[OOC/SU] Plague

Plot:

You're pretty much screwed. For some reason, you came to the beautiful vacation spot of Balice City in Kanto, most likely for vacation. However, a strange virus appeared and quickly spread from one person to another until the whole city was cast aside, quarantined. Your job is to live, to escape, and not be affected by the virus. Thankfully, objects that are not alive cannot carry this virus, so even if you touch a wall and then put your hands on your face, the virus will not be transmitted.

What is this virus?

Known as the "Zombie" Plague, anyone who is affected by this virus loses everything that makes them human, as if their soul is no more, and are therefore known as zombies. The humans affected by the virus become brain dead, and their only instinct is to attack and infect until there is no one else left in the city that is not infected. There is really no change in appearance, aside from the fact that they may become gaunt as they cannot eat or drink. In fact, they can't even think. All they can do is destroy.

Where did it come from?

No human knows. However, there has been much talk among the Pokemon that a certain legendary Pokemon caused it. Which legendary Pokemon is this? No one, not even Arceus, knows.

If you have not become a zombie, it could mean that you are immune to it, or are just lucky enough to have avoided it. Although, if you are immune to it, you may still carry it and have the ability to pass it on to others. If you're immune, you are home free.

Or, are you?

Rules:

-Please be active. We understand life and how it can be, so if you are going to disappear for awhile, please notify one of us first. We will also notify you all if either of us disappear ourselves and may allow someone to take over briefly.
-On that note, if you disappear for more than a week without notification, you will be issued a warning. Three warnings and you are out. Warnings may be issued for various reasons, so be careful.
-Please follow all PC rules.
-No OOC posts in the IC thread unless followed by an IC post.
-To make sure that you all have read the rules, even though it's pretty much the standard stuff, put "Jerkbending" somewhere in your SU. Yeah, an Avatar: The Last Airbender reference. You read that correctly.
-Pokemon can have up to ten moves, even though we'll probably not NEED that much as this isn't really a tournament RP (or is it?). Also, make the amount of Pokemon you have realistic to your character.
-No legendary Pokemon
-You may have up to 3 characters. No more.
-Have fun! If you don't, I will hunt you down and-

Here is Miharu:



Here is Neal Samson:

Spoiler:

Name: Neal Samson

Age: 28


Gender: Male

Appearance: Neal has shaggy blond hair that is usually uncombed and very messy. He usually doesn't even try to keep it neat, but it makes him look better. He also has emerald eyes. He is tall, standing about 6'4" and weighing about 150lbs. He is fairly muscular, not to the point with muscles bulging, but to a point in which if someone were to grab his muscles, they would feel very firm. Although he has no jewelry, he does have a small tattoo on his right shoulder of a crescent moon and star. On his left shoulder is a tattoo of a sun and fire.

Neal wears casual clothing, hating suits and ties. If he is invited to a black tie event, he usually would not go unless it is of a wedding or a party of a very close friend, which is fairly sad since he looks so well in a tuxedo. He wears a red t-shirt with the same moon, star, sun, and fire design (sun and fire on the front, moon and star on the back) as his tattoos. He wears comfortable blue jeans. He has been called handsome by many people and knows it.

Personality: Arrogant of his looks, but still fairly down to Earth, Neal has been known as a lady killer. He flashes a bright white smile and the ladies swoon. He knows that he is handsome and uses this to his advantage to picking up ladies. He is also a very smooth talker and can sometimes get the hardest to get women to fall for him. However, all he really does is flirt with women. If someone catches his eye, he may go on a few dates with the women, but has been disappointed with his relationships so far. He is a romantic at heart and the reason why he flirts with so many women is to try to find the perfect one. In his mind, the perfect one is the one who won't fall so easily for his charms.

As a smooth talker, he is well versed in psychology, seeing the right buttons to push in order to get women to fall for him. It has been said amongst his friends that he could talk a killer to stop killing with his smooth talking skills around all genders.

Neal does not like to fight, preferring to stay away from battles and the like. He loves contests though and wants everyone to see the beauty in pokemon, not just to duke it out in rough housing. However, just because he doesn't like to fight doesn't mean that he can't. Even with disliking fighting, he is a brilliant fighter, knowing the weak spots of pokemon, just as he knows the weak spots of women, and is able to hit them hard. All of his pokemon are good for contests and battling, just in case.

He is known to be slightly irresponsible with his own image, but he always makes sure that his pokemon look amazing for contests. He knows how to sew clothes for people and know how to mend his own clothing when it gets ripped. He always carries around his sewing kit. Always.

He dislikes beer, but is a huge fan of wine. He knows all of the best brands, and owns them as well.

When he has to battle, his face turns fierce and harsh, unlike the casual and flirting smile that he usually wears. His mind becomes sharper as he is able to pinpoint pokemon's weak spots, not to mention the fact that he grew up battling and training. He is, however, ashamed of his appearance and does not battle unless it is really necessary, and only if there is no one paying attention to him. Due to this, he is really fast, being able to out run some pokemon, since he always tries to run rather than battle.

History: Neal was born into a rich family in Lilycove City and this sometimes shows in the way he talks as well as his body language. He had multiple servants waiting on his hand and feet, as well as the ability to get whatever he wants. His father managed to get him three very rare pokemon for his eighth birthday; an Anorith, a Feebas, and a Togepi. Neal grew up training with these pokemon as his father used to be a former champion when he was younger. He was very good at battling due to his early training.

However, when he was ten, Neal was not paying attention as he let Anorith and Togepi battle each other. He was training one on one with Feebas when he heard a scream. He turned. His mother had went for a walk and when Togepi dodged a move that was aimed towards him, his mother, who was right behind Togepi, got hit instead. Although she recovered, she remained paralyzed from the waist down, due to the attack hitting on her spine. Neal has never forgiven himself for that and that is the reason why he went off battling.

When he was twelve, Neal started on his journey. He went to Littleroot first and managed to help Professor Birch escape from the Mightyena that was chasing him. Professor Birch was so thankful that he gave Neal a Torchic. Neal thanked the professor and went off to the next town.

Odelle Town was a small town and he didn't stay there long. He did, however, find a Ralts on Route 102. A few days after starting his journey and he already had all six of his pokemon! Neal had decided then that these were the perfect contest pokemon. He wouldn't need anymore pokemon ever. These were already perfect; he had a smart pokemon, a beautiful pokemon, a cool pokemon, a tough pokemon, and a cute pokemon. It was perfect!

Petalburg City was next. He all but skipped the gym, he had no interest in battling, when a trainer named Scott stopped him. Scott took one look at Neal and said that he had potential, but he was afraid to use it and that he should challenge Roxanne's gym. Shocked at how Scott read him and angered by his suggestion to go back into battling, Neal needed to get off some stress. He battled a trainer and beat the trainer easily. However, Neal didn't know, Scott was watching him battle. After the battle, Neal went through the Petalburg Forest.

In the Petalburg Forest, he kept on getting all of these challenges from Bug Catchers. However, Neal politely declined and went on his way through. However, while he camped in the Petalburg Forest, his Feebas was stolen by a pokemon hunter. Mad, Neal went after the hunter. He beat the hunter and managed to get his Feebas back before the night was over. Neal left the hunter, passed out, tied up, either for someone else to find him and notify the authorities, or for easy prey for the wild pokemon. Either way, Neal never heard from the hunter again.

Rustboro City was next. Remembering Scott's suggestion in Petalburg City, Neal guessed that it wouldn't hurt to check out the gym, but not battle. He watched the battles and frowned at the way that the trainers who tried for the gym badge fought. They were obviously beginners, having not seen the weakness of Roxanne's pokemon. After the last challenger left, Roxanne finally noticed Neal who had been watching the entire time. Roxanne asked Neal if he was a challenger and he said no. Roxanne nodded and asked Neal to leave. Neal did so, but not without winking slyly at Roxanne and stating the weaknesses of Roxanne's pokemon. As Roxanne gaped after him, Neal left. He stayed in the pokemon center overnight and left the following morning.

As Rusturf Tunnel was open, Neal went through that way in order to get to Vendurf Town, the first place for contests. Neal managed to win in all five categories easily, each of them earning a ribbon in their category. With this, Neal went to sleep at the pokemon center again, before heading out.

Hoenn continued on along this pace until Neal managed to gather all of the ribbons and get each of his pokemon to have all five sets of ribbons. This took two years, causing Neal to be fourteen before moving onto Sinnoh where other contests were being held.

Sinnoh also went along with this pace, him traveling and winning ribbons until all of his pokemon got all five sets of ribbons each. This took three years, meaning he was seventeen when this was done, especially since he took awhile to visit everything..

Due to his efficiency in contests, Neal was invited to a top Coordinator festival. He managed to get to the finals where he had to go against Wallace in a Contest/Battle. The earlier parts were just performances, but when Neal heard about the battling part, his interest in winning the top prize as best Coordinator fell. Although he was brilliant in the contest aspect, he fell apart in the battling part. Wallace, the champion of Hoenn and his opponent, noticed that something was off. Due to Neal's horrid performance in battling, he lost. However, afterward, Neal got attacked by a man in a mask. Neal, seeing no one was around, beat the person in the mask easily and took off the person's mask. To his astonishment, it was Wallace. Wallace stated he knew that something was off and wanted to find answers. Neal wouldn't have actually been hurt. Neal, upset that he had been founded out, was also angry, until Wallace offered to train Neal in order to balance both contests and battles. Neal agreed, although he did warn Wallace of his distaste for battles. Neal trained under Wallace until he was twenty-two, in which they went their separate ways. Neal traveled around in order to flirt with the ladies, before moving to Balice City at the age of twenty-seven. He lived there for a year before the plague hit.

Weapon Preferences: A small handgun, given to him by Wallace.

Done

Name: Jasmine Smith
Age: 16
Gender: female
Legendary: Suicune

Appearance: Jasmine is of average height for her age around 5'3, 5'4 and weighs about 115lbs. Her hair is long and straight and is a rich brown in color with light sky blue highlights in it. Most of the time she styles it down but her bangs sometimes tend to get in her eyes. Jasmine has a paler skin color that makes the freckles dotting her face stand out even more under her dark green eyes.

She dresses in a pink long sleeved shirt that has black lace at the end of the sleeves and at the collar. Over that she wears a light blue t-shirt with black lace at the sleeves and collar as well. She wears a skirt that has a pink band at the top with black lace and a black bow, the bottom part of the skirt is light blue and polka dotted. On her feet she wears thigh high black socks with the same black lace at the top and on her feet she wears pink and black loafers. Her accessories include a black bow in her hair, pink necklace, bracelets, and anklet, and a small black purse.

Personality: Jasmine has a very split personality. Around her friends and other humans or Pokemon she is very friendly and kind seeming like a normal average 16 year old girl. With those she trusts Jasmine is very protective having lost people she cared about before. To do so again would shatter her. Her temper brings out her other side. If angered or in a battle with the enemy Jasmine is fierce and violent. Her anger makes her ruthless and she holds a deep grudge against the zombies and will not hesitate to kill one if it crosses her path. Her hatred for the Zombies and the virus is stronger than her hatred for anything else. Jasmine has vowed to help as many people as she can survive. As well as herself and to find the cause of the virus to make them pay.

History: Jasmine was born and raised in Balice City. Her father Jacob Smith was the CEO of one of the leading company's Aero Corp which earned millions of dollars making airplane's and machinery. Her mother Louisa Smith was co-president of the neighborhood garden club and spent all her time either gardening or teaching Jasmine ballet as she grew up. When she was little Jasmine was kind and respectful her mother being more like a best friend and her father being a stranger. Life was good but on her thirteenth birthday everything changed. While waiting at her school for her mother to pick her up a limo pulled up and it was her father. He had a somber expression and Jasmine soon found out that her mother had perished in a tragic car accident not long before. Devastated Jasmine dropped out of her public school staying home and teaching herself but she also changed in more ways as well.

The shock of her mothers death had caused Jasmine to shut out others including her father and stay alone at all hours of the day reading, writing, or going down to the families Archery range to practice. In the next three years her voice was rarely heard and then it happened. The virus was released and her father became infected. Before he could turn un-dead he begged Jasmine to kill him and then burn his body. Terrified and crying she did as he asked killing him with a clean arrow to the neck letting him die painlessly before she burned the body. In tears she took his ashes and placed them in an urn next to her mothers grave speaking for the first time in years vowing to survive and get revenge.

Weapon Preferences: Just a simple bow and arrows.
Pokemon: Jasmine has one Pokemon. A Liepard by the name of Shade knowing the moves: Night Slash, Sucker Punch, Hone Claws, Shadow Ball, Shadow Claw, Faint Attack

JerkBender

Name: Jason Wells
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Legendary: Articuno

Appearance: Jason is just a little under 6ft tall and he is a little heavier then 170lbs. He has dark green eyes and black hair that is, under normal circumstances is kept short, but due to the abnormal circumstances of a zombie plague has grown and often falls over his eyes. Jason has no tattoos or scars, and usually has a pretty clear complexion, but once again zombie plague steps in, the stress of which has caused him to break out pretty badly. As well as suffering from acne and annoying hair in the eyes, he has a series of bruises and cuts from various measures necessary to keep him from becoming zombie food.

Jason prefers wearing short sleeve shirts, because they're comfortable and they don't restrict movement very much. He also wears loose-fit denim jeans for much the same reasons as short sleeved shirts, as well as keeping the blood from downed zombies off his legs. He also wears running shoes for the purpose of running from the zombie, which is sometimes the only solution for dealing with them. He also doesn't wear hats, glasses, rings, or gloves of any kind, he will sometimes wear a necklace though.

Personality: (At least ten sentences)
Jason isn't the most talkative person there is, preferring his own thoughts much of the time, but is still trying to become a more verbal person. He is also straightforward, not liking to have to dance around a topic or not being able to deal with something as soon as humanly possible. His way of thinking also makes him prone to missing the easiest solution, although he normally ends up with a solution that works, even if it's not the easiest and most effective one. He also has problems trusting others as anything more than just acquaintances, which has kept him from making any really close friends. Jason is also kind, if not trusting, towards other people since he wants to be liked by others even if he is unwilling to trust them.

Jason is also someone who sees a lot of problems with the world and is able to accept it as a necessary part of the human condition, although not happily. He also has trouble staying with any one thing for any major length of time, jumping from one thing to the next fairly quickly. Jason also has a history of making fairly bad decisions that somehow pan out[exmp. he moved to a city where he knew nobody and had no friends and ended up with a place and a job]. He also cannot just leave something be, if something looks out of place he feels like he must examine it, something which is probably not very good in a zombie-filled time such as this. He also isn't very good at explaining how he does things, more often then not the only explanation he can think of is that it just made sense when he did it.

History: Jason lived with his parents as an only child for most of his life, moving around a lot but mostly spending his childhood in southern part of Hoenn. Moving around a lot he never had a good chance to make any close friends, and more often then not was shunned just because he was the 'new' kid, and he became a fairly quiet and passive person to help avoid any teasing that came with the label "new kid". Eventually his family settled in Mauville city, but he wasn't able to make any good friends, always under the impression that it was just another temporary place and they would be gone soon enough. Eventually he grew out of his silence, although he wasn't able to make any close friends he became fairly well liked around where he lived.

Eventually once he became old enough to move out from his parents he tried staying in Oldale for awhile, which is where he caught his Linoone whom he nicknamed Sasha, but eventually Oldale begin to have the feeling of "been there, done that" he'd been feeling most of his life living in southern Hoenn. After about a year he decided he had to go somewhere completely new, and ended up in Balice city, working in a deli nearby his apartment in the south side of Balice. Although he feels like he could be doing better but he isn't unhappy with where he is at the moment. He was saving money to hopefully take some college courses in business and economics in the hopes of starting a successfu business of his own.

Weapon Preferences: He has a pistol he got off a dead officer's body and a heavy metal rod he found on a construction site. He hasn't found any extra ammo for the pistol so he mostly uses the rod.

Pokemon: Linoone [None in PC]

Finished =D

You are reserved!

I told him about it. Didn't you? LOL?

Nakuzami said:

But I believe Plague was around before Dead Island. If not, THEN SCREW YOUR ISLAND OF DEAD! Lol ;3
I reserve you now :D
Also, my SU should be up later too. Although, I have three characters, so it'll be slightly longer for the other two.

Click to expand...

lol, Im not saying its stolen but it just sounds exactly the same.

@MichaelaTheUchiha yeah you can leave out the X's, most people call me Jumbo any ways.

Ill have my SU up maybe tomorrow.

Thought I'd ask just to make sure... its ok to make a mini profile for my character's Pokemon as well right? :D

Sorry Its a little thing I like to do in RPs since the Pokemon themselves have a history and a personality. Also it will mean it will take me a little longer to make a SU, but it should be worth it :p

I've been working non-stop on my SU cause I don't have a life and Im done. Now Im not good with SU's so bear with me if it... well.. sucks. :P

Also If I do get accepted, can I has 12 Gauge?

@Stingray: Go ahead! I would very much enjoy it. It also gives you a better chance of being accepted.
@Jumbo: I have no idea what that is. o.O
@Elite Killer: You are reserved! But not on the first post until Nakuzami comes back online...probably tomorrow. xD

Also, just to let you all know, people are NOT going to be accepted right away. When we believe that we have enough SUs (or SUs stop coming), Nakuzami and I will talk about which people are accepted. It is NOT first come, first serve. So, if you find that I or Nakuzami are ignoring your finished SUs, we've read it (I've read it), but we have to wait for others before letting people know if they are accepted or not.

I've been meaning to get back here awhile, but I've been so distracted with minecraft and team fortress that I haven't really put effort in until now.
