Conner McAlister (played by Ambrosia)

Greed.. Power... These things makr men do stupid things. Who benefits from war?
The rich ofcourse. Peddling guns, missiles and even experimental drugs with promises of hightened abilities and strength.

god is everyone stupid!? how many 'mistakes' is mankind allowed to make before SOMETHING goes wrong?

Well it wasn't long until the the drug backfired. People started eating other people. The government fell and Trump is nowhere to be seen. What a saggy orange waste of skin that guy... He was a mistake the minute he popped out of his mother.

We were told the 'disease' was contained. Oh how stupid and ignorant everyone was. It wasn't long after the inital outbreak, San Fransisco started to crumble. Sounds of cars and people on the streets feel like a distant memory but in reality. It's only been a month since it started. Groans of the soulless, animated corpsrs are all that remain.


Jamie, don't move a single muscle a man with blonde hair tied in a bun signed to his deaf niece.

They seemed to have gotten themselves in a sticky situation. Someone close by to them shot a gun which led the walkers right to them.

The man, Conner, and his niece, Jamie both crouched behind the counter of the convenient store they were in. Seems some stragglers weren't so interested in the loud gunshot and decided to go shopping.

Conner peaked over the counter to do a quick head count, his recurve bow drawn with home made wooden arrow resting on the string. He counted 5 walkers There's 5 of them he signed to his niece who was almost too paralyzed to move her head for a simple nod wait here, I'll be back he signed keep your pocket knife ready.

He took a deep breath and pulled back the arrow in his bow. He turned the corner still in a crouch, aimed around the edge of the counter and let one arrow fly. It split a walker in the back of its head, through it's eye. It fell limp. The thud of its body hitting the floor caught the attention of the other walkers. Conner used this moment to reposition. He krept to a nearby food shelf to hide from the moving walkers "4 more" he whispered keeping his eye on the prey.

Toxin hummed as she set up a still working hose to a holding tank filled with a mystery liquid and wheeled it outside ready to spray walkers with it

(also, this RP is with dice roll so when you are in battle or searching for something you need to wait for me to roll a dice of 20 sides for you to know the outcome. Normal zombies have HP of 10 so they should be relatively easy to kill. When you attack a zombie, i will roll the dice. Like this)

Conner leaned back against the shelf taking slow, calming breaths. He pulled the string back, this time 2 arrows held against the string "practice makes perfect" he muttered.

rolled 1d20 and got a natural 17. After the modifier of +3, got 20
Conner's attack move on first walker

rolled 1d12 and got 11

He released the string, both arrows flew through the air with a faint whirr. 2 more zombies had arrows pierce their skull. Their bodies added to the count.

"didn't actually think that was going to work" he was surprised with himself. Maybe it was a fluke? He'd been practicing that for a while but never actually did it on actually targets.

Conner reached over his shoulder for another arrow. He felt 2 left in the quiver. He cussed under his breath, did he really run out that fast?

He decided it was best for him to keep hold of the one he had "I hope one will be enough..." he whispered, readying his combat knife.

Toxin (played anonymously)

She started the music all of the walkers stumbled the direction of the music toxin got the hose ready to spray on full power as they stumbled to her she hummed quietly but she sees your niece in the building "OI KID GET OUT OF THE WAY!" She shouts

Jamie dorsn react to her warning. Without Conner, she'd be dead vy now.

Conner on the other hand turns his attention towards the masked person, aiming his last arrow directly at his mark. The music is almost deafening. What kind of fool plays music this loud at a time like this?!

And then came a feminine screeching from the distance...

"Shit!" he whispered loud through his teeth. He ran around back to Jamie as the last 2 walkers stumbled out of the store towards Toxin. We need to move now, i heard a siren scream he motioned to his niece in sign language, her eyes widen. She knows what follows a Siren scream... A Runner horde...


A green lit indicator a top the hose Toxin held glowed with how much fuel her hose has.

Chance of a tank appearing

Toxin (played anonymously)

The roar of a tank overshadowed the music "Shiite!" She whispered as she dove or the nearest building to hide in as the tank ran down the road raking the hoard of walkers into the road "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck"

Conner took Jaime by the hand and sprinted out of the store.

Conner stopped and stared wide eyed at The Swarm. It crashed into the street like a raging ocean wave. There were hundreds of mutated runners heading towards Toxin, Jamie and Conner.

Conner tore away from his shocked state and sprinted for an alley nearby. Jamie followed at the heels of his feet, glancing back every now and then. In Jamie's world, a world of silence, it made the things she saw terrifying.

She turned the corner but peeked one last time. That's when she saw the beast, Conner heard its overwhelming roar. A roar so powerful it caused your body to shake in fear.

The Tank pierced through the swarm like a bulldozer. A shoder aimed directly for Toxin's speakers.

Conner started the car engine and flashed his lights at Jamie. Without a moment of hesitation, Jamie got into the passenger seat.

As Conner drove out onto the road, he saw the tank obliterate the speakers, tearing out the insides. It's heavy feet crashed into the hose causing liters of mystery fluid to spray out.

Total runners in Swarm(400)
Tank maximum Health Points (300)
Mystery fluid damage points per liter (15 per liter, applies corrosion status effect)

Total tank damage (150, 150 health remaining, negative status effect applied: corrosion. Weak points exposed)
Damage to Swarm (300 runners killed, negative status effect applied to remaining 100: corrosive. Slower movement caused by corrosive)

----

The Tank must be weak becaue its skin seemed to be melting away. The swarm was cut by 3 quarters in size and skin fell off of bone, hitting the ground sizzling as if cooked. He's both disgusted and relieved.

He honked at Toxin. Even though he didn't know her, she needes to get out as much as him and Jamie and he'd be damned if his humanity was destroyed that easily.

She ran to the car and got in "drive! drive!" she put the seat belt on and looked in the back seeing your niece "oh....hi there " she waved
