Hey, all. So, I've applied for the role of a leader and I feel like this role needs clear communication when it comes to leadership. I set up a page in Vlad's profile that's for this RP and I'll be copy/pasting it here, so you can get some sense of the guy. If, however, you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer, though as mentioned, I do keep some aspects of him "hidden"(like flaws and weaknesses), so my partners can uncover more about him through rp. I do feel like that's one of the fun things in an RP 
"Before the threat of zombies happened, Vladimir was CIA Paramilitary Officer. His personality and routines are all shaped by his job and his experience on the job. Vladimir seems to be calm and collected, a stoic. Not a man of many words, but with many thoughts. He seems friendly to civilians, but unaproachable. His tactical mind, intelligence, and ability to make split-second decisions have helped him many times to keep himself alive and not fail his missions, remaining calm and calculating even in dire situations.
Due to his job, he is used to working alone. Even after he is no longer a Paramilitary Officer, thoughts that troubled his mind back then are still lingering in his consciousness.
“Who’s watching me?”
“Where’s my nearest exit?”
“Can I trust this source?”
“If this goes bad, no one is coming.”
He is a person to take responsibility for something and tries to do his job as best as possible. As a workaholic, you'll often see him work or go out in the world alone on a job he appointed to himself. The man can take risks, but calculated risks. He doesn't like chaos and will plan everything before heading out, expecting others to do the same - a life is the most valuable thing in this situation. A strong community is built on people, recklessness is not appreciated. Death can be a big hit on a self-sustaining community.
Due to his age, life experience, and job experience, Vladimir is a pretty wise guy. He will often offer advice, help or just try to calm or bring someone's spirit up.
What is known about Vladimir is his past profession, that he was divorced, and that his ex-wife and daughter died soon after the zombie outbreak happened where they lived in another state while he was traveling to get to them as fast as possible.
His biggest regret is not being around his family enough, and prioritizing his demanding job, which led to the divorce. He blames himself for what happened to his family.
Despite everything, Vladimir tries to stay strong and keep the community safe, often neglecting his own needs.
Other aspects of him will be know during the RP. I don't like to lay out everything in my RPs, I like to have some mystery and intrigue, making people wanting more and having fun."

Since my character isn’t specific to this rp, I’ll drop some background here.
Lucas was born and raised in South Dakota out on the Pine Ridge reservation. His growing up was quite a disaster, with plenty of abuse and substance issues surrounding him. Lucas was glad that his parents tried to shield him from the worst of it, but it was damn near impossible to avoid such things.
When he was ten, he had been in his uncles home during an armed standoff with the police. Lucas managed to sneak out of the house through a back window, but was soon shot at by his uncle. They were killed immediately afterwards. Through his adolescent years, he struggled to deal with the trauma from that ordeal, and began to get into trouble. Most of it was breaking into buildings to steal random items. Nothing of which was all that valuable.
Lucas finally decided to get his life together after a DUI arrest in Huntsville, Alabama, or so he thought. As he was dealing though his hangover in his bunk in the county jail, there was a loud commotion towards the front of the building. Shots and screams soon followed, followed by running.
One of the jailers tossed him a pair of keys through the cell window, and had told him to hide out for a while. The sight of a zombie tearing that man apart soon after was more than convincing enough.
Lucas spend his life searching for survivors ever since, finally finding the fortress he now resided at.

Not wanting to give everything away, and since she’s still a work in progress, being so new, Coli has been on her own for the past four months. I’m going to update her character bio and have her underweight at the moment. She has been separated from her brother for the past four months. I might like to introduce him later on and have a possible plot in mind, but I want to establish who and what Coli is, since she’s a new character I created a few days ago.
Coli originally comes from a well-off, middle-class family, with her father being a doctor and her mother a children’s author and illustrator, originally from France, who met and married Coli’s father and moved back to the United States with him. Coli is the youngest of fraternal twins. They both grew up with a lot of love and exposure to the outdoors and sports, but Aidan was the more focused of the two and the apple of their father’s eye, with a desire to pursue a career in sports medicine.
Coli loved everything and spread herself thin, something she’ll still be prone to do. She thought she had finally found her outlet and pursued outdoor and sports recreation at the University of North Alabama, just like her twin. They were on their way back to university with Aidan’s then-girlfriend at the time when the world went to heck.
Aidan and Coli had been separated for four months, and Coli had been trying to survive on her own. She’s avoided trusting or going near other people since the events that took Aidan’s late girlfriend’s life.
I'm also brainstorming as I’m writing this, so nothing is completely set in stone for the moment.
She would meet up with Vladimir’s group, if that’s all right with everyone.

Camila The Drifter
Name: Camila Linares
| Alias: The Drifter
Cam - ill - ah
Age: 31
Gender: Female
RS: Single
Pre Husk Occupation: Mechanic at Linares garage (dealing in stolen parts / custom builds), Off grid survivalist trained by a Paranoid Marine Raider.
Camp Occupation: Guard / Hunter
Cam appears slender at first glance, but she is much stronger than she looks, her lean muscle geared more towards speed and skill over outright strength. Despite that there is a feminine curve to her hips and a fullness to her figure. There is something sinister and menacing to her appearance, not in her clothes themselves but the way she holds herself, the borderline threatening look in her eyes. Cam is always seen wearing shades, her long dark hair tied back at the nape of the neck with thick strands hanging free. Her lower half is generally in cargo pants tucked into well laced combat boots, on her upper half a series of vests and simple shirts covered by a khaki green jacket often with a leather one over the top on colder days. There is always more than one weapon to be seen on her body, but this is the tip of the iceberg, her own paranoia has her packing enough heat for several members of the Farm, not to mention the large dog never far from her side.
Stubborn + Paranoid + Observant + Callous
There is nothing about Cam that says open or friendly, from the moment you meet this surly forbidding woman you get the sense she would rather be anywhere but here, with anyone but you. Despite her isolationist nature and her gruff and rude demeanour there is a loyalty to her that cannot be brought or broken, she shows her friendship in strange ways, appearing when others need her protection or getting food at a crucial moment, she is more likely to take a bullet or bite for you than give you a hug. Cam despises being told what to do or how to do it, she has been surviving alone since long before the outbreak began and her few friends are closer than blood, or were. A life of separation and paranoia has honed her, she watches a room, scours for exits, studies the faces of those around her looking for signs of danger. There are two things Cam always has, a plan of attack, and a clear escape route. She isn't the sort to spill her secrets or listen to your woes, but if she likes you then just maybe she will offer a beer or a moment of quiet contemplation.
There is a lot more to Cam which will come out as she develops through RP, she might lose Thor, might soften and become more integrated into the group or more isolated depending on others interactions with her, her past and some of her more personal traits will come out over time but please feel free to ask if you want to RP with Cam, she is conflict friendly and I am happy to have her butt heads with someone on purpose.

Hunter
Meat on the Linares table was whatever you could hunt yourself, because of this Cam had to learn from a young age how to track, trap, shoot and kill. Be it squirrel, Boar or bigger, from the day her hands were big enough to hold a bow she was out in the woods with her father learning to hunt, and from the day she fired her first arrow she learnt how to field dress her kills. Cams ability to move through her environment comes from the need to remain silent when hunting, especially when hunting the things that fight back. She knows how to read the wind, how to spot the signs of life where there seem to be none, and how to move like a whisper, a crack shot with her lever action rifle or a bow she rarely fails to come home without a solid meal. |
Mechanic
Growing up in a Garage meant learning all their was to know about vehicles, her uncles didn't help her obsession with bikes gifting her the first motorcycle she ever owned, a slightly beat up Rebel 500. Engines speak to Cam, she understands them better than she does people, her motorbikes are like extensions of herself and she can hear their pain when something is wrong. |
Weapons Specialist
Growing up with a paranoid veteran for a father gained her many skills, none of them social, Cam didn't just need to know how to shoot her guns to hunt, but how to maintain them, how to strip and clean them, how to adjust them to they were perfectly scoped in, even how to make bullets, Cam is a crack shot, because anything less than perfect shots under pressure weren't tolerated. |
Survivor
With her fathers ideology about needing to be completely self sufficient and free of society, Cam grew up knowing how to take care of herself, it wasn't just hunting and cars, it was about knowing how to create a clean water source, create your own energy, what plants could hurt and what could help. It wasn't just about knowing how to live though, her father wanted to make sure she could protect herself, the paranoid old kook drilled her like he was her Sargent, he taught her how to fight, how to evade capture, everything skill he thought she would need to survive a world he feared. Cam learnt to be tough, to be strong and to be adaptable, its this edge that kept her in relative comfort, that and the secret she left behind. |
There is a lot more to Cam which will come out as she develops through RP, she might lose Thor, might soften and become more integrated into the group or more isolated depending on others interactions with her, her past and some of her more personal traits will come out over time but please feel free to ask if you want to RP with Cam, she is conflict friendly and I am happy to have her butt heads with someone on purpose.
I’d definitely would love for Cam to interact with Coli, possibly the two of them going hunting together.
Hey all! Darcy's character page is specific to this RP so I don't want to just repeat it all here! That said! My job often leaves me with a lot of downtime, potentially allowing me to reply several times in a day, so if you are eager to do a lot of roleplaying in a shorter amount of time, 1-on-1's with Darcy might do the trick! I'm definitely down! Ideas would be: general conversations, research talk, your OC needs medical attention, chores around the farm. Or any number of things you can think of!
Lucas' info for The Apocalypse is ready. I also added a page in his profile for easy access.
Lucas grew up in an orphanage. At 15, he fell in with the wrong crowd and quickly became skilled at what he did. He wasn’t just selling drugs, he started using them too.
By the time he was 18, his group clashed with another gang. That conflict changed everything. During a confrontation, Lucas shot someone, while his friends killed another. The man Lucas shot survived, but suffered a severe brain injury that left him permanently disabled and unable to care for himself or even speak. Lucas was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. While behind bars, he continued with his illegal actions, but after a time, he found faith in God, though he never found peace within himself. The weight of the lives he’d damaged stayed with him.
After his release, Lucas started over. In time, he became a priest. He took a vow - never to touch a weapon again and never to harm another soul. Even when the apocalypse began, he held onto that vow.
He survived for a while with a small group of people, but they were eventually attacked by bandits. Lucas escaped the massacre, and now he wanders alone, still clinging to his faith, searching for a way to survive in a broken world.
He was charged with:
- Aggravated assault.
- Accomplice to murder.
- Drug offenses and gang involvement.
