  • I was actually not going to join this RP because of the point allocation thing but looking at the IC thread, it's actually nice, the way it will be handled. Can I still have the reservation for the black dude?

    DONE

    Dennis Plum​

    36 years old | Cleveland, Ohio​


    History
    Dennis Plum was born into a traditional family living in Ohio. He had two siblings, both younger brothers, and both more accomplished than he was. When he was born, his father had huge expectations of him, being the first-born. He was given complete independence over his choices, his father truly believing that his son will make the choices he wanted Dennis to make. He was wrong on so many aspects.

    First of all, Dennis grew sickly. He developed asthma at a young age so he did not develop well in the physical aspect. Short exertions of effort will literally take the breath out of his lungs and will always make him scramble for his inhaler. He never played basketball nor football, the two sports his father was passionate about. Instead, he trained in the sports most people with lung problems seemed to turn to: swimming. He loved the feel of water surrounding his body and the seemingly effortless nature of swimming. As he said, 'It is ironic that to help an asthmatic man, you need to teach him to hold his breath underwater while swiftly moving about.' He always found the irony hilarious.

    Second, he became an atheist. His family was Christian, all the way back in the olden times. Dennis Plum, however, was too smart for his own good. Even at a young age, he started questioning the concept of religion and God. He questioned how is it possible for a rain to flood the world when rain is only evaporated ocean and via the law of conservation of mass, it isn't possible. He questioned why God should test a man by ordering him to kill his son. 'He is omniscient, why can he not just know it?' And how can one death of a man save the world of its sins? Pretty deep question that went unanswered. This lack of answers stuck with him throughout his life.

    Third, he became a writer. His father wanted him to become an engineer, just like him. However, his strength did not really lie in the numbers. It was in the words. He was an astounding writer, a poet, and a novelist. He had published the first of his books at an age of twenty-four, entitled "No Man's Land", and had released three more novels afterwards. His father was not happy with it. However, as Dennis puts it, 'I'm putting almost a thousand dollars in his bank every month. He better be contented.'

    Dennis was not the man his father wanted him to be. He was far from it. However, it was his choices that made Dennis who he really is.

    I had so much fun writing my first post, haha. Been a while since I did something realistic, maybe (also bloody).

    Cooper isn't an action hero. I just figured, since both her Strength and Agility is 3 and these zombies could be killed by somebody with 2 even, she could probably kill them rather easily with a bit of anger backing her up.

    Spoiler:

    Well I'm glad you ended up liking it! It will continue to play a role in all our future actions and decisions in the RP, but I will continue trying to make it accessible for everyone to get used to. :)

    You're definitely accepted. Feel free to begin RPing as soon as you're ready.

  • Spoiler:

    Hey Animus! You're accepted! All I ask is that you remember that this is reality-based, so your character will need to adhere to his attributes and avoid too much "movie magic". :) Thanks for signing up and looking forward to your posts!

  • Of course! He may be a complete bad-ass but he's a human who is vulnerable to the same faults as everyone else!

    PokemasterX did! His post begins with a cameo by Cooper. :P

    On a related note, I really do quite love seeing each person that posts including some tidbit from the last poster. It really meshes the whole story together in neat ways and helps the scene feel like it's dynamic and flowing. Awesome start so far, everyone. :D

    I've also decided to only allow ONE more person to join for the time being. We'll be at TEN people after that person, so I think we've had a great start so far and I'm so glad people are enjoying it. :>

    Cameo is not interaction, especially not with my grand invitation :p But it's ok! I'll make a teenage boy NPC instead if that's alright? Stats should be str 1, int 4, agi 2, cha 2.

    That okay? You can take away the history-ish part and just use the second sentence if you want, I'll make sure his history is explained at some point.

    Sorry! Seems I skimmed through pokemasterX's post way too fast, I have no idea how I could be that clumsy with my reading. A note though, I find it weird when you called my character Alynx in the post, as your character doesn't know her name and my char won't want to be called Alynx even - it's Cooper to you! Also please don't bunny my char, even if it's something as little as "Alynx looked at her", because that's for me to decide. Thank you :3

  • 1 last spot open, right? Here's my application.

    JeniferStrong.png

    Name: Cassidy "Cassie" Holloway

    Hometown: Montpelier, Vermont

    History: As the firstborn child of a religious Catholic family, Cassie was groomed to become a perfect role model for her younger sisters. She went to church every week, took communion regularly, recited the Bible with ease, went on playdates with her religious neighbors--everything her parents could do to make her a pious young woman, they did.

    So when what they saw the 18 year-old girl they had raised now, they could not help but to wonder: "Where did we go wrong?"

    For Cassie was introverted, rude, and irreverent, hardly made any friends at school, and barely said a word even under the roof of her own house. She had stopped going to Church at 14, and instead spent her Sunday mornings with the countless stacks of books that have now become permanent fixtures in her bedroom. Be it books on physics or philosophy, Cassie ingested them all, sometimes going through entire days with neither food nor sleep, so absorbed was she in increasing her knowledge.

    Though her parents rued that Cassie had become such a hermit, there was no denying that her unhealthy attachment to books was a great boon to her: she passed her state exams with flying colors, and had a number of extracurricular achievements on the side. She got invitations to several prestigious colleges in the States, but she turned them all down (much to her parents' ire and surprise). Instead, she chose to embark on a journey to "find herself", a fanciful whim many high school graduates entertained. She took the next plane out of town; an emergency destination change and a frantic airport later, she found herself aboard Flight 846.

    Luxury Items: Her iPod, which she listens to while reading books. An old model, useless for anything other than playing music.

    Attributes: Strength: 2 | Intelligence: 4 | Agility: 3 | Charisma: 1
