OOC: Asad, read up where exactly?

((I’ll put up an bringing up to speed post soon. I remember most of it.))

The story so far…
It all began months ago, when the bombs fell. Anyone in major cities who weren’t in proper shelters were killed, then reanimated into zombies, or as survivors have begun to call them, Zs. A ragtag group was brought together to survive an onslaught of terror. Several of the survivors were immune to the virus entirely, and were part of a research experiment by Dr. Sawyer, who was one of the original creators of the virus. Sawyer’s son, a teen who ran away from home and became army lieutenant, was one of these pawns, along with Glade, a sheltered techie, and Cara, a socially awkward woman with a checkered past (There are others, but I don’t remember ALL of them unfortunately if anyone else with past knowledge of the rp wants to butt in and help me out it would be much appreciated)).

At first, they didn’t know the extent of anything going on, and originally tried to make a safe house in the city. The plan didn’t work, as they were confronted by a mysterious man named Drake who had somehow gained the capability to control Zs. Drake told everyone to leave the city within 3 days, or else the city would explode, killing them all.

Sawyer left Cara and Glade with the others, and went off on his own, looking for something he felt was missing. Cara and the other survivors moved south, towards a location called the “farm” and went by way of subway tunnels. Sawyer was forced into another confrontation with Drake, and killed him, liberating all of his supplies, and taking them to the other survivors, who were having their own troubles fighting off new types of Zs in the tunnels. After giving them these items, minus a vial of antivirus (later known to be flawed) Sawyer once again left the others, who now headed north after learning the farm was a trap.

Sawyer caught up with a new survivor, named Sky, who was alone in a mansion. Left without much supply, Sawyer “liberated” a motorcycle, which the two used to escape on, being bit and using the antivirus in the process. Meeting back up with the survivors, they finally made a run out of the city, and Sawyer began to change due to the effects of the incomplete antivirus. He confided in Cara, and lead the survivors towards a cabin where they could stay.

The three day limit passed, and the city did not explode. Sawyer, angered by the bluff, finds out his father, Dr. Nathaniel (RIGHT NAME! TY GLADE!) Sawyer, is involved and is at the farm via radio transmission. Glade separated from the group, due to falling out with Sawyer and Cara, and also headed towards the farm, becoming infected along the way.

Meeting at the farm was a disaster- all the remaining survivors became infected, and were also forced to use the incomplete antivirus on themselves. Nathaniel, now with Glade on his side, fought back the survivors, managing to go so far as kill Sawyer (A latent viral infection revived him). Nathaniel is seemingly killed at this time, and Cara is infected with some of Nathaniel’s blood.

The group (now minus Glade who acted on his own and is/was technically a Z) headed towards a coastal city, supposedly a safe haven. It was not in fact, a military run city and the military were part of the organization that dropped the bombs. Cara and the other survivors (save for Sawyer who was held in captivity and tortured all the while) overthrew the regime and set the city free. The city’s security expert, Flynn, escaped however, vowing revenge.

Flynn caught up to Glade, who’d begun putting together some specialist Zs to wipe out his ex-friends, and told him where to go, trying to use Glade as a weapon against the other survivors. Sawyer and Cara struggled with their relationship, and finally smoothed it out, just before they uncovered Christian’s true plan for the city they were in- Zs are respondent to certain transmissions, and the city would broadcast a signal which would call all the Zs towards it, while simultaneously making them completely feral.

It is also during this time, the survivors learn that Sawyer has a half brother with great powers underneath the city. The man, named Grainger, will not stop the plan, telling the survivors that it is inevitable, also hinting at Nathaniel being alive. Grainger uses Flynn as his operative, who actually ends up saving the survivors in the coming battle. Sky is kept in Grainger’s mobile base, which was underneath the city, at the request of the other survivors.

The survivors found no way to stop it, and prepared nonetheless. Glade threw a wrench in their plans, infiltrating the city before the signal and destroying their defenses. This ended in a massive battle between two sides, and ended with the city just barely surviving the attack, and Glade being defeated, but left alive.

Only hours have passed since the end of the battle…

((This looks so awesome. I wasn’t in the old one, but would it be ok with you guys if I joined this one?))

((Will, I don’t see why it would be a problem. I think that’s why we’re being so detailed with the back story of our group, as well as each character. But, that’s just my opinion. We were always welcoming new characters on the last board.))

@susieliveshere Yes, we are back! Of course you can join. I don’t see how that would be a problem. There is one condition you must accept; don’t let this thread distract you in your studies :p

@willcharles Yes, we are open to new-comers. I remember you showing some interest before the crash.

Character sheet
Name: Glade
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Specialty: Technical equipment
Description/Bio: Glade was a quite fellow who worked in a small electronics shop in the city. He never really cared for his family, safe for his niece. He would spend weeks at his older sister’s house watching her. Nat was the only person in the world Glade would.have died for.

After the bombs went off, his timid nature was replaced with a sarcastic, smartass one. He feared for his niece, always thinking about her, but never talking about her. Days passed as the thought of her gnawed at the back of Glade’s mind. Soon, he found himself departing the group to journey on to his Sister’s house.

Glade was shocked to find his Sister’s body lying next to a folded, bloody blanket. They were both dead. From this point on, Glade swore on his life he would kill the person responsible.

After receiving an unusual radio broadcasting informing him to the farm, Glade was infected by a spotter. He still maintained his consciousness, but gained new abilities. One was to control the Z’s. On the farm, Nathanial (Sawyers father) warped his mind to hate humans.

The battle on the farm unfolded. Nathanial was killed. Glade was barely left alive. Feeling betrayed by Nathanial, Glade had another goal; kill Nathanial.

As the group headed to the port, and relative safety, Glade.ventured back into the city looking for new, stronger companions. He found Ana’s (another RPer who has not yet created an account) brother, Sky’s father, and Cara’s mother, re-animating them with Nathanial’s blood. They were a force to be reckoned with.

With some typical zombie behaviour, Glade’s hatred for humans grew. He learned that his former group had taken safety in the walled city near the port. With the help of his human puppet, Glade infiltrated the city. He opened the gates to hundreds of hungry Z’s.

During the fight, one by one, Glade’s companions fell, until only Glade was left alive. He was no match for the combined power of his former group, and fell injured.

((Gladly. There are several types:
Shamblers- Typical original zombies, they move slowly and are not terribly hard to kill unless in large groups.

Runners- Same as above, but with the abilities of running and climbing. Also have limited “hunter” instincts and usually travel in packs.

Lurkers- Zs who have active camouflage, usually lying in wait to strike and devour their opponent.

Spitters- Less concerned with food (capable of devour other Zs for survival) these are the smartest of all the Z types. They fire projectile infected vomit from a distance and turn people. These type know how to avoid close combat well, and some (before the signal) retained the ability to mimic speech as a way to lure victims.

Trolls- Massive powerful Zs with thick skin and regenerative powers, the only real way to kill them is to burn them apart. Taking their head off might also work, but is incredibly risky. (Think El Gigante from Resident Evil 4 then you’ll have a good picture)

This about covers everything, but a new type has recently surfaced and now takes up the majority:
Feral- Zs with improved reflexes, strength, and senses. They attack anything upon seeing/hearing/smelling it. Incredibly violent, and very strong, they are a force to be reckoned with, but still die like normal Zs do.))

((SUSIE THAT’S AWESOME! There are characters here I didn’t even remember!!!))

EDIT ((Tobias was I think created by Zela/Cara, and controlled by both of us depending on who’s there))

EDIT 2 ((Grainger! How do we keep forgetting him?)

((I don’t even remember Tobias or Cain… Anyone remember?))

((I don’t remember there being a Cain…))

((I can’t remember either, he’s only a civilian though, so probably not that important. Can you remember anything about the people who kidnapped Cara and Sky? Although she might not be important, I think she was killed…. but this is a Z apocolypse, deceased doesn’t mean that much.))

((I’m pretty sure that was Lucy, and she’s dead now so that’s not an issue anymore.))

((urm. By a woman. When they were in the walled city placed… And kept in cells. Cara was kidnapped after she chased Flynn, and Luke threw her into the back of his truck or something. Sky was taken straight from Darren’s quarters. And Sawyer fought her, but she could predict his next moves everytime he made one… and she called cara “love”))

((I’m pretty sure it was Lucy considering she worked under Flynn and was supposed to cause a split between Cara and Sawyer, then kill Sawyer. Lucy was also crazy, and jealous of Cara.))

(( Something tells me it wasn’t lucy… like her name was beth maybe??? Sawer killed lucy, right? but he had a big fight with this woman? She was like Grainger, we heard her name but not her. but then again, her and Lucy being the same girl works))

((For story purposes and since we seem to be so foggy on this character, let’s assume it’s Lucy. Susie, are you putting your character back up soon?))

((No, no. I vaguely remember Lucy working for Grainger. She had some lovers quarrel with Cara. I’m sure she’s dead though.))

((Yep, there we go… Knew it wasn’t Lucy! @Will Yeah… we tend to do that XD
Anything else we need to iron out in details before we get going?))

((Well, where do we start. We were in the tunnels at the end of the previous story. Maybe we should start off a bit before that, but after the whole hospital scene.))

((@Asad Agree completely. After the hospital bit, but before leaving?))

EDIT ((@Alex we were using them to travel back to the farm. We needed to head that way to shut down the signal.))

((okey dokes))

((Ah. Gotcha guys. Vague remembrance forming. All good here now.
Sawyer and Cara were swayed to save Glade by Ana, who I believe had a thing for Glade. Sorta. Flynn also came in and prevented them from killing each other at Grainger’s orders [correct me if I'm wrong] They woke up in the hospital having been treated. They were all still weak, especially Glade, but were all due to make a full recovery.))

Name: Sky Becker
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Specialty: Good shot, but no real combat skills. Being George Becker’s daughter affords a little bit of protection from those who created & spread the virus.
Description/Bio: Grew up in England, her parents were scientists. When her mother died she and her father had a similar reaction. They both became cold. When her mother left, so did all the warmth. Her father became obsessed with ideas and notions about bringing the dead back to life. He and Sky moved to America, where he started work on the virus, although she didn’t know it at the time. Later when she found out, it was too late.

After the bombs went off Sky lived alone in her old house, to be found by Sawyer, and joined the group. She was shy, and thought everyone would hate her for being the daughter of the man who created the virus. But they weren’t.

Her father had left her one final thing ((I cannot for the life of me remember how)) a letter expressing his love, and also a warning as to the spitting Zombies, and the unfinished antidote to the virus.

She has a cousin Darren, who looked after her in his barracks. Then after being kidnapped she stayed with Grainger, and while he said and did some unusual things, it became clear he was a good guy.

((ohh yeah and then it became clear someone was using them as weapons against us. But I have another question, Who’s the bad guy right now? Nathanial is “dead” and Glade’s with us.))

((Nathanial isn’t officially dead. He’s still alive, somewhere. And as for Glade… we’ll have to wait and see.))
