The day was cold as a slight breeze hung beneath the clouds. The year was 2778. Vaults were opened across Manhattan Island, people went out into the new realm to inhabit it once more. Years went by; the island was filled with citizens from the vault once again. The island was completely safe with the exception of Central Park, who’s forest no one dared to travel into, and of the few who did, almost none of them came back alive. Some parts of the subway were still unexplored do to fear of the unknown. Some told tales of vile radiated beasts which roamed beneath, while others spoke of merely myth. However, no one expected the day when even the darkest creatures of Manhattan and man would fear one beast alike…

“Marshal, are you sure we should open it…?”

An old mustached man stood there, forging a cigar from his mouth. He wore a “NYC police department” uniform as the justice-keeper of the island. Beside him were two men, each wearing ragged leather padding and carrying a weapon of their own.

“The other vaults have been opened for years Joey. They just don’t know it’s safe to come out yet. Let’s open the damn thing, it can’t hurt us…”

Joey nodded. The third figure marched his way toward the panel of the vault and deactivated the door. With that, the doors of the vault split open. A light breeze rushed into the vault, and a moaning sound was heard.

“Marshal, look there, a survivor…”

A lone figure sat in what looked like to be a tornado-drill position. His body was hunched in a crouch position and his hands were locked over his head. He wore jeans and a white T-shirt, which appeared to be tattered and ripped. The body began to shake: it was shivering.

Joey gathered a fearful solemn look, eying the body with suspicion as it shivered. The third figure who opened the vault door ran over to the body, going up to the supposed survivor.

“Are you alright?”

The crouched body replied with some sort of moan, as the leather padded figure above him reached his hand out to touch his shoulder.

“Mangus! No!”

The figure lunged from the earth, spreading his mouth wide. It literally looked like the man had rabies, except the white foam was replaced by blood. His shirt was tattered in bloody scratches, and one could notice a bloody bite on his arm and several on his back. The man lunged into Mangus’ side as he quickly grabbed his assault rifle, doing best to shoot at the apparent cannibal. Only sprays of inaccurate bullets lunged into the dark tunnel of the vault, screaming as they collided with some metal object in the deepest corners of the halls.

“Damn it!”

Joey accelerated up to the now wrestling foes, drawing his rifle and taking the cannibal’s head off in pieces from a mere five feet away. Mangus sprawled on the ground, rolling in pain as blood gushed from vital bite wounds.

“Marshal, help, Marshal-“

He was cut off from a motion of screams. Joey peered up. Dark echoes shattered the tunnels of the vault. They continued to grow, from five, to twenty five, to fifty five, to seventy five…

Their own voices soon joined the cries.


28 Days Later

Run, damn it, run...I have to keep running...run...run...run...

The swift legs of an African American man sifted through the subway tunnel air. Air flew through the tattered holes in his polo shirt. His eyes were nearly bulging red, as great fear spread throughout his face. He held an AK-47 in his hands, and his head kept turning back at the darkness that seemed to flutter behind him.

Run, damn it, run...I have to keep running...run...run...run...Can't stop running, not yet...

He couldn't run anymore. The path ended: there was nowhere to run. He turned back to face the darkness as his expression grew gridded and bitter; a look of fear, anger, sadness, and hate in his eyes. He steadied his weapon as the monsters emerged from the corner of the darkness. He turned the gun on himself...

Screams continued to fill the darkness


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You have now arrived on Manhattan, and are attempting to escape the island. The bridges are broken from the great war, and you will have to find fuel (quite a bit of it) to escape the island by boat. Manhattan is inhabited by zombies of different strains. Supplies and even weapons lay in the deep buildings of the city, but the zombies are also in great number.

You will be RPing a character who is trying to escape literal hell. Your character will have to make decisions to determine his own life or death.

You've likely arrived to the city as a mercenary holding a contract, an authority official sent to investigate, or a traveler who has wondered on this island due to a fuel run-out. The island was re-inhabited by settlers after the war, but over time a vault remained unopened. Inhabitant authority officials decided to open the vault, only to find a vault experiment gone wrong: turning the inhabitants into zombies. The virus spread through the island, effecting every human, mammal, and super-mutant and many other beasts on the island. Your character will now be faced with a difficult challenge: to escape this island alive.

The Virus


The virus is the actual thing that makes a person a zombie. It thrives off nervous system control. This makes a head shot an instant kill in most cases. If a zombie is shot in the bodily tissue, it may cause damage to the zombie's movement ability, but the zombie will not feel pain. If one spinal-taps a zombie (breaking the spine), or shoots a zombie in the spine, it will disable it's body control down from that section. If you shoot a zombie notably at a pressure point, it will disable nerve ability in that area.

The virus is spread through being bitten into an artery in the limbs, neck, or torso. Veins take it to the lungs where it is apparently filtered out. Therefore, a light vein bite will hurt, but will not effect a human being. Once an artery is opened and the virus slips in, it makes its way through the full artery system and into the brain. When the virus hits the brain it takes control of it and the nervous system. The infection effect takes no time at all. Once the virus is in the brain, you are a zombie.

Also, you may hit zombies with frying pans or other blunt objects. These cause concussions and disable the nervous system temporarily: Yes, it is possible to give a zombie a concussion.

Symptoms

*Foaming at the mouth

*Twitching

*Popped Blood vessels in the eyes and on the body (from rapid blood flow caused by virus)

*Automatic urination of original body liquids

~~~~


The Infected

*List is updated as new infected are discovered

Common Infected: A common person who has become a zombie. They have decent speed, comparable to that of a drunk person chasing someone.

Riot Infected: A police-riot officer who was infected. These men are bullet proof from the front, and can only be killed by shooting from behind, or a melee attack.


Rules


*No ubering

*This isn't a kill fest. There are hundreds of zombies, thousands in fact. You are supposed to run.

*Feel free to be creative and send in suggestions for more infected types. Once the hosts approve, you may write them into your post.

*PM all sheets to JonasVault101. Remember, you can join at any time.

*When the GM sends something after you, don't ignore it. Find realistic supplies. There are few weapon shops, but you'll find weapons in them (a lot). If you are at a national guard armory, there will be a lot of "exotic" weapons. If you are at a SWAT station, you'll find some SWAT and police weapons. You get my point. Don't forget, you can use about anything as a weapon. If you slap a zombie with a frying pan, it will knock him out because of the nerve disablement.

*In your posts, post your location in BOLD-UNDERLINE at the top of the page: If you are in Greenwich Village, it would be Greenwich Village

*Special Note: There is a subway in New York.

Have fun. You all may begin posting. PM Ringman, Woolymammoth, or Jonas if you have any questions.

Woolymammoth



Name: Aaron Young

Age: 28

Race/Ethnical Background: 7/8ths White, 1/8 Native American

Gender: Male

General Appearance:
Aaron is a man of a lean-athletic body build up, measuring to about 5’10, and weighing in at 175 pounds. His skin is slightly tanned more than any regular white man, as it shows his Native American heritage. It is very difficult for him to get sunburned because of his skin tone. His body (notably his calf muscles) is lean and allows him to move with quick agility. His hair is a dark brown color, showing edges of lightness in some spots; his hair is about an inch long and mostly stays down on his head. He has short bangs that come down on his head, which are very curly on one side. Aaron’s body can often be seen covered with scratches. As for facial hair, he wears a coarse short shave on both sides of his face. There is nothing unusual about his nose or mouth, though if one pulls back his right straighter bang, they can see a slight bump in his skull, which if touched sparks an awkward feeling of slight pain, though it is nothing to worry over. He features a notable scar going up his left hamstring, though it is usually covered by clothing. He appears white, but his slight skin tan, along with his native eyes and ears show his Native American heritage.

Apparel:
Aaron wears a light SWAT uniform ( http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/12478/879647-members_of_the_60th_security_police_squadron_s_base_swat_team_super.jpg ) (bottom one), and usually wears the a black bandana over his head (shown at top). He keeps the actual ski mask and goggles in a black-blue backpack he wears. His uniform is padded, most notably with a bullet proof vest. If he is hit there, it is not a lethal blow, but the bullet still packs a punch and usually sends him flying into the earth. Under his uniform, he wears a white T-shirt. He carries a change of clothes in his backpack, which consists of cargo-shorts and a hooded-sweatshirt, along with a second white T shirt.

Weapons:
Aaron’s main weapon is a black SWAT LWRC-PSD ( http://www.onpointsupply.com/lwrc_rifles/lwrc_psd_2.jpg ), which packs a large punch with its large bullet size. As a pistol, he carries a Berreta 92 ( http://www.waffennoser.ch/img/beretta_92_fs.jpg ). He also carries a Remington 700 Police Version over his back (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Remington_Model_700.JPG), which serves as a long-ranged weapon. It is very light and easy to carry. Other than this, he carries a machete as a melee weapon, but he really doesn’t have to use it all that much: his guns serve their purpose. He does carry three frag-grenades that he found at the ruins of a National Guard armory. He carries a few flashbang grenades that he has acquired from the police department.

Miscellaneous Possessions:
Aaron carries what every man needs: food and bottled water. Of course, it is a limited supply, but it works well. He carries a taser from the police department. He also carries a deck of cards, because he loves to play poker. Other than this, he doesn’t carry much else around to weigh him down. He carries a copy of the Bible around with him.
Skills:
Aaron has learned to shoot and the other basic skills of survival. He can use anything as a weapon. He has read books about past martial arts, and even practiced them as a teenager in the new settlements of Atlanta. He is also a very good poker player, using strategy to his advantage. Overall, he is a smart, good problem solver, which is mainly why he has survived to this day.
Psychological Profile:
Aaron sometimes, in a social setting, always looks like he is mad for some odd reason. Not that he is, but that is just part of him. He is smart and thinks his decisions over, but he is independent and usually hides his emotions inside him. He thinks it is interesting to talk to people, but he doesn’t trust many people. He’ll often ask a question where he already knows the answer, to see if the other person would lie about it. He is honest, and protects others who he is cooperating with. While he isn’t easy to anger, once he is angered he is a truly uncontrollable and feels no pain. This is often a bad thing, because he takes his anger out on other people at this point, rather than punishing himself as many do. He tries to keep his head low and stay out of trouble.

Bio:
Aaron grew up as a boy in Atlanta, a descendant of a vault survivor. His father owned something that was like a shipment business. As a boy, he learned how to fight with both his hands, weapons, and making things into weapons, as it was necessary for all to know how to fight. Everything was normal. He had his fights, he has a person he loves and a home. He soon took a shipment up to Portland, Maine, where on the way there, he stopped by Manhattan for supplies. He has now come back from his shipment trip and is need of fuel for his boat. He felt uncomfortable that someone had not traveled with him on the trip, but he was the only one who could make the shipment, thus, he had to go alone.

Companions:
Attila, the German Shepherd:
Attila is Aaron’s trusty dog, a stocky one at 140 pounds. He is an experienced dog and actually does not like to make noise as it may seem contrary. He knows what is important for survival, and he is good at giving Aaron signals, or sniffing something out for him. He went with Aaron on this shipment trip, and now has to help his master overcome a very wide obstacle.

Skills: David was an excellent marksman with his tactical rifle, he found 8 years ago, in near mint condition in the bunker of a Vault-tec testing facility in Texas. He is also fairly adept with bladed weapons such as knives and some sword-like weapons. He is a VERY good cook and can take care of himself well in the wasteland.

Clothing: Brown Army Combat Pants, Thick Military Jacket, Old Long Sleeved Shirt, Fingerless Rifling Gloves, Green Headwrap. A bandoleer of .223 bullets, about 40 in total on the bandoleer. Also a belt across his waist of 30 or so shotgun shells.

-http://i.cnn.net/cnn/SPECIALS/2000/columbine.cd/Photos/PUMP.SHOTGUN.JPG

((He's decked. Lets put it that way.))

BackPack: A bag of dried Brahmin bits, x2 Cram, x1 Dandy Boy Apples, 3 prescription bottles of pain killers, a coil of rope and a spool of wire. Also carries a modest amount of ammo for each gun, 6 mags for his M14 and around 40 shotgun shells. Along with this he carries a self-made kit to make an IED or two.

Personality: David is a pretty friendly man, trying his best to come off as a light-hearted person. While most of this is true, he harbors a certain darkness within him, something that doesn't let him get attached to people easily. He will always help a person in need though. One of his greatest fears is whatever he can't see. He has a serious weakness to sweets.

Bio: David has been working as one of the most feared Mercenary leaders in the Mid-West. He ran the merc group "The Flatland Company" for 12 years, using 50 dangerous men as his partners in business to build a small fortune as well as build a small city in Oklahoma to run the company out of. He carried out over 4 dozen successful missions, from raids, assassinations, search and destroy, all the way to full-scale battles with Raider clans and Super Mutant packs. As well as many protection missions. It all ended when David's men grew weary of the fighting, so they all said their fond farewells, packed their amassed wealth, and parted ways.

David however, simply headed East, still fighting, and every once in a while hiring himself out as a merc. At age 26, he met a pretty brown haired, brown-eyed, girl in the city of Chicago, her name was Sara (not Sayre-uh, Sar-uh). They fell in love within a couple years of David staying within the city. Together, they had a child. They eventually settled in Chicago, in one of the small fortified towns at the west-end of the city.

Fate had another plan for David though. An old friend of his, Scott, from their days as mercenaries, came to David one night. He offered a job to David that would pay 80,000 caps. It was a job in Manhattan, the employer was a man who said he had a birthright that needed to be reclaimed from the Empire State Building. David could not pass up the chance. Sara agreed, and soon David left with his friend.

Months later, he was on a boat floating across the Hudson. But due to an unsuccessful raider attack, in which most of the boat's crew along with all the raiders were killed, the boat's fuel reserves destroyed and David and Scott are now stranded in Manhattan.

hircine21

Name: Atlas Riley
Nickname: Black Cat/Unlucky 13
Age: 27
Race: Human, Caucasian
Gender: Male

Hair color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Tone: Light Tan

Appearance: Atlas stands exactly 6'0 tall while weighing in at 178, with an average athletic build. His hair is shoulder length but is very unkempt. He also sports a goatee which he does his best to maintain. Under his left eye is a small scar from a piece of shrapnel that hit him in the aftermath of an explosion. On his right cheek Atlas has burned the number XIII into his skin.


Skills: Atlas is skilled with small firearms though he tries to avoid gunfights as often as he can but has no problem killing when his life is threatened. Atlas’ more infamous skills are his ability to move past his enemies unseen and to break into places he shouldn’t.

Clothing: A tattered leather jacket worn overtop a dirty white t-shirt, a worn faded pair of blue jeans, black hood, and a pair of brown combat boots.

Armor: Recon Armor, Recon Helmet

Weapons: Military Assault Rifle ( http://images1.wikia...sault_rifle.jpg ) ,Desert Eagle .44(engraved with the number XIII), 10mm pistol, 1 frag grenade

Misc: 7 clips of 6.8 millimeter, 2 clips of .44 ammo, 4 clips of 10mm ammo, x5 cram, x2 instamash, x2 pork n’ beans, irradiated water, screwdriver, 7 bobby pins, a pre war coin, and a satchel

Personality: Atlas Riley lives the life of a thief so he wears many faces while in public. When he needs to be he can be charming, charismatic, silent, brutish, psychotic, wise ass, and most importantly likeable. But beneath the masks and facades lies a quiet inward individual who only wishes to see justice served. When Atlas is cornered he remains cool and confident even when the odds are against him. His Achilles heel lies in his sense of responsibility towards his allies. Even as a thief he has created a code which he follows religiously. He loves the number thirteen seeing it

Bio: Atlas was born into a wealthy family that resided in tenpenny tower, one of the few bastions of civilization in the Capitol Wasteland. At a young age he knew the sheltered life of a tower resident wasn’t for him but he knew his parents would never leave for a life in some disheveled settlement. One of the few perks for Atlas was that he received the finest education the wasteland could provide aside from a vault that is. The other perk for him was the pure water which he didn’t take for granted. During his stay in the tower he learned he had exceptional ability as a thief and pickpocket and he used these skills to liven up the boring lifestyle he lived.

When he wasn’t studying or causing mischief he would pay the guards for lessons on how to use small guns. When his father learned of Atlas’ interest he purchased the most expensive gun from a traveling trader that visited the tower on occasion. It was a military grade assault rifle that was said to come from the far west. It was one of the few gifts Atlas appreciated, as he treated the weapon as his prized possession.

As the years passed Atlas yearned more and more to leave the safety of home and wander the wasteland. A short time after Atlas turned eighteen he packed his belongings and disappeared into the dead of night.

After several weeks of hard living and constant attacks Atlas finally realized what his parents tried to shield him from. Atlas found life in the wasteland more realistic then his time in the prison of tenpenny tower. In order to survive Atlas started stealing again mostly from raiders and slavers. On occasion he would be able to rip off a bigger mark like a talon company camp or the brotherhood outcasts. He however held himself to a code never to steal from those less fortunate then him.

Atlas soon became known as “The Black Cat”, a renowned thief who brought misfortune on those he robbed. Atlas then began taking jobs by request helping out wherever he could. Eventually he formed a team that he dubbed “The Assembly of Thieves".

For nearly ten years Atlas’ group pulled off innumerable dangerous heists. Not once did he ever abandon anyone that had fallen behind, his team was unbelievably loyal and held Atlas in high regard. However this arrangement was not to last as Talon Company after a decade long search had found their hideout. The mercenaries launched a mini nuke at the base not wanting to take any chances. The nuke destroyed everything in a 20 mile radius and the base was leveled. Seeing no way to survive the blast the Talon Company vendetta ended.

Atlas’ entire team was killed but since he was off accepting their next job he wasn’t killed. When he did return he was overwhelmed with guilt and sadness for failing to protect them better. With shame and guilt weighing him down Atlas left the Capitol Wasteland so he could gain a new outlook elsewhere. He took a working sea vessel north to the ruins of NYC. On arrival his ship capsized leaving him stranded with the few belongings on his back.

Last Best Hope of Humanity


Name: Alex Sykes
Nickname: Just Alex.
Age: 24
Race: Human, Caucasian.
Gender: Male

Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Very light blue, resembling those of a husky (Although there almost always concealed by his aviators).
Skin Tone: Light tan.

Appearance: Alex is a slender guy, standing at about 6 feet tall. He's built athletically, although not bodybuilder-esque. His hair is straight and medium length, grown to about half way down his neck. His face is clear and clean shaven, with his facial features deeming him an attractive male. He has a small horizontal scar about an inch and a half beneath his right eye, that is about two centimeters long. On the front of his neck, Alex has a tattoo of an owl with it's wings spread, covering nearly the entire front of his neck.

Skills:

- Dexterity: Alex is very proficient and accurate with handguns. He'd been amused with them since he was a child. Such a small thing that can end one's life with a squeeze of the trigger. He'd used pistols as his primary weapons for nearly every journey he'd embark upon, and with each shot he became more and more skilled and precise. If you hand Alex an M9 and lead him into a battlefield, you're in for some high quality entertainment. That is, if you consider a bloody mess and brains splattered against the concrete, 'entertainment'.

-Agility: From the day Alex was old enough to run, that's about all he did. Running provided Alex with an adrenaline rush that could fuel his entire day. All day, he'd run, jump and dive across rooftops just to challenge himself. He found satisfaction like no other in free-running and parkour, and he did it nearly every day. To this day he still does, maybe more than ever. Having perfected this very useful skill, and turning it into a hobby, had definitely benefited Alex through his many journeys. This hobby is just one extra skill that gives Alex the upper hand on his opponents.

Clothing:
- A black and white plaid button-up flannel shirt, with the sleeves usually rolled halfway up his forearms. http://yfrog.com/17flannelblackwhitej
- A pair of black, faded skinny jeans. http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9697/superslimfit.png
- A pair of grey, tattered Chuck Taylor's converse.
- A black band around his left wrist.
- A pair of Aviators. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s-Ai1HXfg68/SPip7BZdJJI/AAAAAAAAAOE/GgG2sIIalkg/s1600/800px-RayBanAviator.jpg

Weapons:
- Two M9 Berettas. http://xbradtc.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/m9-pistolet.jpg
- A crowbar.

Personality: Alex is a friendly guy, welcoming new friends with open arms, whilst still staying cautious of who he puts his trust in. He can rarely be taken seriously, as he's almost always joking around and trying to lighten the mood. Alex values friendship over most everything, and stays true to his word no matter the cost. He's definitely a good friend to have in any situation.

Bio: Alex was raised in the Capitol Wasteland by his father alone. His mother had left when he was very young, as she wasn't mature, sensible or responsible enough to care for a child. However, his father was a whole different story. His father, Mark, loved Alex more than anything in the world, and raised him as best as any other truly caring father would. As Alex grew older, his relationship with his father grew stronger. He and his father held a bond that couldn't be broken.

As soon as Alex was old enough to fight, he tagged along with father on every trip he took, and as Alex matured, the two were the best of friends, and had so much in common that they'd always have something to talk about on their journeys together. However, this all changed in one night.

Alex and his father had been trekking to a certain location to grab some equipment, when a high-pitched beeping subtly echoed through the nighttime air, followed by a horrifying explosion that tore Alex's father to pieces. Alex was left with a small scar beneath his right eye from the shrapnel of the explosion, and a mental scar that would never heal.

5 years later, Alex decided to leave the horrors of the Capitol Wastes behind, and hitched a ride on a boat to Manhattan. He had no idea what he was getting himself into.





Zanforz

Name: Sean Jacobs
Nickname: none, just Sean
Age: 26
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Hair color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Skin Tone: light Caucasian. Not pale, but not much of a tan.

Appearance: Stands at a little under six feet tall, with a bit of a strong, but not big or all that muscular, build. some small, almost unnoticeable scars throughout his arms from playing with fire and falling from things. His face is usually somewhat gaunt, his cheekbones being a little higher than average while his cheeks are a little sunken. His face usually has a bit of a rough-ish look to it, having always been too lazy too shave at times, causing a light beard/mustache

Skills:

Loves to climb on anything. If there's a way over it, he'll /try/ to find it. He had always ignored easier paths, and sometimes more sensible ones, if it meant that there was another was to it by climbing something or trying to get around it. It started when he was relatively young, and grew up around old, abandoned buildings. He and his friends often enjoyed climbing the remains of uninhabited buildings and large piles of vertical-stacked rubble. He gained most of his strength by climbing on various things throughout his childhood.

Likes to use semi-auto or bolt action rifles. He was never a particularly good marksmen, but he could use a rifle decently when it mattered. Never cared for fully automatic guns, seeing as how he thought they were too inaccurate and hard to control. He's become quick with a bolt on a rifle prefers scopes to his weapons, but can deal without them if need be. When going on food hunts, he always came back with a decent amount, whether it be mole rats, or some canned food he had taken from raiders that he had taken out with his rifle from a "safe" distance away.



Clothing:
-A dark green T-shirt.
-Some, dirty, blue jeans.
-A pair of hiking boots that are torn in some places and frayed near the stitching..
-An old, steel colored, anolog watch that he's found and gotten to work.
-a pair of black, goggle style sunglasses http://aosafetyglasses.com/images/g-burgundy.jpg

Armor:
-Just an old kevlar vest he found form a raider attack. http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/willy-peter_schaub/WindowsLiveWriter/OnthesideKevlar_9061/covert_vest_kevlar_2.jpg it won't be in the best of conditions, seeing as how it already got shot at and is quite old.

Weapons: A Remington Model 700 http://www.coyotecanada.ca/remington_700_223_I.jpg with a detachable scope, and a Colt .45 sidearm http://www.guns.co.nz/images/products/air_pistols/kwc/colt45.jpg

Personality: Loves to talk, but hates to start conversations. Sean is somewhat shy and doesn't like to start a conversation often, though can hold one if started for a while. He's a bit of a pessimist when it comes to grim or difficult situations that he can't think of a way out of within a short period of time. Has a slight phobia of spiders, and a major one of being in small/dark areas svck as caves or abandoned buildings at night. Has a passion for heights however. He gets a bit of a rush from a high place, and is never afraid to go a little higher. Doesn't often make friends, but when he does, values them over almost all else, excluding his family. He's also a bit lazy, trying to stay out of work in the first place, but gets the job done if he has to. Doesn't really start fires, but if there is one, likes to marvel at it. To him, fire has always been like an ever-hungry creature, consuming all that it touched.

Bio: Raised in a small settlement West of New Orleans, Louisiana. He had a full family, (a Mother and Father, an older sister and a little brother) and trained with his father alot with shooting at targets. He often went out to hunt for food and supplies with his father and sister while his mother and brother stayed home. He developed a strong relationship with his father and may had well have had been attached to his older sister. He mostly just used old .22 hunting rifles his dad had found for him on hunts to shoot with. Even when he was old enough to fight, if a raider gang came, he was ordered to stay inside with his Mom and Brother in case anything happened.

He was forced to re-locate much further North after a gang of local raiders attacked at night, killing most of the settlements inhabitants, including his father and older sister. As usual he had been told to stay inside while his Dad fought alongside his sister. Since Sean's old rifle had broken, his dad gave him a .45 colt pistol that he kept. When he heard a scream of terror arise from outside that sounded like his father, he rushed outside without thinking. His dad was holding his sister, her holding her chest as blood began pouring out. He took out his sidearm and shot the first raider he saw, but not before it got a shot to finish off his sister. His father, now overcome with rage, had charged into the battle, using an M16A2 to spray at the gang, not thinking about whether or not he would survive. His Remmington 700 was left behind, and Sean quickly grabbed it and ran back inside, tears streaming down his face. He took his Mother and little brother with him after he had grabbed some valuables and set off the next day.

They'd lived in the capital wasteland, in rivet city, for a while, until Sean left them. Not without their permission though, by now his little brother was old enough to work and support himself and his mom. He noticed a boat to Manhattan and thought of what he could get out of it. Taking only some clothes, his father rifle, and his sidearm, he set out.




Muffin Man 118


Name: Jarvis Whittaker
Nickname: Old Man Jarvis
Age: 64
Height: 5'4
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Hair color: Grey
Eye Color: Hazel
Skin Tone: Normal, although grey-ish age

Appearance: Elderly, weathered skin with wrinkles, crows feet. The usual geriatric stuff. Wiry grey hair that just gets cut as far up as his arms can reach. Hunched, not particularly strong looking, but with that elderly wiriness. One eye is constantly squinting. Imagine your traditional prospector (in case you hadn't quite worked that out yet). An unkempt grey beard stretching down and only gets cut as low as his arms can reach (around the belly).

Skills: Not a particularly good shot, usually ends up hitting anything other than what he's aiming at. Has two sets of glasses for long and short range sight, althought they're rarely used (no bifocals in the apocalypse, who knew eh?). Has an uncanny knack for surviving in otherwise hostile situations, whether through the experience of the aged (probably not) or sheer luck (more likely) it's not certain. Has an iron constitution and can drink anything with a sharp taste and still believe it's whiskey.

Clothing: Dirty (not sure if that really needs to be said in the context) stetson with a frayed edge in some places, missing parts from the edge and just general damage/dents. Attached to the side of the stetson is a silver bullet for good luck (really just a regular bullet with a silver effect finish - bloody traders). Flannel shirts of various colours, although all following the same tartan pattern. All of which with rolled up sleeves. Denim trousers with a pair of old leather braces - onto which are loops to hold shotgun shells. Generic leather boots with various cloths wrapped around the top.

Armor: Hip flask.

Weapons: Old, worn double-barreled shotgun. Lacks accuracy, style and manouvreability. Makes up for this with stoic reliability and the added use as a walking stick.

Personality: Naturally cautious of people he doesn't know, forgetful of those he does. He has no drinking problem, it's a drinking solution. Holds an ambient naivety about the true danger of the wasteland. Thinks "Radiation" is a crackpot idea made up to stop good folk like himself from living in the nicer places (where the grass is always greener, at night). His reasoning concerning danger is if he can't see it then it's probably either too far away to worry about or too close to start worrying about.

Bio: "Oh you wanna hear the tale of how Ol' man Jarvis came to be eh? Well you can stick it! I been places, places you ain't even heard of. Yeah that's right. You ever been to Washlington? Lovely place, so long as you're looking at the inside of a barricaded door.

What's that? Oh I don't know! I guess maybe 20, 30 years. Yeah. God's truth it's been 30 odd years since I last slept in my own house. Raiders? No it's them damn Road-roaches. Eh? Rad?... Don't be using that slang near me boy, didn't you get no schoolin'? I just made my way through life 's best a man can out here. Done me a bit of farming, trading, even tried my hand at play-writing once. You ever seen To Kill a Mirelurk? No?! You a damn philistine, s'what you are boy..."


Iain Mc

Name: Iain Scott
Nickname: Scotty
Age: 28
Race: Caucasian
Gender: Male

Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Skin Tone: Rather tanned

Appearance: Solemn look, face quite skinny showing cheekbones. Nose disfigured suggesting that he's broken it a few times. Average height but skinny body, shoulders hunched forward. Hair is cut quite short but is never usually seen due to his headwear. Tattoo on both hand with the letter 'R' written on them.

Skills: Very cautious. Makes sure he has a backup plan and another backup plan. Very good at disappearing, when running from zombies he can trick them by suddenly hiding. Skilled with machete.

Clothing: Black hat, Black biker jacket, black biker trousers. Backpack carrying food, water and medical kit.
Armor: None

Weapons: Machete, Binoculars (I know it's not a weapon, it's just to scout for zombies =P), 3x Molotov Cocktails.

Personality: Very serious person, not in a bad or rude way, the smallest of things disturbs him. Thinks to himself a lot, hides true emotions well. Despite looking very serious he is actually scared of fighting. Helps people but knows when to leave them if things go wrong. Has sickening thoughts sometimes.

Bio: Born and raised by a gang of Raiders, when growing up he grew accustomed to people being tortured and killed. When the Raiders captured a Wastelander one day they ordered Iain to eliminate him, as Iain took the gun and aimed at the innocent man he was stopped dead on his tracks. At that moment he realised that like himself, people had feelings, family and future. How would Iain like to be killed cold-blooded? He wouldn't, and that's why he never pulled the trigger. On that day Iain was beaten to an inch of his life, his once perfect nose had been mishapen after recovery. He was thought of weak and useless.
But Iain's Raider parents did have a heart like any other human being and pleaded that they spare Iain. he was spared but was never asked to kill anyone again. They did however find Iain useful for something: scouting, baiting and then running off to where his gang members were.
Scotty (which they called him now), aged 23 was getting sick of the Raider life, the things that he had seen... Unmentionable.

Iain had never fired a gun, and he never wanted to, so the gang members taught him melee combat. He had a machete and by the age of 27 he was basically an expert with the machete.

At the age of 28 it was time. He had been planning it for years... His escape. On a normal hunting day, Iain was told to do his job, go out and scout for any Wastelander's, persuade them that he had found treasure and lead them to his gang. So he did just that. But never came back...

There was an Island called Manhattan where Iain had decided to run away to, he had all his equipment with him: his machete, 3x Molotov Cocktails, binoculars, water, small medic kit and food. When he arrived at Manhattan however it wasn't quite what he expected, it was mayhem. A virus changed people, a virus like rabies, but 100x worse...

Iain had escaped once however, and he was going to escape again. Whatever the cost...

Greenwich Village


Alex's legs dangled from the roof of a dilapidated apartment building. He looked expressionlessly down onto the crowded streets below that were literally crawling with the undead. They shuffled mindlessly back and forth, shoving each other from side to side, blood leaking from every orifice of their repulsive bodies. Disgusting. Yet, amusing.

Alex's dry, cracked and bloody thumb abraded across the thumbwheel of a neglected lighter, until a meek flame hoisted itself over the brim of the metal contraption. The flame wavered calmly against the black canvas of the midnight sky, which conveyed the meaning of the little flame. A spark of hope. A light in the darkness. One simple item, that can bring a glimmer of faith to the eyes of even the most vile of creatures.

Alex stood still for a moment, staring into the crimson blaze that trembled before him. His eyes widened slightly, and he shook his head briefly, snapping back into reality. He brought his free hand to the grimy turf of the vacant roof he sat upon, his hand wrapping around a glass object beside him. He brought the item to his front, examining every inch of it. With his pre-made Molotov cocktail grasped in the palm of his hands, he brought the small flame to a tattered rag hanging from the neck of the bottle. He blinked a few times beneath his dark aviators, as a blank expression turned to a deviant smirk. He inched the innocent flame a bit closer towards the cracked bottle, until it climbed onto the rag that hung limply, facing the dreadful streets below. Soon enough, the entire rag was crawling with what was once a humble flame, until the base of the bottle began to warm. Alex held the burning apparatus before him, his clenched fist ready to relax at any moment.

"Bombs away."

The flaming bottle hurtled towards the ground below, patiently waiting for its own end.

The bottle connected with the corpse cluttered concrete below, releasing a crack that echoed through the air, and a reassuring roar as the small flame spread into an uncontrollable wildfire.

Alex rose to his feet, leaning over only to stare with sheer satisfaction down onto the scorching streets below. Dull moans of agony and terror flooded into Alex's ears, as the horror below reflected off of his aviators. He slowly turned around, reluctantly abandoning the gruesome entertainment that lied below. He slowly stepped off the edge of the once inhabited apartment that he previously stood upon, dropping into the darkness below.

Lower Manhattan, Boardwalk


Night was all around, the boardwalk silenced with its embrace. Only the stray paper or tin can blowing in the wind made a sound, or the caw of a seagull far off in the bay. On a bench sat the decaying remains of a half-eaten person. Literally half-eaten, only what was below the waist sat on the bench. Down a dark alley sat ragged man, donned with full combat armor, and armed to the teeth. His pursuers had lost him, but they still searched, and he knew it. Their moans and screams could be heard down the boardwalk, each time making David McAnton a bit more nervous. The weathered mercenary clutched his rifle, bullet in the chamber, he quietly got up from his crouching position and began to move towards a rusty old fire escape.

It was only the sound of a glass bottle crunching beneath his feet that spurred David, and his pursuers, into a full blown sprint. He only took one look behind him to know that he had to move. Down the dark alley he sped, grunting with each footfall, the weight of his armor bearing down on his shoulders and legs. Soon he reached the main streets. One look back showed an alley bathed in moonlight, numerous moving and fleeting shadows accompanied by haunting screams and moans. David took off down the street, he didn't want to fire his gun yet, he didn't want to attract more of these things. These... zombies. They weren't like the ghouls back in the wasteland, they looked somewhat human.

Soon, David saw salvation. An open building, what looked like a police building in fact, was slightly boarded off but it looked like it could be fortified. More shadows were seen down the street, more of the zombies were coming.

"[censored] this!" Yelled David. He raised his rifle, turned around, and began firing. He aimed as best he could in the moonlight, his gun-light giving only a little illumination. He saw maybe 5 zombies drop to the ground, but they began to get back up. David quickly began running once more. Arriving at the doors to the police building, David slammed opened the doors, jumped inside, then closed them. He set his gun against a wall, turning on another flashlight he kept on his belt, he soon found several things he could use to barricade the doors.

After it was deemed safe, David slouched against a wall. He took a breath, and prepared for a long night.

OOC: I'm in the SWAT building.

Lower Manhattan, overlooking Brooklyn

Jason had just got off the boat to Manhattan a couple hours and darkness overshadowed Manhattan for it was midnight, but during those hours he found why people haven’t been responding on the radio when they entered the port. The boat ran out of fuel when they entered the port and needed to find fuel so the members of the group went to find fuel, but they were some kind of monsters that looked human but… they seemed like they were already dead. Jason kept thinking and thinking about how this disaster could happen when he heard a moan right behind him.

Jason turned to the murmur and found a figure in the darkness; it walked like a drunken man coming out of a bar. When it got closer the being showed its face, its mouth has foaming and its eyes were red as blood. The creature lunged for Jason but because it was slow he dodged it with ease. Jason took out his colt M1919 and shot the thing in its shoulders, it seemed to only make it madder. It lunged again but before it could lay a hit Jason raised his bowie knife and made a swift slash to its neck. The blood gushed like a fountain of water. Jason made one kick to the head and it fell off and fell to the ground.

Tribeca, Docks

Reman Hunter had made his way to Manhattan by way of a floating hunk raft of scrap, whatever he could find to put together, just as he got to the Dock it began sinking, lucky for him, he was able to get off before it sunk into the Irradiated water beneath him. It only took a few steps into the dock area to tell something was wrong, fresh blood was spread about, he drew his Chinese Assault Rifle. He continued on and found what appeared to be a freshly dead body. But something was different about it, there were bite marks, busted veins, but suddenly, it began to twitch, foam began coming out of the mouth and what he thought was a corpse began to come to life.

Reman was at a distance from the person, or was it a person?

"Easy now." Reman spoke calmly, aiming his weapon, finger on the trigger

Then it lunged at him, with a growl, but he was ready for that, a burst of heavy hitting Chinese pre war rounds, and it fell dead to the ground. The weapon was noticeably louder than other Assault Rifles, the sound echoing off nearby buildings, those in nearby districts might be able to hear it. Then all was quiet, he observed the body, and clearly it wasn't a man, at least not anymore. It wasn't a Feral Ghoul, he had experience with those, it was something else.

"Seems like a Zombie to me." He mumbled, spitting on the Corpse

Reman decided to make his way south. But, before he could walk away easily, he heard more of them, there were at least a dozen of them, likely more, coming at a jogging pace. They were Zombies, he knew it for certain now, just like the one he killed. He left quickly, running, the Tribeca docks were bordering Lower Manhattan, he wouldn't have to go too far, he was already on the Southern part of the Island.

He let off a few rounds into the crowd, a couple of them went down, one of them got back up. He shot around a corner into an alley, right into a chain-link fence. He crawled up it and off to the other side, perhaps he could lose them. Just as he exited the alley, they came around the corner, and were blocked by the fence line. Reman Hunter didn't stick around to see what happened.

Lower Manhattan


A few miles and a couple clips later, Alex found himself walking down the center of a weathered Lower Manhattan street. Pistol in hand, he cautiously, yet calmly, checked his surroundings, slowly rebuilding a sense of isolation. The streets were eerily quiet, and unusually desolate. He hadn't seen a single corpse since he entered this part of the city. He decided to take a breather in the reassuring illumination of a flickering streetlight. As he began to lean against the cold metal post of the streetlight, he felt something wet slowly soak through his flannel. He leaned forward quickly, whipping around in one quick motion. His startled expression slowly changed to look of disgust. An abnormal amount of blood painted the middle of the lightpost, along with the mangled remains of one's intestines, tied around the base of it.

"Cozy." He laughed sarcastically.

He began to sit down beside the morbid streetlight, as several rifle shots rang through the starry night. Alex's eyes widened. He looked forward, seeing an enormous horde of the undead charging into the side of a broken down Police Station not far down the road. Without saying a word he slowly moved forward, shocked by the sheer mass of the swarm. Obviously they were trying to get to someone. He felt confident, so he figured he'd go for it.

Alex raised his M9 towards the crowd, and unloaded a single round into it, seeing one drop to the ground, knocking over a few others. Immediately, each head in the fleet of shuffling psychopaths turned to stare at Alex, who in turn shot back the same stare. After a moment of silence, and a few twitches from the downed flesh-eater, the entire mob began to advance toward Alex, the few more capable of the bunch moving at a full blown sprint.

"[censored], since when can they do that?" Alex said to himself as he ran to the sidewalk, where a tall row of buildings towered out of the ground.

He ran up the side of the brick wall, before he lunged for a window sill, which he latched onto, pulling himself upwards, and quickly advancing towards the top of the building. A few jumps and lunges later, he found himself standing on the cement roof of the rowhome he'd decided to climb. He looked over the edge, seeing the mindless idiots failing to climb the structure. The few who actually managed to climb somewhat far, just slipped and fell to their deaths. Alex leaned back up and began to run across the rooftops towards the police station, leaping over ledges and rolling over rooftops. He skid to a stop when he saw the line of buildings end. Conveniently, the Police station was right in front of him. So he climbed back down the face of the building he now stood upon, until he was at a safe distance to hop down to the streets below. He landed gracefully, barely making a sound. Loud moans and groans still flooded through the night as Alex stealthily advanced towards the back door of the building. He knocked first, waiting for the door to open. After all, he didn't want to just traipse through the back door, just to meet another group of zombies, chewing on the remains of the survivor he was praying to find.

Lower Manhattan.

Jason bents down to inspect the body of this undead monster. Looking at the torso Jason could see many bite marks that looked like they were swollen, that must be the way these things infect the living. The zombies skin was gray and decaying, looking at its head that was just a few centimeters away from its body Jason could see a bite mark on its forehead plus skin was missing which exposed the skull. Jason stood up and could hear a low murmur of moaning behind him, he looked over his shoulder to see at least ten infected that looked like they were starring into space. Jason began to breathe heavily and was panicking not knowing when they will strike, in a flash a zombie started to make a angry facial expression and make a loud cry which alerted the others to attack. Jason ran in the other direction as fast as he could.


(I’m going to introduce a new infected)

He ran into the street to hear gunshots that sounded like a assault rifle and a pistol. But Jason couldn’t dilly-dally any longer he needed to escape the infected behind him. While running down a street Jason saw a frightening sight, there was a huge monster a couple yards away it was a super mutant but different. Its head was decayed and beaten in, half the skin on the left side of its face was just meat and bone, the beasts body was covered in scars and was even more muscular than a regular super mutant even though it was a normal super mutant. He could tell because it had the same attire as a normal one. The Infected super mutant roared like a deathclaw and charged toward Jason. But Jason dodged the mutant and went running up the street into a ally way. The monster went after him and killed any regular human infected that was in its way.

Jason ran down the ally way like a bat out of hell, with the mutant zombie right behind him. After a few seconds a fire escape was visible and would be his escape. Jason climbed up the fire escape and watched as the monster tried to climb there with him, but thankfully its weight was too much for the fire escape and it collapsed. Jason began laughing and being glad that he was alive but that would not last long, the infected mutant got up and started to yell. Jason noticed that the infected mutant spine was poking out of its skin, he toke out his colt M1919 and made a deep breath and fired three shots. One misted while the other two hit its spine and made the infected collapse, now all it was is a head on a stick, a decayed head on a very big stick. After patting himself on the back Jason walked over to a gargoyle that was conveniently positioned were the beast had collapsed. Jason pushed over the statue and it fell right on the undead mutant crushing its skull.


After Jason was done with that mutant he jumped over some rooftops. While traveling he could see lots of infected at this police department, best bet is there was something in there that could help him. Jason jumped to the roof of the police department and walked into the building. While climbing down the stairway into the main entrance Jason could see a man who barricaded the door to keep infected out. Jason didn’t want to take chances so he put his weapons away and yelled to the other side of the room.

“You ok?” Jason called out.

David rested against the wall, he had taken his M14 and set it against a wall, then he began gathering some kindling for a fire. This took only a minute or so, there were small bits of wood all around him. He stacked small bits of wood and debris into a small pile, then he pulled a match out from behind his ear, how it managed to stay there during the chase he had no idea. Striking the match on the concrete floor, it sparked into life, the scent of sulfur filling his nostrils. It was no sooner that the flame licked the wood that a loud knocking resounded on the door.

Knowing full well what was outside, David whipped his sawed-off from his backpack, a shell already chambered. He ran over to a boarded up window, then peaked outside from between a space in the wood. What he saw gave him a glimmer of hope, it was a slender looking man, clearly not infected. David quickly bolted over to the door and removed a piece of the furniture he used as a barricade. Flinging the door open, David shouted, "Get in here!" As he grabbed the kid by the collar of his black and white flannel shirt, and pulled him into the Police station roughly. As he did, two zombies ran at the door, the were each very close to each other, so David took a chance.

He raised his shotgun with one hand (something he would usually never do) and aimed for their heads, pulling the trigger he let a volley of lead fly. The creatures' heads popped like balloons, brain matter and bits of skull flew behind them, spattering the streets. The bodies simply fell to the ground as David slammed the door shut.

"Listen kid, get some more stuff to throw in front of this door. We can't let these things in." He said to the newcomer, as he pushed a large couch in front of the door, David remembered his place, and his manners.

"Sorry, name's David McAnton. My boat sank in the river, and I've been trapped here for about a day now. My buddy Scott is somewhere near Little Italy by now. So I guess you're stuck here too huh?" But before the guy could answer, a voice piped up from the back of the empty room.

"You ok?" Said the voice. It came from another young man. His face partially obscured by the shadows, but David's pathetic little fire cast a flickering light on him. David's shotgun was lowered now.

"Uhh ya. Listen, help me get this door barricaded, then we can talk. Name's David if you didn't hear me." It soon became apparent to David, that he gratefully wasn't alone in this god-awful nightmare.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from within the building. Alex's fingers clenched his pistol tighter. Just then, the door flung open revealing a weathered looking man, probably in his late 30's. Before Alex had a second to think, the man's hand was wrapped around his collar, and he was being yanked through the door.

"Get in here!" The man half-shouted.

Alex could see the man's eyes begin to widen as he was yanked through the doorway. The man's opposing hand began to raise, when Alex noticed that he was sporting a mean looking sawed-off shotgun.

[censored].

As the man's hand straightened out, a roaring burst fired from the barrel of the shotgun. Alex winced. Immediately after the shotgun blast, Alex felt something splatter onto the back of his neck. He whipped around quickly enough to see two headless corpses topple over, their limp lifeless bodies pounding onto the blood-stained asphalt. The door slammed in front of him, the corner of it nearly smacking him across the face.

"Listen kid, get some more stuff to throw in front of this door. We can't let these things in." The man ordered in a stern tone, as he pushed a grimy, cushionless couch in front of the door.

Alex nodded. He hurriedly walked towards a large, beat-up desk as he wiped the blood of the two headless zombies off of the back of his neck. He pushed it towards the door, adding it to the barricade.

"Sorry, name's David McAnton. My boat sank in the river, and I've been trapped here for about a day now. My buddy Scott is somewhere near Little Italy by now. So I guess you're stuck here too huh?" David added.

"You ok?" Another voice rang out from the other side of the building.

Looked like Alex had hit the jackpot on buddies tonight.

"Uhh ya. Listen, help me get this door barricaded, then we can talk. Name's David if you didn't hear me." David said to the other man now joining their ranks.

Alex grabbed another piece of furniture and pushed it in front of the door.

"Name's Alex Sykes, I've been here for 4 days now." Alex answered, as he retreated towards the back of the room to grab another object for the barricade.

Lower Manhattan

Six hours ago.......

A boat with five people in it arrived at the docks located near lower Manhattan, the five people got off the boat, all of them armed with weapons. One of the men turned to the older looking one, "Hey Bill, why are we here again?".
"You do not remember? Jesus! We are here to meet up with a man I did business with once, do you not listen?" Bill replied with anger.
"Yeah I know that but why are we meeting him? What does he have for us that is so important?" The man asked again.
"You will find out soon enough now shut up!"
The group started to walk through the streets of Manhattan, they had not seen anybody, it was strange, it was almost as if it was a Ghost Town.

"Umm, Bill I have not seen anybody since we got here? What the [censored] is going on?"
"I do not know? This part of Manhattan is usually filled with people, something does not feel right, we need to get back to the boat, I am calling this mission off!" Bill said with a tone of worry in his voice.
"Fine with me, the sooner we are out of this piece of [censored] place the better!"
The group turned around and began to head back to the group, while returning they noticed two people crouched over in the distance.

"What the hell are they doing?"
"I do not know, but I say we find out"
The group walked to wards the two figures in the distance, when they got close the two figures turned around, the group could see blood coming from there mouth/

"What the [censored]!! OPEN FIRE!"
The group opened fire on the two people, within a few seconds they were both dead. The group approached the dead bodies, after looking at them they came to the conclusion that those were not humans. Immediately the group returned to the boat, only to find out that they were out of fuel.

Present Time


Andrew was crouched down beside a Zombie he had just finished killing, he continued to observe the thing, it was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Andrew stood back up again, he continued to walk through the streets, he needed fuel for the boat to get back to the Capital Wasteland, his group depended on it. He had came here with his team of Mercenaries that consisted of four people, Bill, Lucy, Robert, and Jacob. Bill was the boss of the group, though everyone else hated him. And at the moment Andrew despised him, Bill had sent him out into Manhattan by himself refusing to let any of the other group come with him as it would be to risky. He had sent Andrew all alone it a city that was filled with Zombies to get some fuel. Andrew was wishing that Manhattan would of been the same as it used to be at the moment.

Soon enough Andrew had come across a Gas Station, Ha! Finally I get a break, man this is alto easier then I thought it would be!. Andrew entered the Station and began to search for Gas, after about ten minutes of searching he realized nothing was in the Station and that it would not be as easy to get this stuff as he would of liked it to be. Andrew left the Gas Station and continued his search, maybe there were some other survivors on the island that had some fuel.

Andrew continued his search checking the stores as he walked by them and taking out the few Zombies he saw, allot of them were alone which made it easy to take them out, Andrew was hoping that he would not run into a group of them, or he would be in trouble. Soon his search brought him to allot of Zombies all outside of a SWAT Building, immediately after seeing the Zombies he heard gunshots. Andrew got to cover but then realized that the gunshots must of been from another human, he assumed the other survivor was in the building. The Zombies seemed to have there attentions caught on getting into the SWAT building which let Andrew get to the other side of the building. On the back of the building was a ladder, Andrew claimed up it and saw another man on the roof, he saw the man enter the building through an entrance that was on the roof. Andrew followed with his SCAR-H in hand. Andrew got into the building and followed the man it brought him to another man, there were two survivors.

"Um, hey do you guys have any fuel?" Andrew asked, he was almost positive the men were not aware of his presence in the building.

Lower Manhattan

Reman had lost the Zombies in the alleyway thanks to the Fence blocking their path, they never managed to get over or threw the fence. He had continued on, surprisingly not running into any Zombies for awhile. Perhaps they were being lured elsewhere? He had finally reached Lower Manhattan, when he heard distant gunfire, no doubt, there were others who were uninfected on the Island.

He decided to head toward where it had come from, but since he had just entered the section of the city, and it's source was deeper in, it would take him a little while to get there. In the meantime, he focused on a strategy of aversion and avoidance. If necessary he would kill Zombie's, but preferably he would sneak past them or go around so that he remained undetected.

He had managed to get by several packs of them this way, and managed to get many blocks inside the district doing this. Deciding to get a vantage point, he sought higher ground, lucky for him there was an Apartment complex overlooking the area at large. He went into the alley, and his luck run out. A lone Zombie stumbled toward him, not wanting to attract others he drew his Combat Knife. It lunged at him, he sidestepped, and as it turned toward him, he lunged at it.

His knife connected, slitting it's throat, and it fell dead to the ground, he put his knife away, his silent kill had kept other zombies away. He crawled himself up, finally reaching the roof. He took a look around, going to each side of the complex, and then he saw it. Across the district, but not very far, was what looked like an old Police Station of some sort, and a large crowd of Zombies, at least in the dozens, were at the entrance like they wanted in.

"People must be in there." He whispered

That must be where he heard the gunfire from, so that's where Reman was going, something was terribly wrong here, everyone he had seen up to this point were Zombies. Unfortunately, there was no way he would be able to sneak past the Zombies. He would have to move quickly, shoot straight, and find a way in. He was thinking the rear of the building, like a garage door, where the police parked their squad cars before the war. Reman prepared himself, taking a quick drink, and grabbing his rifle...

OOC: My sheet has been accepted by Jonas, my sheet should be posted up on this topic soon.

Tribeca

The smell... What is it again... Blood?

It was the air that gave it away... And probably the dead guy that was at Iain's feet. He knelt down to examine the corpse, the man had a large chunk torn out from his neck, blood bathed his entire neck. Iain was used to seeing corpses however, but was that a good thing?

Before arriving at Manhattan, Iain Scott was a Raider, well was born in a family of Raiders, he wasn't proud of it. Killing wasn't his enjoyment, not like any normal Raider (normal?). However, they trained him to use melee weapons and after years of practice Iain had become an expert with a Machete. At the age of 28 (his age now) Iain decided to leave his family and escape to a peaceful environment. So why not Manhattan?

A perfect idea at the time yes, but when he seen that corpse it was a little strange and when the corpse rose it was even stranger...

The dead guy slowly got to his feet, fresh blood seeped out from his neck, blood drooled from his mouth, eyes were bloodshot... Iain was scared out of his mind, the man seemed hostile, he didn't attack but Iain knew something was wrong about him. The moan that the man cried maybe, it was spine chilling.
Slipping his machete out from his belt Iain feebly ordered, "G-G-Get b-back!"
Fighting scared Iain, he'd do anything to avoid a fight, he had seen so many fights but now it was the real thing. Just as he figured, the dead man was hostile and he started to walk towards Iain like a drunken nut.
With his machete in both hands Iain waited until the dead man reached killing range. When killing was in range an adrenaline rush got Iain to do something he'd always repulsed on doing. Killing.

Side-stepping the sudden speed of the man was simple, he was clumsy, that was one weak point. While the dead man was facing with his back towards him, Iain quickly jabbed his machete forward in a stabbing motion and pierced the man through his back. A bone sounded as if it had been ripped apart, it sounded like the spine. The man fell to the ground, paralysed, but he still tried to... Bite Iain. Still having the adrenaline rush and no mercy, he hacked his machete downwards to the zombies bare neck. The head sliced off easily, making Iain feel like a king!
Such a rush he had felt like never before! But in a few seconds it wore off and Iain fretted like a little girl.

Jesus, I just killed someone! I'm a horrible person! I better go tell somebody about this!

So Iain dashed down the streets to tell the civilians about the extraordinary sight he had witnessed. But after a few minutes it was a silly idea, for what was going on in Manhattan was pretty similar to the dead man Iain had killed.
The dead were returning to life...

Soho

Atlas peered out into the night at the horde of infected massing in the streets below. Knowing he couldn’t sit in the apartment all night Atlas gathered his gear and made his way down the stairs to escape out the back door. He had only been in the city for a few days and he hated every second that he was trapped here.

Atlas had come to get away from the turmoil of the capitol wasteland and to find some sense of peace so he could go back and deal with his demons. He traveled down the ruined stairs a pair at a time while never removing his right hand from his 10mm. When Atlas reached the ground floor, he slowly walked towards the back door and took a peek into the veil of darkness.

Not sighting any infected he quickly stole into the night to find new shelter and perhaps a way to escape the cities confines. As he walked he kept an eye out for any distinctive landmarks or road signs that he could make out. He made sure to keep his eyes peeled for even the slightest hint of movement. Atlas had been traveling for at least half an hour along the crumbling sidewalk with his only indicator of direction being a sign that read Canol Street. He pressed onward not knowing what dangers lay ahead for him.

OOC: hircine you need to post your location also!

"Uhh ya. Listen, help me get this door barricaded, then we can talk. Name's David if you didn't hear me."

"Cool, names Jason. I will try to find a generater and get it going" Jason responded

He walked down the stairs but heard a faint voice behind him.

"Um, hey do you guys have any fuel?"

Jason took his M1911 from his pocket and aimed right behind him. It was a man with a man in mercenary attire and armed with a chinsese assault rifle. After he knew it wasnt a infected Jason lowered his pistol.

"Fuel, FUEL!? Incase you didnt notice there are [censored] zombies outside that want to eat or friken brains." Jason yelled but he calmed himself" Sorry, look the first thing we need right now is a working generator to get power in here so follow me. By the way the names Jason"

Jason looked around the entrance and through the darkness could see a small door, he ran over and opened it up to find a desending stair way. Thinking that this must be the basemant area ad a good chance of generators. He walked down the dark stairs being very careful not to get bitten by a infected hidding down there. After a few more stairs jason was at the bottom and to his luck found a flash light, Jason turned it on and like a gift from god two generators were set up side to side. Jason walked to them and examined them, the gas tank was at full and all the levers were at the ON setting. The only problem was both of the generators motors werent screwed in properly. Jason took some tools from his pocket and got to work, in no time the generator were screaming like banshes and the lights turned on. Jason got up and started to make a big grin. He turned to his left and was terrified that a zombie was right there growling at him. Jason quickly drew his pistol and shot the infected four times in the chest and it fell back on its ass. He cusiously walked toward it and looked at the zombies head, its head poped up and made a loud grunt. Jason shot the infected in the head killing it.

"Double tap... [censored]" He said" Damn I need a new gun, somthing that would... holy [censored]!" jason yelled

Were he was looking there was a sign that said armory.

Jason ran in to see just empty tables that were dusty as hell.

"Well damn, atleast we have power"said Jason

Just then the power and lights went off in a flash.

"I hate this place" Jason added

Jason walked up the stairs back to the main entrance, David manaiged to make a fire in the room, that suited Jason just fine.

OOC: Okay, the post was edited.

AND NO ONE ELSE IS COMING TO THE SWAT BUILDING. It was planned that it would be just me going in but everyone else began following me.

IC:

David was now sitting down, his backpack propped against a wall, a small fire containing meager amounts of rotted wood and bits of scrap cloth also burned in front of him. The weathered mercenary sat with his rifle on his lap, he was unscrewing the rail-mounted grip on the front, as well as the tactical butt-stock. He reached into his backpack and pulled out the original rifle stock to the M14. bringing it up to the stockless gun and snapping it in, then securing it with the screws and some tape.

Pleased with his work, David tossed the extra pieces aside, proffering this version of his rifle, a classic with no pistol grip. He then turned his attention back to the fire, pulling a can of Pork & Beans from his pack and setting it in near the flames to heat up. The moans of the undead outside the doors was beginning to unnerve David, he was however confident that the barricade would hold.

The kid in the back had said he was going down to fix the generators, What? The things are probably shot by now? David mused in his mind. But whatever, if he wanted to keep busy, why not? As long as people were doing something that decreased the risk of someone doing something stupid. David got to his feet, setting his M14 against a wall, and picking up his sawed-off. He cocked it, making sure a shell was in the chamber.

Walking around the room he saw something strange, under a table was what looked like a furry rug, but it was moving? David took his foot and nudged the strange entity. Suddenly, the head of a German Shepard popped up, looking blankly at the combat armored David.

"Hey there boy. You don't wanna hurt me do you?" David said, the dog simply whined in reply. David knelt down, and began scratching the dog's chest and neck, moving up to his furry ears. " 'At a boy." He said fondly.

"Hey... Uh... Alex! There's a friendly dog over here."

OOC: Hmm. That's a bit unfair, don't you think ringman? I mean, its been well over 150 years since the bombs dropped, and we're in a New York Police/SWAT Station. You really think there'd be a full armory in the basemant. You don't think by now it'd be totally picked clean? Also, the generator would be totally [censored]. Lets just keep this simple ringman, my character barely managed to get a fire going. How the [censored] did you get two 200 year old generators working within a few minutes. Because of this, I will ignore that for now.


OOC:Well maybe because new york was being rebuilt, I mean the building could have been inhabited before man by people before this infection hit!

OOC:

There is no (or very little) roof jumping in lower Manhattan, unless your character has the world record for a vertical jump. See picture: http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/USA/Cities/LowerManhattanFromNj.jpg

http://www.mrfs.net/trips/2001/New_York_City/Lower_Manhattan/lower_manhattan.jpg

I've actually been to Manhattan. So, yea...

It WOULD be possible in some of the small apartment areas.

Also, Jonas wants to point out something Ringman. The weapon room would be picked clean by now, and the generator is screwed. So, Jonas says call off your post, and I really do agree with him.

IC:

Aaron Young, Lower Manhattan, SWAT Building

A slight growl accompanied the thin, dusty air. The utility closet was long, narrow, and dark. Darkness, what a pleasure; a cracked light bulb hung on the ceiling, boxes and all sorts of random cleaning tools sat on large metal shelves with gave both the east and west walls company. A small metal box sat drifted in the back of the closet, nailed to the wall with its fine pre-war sternness. Aaron sat there, back propped up against the wall, eyes shut and all. His hair was shaggy; his rifle set up by his side. He started to wake as he felt the furry lump which sat beneath his left arm move, but his eyes carefully drifted back to sleep. He wasn't awakened by the vibrating above him, or the voices ringing in the sky. He slowly drifted back to sleep as the door drifted open, and the furry lump made its way out, sniffing around before finding its place under a table.

Then he woke up.

Bang!

A large metallic noise broke the dust in the air, and the hairs on his skin stood up. Eyelids shot open, ears came up, and his right hand grabbed the rifle tightly. First, his hand shot up from its position, pointing the gun in front of him. He listened for any of the usual moaning sounds, but that wasn't what he heard.

"Hey... Uh... Alex! There's a friendly dog over here."

He squatted up in a crouch position, slowly sneaking his way out of the utility closet, gun aimed in front of him. He didn't see zombies; instead, he saw a heavily armored man standing over Attila, who first looked confused, but didn't seem to mind the man. Alex put his body into a standing position, flicking on his weapon-tied flashlight. Light shot onto the man and Attila, the latter of which trotted over to his master. Aaron set his rifle against his shoulder, lessening his grip a bit, but still ready to shoot at anything that was hostile to him. He wasn't going to trust everyone he saw, even if most of everyone was a zombie; though, one could consider them to be monsters, rather than actual human beings. Aaron loosened his voice to a casual tone.

"What's your business here?"

Lower Manhattan - SWAT Building.


Alex turned his head to the side, seeing David knelt down, petting a confused canine under a recked table. He smirked a bit.

"Hey, boy." He said, noticing the dog's male... 'features'.

He'd heard from another man he'd met in the four days he'd been trapped on the island, that the zombies didn't seem to attack animals unprovoked. He raised an eyebrow, pondering his thoughts. That dog could prove useful.

He slid his finger across the dusty cement floor he was sitting on, making pointless designs with the dust. His head perked up as he heard a shuffling noise coming from another room. He slowly rose to his feet, he brought his finger to his lips, looking at David, signalling him to quiet down. He stepped forward hesitantly, hearing the slow shuffling becoming notably louder. Without warning, a bright light shone out of the room Alex had been converging towards, the light shining directly onto Alex's aviators, which provided a small bit of protection from the subtle change of illumination in the room. Alex's head jerked back as he saw a man emerge from the darkness, wielding a strong looking assault rifle.

"What's your business here?" The man asked in a demanding tone.

"Just trying to take our brains off the menu." Alex responded, smirking a bit. "You?" He shot back with one eyebrow raised.

OOC: Okay, that's enough OOC's.

IC:

It was only after a few seconds of petting the passive canine, that a fourth newcomer seemed to come out of nowhere. He came from the security closet that David hadn't bothered to check when he arrived. He was shining a light from some rifle, and he seemed to be wearing SWAT gear that was obviously picked from the police station itself. It also seemed that the lights were being bat [censored] crazy because they were on one moment and then they crapped out the next. What is this, the fun house from hell? David asked himself.

"What's your business here?" Asked the man. The first to answer was the kid named Alex, "Just trying to take our brains off the menu. You?" Alex shot back to the man, his answer making David chuckle. David stood up as the dog slouched over to his apparent master.

"What he said," David replied, "I came in first, then he showed up so I pulled him in. There are two other guys who came in somewhere, hell if I know." David explained. "Uhh, I got a fire going, and I have some food. The doors are barricaded so I think we're safe for now. Anyways, names' David. Been stuck here or awhile. What's going on in this hell hole?" David's sawed-off was still with him, in his right hand as he tapped it against leg. He walked back over to the fire which now cast an eerie glow about the room, enhanced only by the moaning outside.

David used his crowbar which he had taken from his backpack, to fish the Pork & Beans from the fire. He had a little knife with him which he used to open the can, now kneeling down, he took a bite. It was warm, and it was damn good. He waited for his new acquaintance to respond.

OOC-Wow, what a way to throw a monkey wrench into what I had been working on. So be it though. You know, it does seem sort of bizarre that everyone just shows up in the building, I see what you mean.

Lower Manhattan, near SWAT building

Reman Hunter was just getting ready to make his rush toward the Police Station when more Zombies arrived, probably doubling the number of them near the entrance. They apparently had noticed the commotion from the others. Additionally, a pack of them was heading towards his position down the road, their backs turned toward the police station entrance. There was little to no chance he could make it there now, there had to be people inside, but he would be damned if he would become a Zombie just by attempting to get there.

No, he couldn't get there, but he would have to move nonetheless, he stomach growled as he peeked around the corner. And then they saw him, Reman let out a few hurried bursts of fire from his Chinese Assault Rifle. There were about half a dozen coming toward him, a couple of them went down. Some of the rounds impacted the Police Station, it's inhabitants would no doubt notice that, and the loud gunfire, characteristically the sound of a Chinese Assault Rifle.

"At least they will know someone else is alive out there on this damned Island." He thought

Reman let out another final burst of weapons fire as he ran off, that one impacted a Zombie that hit the ground, unfortunately, the hit wasn't fatal. He was leaving Lower Manhattan, retreating from the area, and then finding safe secure shelter were his current priorities, he would need a place to sleep the night. Tribeca, the area he had came from seemed like a good place to go to, there did seem to be less Zombies in that area.
