lol sorry for the bad title but heres the gist of it

StoryThe CDC has gone crazy and unleashed the virus causing the infection. In an effort to cover it up the government is making it into a "game". The group who gets to the safe-haven wins 1 million$ each.

RulesNO Godmodding. This includes omnisiency( YOU know it but your char shouldnt.You get 1 warning...after that your infected food.:skull: No more than 4 people at a time in one group. You exceed that number ...expect some infected to get that down a notch:skull: You get 1char only...unless you die of course.

Need To Know

Downing:Infected "down" you in 3 hits. You get hit when A. You dont work together B. YOu act stupid or C. your one of my targets in a infec-date. Get "downed" twice and you get bit. Bitten and 2 things can happen. 1. Your teammates kill you. or 2 they can help you with a quick antidote( you have 2 posts to get to the mini safe haven to get the full antidote. you don't your dead or I take control of your char to attack the others, thus they shoot you .

Infec-dates: The first thing thatsll happen is I will post a scene thatl be broadcast in your area with a surprise. Then youll meet up in a random location(intro posts) and then the first Infec-Date will happen.

Okay fixed the story.

[dudeitzmeh]

Seems a little vague, but I love L4D (Valve fanboy here) so I'll probably create a character once this gains more momentum...

[sleepe_lions]

this is like....nothiness the only thing it will bring people is the name.....

[stgmiller]

Ok, I'm here to help out my buddy here, LordTime, get this rp off the ground...though it may seem vague I have been given special premission to save this thread from yours truly.

So lets start with the story first
Story: ok those newbies to the Left 4 Dead world need only know the theme is a zombie outbreak. A zombie outbreak by defination is an invasion of flesh eating former humans who have transcended to that state of unique brain death we call..undeath.

Left 4 Dead however imposes a new type of zombie that has gained popularity since 28 days later, the fastie as i will call them. This new type of zombie outbreak is far more terrifying. this is the type of outbreak used in Left 4 Dead; humans infected with a viruse that causes them to exhibit increased metabolism, strength, and aggression .

Well onward to the actual storyline:
The storyline in Left 4 Dead was open-ended and told through several "movies". All that the player knows is that a zombie out back has occurred and that you must survive it.

The story in this rp is a storyline that takes place five years after the events of Blood Harvest, and during the storyline of Left 4 Dead; the supposed last campaign in Left 4 Dead which serves as the end to the original game in this rp.

Our story begins with the globe pandimic known as viruse-52 spreading across the globe; with thousands of infected in the US the government decides to establish strict guidelines to ensure our culture survives. Military forces take control of major population centers; and establish barricades to the innumerable infected; scientists trace the vector of infection as direct contact with said infected(a process that leaves bacteria spores which eventually take control of the host and begins rapid mutation.). Those who have been found to have direct contact with any infected are executed to prevent further spread to established safe zones.

This is were you come in; a person inside the civil protection center, Leman base; located in the colorado mountains. Recently you have arrived and have been scanned to be uninfected; relieved that you have been declared "clean" you have retired to do whatever you like to do. The Leman base itself currently houses ten thousand non-infectees, four thousand military personel of the US army rangers, and several dozen scientific researchers currently studying the evolution of the witch.

You have so far spent three days inside this cramped military base; awaiting some unknown fate that has yet to expose itself. you stand now in the mess hall of the base; you see several people travel through the scanner tents, all are found unclean and shot on the end of the two beeps from the scanner unit. It is shortly after 12:00 p.m and the mess hall is filled with chatting civilians and military personel. The base is a large military bunker established during the Cold War in the colorado mountains; orginially designed to protect the best and brightest from nuclear war. The base now serves as one of the last bastions of humanity left in the world.

At 12:30 pm a mysterious man enters the mess hall and travels to the center of the room. His long unkempt black hair and unshaven face cover his grim face. His long tanned leather coat is large and bulky giving him the appearance of a obese man; a fact that is clearly false from the way he walks.

He finds a sit in the middle of the room; he says nothing to those around him. He remains silent for five minutes, his features remain drawn and his breathing is steady.

Explosion after explosion is heard then throughout the base; it is 12:35 now, your life has taken and unfortunate turn for the worse. The man raises amongst the now startled crowds; he speaks in a deep exhausted voice.

"Suffer not the lies of those around you! Innocence means nothing!" the man yells before he is engulfed in a explosion that billows forth from his jacket; a suicide bomber. you are thrown back injured but not out; all around you people are either dead, injured, or spasming. The spasming ones stop for a moment before raising again...infected; they begin to attack, you see a helpless man being tore in half by the super-human zombies.

The infection in Leman base has begun; will you fight it or flee. Will you seek to uncover the truth of the events that have transpired or will you focus on escaping. Will you save your fellows or will you leave them for dead. Will you be able to survive this new zombie apocalypse?

Rules:

NO Godmodding. This includes omnisiency( YOU know it but your char shouldnt.You get 1 warning...after that your infected food. No more than 4 people at a time in one group. You exceed that number ...expect some infected to get that down a notch You get 1char only...unless you die of course.

Spoilers:

Downing:Infected "down" you in 3 hits. You get hit when A. You dont work together B. YOu act stupid or C. your one of my targets in a infec-date. Get "downed" twice and you get bit. Bitten and 2 things can happen. 1. Your teammates kill you. or 2 they can help you with a quick antidote( you have 2 posts to get to the mini safe haven to get the full antidote. you don't your dead or I take control of your char to attack the others, thus they shoot you .

Infec-dates: updates that are boardcast to your area; paying attention to them is healthy, but you could always chose the other less healthy way.

Smokers: are a special mutation of the infected that processes abnormal height and an enlonged tongue. They attack from a decent range and focus on spliting groups of survivors apart. Expect them to be annoying; which that onto itself is a understatement for their cruelty.

Witches: young, half-naked women; yes it isn't a lie. To give a statement of their abilities; the crying is not for help, it is a warning, and her pale back hides a horrible weapon capable of causing fatal injuries with a single swipe. A witch is best avoided; as only the unwise would interupt her creaseless grieving.

Hunters: A mutation of the infected that processes exceptional agility and strength; this infected is not to be underestimated. They attack through a "prounce" and easily can down and kill a survivor on their own; a hunter is the predator of lone wolves and slackers. To combat them a survivor must stay amongst his/her company...lest they become another victem to this killing machine.

Boomers: living bombs who only seek to spread this infected attacting bile on any potential infectee. A boomer is best combated at long range; a distance where their bile is rendered ineffective and the special present they leave after death can't coat the attackers in the foul infected attacting blood of this horrible mutation.

Tanks: A tank is the ultimate evolution to the infected's reliance on strength. These massive behemoths are group killers unto themselves. They require intelligence and skill to bring down; the focused fire of a group of survivors is the only hope against this tyrant. Tanks however process a unique weakness to fire that can and should be capitalized on when possible.

Infected: the standard infected is a infected human who has yet to undergo mutation. They attack in large groups and are the primary reason for sticking together to progress. Though they process superior strength and speed; the infected can be downed with the similar punishment it would take to kill a normal human.

Weapons:
As a rule whats in Left 4 Dead are still modern day (none of that freaking pulse rifle crap). The weapons in this rp have no limit...if it is modern day and it is pusible to be located in a US military base than you are welcome to use it. A limitation is imposed in that you can only carry
A close combat weapon
(because melee spamming with a gun doesn't sound fun.)
a pistol
(up to you in my books what type; so long as it isn't some custom made full auto- desert engle with two scopes and a silencer.),
a explosive
(i shouldn't have to explain that),
buff pills(anything that would keep you going and is an actual drug)
, and a primary weapon
( can be anything modern; however take due note that the workings of a M16-A2 are different than a M202 A1.)

Skills:
Anything that you think would be useful for surviving the situation may be used.
Example: Scavage: an above average ability in the searching and attainment of goods.

The rp has been established now in what I shall call a beta form; from now on expect to see me aiding LordTime in the perfection of this rp in a anyway i can deliver in. :D

Now for those interested please post your character and if I left anything vague please post and tell me so that I may correct it. Happy zombie hunting to everyone.

[dudeitzmeh]

Alright let's see if I can help Lord get this started by making the first char...

Name: Kevin Dowell

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt346/just_Blaze619/gang.jpg

DOB: Nov. 20 and whatever age makes him 17

Bio: Abused by parents, led into the gang life, where he stayed until the outbreak of the infection

Skills: He's not a trained shooter, but he's lived a hard life on the streets. He knows how to take care of himself.

Equipment: He's not a good marksman by any account, but he carries around a pistol. He's a street punk so he'll pretty much use anything around, bats, his own fists, shivs, whatever. Oh, and he has a skateboard >_>"

[echo 78]

So wait, I just post here to create a character?

[stgmiller]

Your help is welcomed bud; I'll be sure to tell LordTime of the update to his rp I provided.

[stgmiller]

post here to create you character; the actual rp will begin when LordTime green-lights it which i assure everyone, will not take long.

[Lance Lod]

Watched my brother play this game, the characters were cool.

Name: Marcus Lugosi
DOB: March 6th, 25 years old
Bio: A firefighter who believes in helping people. Upon the outbreak, his fire crew were still trying to put out fires unaware that the infected were attracted by the light and noise of the truck. Having survived unharmed by the grace of a fireaxe, he made it to the base and was thankfully given the all clear.
Skills: A trained firefighter, he has skills in rescue, first-aid and procedure in an emergency.
Equipment: When the base went to sh*t, Marcus had only one thought, gear. Looting a dead soldier, he now carries a Fireaxe he pulled from the wall and a baretta he got from the soldier.

@Lance: Do you only join RP's without stats or something? xD

[Lance Lod]

Yes, I hate stats, but that's not my only criteria, why, is there one you think I might like around here?

[dudeitzmeh]

No, no. I just noticed (I join both) that RPers either only do RP's with stats or without stats >_>" I actually enjoy the stat system but whatever xD

Though I have an idea for another RP (Ima wait for some of the larger ones to die down..) that doesn't use stats.

[Liar]

Woo! A Zombie RP! I've been dying to find one of these for a while! Well, I created my character. I do warn for those about to read to prepare yourself, I did extensive research.

Also another thing, I never played as some combat specialized person before in these type of roleplays, so tell me if I did a great job or not.

Name: Wylde
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/Kitsune_Kyoushu/guy-2.png
DOB: February 29th; 27 Years Old
Biography:
A mercenary for foreign legions; during the outbreak, he was preparing to leave the country while smuggling in some illegal firearms via private jet. He retreated as his comrades lay dying as they were ambushed by the infected. However, not all of his group were killed; four of them, including himself, managed to reach the crate that was smuggling his firearms. They went aboard a small car within the airport and drove off before finally being rescued by the the military. Thanks to the chaos, Wylde and his three friends managed to survive the whole ordeal...for a while.
Skills:
Sharpshooter - As a former mercenary of several wars in other countries, he is highly capable of using a firearm and knows the mechanics of one very well. Although he does not have perfect aim, his excellent marksmanship is one to be reckoned with.
Close Quarters Specialist - More than once, Wylde would be forced to contend with just his fists alone. He is well-versed in fighting with his bare hands, or rather with his legs. He is also known to be well-trained with a combat knife on more than one occasion.
Scars of War - When in high-stressed situations, Wylde tends to think more about survival. Facing the horrors of countless battles, he has grown apathetic to both death and destruction. It comes to no surprise that he is able to think straight in demanding times, however that doesn't excuse him from the occasional yells of terror and anguish.
Heightened Reflexes - His life revolved around killing the enemy, and so he has trained his entire body to destroy all that stand in his way from living. He has honed his senses to give him a higher ability to react to distressing events quickly.

[dudeitzmeh]

No infected :(

They're pretty mindless anyway, even if you can play as them in game.

[Raiden]

nah I think some of them are pretty intelligent (at leats more than the rest) liek smoker and hunter and wouldnt it be totally cool to play a tank? :D They are really hard to get killed.

However @Liar: I really like your char, I think you made a good job^^

[gabo628]

i like playing with the tank it keeps punching me SOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD XD

[iamaninja]

I think that a Hunter or a Smoker would be more intelligent then the rest because as a Smoker they'd have to find an out of the way area in which to snare survivors and the Hunters'd have to be smart enough to stay out of sight and stalk the Survivors

I love L4D, great game, worth every cent

[dudeitzmeh]

I'm still against playable zombies. The infected are smart for zombies...but they're not really smart enough to RP for. :/
