Roleplaying A Zombie Apocalypse (OOC)
ikarirain Fri Dec 18, 2009 1:51 pm
Alright, I'm starting up an idea for a roleplaying thread (this isn't the thread itself) in which each person can have up to two characters for roleplaying. You need to post in here what characters you have, and wait for my confirmation before beginning to roleplay in the other thread.
The main thread can be found here.
Basic Rules:
1) Keep your In-Character (IC) posts clean, readable, and generally understandable. This means no huge blocks of text, anything 'said' by your characters are in quotes, and maintain a decent rate of punctuation and grammar.
2) No God-Modding. God-Modding is essentially you deciding what another person does or what damage they take, essentially taking from them the decision over what happens to their characters.
3) All Out-Of-Character (OOC) posts must either be made here in this thread, or in parenthesis () in the other thread. Example: (OOC: I think I'll have Bob go to the gun shop next guys, if you want to meet him there.)
4) The roleplaying experience will be in a Modern/Post-Modern setting. This means you can come up with fictional weapons, fictional nations, fictional environments based on a Post-Modern setting. To explain Post-Modern, I'd need to compare with other settings, such as Medieval, Modern, and Future settings. Medieval deals with axes, swords, bows, etc. Modern deals with AK-47's, M4A1's, Uzi's, etc. Post-Modern deals with stronger metals, advanced technology, etc. Future deals with extremely advanced technology including Hyperspace, Warp Drives, Ion engines, Space Travel, etc. With that said, I'd like this roleplaying to be set roughly around roughly 2020. You can create weapons based on this concept.
5) Maximum of 2 characters per person. This means that you can hold conversations between your two characters so that your posts aren't immensely short.
6) Apply with characters in this format:
Name:
Age:
Location:
Skills:
Starting weapons:
Preferences:
Background:
Additional Info
You may edit your posts here as often as you like to add additional information concerning your characters.
Also, as the story progresses, I'll be adding additional info into the roleplay to explain further the causes (through news reports or those random "MEANWHILE...In this city over here..." explanations to help give an idea of how fast the infections spread.

This will be my first character. The second will come later. I'm making my second one a scientist who will help further the storyline later on.
Name: Kimberly Orrel
Age: 27
Location: The Sea (travels on a large private yacht)
Skills: Navy experience (in navigation), Military training in the use of firearms, Highly computer proficient, experienced deep-sea fishing.
Starting weapons: Harpoon guns, Large harpoon guns (mounted on yacht), multiple registered firearms stored on a lower deck (in the event of modern-day pirates).
Preferences: Seafood, general music, the ocean.
Background: Kim started her early teens with a fascination for the sea, and a highly innate proficiency with computers, which she used to her advantage in looking online for information regarding navigation methods and sea charts. Following this desire for the sea, she enlisted at legal age into the United States Navy and began working her way into Navigation related positions, learning with an amazing speed. Upon completion of her time in the Navy, Kim spent two years in the service of the Coast Guard before she left to purchase her own private yacht.
With her knowledge of computers, and her experience with the sea, she made modifications to the computer systems and the ships structure, and then began taking up deep-sea fishing in order to keep a supply of food on board during extended travels. Currently she is docked at Rockport, Massachusetts, only a few hours after the first outbreak of zombies.
Yacht Information:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Samantha Fong
Age: 39
Location: Rockford (Vacationing to family during July 4th)
Skills: Scientific Majors in nearly every scientific category, incredible learning speed, creative use of science.
Starting weapons: None
Preferences: Science, learning, experimenting.
Background: Samantha grew up being quite adept at learning the workings of scientific methods and processes. With a desire to test the limits of reality, she took on the daunting task of Majoring in every scientific course within her reach. She passed with flying colors and was quickly recruited into EnviroTech, where she became the leading scientist within a matter of months. Since then, many have claimed her to be a rare genius among science, and many of her discoveries have benefited the world, though in reality she lays no claim to the discoveries, often crediting her fellow scientists instead.
Among the discoveries accredited to her name are Frictionless Brakes, Advanced Solar Panels that convert more of the sun's radiation into energy, and most recently the newest isotope that other scientists developed into the energy plants that had exploded (despite her warnings that the technology to stabilize the isotope was not yet perfected).

Currently she is docked at Rockport, Massachusetts, only a few hours after the first outbreak of zombies.
Yacht Information:
- Spoiler:
Designed as a world cruising and personal exploration vessel, the Explorer class is for adventurers who want to circle the globe. It's heritage is from the offshore supply vessels and the working fishing fleets of the Pacific Northwest. A robust ship of proven seakeeping ability she is fitted with a bulbous bow and Kort nozzle for efficiency as well as roll reducing twin keels. She will be the primary residence for an experienced owner with ocean cruising under his belt. The extensive range, on-board watermakers, and great storage capacity make trans - ocean crossings a matter of course.
The large machinery space is fitted with twin slow-turning diesel engines and twin generators with dry stack exhausts. A hydraulic cruising generator as well as a hydraulic 'come home' powering system are specified. Aft of the engine room is a large workshop and storage room. The accommodation level has ten staterooms with an on-deck master suite. The professional galley and dining room are forward and occupy the full width of the ship. The bridge has direct access to the anchor windlass forward, the side decks, the aft wing stations, and the upper aft deck. The helm area is large and complete with chart table, electronic charting, flag lockers, and radio communication area. There is plenty of room for guest seating in the observation areas as well as a captain's or owner's cabin aft. The upper aft deck overlooks the main deck, for spectators and sun worshippers who do not want to be disturbed. Up the outside staircase to the large flybridge you will find a barbecue, dinette, and settee under the permanent sun top. Many bridge controls are duplicated here for running the ship from 'up top'.
The steel hull and aluminium superstructure have over 4" of insulation as well as double paned windows for maximum comfort in all climates. There are four watertight bulkheads and the vessel meets the ABS Rules for Motor Pleasure Yachts of unrestricted service. All equipment on board from anchors and rode to the fire fighting and emergency bilge pumping system are 'big ship' design. The piping and wiring are also of commercial standard.
The Explorer is a rough, tough, no nonsense, go anywhere class of vessel with the comfort and equipment to do it in style. The raised bow and protected side decks challenge the sea and the high bulwarks protect the sailors on board. The covered decks shield from rain and sun to meet the demands of a wide range of climate. Once at a remote anchorage, equipment can be lowered off the main deck to explore the depths, play in the wind and waves, or fly off for a picnic on an untouched beach.
Hull Engineering, Design and Construction
The Explorer series hulls are designed using the latest technology in offshore vessels. We use the B.C. Research model test tank (at the University of British Columbia) to develop our advanced hulls for optimum efficiency.
Hull and deck are designed and built to American Bureau of Shipping Rules for Unrestricted Offshore Motoryachts and the recommendations of the American Boat and Yachting Council. The full displacement hull features pitch and roll-dampening fixed twin keels which reduce resistance, increasing cruising speed without increasing fuel consumption. They also allow the use of unimproved yards dependent on tides, or even a tidal beach for haul-outs.
The hull, with widely flared bow sections, has great reserve buoyancy for lifting to head seas. Positive stability is achieved well beyond 150 degrees making the ship self-righting in extreme conditions. It is engineered for integrity in all weather conditions to ensure survivability in breaking seas, and employs a spray knocker to reduce spray on deck.
We use the new Bray Tunnel Enclosures around a large diameter highly skewed propeller, developed from technology used on the whisper quiet stealth submarines. Using a very slow rpm we can greatly increase propeller efficiency while reducing noise. This also enables the ship to drive into head winds and big seas without a change of speed. Cruising speeds of 14 knots without the penalty of excessive fuel consumption are possible using these systems.
Engine Room and Mechanical Systems
The engine room has full headroom with easy access without compromising accommodations. It is "clean" and free from a complexity of valves, wiring, and switches, carefully utilizing enclosed, planned panels for ease of access. Automatic and manual fire fighting systems are standard.
We use heavy duty diesels with large reduction gear to turn our propellers. A flexible shaft coupling is used in conjunction with soft engine mounts that are essential to reduce engine room noise and transmission into the accommodations. The ship achieves near silence while underway in all accommodation areas. Dry-stack exhaust is standard to reduce exhaust back pressure and noise, increase engine efficiency and life, and for the removal of exhaust gas emissions from the boat deck. Engine cooling systems are simplified using keel coolers which extend engine life by eliminating salt water.
Fuel and holding tanks are integral to the hull with sight gauges on the fuel tanks. Water tanks are stainless steel. All tanks have access for clean-out. The ship uses Sea-chests with all salt water entering from a single thru-hull into two accessible columns, eliminating multiple hull openings. Heavy plexiglass is mounted on the top for viewing into the chests and the tops can be removed while the vessel is afloat for maintenance and cleaning out.
An engine replacement system is designed employing hatches in the deck. This unique and valuable concept will be greatly appreciated when major mechanical change-overs are necessary.
Additional Information:
The Yacht runs on diesel, but is supplemented with advanced solar panels mounted along the outer hull of the ship. It is possible to run entirely on solar energy, but with very limited speed. The energy gained through the solar panels is stored in a series of 6 high-capacity naval batteries, which, when completely charged, are capable of supplying enough energy to run the ship for several months without additional energy from the solar panels.
Below sea level, towards the front of the ship, is an intake valve that processes the salt water and purifies it, ejecting the excess salt and other substances from another valve located near the rear of the ship. The purification is performed through an advanced hydrolysis-based machine that runs directly off of the naval batteries. This machine provides a constant supply of drinkable water.
The Yacht itself contains 10 Crew quarters (converted into Guest Quarters after Kim constructed a computerized system to handle most of the tasks that required a crew), each with it's own bathroom, a frozen storage for perishable goods, a large professional galley (kitchen), a large dining area, two living rooms, an engine room, a navigation room, an armory (converted from a locker room), Captains Quarters, an observational deck, and a centralized main computer room.
The ship also comes equipped with various short and long-range sensors, highly-advanced radar, three forward-mounted harpoon guns, four aft-mounted harpoon guns, and a topmounted, computer-raised mast with sail, simply in the event that both batteries and fuel run dry.
