Realistic or Modern there seems to be a lack of post apocalyptic zombie rps (tlou inspired)

[calamity_]

And i'm here to fix that

Hello! I'm calamity and i'm currently only in one rp which means I shockingly have time to do other things!

I recently finished the last of us, got super into it, and i guess i just want to see if anyone would be interested in a zombie rp? I'm not entirely certain as of right now of any major plot or anything, though i will probably snatch the zombie concept from the last of us. Because i like it :]

If you've got any suggestions or ideas of your own in terms of this, please mention em to me!

 

[enterelysium]

interested! how long after the apocalypse will this be?

 

[calamity_]

I was thinking somewhere around 20-40, years ago. Long enough that there's significant decay, but not long enough that everything is gone, completely

Btw i love your icon

 

[enterelysium]

sounds super fun! im very in, I could help with worldbuilding if you wanted

 

[calamity_]

enterelysium feel free to pm me with any ideas! Id love someone to worldbuild with, its my favorite part of making an rp

Addicted to Coffee excited to have u here!

Also, im open to a co-gm if anyone would like

 

[calamity_]

Probably here, unless enough people preferred discord

Im thinking of adding minor scifi elements, such as robotic exo-suit bits or permenant robotic attachments (think like prosthetics) which, while they can be really helpful, theyre incredibly rare, there's basicay no one left for upkeep of them, and if you're stuck with a immovable piece of metal permenantly attached to you, you're at a severe disadvantage

Hey! If you're still open this seems interesting, lmk if it's closed or not! ^^

 

[PauciloquentPumpkin]

I'm also interested, if there's still room.

 

[calamity_]

This is currently still open, yes! I may close it once people start making characters, but you never know how many people will drop out before things even begin

[PauciloquentPumpkin]

Okie, thanks for letting me know. I'll be awaiting the next steps.

 

[calamity_]

I've got a few ideas of my own but I wanna ask y'all: is there any particular overarching plot or big plot point that y'all would want to see in this?

 

[enterelysium]

maybe there are communities still, but most of them are ruled over by bandit warlords, slaves are common, stuff like that

 

[PauciloquentPumpkin]

I love dark themes. I love being absolutely awful to my characters, making their lives dreadful. I prefer slow, dim-witted zombies. I think fast zombies are silly. They're terrifying enough. Infinite stamina, no sleep, nearly impossible to kill.

I like enterelysium 's idea. It just adds more chances to make my character even more miserable. Human and zombies to worry about. Although I'm not against a humans against the zombies setting either.

 

[enterelysium]

yes, hordes of zombies are cooler, what if the zombies populated most of the ground level so most people live in high rises and stuff now because its safer

 

[PauciloquentPumpkin]

I like that a lot enterelysium . Like on plateaus? This could create safe areas. But we would need reasons to have our characters either go down into danger, or have danger come to them. Maybe have our characters bounty hunters, treasure hunters, scavengers, or traveling to check on family or something? Bandits could help drive us out of towns and into danger as well.

 

[BracedJupiter72]

Maybe they would go down because when this first started, the zombies just filled the ground level and people were forced to go higher. And even though it has been years since it has happened there are way supplies on the ground level than there is where we live. I also like PauciloquentPumpkin idea about the bounty hunter thing

 

[PauciloquentPumpkin]

Good idea BracedJupiter72 . Supply shortages could easily require often trips down below.
