Intro:
It happened suddenly. Nobody knew where they came from or what was the cause of it. People that acted weirdly and would attack others like animals, biting into their flesh with amazing force. It was something out of a low-budget horror movie: zombie apocalypse - only this time it was real. Those that were bitten died and also turned into these creatures, hunting and eating humans alive. Within three hours, the city was in chaos, and communications with the outside world seemed to have been lost. The residents, the ones who were still alive, were left to fend for themselves. Their only hope for survival would be to escape this city, the City of the Dead.

Some OOC Info:
Your task is simple: leave the city, but it will be done through several acts (different parts of the city). During an act, you must make your way from one of the starting locations to one of the escape points to proceed.
Each act, I will accept new people to join, and all the survivors of the previous act (if any) will be transferred as well. There is only one character per person limit, though, so you can re-join an act after the one you were killed in with a new character, but you cannot have more than one at any time.
For new people, there will be designated starting areas, while those who come from the previous act will all start at one location. "How would that make sense if different people might escape through different routes", you ask? Simple: only ONE escape route will allow an escape, and I will not announce which until someone gets there. Even then, if I see someone suddenly changing directions to that valid escape point without sufficient IC basis, I'll kill them.
So, without further ado, the map for Act 1:

Spoiler:

The zombies are relatively slow, with weak hearing and sight and no other senses, non-responsive to damage and extremely strong.
Weak hearing means they won't hear normal footsteps even right next to them. Weak sight means they respond mostly to moving objects, don't see very far and may miss hidden people

Name: Ashley Atkinson
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Occupation: High School Student; Cashier

Appearance:

Skin:

Eyes:

Hair:

Build Type:

Distinctive Features:

General Description:

Outfit: Ashley wears the common High School Uniform of a short skirt and dress shirt along with the other generic components of a uniform. However, when sheâ€™s out of class, she usually wears a pair of black jeans with a graphic T or hoodie of her choice. Not to mention her black and white converse, of course. Otherwise, she dresses quite plain since thatâ€™s as much as her paycheck allows.

Personality: A genuinely optimistic person with incredible perseverance. She strives to make a difference and has a hard mind to change once itâ€™s made. Sheâ€™s stubborn and rather argumentative despite popular belief that sheâ€™s dimwitted. She has unwavering passion as well. No less a trait than any of the other points listed earlier.
Skills: Artistic- she handles both words and pencil/paint to a refined degree. She is good with navigation and has a photogenic memory (which has greatly aided her in school). Along with this, she has an incredible brain capacity for learning quickly. Finally, sheâ€™s a marvelous cook and has adequate medical knowledge. Â
Starting Items: Geometry Set; Pocket Knife; Basic Medical Supplies; Deck of Cards

Background: Every parent wants their child to live happily and achieve greatness. But conflicts arise, problems emerge, and the cruelty of the world is reflected in every personâ€™s eye. This is the case of Ashleyâ€™s life.

Ashleyâ€™s father was a military man that was proud to protect those he cared about. Despite his hard and strict outer shell, he was kind in his own way. Even though he was hard on Ashley for the simple things like not cleaning the house or being late to cook dinner, he was, in his own way, doing a favor. He was shaping Ashley to be as brilliant as her mother, Lillian. Lillianâ€¦ she was an artist, and an amazing one at that. Her paintings did not sell for thousands like so many others, but she was happy. They were all happy as this small, content family of three.

However, this system was destroyed in a few short months. Silas, Ashleyâ€™s father, had been sent on a mission in a neighboring country for the past 4 months when he was captured, tortured and later killed by the enemy forces. News reached home hard and, as most would tend to do, Lillian went into a mortal depression. She loved her husband very much, and isolated herself from even her daughter. However, Ashley was too young to understand. She was only 6 years old. And so, a month passed at an antagonizing, slow paceâ€¦

December 9; an empty bottle lay broken on the floor; an unlocked secret desk drawer; an eerie whisper shook a mother awake in the middle of the night; confusion. Stumbling on a pair of 6 year old legs, Ashley found herself in the doorway of her motherâ€™s bedroom. The moment Lillian flicked the switch of the lamp at her bedside table to see what the matter was, a heavy bang reverberated through the room. Lillian died instantly. Gunshot to the head. The drunk, clueless Ashley collapsed to the floor alongside a beautiful silver pistol that cast a gentle wisp of smoke to linger in the air.

****

The event embedded itself in Ashleyâ€™s past. It became a fact and nothing more, so she continued to live. If anything, the experiences of her past made her personality strengthen. And so, she attended school like any other regular person (with above average grades) under the care of foster parents. She pursues the idea of being an author or artist, similar to her mother and even placed time into learning to play the violin. She wears her motherâ€™s necklace as a reminder, but in her eyes, the only important thing is the future. Because really, thatâ€™s all we have left when we canâ€™t change yesterday and the present is already becoming the past.

OOC: Oops, I screwed up a bit when I forgot to put the starting locations into the template

Name: Sieva Howard
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Occupation: High School Student

Appearance:

Skin:

Eyes:

Hair:

Build Type:

Distinctive Features:

General Description:

¹

₂

Outfit: He wears the common High School uniform, almost. He never liked the idea of being restricted in what he was supposed to wear, so he wears the required jacket in a loose fashion, completely unbuttoned, over a bright red t-shirt. He also "modified" the standard issue pants to be a "loose fit" instead of straight and rather tight, to give himself freedom in movement, and giving them a somewhat ragged look. Naturally, it got him into a bunch of trouble with authorities

Personality: There are many sides to Sieva's personality. The most apparent one, the image he created, is of a lazy, laid-back, carefree and rebellious guy of average intelligence. Of course, while most of these qualities do apply to his real self, the reason behind them is entirely different and incomprehensible to most. He is actually very intelligent, but shows little interest in people or anything because he can always tell what to expect of things. He comes across as somewhat cold and heartless, but he is actually very kind and compassionate in heart. On the other hand, his intelligence makes him act upon logic most of the time. These different sides to him: instinct, emotions, the heart and the mind - create a horribly conflicted personality.
Skills: Intelligence, the ability to look at everything from every perspective, great foresight; self-taught martial arts
Starting Items: None

Background: Sieva was born into a wealthy family with two older sisters. The eldest was ten years older than him, kind and sweet. The other was only four years older, but whatever the case may have been towards other people, she had always been mean to him. His father was rarely home, and when he was, they never seemed to get along either, so the boy was brought up mostly by his mother. Needless to say, she surrounded him with love to the best of her abilities, but she was smart enough to teach him important things that many parents often overlooked - limiting oneself, helping others, and important ideals for future life. He grew up in "hothouse conditions" though, so he was unprepared for the harsh world that awaited him when he entered middle school. Back then, he would cry a lot when other kids were mean to him - not because he couldn't stand the pain, but because he couldn't understand why they acted that way towards him when he never did anything wrong by them.

However, unlike most people in his case would, he did not become aggressive in return. He matured and learned that sometimes, people don't need a reason to hit others, and that he had to fight back. He despised fighting, although he was pretty good at it, but it seemed unavoidable somehow. Never being very adept at communications, he became secluded since he could no longer trust a person he met for the first time to not be bad. After the start of a school year when he turned thirteen, he fell in love for the first time. There was a number of bad experiences with it, and added up with even more violent behavior from others during older school years and his personality, it formed him into what he is now by the summer he was going to turn sixteen.

Humans cannot be trusted. Humans are trash who, instead of using their skills for the good of everyone, only abused them to make themselves feel better by degrading others. Humans abused the gift of intelligence to enslave nature. Humans are dirt, boasting their superiority over animals but acting lower than the most despicable of parasites. Indeed, he no longer considered himself to be human, or rather, he considered himself truly human while the rest around him were nothing more than feces at heart. It didn't matter who it was or what they were going to do: he always knew it before they even did. He always knew exactly how each separate person would react to each of his actions and words. He laughed at their pathetic attempts to manipulate his emotions and lie about only pretending to act the way he expected them to. Soon, he lost interest in the human race, and his heart grew dull.

Nobody could understand him, but that was to be expected: they were all inferior beings, ignorant to the level where they would teach something they know nothing about to a specialist in the area and not feel anything off about it. Life became boring, and he desperately wished for something out of the ordinary to happen, no matter what it would be. And, one ordinary day, it did.

Name: Hikari Mizuhaka
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Occupation: High School Student

Appearance:

Skin:

Eyes:

Hair:

Build Type:

Distinctive Features:

General Description:

Outfit: Hikari wears standard high-school white button-up dress shirt along with a short, black skirt. She sometimes is seen wearing a red or black tie, but more often than not, she does not wear one. When not in school, sometimes she still wears her school uniform (especially on weekdays), but when she isn't, she wears a semi-tight black shirt that has a cross, with the middle of the cross going down the middle of the shirt. The cross on the shirt has red "splotches" on it which were part of the design, probably supposed to be blood. The cross in the main focal point of the shirt. She still wears a short, black skirt outside of school as well. Sometimes, a chain is seen somewhere on her body- usually worn as a bracelet. She also wears a necklace that is metal, and has a celtic cross on it as much as possible.

Personality: She likes to keep to herself a lot, but she also participates in quite a few activities, just sitting in the corner. She doesn't have many friends, but not because she's stuck-up. In fact, she dislikes stuck-up people. Generally, the more "popular" kids look down on her, and she gives them a glare in return. When she does speak, her voice is usually calm and pleasant-sounding. However, when she gets angry, her tone becomes bitter and sharp. In contrast to her name, most give her the title of being "dark" or "gothic"- Hikari just thinks that she's doing what she likes. She usually never gets angry at name-calling or such, but she does stick up for others, usually getting between the two quarraling sides silently. Even when she's in pain, the only way to really tell is by watching Hikari's eyes. She also loves electronics, and does a lot of time dismantling and seeing how they tick, and putting them back together. She loves trying to make electronics do more than what they were marketed to do- whether that means hacking or making some adjustments to the circuitry.
Skills: She has a natural tendency to stop quarraling, but often times gets herself into trouble with her silence. She also is quite fast, can catch quite well, and throws decently. She also is quite good with maintenance on electrical appliances, especially computers, and can do some minor hacking.
Starting Items:
Laptop
Backpack with school appliances
English translator book.

Background:
Hikari was originally from Japan, but she had decided to move over to America to live with another part of her family, which was wealthier than her parents in Japan. She was quite smart for her age, and she was able to skip a grade- 8th. She entered freshman year a year before anyone else she knew, so she entered with mostly people she didn't know. However, before the semester was over, almost everyone in the school knew her name.

Distinctive Features:

General Description:

Outfit: Locron wears Standard SWAT gear which includes a multipurpose black stab proof vest with eight large pockets. He wears a black long sleeve combat shirt which is tight around his body thus keeping warmth and less chance of it getting caught. He wears black cargo pants which are not very baggy. His boots are obviously low cut to prevent restriction if running is necessary. To top it all off he has a blood red extended shoulder pad on his right shoulder which partially cover his neck and has the company logo on it.

Personality: Locron is more of a lone wolf, he keeps to himself and has a high survival rate when it comes to unfavourable odds. Although he seems ruthless and cold hearted he would never leave a living soul behind if there was a single doubt in his mind that that person was in danger.
Skills: Weapons specialised training (Medium assault rifles and low power snipers) with some hand to hand thrown in. He has a keen mind and is always capable to think one step ahead, (well at least at chess).

Knifes â€“ one small combat dagger
Gadgets â€“ A single radio.

Background:
Locron was hand picked from thirty possible candidates by Field (A rather well known counter-terrorist action unit) to become part of their highly renowned counter terrorised task force. The Specific division he was placed in dealt with bio-chemical terrorism and the things that you donâ€™t see everyday kind of terrorism. Luckily for him this particular squad didnâ€™t get much work but had a huge pay check so he was basically living a life of luxury with no price what so ever. However, unlucky for Locron the members of this â€œUNITâ€ had a low chance of survival rate when it came to their missions.

His first couple of missions demonstrated that as the two other rookies in his division got killed on their first day. But that didnâ€™t stop Field as they had tonnes of volunteers to fill in the spot. Once again these rookies would just die on their first mission and then get replaced.

Locron was now on his tenth mission and was in command on his very own squad. However as the helicopter cam in to land the engine stalled and resulted in the loss of his entire squad and his only means of escape from what was his worst nightmare.

Stadium Car park
