements in all areas of science. A city with a thriving business sector, with millions of citizens and nearly as many tourist at any one time. A city that will be the setting for an event so historic, so mind-numbingly extraordinary that it will never cease to be talked about, not until the end of humanity as it is known.

The city of Balice has a plague.

The great city of Balice has been infested with a plague, it has spread quickly and many have already died from it. Yet their is hope for the dead, for they will stand once again, but as monsters hell-bent on converting all those around them into more of their kind. The city has been quarantined for the safety and happiness of the surrounding area.

The quarantine line is protected twenty-four seven by well-armed infantry as well as exciting new technology being implemented to prevent possibly infected individuals from leaving through teleportation, flying, tunneling, or otherwise subverting the quaratine boundaries.

The public has been told that the plague kills people and Pokemon, although this is not entirely true. Pokemon are completely immune and those who do die from the virus walk again not five minutes after succumbing to death's embrace. The public has also been told that the plague is natural, as well as being told that the virus can live without a host for an undefined length of time. These are both lies, the plague was originally manufactured to act as an immunizer for several different disease's. The part about the virus being able to live without a host is partially true, it cannot survive without a host but it can use the parts of itself the die to feed off, giving it a possible time of twenty years to live outside a body.

A report to the troops
Men, we ****ed up big time here. We will not be able to keep this virus from spreading, but we can at least keep people from figuring out it was us. Kill any who try to escape, keep it from spreading, by the time our defences fail we'll have found a patsy to take all the blame for us.

Helpful things to know:
Pokemon:
Balice 'had' a Pokemon limit of one, meant to keep Pokemon related crime down before the outbreak, it has now left anyone inside the quarantine borders with only one Pokemon, now unable to be switched ever since power was lost to the city.
Zombies:
Two things attract the zombies, blood and sound. If you get a cut, prepare to run like hell or die. Any loud sound will attract the zombies, this is the main reason firearms are not advised, for what you gain in range you lose attracting more zombies to your location.
Quarantine:
The quarantine line is absolute, it goes underground as well as just on the surface. Teleportation is blocked, supposedly by some advanced tech, into and out of the city[although you can still teleport to different areas within the city].
The skies are monitored with advanced radar datection making aerial escape an impossibility. The basic assessment is that we try and leave, they blow us into several pieces.


Rules:
-No flaming, trolling, sexism, or racism
-No posting without an SU

-These rules are subject to change, I will announce on the OOC forum if I do as such though

Events:
This is not story based, this is freeplay, you can be in groups, or you can go it alone, your only limit to what is allowed is your imagination[and the RP rating]
The only thing that may be considered story is events, in which i'll announce something of interest happening in the city, usually through a post from a characters POV[Point of View]
Mostly Events will just be used to keep interest, and they may or may not get linked together into a kind of mini-story.

SU:
You need one for each character[Max of three characters]

Name*:
Age*:
Gender*:
Personality: One paragraph minimum
Appearance*: One paragraph minimum
History*:[Brief, just how they ended up in Balice(Tourist? Live their? etc.)]
RP sample: Two paragraphs minimum, must be written about the character you are currently creating in the city [Like an introduction post, only really display your characters personality here]

Pokemon: [Max-One]
Species:
Name:
Gender:

All field indicated with an * are required
You are not required to have a Pokemon[But if you then fill out the entire Pokemon part of the SU]
You must have either Personality or an RP sample


Notes: Alright, thats basically it, this is very free form, the story just lets you know why their are zombies and why you can't leave the city, the rest is up to you.
I may or may not have a half-baked story told through the events i've planned, but for the most part this is your game people, your story, run around, kill some zombies, form a fighting force, whatever, your choice on what to do, I won't stop you unless it comes to the point of godmodding or just complete and utter stupidity [Or if people are purposely bullying a single player]
If you kill off a character then that subtracts from your 3 character count, allowing you to create a new character[Which will require a new SU]
I hadn't seen this before so I stole a few things from a few RPs i've done before on other sites and thought it would be fun, so just go out and have fun ^_^

Edit:
As soon as I accept your first SU you are allowed to start posting in the RP thread.

Alright, and feel free to spam this thread a little, just a little though, to keep it high on the front page.

Is that a challenge or a request?

(blinks at Zamorak)

OI! Don't tell someone to do something that could get them banned, especially if there is a mod lurking around (like me). XD

Hmm...as for one single pokemon, I can help but be stuck between Bishamon or Nightmare...Well, that is if I'm actually going to join this RP. I have like six (?), seven (?) RPs I'm juggling right now and it's making my posting slower. (sighs) Well, I probably will anyways...

Neither, it was more meant to mean don't feel scared to talk about stuff that concerns the RP only partially.
That was really badly worded...
Sorry for the misunderstanding U^_^

I was joking! (Unless you were actually being serious?)

And I've always preferred it when the OOC thread are made not just for the Roleplay, but to just have a general chat with fellow Roleplayers. It makes for a much more relaxed atmosphere. And don't worry Michaela, I wasn't actually going to spam and such...

Besides, it's not a crime if you don't get caught... *winks*

LOL, I was just joking as well.

Actually, let me finish up the SU I haven't finished, and I'll get back to you on joining the RP. XD

Whew, dodged a bullet their.
And yeah, thats what I meant Archipelago... i guess I just had trouble properly expressing that.

Name: Kiana Silver

Age: 16

Gender: female

Personality: Kiana can be cold at times, mainly in battles. when someone is being bullied, or when she just plain doesn't like someone, which is rare. She is a fan of people who are talkative because she's a quiet person and she can't stand people who are mean to others. Most people just stay away from her unless they know her and the people who do treat her fairly with respect. Kiana lives by the saying Treat others the way you want to be treated and unless she really dislikes someone she treats everyone with respect. In most situations she'll be the one to stay calm and together but if someone she cares about is hurt or in danger she'll act rashly not even bothering to think.

History: Kiana has just recently moved to Balice. The reason why was because her father was transferred resulting in their move from Pallet town in the Kanto Region to Balice. Shortly after moving here was when the Plague started quickly killing both of her parents leaving her with her mothers Vulpix who still doesn't really listen to her much.

Appearance: Kiana has dark colored skin with a face covered in pale freckles. Just to be different than everyone else her long straight hair is dyed a rich Purple. She stands tall for her age at 5"9' and weighs 167 lbs. Kiana always wears a red tube top, black skinny jeans and red sneakers so her three tattoos can be seen. On her left shoulder is a tattoo of a phoenix, her right arm a black rose surrounded by flames and on her upper back right between her shoulder blades is a tattoo of the legendary Pokemon Moltres. She has each of her ears pierced three times and has just recently gotten her lip pierced. She also carries a machete with her.


Pokemon: One
Species: Vulpix
Name: Ember
Gender: Male

Name: Blake Thomas
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Personality: Blake has been described as a very cold and very headstrong person. He'll put up with a group and easily like the people he's with but when it comes to those who are his enemies he is ruthless in his treatment of them. He'll rush headfirst into a situation without thinking and is glad that in most situations his friend Kiana is there to help him. He can be bold and cocky at times and in most occasions is a very loud person but due to the plague he's forcing himself to be near silent so as not to be caught by the zombies like his parents.
Appearance: Blake has dark skin and jet black hair. His hair is a little long going down to the end of his neck and framing his thin face. He stands at only 4'8 and weighs roughly 98lbs but don't underestimate his size. Blake is a strong kid for his age even though he doesn't look it. He dresses in a black t-shirt, ripped faded jeans, and on old pair of converse, and is seen carrying around a machete just like Kiana but he also has his fathers silenced pistol in his pocket just in case he needs it. Atop his head rests a black beret that his mother gave him for his tenth birthday, which oddly enough was the day the plague started.
History: Blake was born and raised in Balice and knows everyone there and every one knows him. Shortly before his tenth birthday he met Kiana Silver and quickly became friends with her. His parents and older sister were killed saving him from the Zombies that had broken into their home.

Pokemon: One
Species: Sneasel
Name: Slash
Gender: Female

Name*: Miharu Mizushima

Age*: 19

Gender*: Female

Personality: Miharu is called very emotionless at times, due to the fact that she rarely shows emotions on her face aside from apathy, annoyance, and a blank mask. However, she only acts this way around other people; the only time she lets down her mask is when she around her pokemon, or her friends. She is very sarcastic and has a very sharp tongue, but whenever she says sarcasm, she usually does so with a straight face and even tone so others may believe that what she said was not sarcasm. She despises arrogance and will do whatever she can to beat it out of someone. If someone is in trouble, she may not help unless the situation is life-threatening since she believes that sort of experience can either break a person, or let them grow stronger. She will do whatever she can to help a pokemon though. Although she is taciturn, she does say things when there is something important at stake. She also will say whatever is on her mind as she is brutally honest.

Appearance*: Miharu has long, black hair which reaches to the middle of her back. She likes keeping it in a ponytail so it doesn't get into her eyes and she doesn't have any bangs. She also has purely black eyes which can unnerve people at times, she can use that to her advantage when she doesn't want to be bothered. She has a yellowish skin colour and has very definite muscles from the various martial arts training she has had. She is 5'7" and weighs about 121 pounds. She usually wears all black; a black t-shirt and long black slacks, but sometimes she would mix in a little blue as well. She doesn't own or wear any jewelry or any other accessories.

History*: Miharu is a tourist. Her reason for being there? Escaping the paparazzi after becoming the champion of Kanto.

Miharu had first started in the Sinnoh region, deciding that the last region she was going to conquer was her own region. In all four regions, she collected all eight gym badges along with getting all of the Battle Frontier Symbols, both Sinnoh and Hoenn. In the Sinnoh region, she made it to the top sixteen, but lost to another contender. After losing, she had gotten an invitation to the Battle Frontier in Sinnoh and beat all of the Frontier Brains. Afterwords, she had decided to go to Hoenn next. It was there where she made it to the semi-finals, but lost against the future winner of the Hoenn League. She had also gotten an invitation to the Battle Frontier there and beat all of the Frontier Brains. She then went to the Johto region, but after getting all eight gym badges she had decided to go straight to Kanto instead. It was after she had gotten all eight gym badges at the Indigo League where she had finally won the tournament, against the elite four, and became the champion of Kanto at the age of seventeen. During her "reign" as the champion, she had battled all of the other elite four and champions of the other regions. As such, she had a close friendship with many of the elite four members and the champions, but Cynthia in particular. She is not the champion of the Kanto region any longer after stepping down voluntarily.

RP sample: You already know how I RP. :P

Notes: Knows English, Japanese, Korean, Khmer, and French. Has an IQ of 200; she is pretty much one of those "born smart" geniuses who usually don't have to work hard in order to perfect anything that has to do with memorization and learning new things. She usually thinks things through, very quickly, before doing anything and she can usually get information by just reading people or picking up small context clues or hidden messages in the words. She has also very adapt in psychology and uses what she has learnt about the subject in battles. Has studied different martial arts and has incorporated most of them into her own fighting style. She can use practically anything around her as a weapon. She has seen every legendary pokemon in existence except for Arceus.

Also he is someone who believes people are mostly good but that everyone but that people have to be careful around others to protect against those who would want to hurt them, making him seem only a bit paranoid. He has love only for his family, finding it hard to connect with others in any meaningful way outside of what he considers his family.

History: Josh was visiting Balice on business, hoping to further his engineering career in the technically advanced city. His mother and sister died in a car crash when he was twelve due to a failed suicide attempt by his father. he left home and spent several years delivering packages anonymously for a vigilante group looking to decrease crime. afterwards he started studying as an engineer before later helping with an issue that endangered several peoples lives.

Yes, this is going to get very crazy and interesting.
I'm actually partially using this RP for character development that I can't do in other RPs I use the character in.
And I never said your pokemon couldn't be crazy strange.

From the sounds of it yes it is...
