The Colony of Eden - Sign Up
*Tip*-It is recommended (but not required) you read the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brookes as this RPG is (somewhat) inspired by it.
Sign-ups will remain open indefinitely. He comes from the grave, his body a home of worms and filth. No life in his eyes, no warmth in his skin, no beating of his (chest). His soul as empty and dark as the night sky. He laughs at the blade, spits at the arrow as they will not harm his flesh. For eternity, he will walk the earth, smelling the sweet blood of the living, feasting upon the bones of the damned. Beware, for he is the living dead. -Obscure Hindu Text, circa 1000 B.C.E. It is 2030. The war for humanity rages on against all Undead. We are on the brink of loss with very few spots of society still remaining. While the government in hiding continues its façade of a political system, The ordinary citizens of the former U.S.A have been left to suffer. In lieu of this surprising turn of events, those who have decided not to give up sought out shelter in the tundra of the Yukon creating the first zombie safe-haven. When the living dead triumphed, the world degenerated into utter chaos. With the total collapse of law-and-order, small bands of individuals emerged to assert their authority. Looters, bandits, and common thugs prey on the survivors, taking whatever they want and indulging in whatever pleasure they can find. What police and military forces are lefty serve as protection for the government in hiding, deserted in attempts to save their families, or degenerated into bandits themselves. Isolated cities became battlegrounds, with scattered groups of abandoned citizens fighting to defend barricaded areas from both zombies and human renegades. The countryside flourishes with zombies. With cities picked clean of humanity, the undead fan out in search of prey. Country homes and suburban neighborhoods are torn to shreds as citizens flee, attempt to stand and fight, or wait helplessly for the slouching multitudes to engulf them. We are part of the colony of Eden. Every day is a continues fight for your life. All males over the age of fifteen are drafted into the military while females have the option to join if they wish. You are one of the elite soldiers part of the Z.A.P (Zombie Assassination Project). With the upcoming epidemic "crawling" (hehe) closer each minute we need to protect the colony with the best protection possible and eradicate the undead before the worst possible scenario is in effect. A period of silence unknown for generations and a world ruled by the undead. About Eden: Location: Rural, Mountainousness Tennessee Population: 50 people MOL Kind of buildings: Wooden buildings Resources: Apparently farmed, grown, mined, self-produced pretty much. Government: Open Democracy (like the Greeks) Jobs- Everybody has a military role and a normal job. ex: Sniper and Carpenter Sophistication. Just a 1950's style simplistic time. Sort of like a utopia except with zombies .
Sign Up Sheet
Mine are.. Age- 19 Gender- Male Personality- Maru Ichiraku is a lone wolf sort of character. He cares for no one but himself due to the zombification of his whole family although he has gotten more socially active after joining Z.A.P. He is quite, but social; rarely found talking outside of Eden. He is the kind of person who will shoot a zombie in the face 1000 yards out and grab a drink afterwards. He is technically a pyromaniac, but his talent with fire has proven useful more than once. He shows no sympathy for outlaws or raiders, and would rather save his friend than kill the target. Backstory- Maru once lived a happy life with his mother Sakura who ran a church in their hometown. Although non-religious, Maru enjoyed helping out the church in a variety of ways. He made the best pies you would've ever tasted and the most mouth-watering cupcakes imaginable. Maru's father was in the military so he was never home but on a rare occasion he showed up on the door step and would stay for a few days before going back to the base where he was stationed. When the alarms were raised, Maru and his mother managed to survive by staying in the cellar of their church, a week or so before this all happened Sakura got a call from her husband Madara saying to be prepared for the worst in a groaning type of speech like he had gone mad, when asked what was wrong with him Madara responded "I've seen some things that no one man should ever see, I was even attacked by a little girl! There was something strange about her but in a strange way I feel good....."he then Hysterically laughed "Just be prepared for the worst cause when I come home it wont be a visit".... The phone line then cut off. Back to present day. Screams and moans could be heard from outside from people, but it didn't sound like they were acting normal. A loud bang as if wood was breaking could be heard from upstairs...Maru and Sakura went to see what it was and they were astonished to see what was in front of them Madara and around 9 other men were there in their in Armor but for what reason? Seven of the men went outside to fight what was supposedly zombies while Madara and his 2 most trusted men stood before Maru. Madara commanded "Take them both downstairs now! I've got something in store for my wife!" he then laughed. Maru and his mother were thrown down the wooden stone steps leading down to the cellar. Madara and his men tied up Sakura and killed her right before Maru's very eyes, Madara shoving his crest embedded sword into her chest while she screamed in agony until she finally past. They left her hanging there as if she was just a play thing. Madara then pulled out a pistol from behind his right thigh, pointed it at Maru, and started to softly weep. Just before Madara pulled the trigger, 18 zombies bashed through the door with there bloody eyes staring intently at Madara and a Ghastly Moan piercing the soldiers ears. In the confusion, Maru was able to snatch his fathers pistol, shoot the soldiers, and continue to destroy the zombies with no looks of letting up. That fateful night left him scared for all eternity. It pained him to see the horrific process of the undead shatter through windows and zombiefy all those soldiers. As he fled with tears flowing down his face, He swore he saw his parent rise from death and chased him. He met a girl named Brandy along the way. She had shared a similar fate and was the same age so Maru agreed to travel with her. As they meandered aimlessly across ghoul-infested territory, they were rescued from the brink of death by scouts from Eden. It is there where they found his new home at last. Image/Looks- Maru is an Asian (Vietnamese to be exact) immigrant whom moved to America when he was only 2 months old. Small and skinny, Maru wears the Standard bite resistant light Kevlar vest covering the hands and arms with a custom full black finish with midnight blue strips down the sleeves. He also wears tight black leather leggings that are as well, bite resistant. He has a small build and moderate long (to the shoulders) black hair. He has piercing hazel eyes that seem to pierce into ones soul with a 1000-Yard Stare yet can soothe the wildest soul with a single glance. Weaponry- His trusty M1 Garand is his ranged weapon of choice with the Colt 1911 that killed his father as a side arm. Melee weapons are a different story though. His indoor choice of melee combat is a titanium custom made trench spike. Anywhere else it is a titanium infused refurbished steel katana. He wears the Standard light Kevlar vest covering the hands and arms which is bite resistant. He is an excellent sniper with an itchy trigger finger and a cool head. Have you read The Zombie Survival Guide?- Yes Skills- Effective at all ranges, Military Strategist, Most knowledgeable of zombies, Served in the Great Siberian War (Served between 2025-2028 ), Quietest at close-quarters combat Job within the Colony- Gunsmith and Espionage/Sniper ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name- Brandy Walker Age- 19 Gender- Female Personality- Brandy is a happy-go-lucky sort of girl. She works fast and efficiently, and always has enough time to fit in a good nail painting. She is the one of the most helpful in the Z.A.P program and is always seeking ways to work with others. She help others even when others say help isn’t necessary. Despite her helpful personality, she is very clumsy, forgetful on some things and tends to procrastinate on tasks such as arriving to meetings on time, taking out the trash, and cooking on rare occasions. She is a straight thinker and solves problems logically although in a very peculiar manner. Backstory- Brandy lived in the suburbs of Providence, Rhode Island with her widowed father. After her mothers death, her father gained an interest in aviation and amateur radio hence he began to practice it. Brandy never knew her mother as she was shot in the head when she was only 2 months old. Following in her fathers footsteps, she gained a pilots license when she was 14 and her radio license at 15. 2 weeks after taking the HAM radio test, she was experimenting with her new radio and picked up a few peculiar government secrets closed from open ears. Apparently there is a certain frequency that with the right tools, can tap into government chatter undetected as long as you don't broadcast back. As far as she knew she was the only one who knew about this closely guarded secret and decided not to tell another soul in fear of federal troubles. After listing to the chatter and learning along the way for the next 4 years, the government told her something she never would believe unless she heard it her self. The government was testing a bio-chemical American PGM-17 Thor missiles containing Solanum that is when the truth struck like lightning. Zombies existed. After purchasing the Zombie Survival Guide, Brandy closely observed news reports and found that the government had quarantined a small town 50 miles away due to "An outbreak of Malaria that has enraged the local population." It showed half-eaten corpses that were eaten by a "maniac" or "maniacs". All the corpses were decapitated or suffered bullet wounds in the skull. That nigh scarred her. After the report was over, she grabbed the bike, loaded the crossbow, sheathed her Tonto, and rode off. 3 days later all of Rhode Island was infected and it was spreading to the surrounding states. After meandering from state to state, she met up with Maru and found Eden together. Image/Looks- Brandy is a Tall Caucasian woman who is a Russian Immigrant whom moved to America as an infant. She stands tall at 5 feet, 7 inches. She has Blond hair with brown highlights that never seem to fade, and a snow white beret (the color white). Her hair goes a down to her shoulders (Identical to Maru’s Style). During the hunt or battle, she wears her majestic long hair tucked into her beret while wearing her white Kevlar suit her crossbow on her back and when in the kitchen wears a sun-bleached white cooking apron with many pockets to hold various items. Weaponry- Brandy wields a Excalibur 6770 11 Equinox Crossbow and always carries a quiver full of 100 triangular bolts handy. She also carries a Japanese Kubikiri Tanto which she also uses to cut meat for dinner (Kubikiri Means Head-Cutter BTW). She wears her camouflage pattern standard Light Bite-Resistant Kevlar Covers to help concealment while hunting and sniping. During battle, Brandy keeps her majestic hair tucked into a beret.
