The Initial Infection

[Bucktooth]

Hello, and welcome to my very own RPG. This thread is a serious roleplay and i would like quality posts. First off i will start with the backround info.

You are an Average citizen living in a big city. One day a zombie infection breaks out. People start turning into zombies, but some peoples DNA is not suseptable to the disease. 10% of the population survives. You are one of those 10%. The 10% is random, meaning your parents and siblings may be infected. You do NOT have any weapons besides basic utensils such as a kitchen knife. You do NOT have super powers, nor can you do anything supernatural. This is as if you are in real life! The only way to kill the infected is to cut the brain and spinal cord connection. Hitting them in the arm 40 times will do nothing. These zombies are attracted to sound, so being quiet is the best tactic, but your character will not know that right away. These zombies are people that have been lost, they are gone forever once infected. Killing people you know may be hard for your character. The zombies infect non infected by biting them and continually clawing at their flesh. They never eat you, they just have the crave for gnawing and slashing at the living.

It was like any ordinary day. Jay had just finished class for the day and was heading home. It was a brisk Friday evening. Winter was just ending and spring was coming. The snow was gone and leaves were starting to bloom. Jay stopped at the hardware store to pick up a hatchet for his father. It was close to his fathers birthday and Jay decided to get him something. Jays father, Greg, liked to be outdoors and cut trees and branches. Jay paid for the hatchet and got back into his car. He was appraoching his apartment building when something seemed odd. He couldnt quite figure it out, but it was different. As he got out of his car and opened the door of the apartment building he figured it out. There was an awful smell that filled the lobby. The smell was horrifying. Jay quickly spun around to see the desk woman, someone Jay new well, approaching him, slowly, flesh nasty, and moaning. Jay didnt know what to do, but all he knew is this was nothing the woman would do as a joke. Jay grabbed the hatchet he had just bought and readied it for whatever was going to happen. As the woman got close she swung her arm at Jay. Jay ducked and slashed the very sharp hatchet at the womans arm, putting a big gash in it. The woman did not stop, but continued her assault. She swung again and Jay realiated by hitting her in the head, dropping her to the ground. Jay quickly ran up to his room and closed the door, locking it. While he was in his room he quickly turned on the tv to see what was going he. He couldnt believe what he was seeing on the screen...

Spring was approaching. Giuseppe had very little funds left, so he got a job as a ranch-hand. As dusk approached, Leslie, the man in charge, had one more request for Giuseppe - to put all of his tools back in the barn. When he was about half way to the barn, he heard a faint moaning behind him. He turned to look, and he saw a creature that he never imagined could have existed. Frightened, he dropped the toolbox. Giuseppe tried to run, but he tripped over a log. Desperate, he grabbed the first thing he touched in the toolbox. and started swinging frantically. When all was finished, and he was covered in gore, Giuseppe ran home. He kept the cattle prod that he used to decimate the mysterious creature, in case he encountered another one. He still had no idea what it could possibly be. As he walked in the house to greet his host family, there was an unbearable sight...

Every channel was on the same porgram. A news man was outside telling the world how a disease has broken out and that most of humanity has become infected. He said scientists and doctors have no idea why some are not being infected, but these creatures are highly dangerous. Just at that moment the cameraman was hit by a zombie and the screen went gray. Jay knew things were bad.

He got up and went to his room and picked up a backpack. Jay was deciding to leave. He wasnt going to survive here forever and he knew someone would set up a base for refugees and the such. He went into his kitchen and grabbed some basic utensils and a pot. He grabbed his cell phone and cell phone charger and some canned food. He would need canned food for later as he didnt know where he would end up. He then remembered about his parents. He opened his cell phone and called their number, but the line was dead. He suddenly felt sorrow. His parents may or may not be dead. He suddenly was filled with anger. He wanted vengence on all the creatures, but for what reason he didnt know. He grabbed his bag filled with goods, his phone, now in his pocket, and he held his hatchet in his hands. He decided to grab some paper and a pen. He quickly wrote a note on a pice and tore it out, throwing the piece on the counter. The note read: To whoever is reading this, this is Jay, and i have fled my home. I am not dead as of the writing of this letter. I dont know where i am headed, but i have my phone, if you survive, call me if phone lines, or power for that matter are even up still.

He walked towards the door and stood there. He turned around and looked around. This would probably be the last time he would see this place.

Giuseppe's host family all had looked exactly like the creature he saw earlier that evening. He knew something was wrong. Before he had time to think further, they started charging at him. He turned on the cattle prod and started swinging away. The only people who cared about him were now gone - and he was the one that did it. He fell down to his knees, unsuccessfully trying to hold back tears. Giuseppe went for a walk downtown, to clear his mind. He began to wonder if this was all just a dream. He walked past a newspaper stand. There was a sign that read, "EXTRA!" Giuseppe picked up a newspaper and read the front page:

"There has been a fatal outbreak of a "zombie infection." Experts do not know how or why this disease has been brought about, but you are advised to stay isolated and let professionals handle any conflict. If a situation arises and you have phone access, call ###-####. Avoid confrontation and wait for a trained official to arrive."

Giuseppe couldn't believe his eyes. He had encountered... ZOMBIES. He knew that he couldn't just stand by and let people be killed like this. He searched his host family's house for things that could be necessary. He packed a small bag that had canned food, money, and a lot of water. In his hand, he held on to the cattle prod for dear life (literally), for it appeared to be a good weapon. Giuseppe left the house. He knew that he had a long, dreadful road ahead of him.

Ill accept, but i would like you to describe more about yourself through out the role play, and I hope you have some detailed posts.

As Jay took in the room one last time he began to cry. He wiped his tears and opened the door handle. He peered out from the door and looked around. All seemed to be normal. Jay took a few steps out and stopped. He then walked towards the entrance. He passed the gory scene where he had killed the woman, or what used to be a woman. He could not bare to look as he filled with emotion. He open the door to leave and then he heard a zombie walking down the stairs. It was coming for him.

Jay quickly closed the front door and ran outside into the parking lot. The zombie ran into the door pushing it open. It kept coming for him, its pace never changing, always content on reaching Jay. Jay kept backing away, trying to keep a good distance from it. He did not recognize this person so he decided to just end it. He took his hatchet and charged at the zombie. The zombie did not change in any way, just kept the constant pace it had previously. Jay slashed the hatchet at the zombie, hitting him in the shoulder, doing no damage. Jay backed up, expecting a jolt forward, but it stayed at a constant pace. Jay then took a slash at its chest, oozey slime or whatever it was called bursted everywhere. Jay pulled the hatchet out fast before the zombie did anything. He quickly hit him in the neck, which seemed to kill it finally.

Jay stood there in a mess of zombie in the parking lot of his apartment. He stood there for a good 10 minutes, not knowing what to do. He finally decided to get moving and continued on, not sure where to go.

As Yuri walked to school, he noticed something... Different. Not as many students were here. He saw his friend, Alex. But he was different. Alex looked kind of like a zombie. Yuri walked to class and only about 5% of the class was there. A sharp pain ran through his elbow as he turned around and couldn't believe what he saw.

A zombie! Yuri dashed right out the door, running for his life. He climbed over the fence and dropped his backpack. Yuri came home, thinking everything would be back to normal when he reached home and this would all be just a dream. But it wasn't. All of his family members were zombies. As Yuri grabbed a Swiss army knife and a large block of cheese and his bag, he realized that he'll have to find a cure for the zombie infection. Thinking it would be like Minecraft, Yuri stood out in the open sun.

That wasn't true. Zombies surrounded him, and stabbing them had no effect. So Yuri just plain ran. Where would he go now? There's no place to hide. "About 90% of the people were zombies?!" said Yuri as he stole newspaper from someone who forgot it. He was sure that he would die. Soon.

I have never done any RPG on JV, so I hope I'm good enough. Also, will the characters have the same news, and maybe even interact with each other? Or is it kind of separate parallel universes?

Name: Sam Hansen
Age: 19
Background history: Sam is a guy from Norway. He plays a lot of computer games, mainly Minecraft. He is also a little mad about cacti, talking with them and even thinking they are talking back. He has a lot of different types of cacti in his home, some big, some small and some with very large spines. He also believes in a type of huge cactus god named Fred, which he thinks have blessed him.
Appearance: Sam has brown hair, light skin, and is about 180cm tall.
Weapon (remember, no guns or powers): He can throw some of the larger cactus spines pretty good, like a throwing knife.
Other info: He would do absolutely anything to save a cactus.

It is up to the players if they find eachother, but it would be the best thing to do. Also everything is the same, we are all in the same city.

As for you bio, i dont see how you could reuse cacti spines as a weapon. Change your weapon and you will be accepted.

I will post again tomorrow, got busy today.
