Thread: Resurgence: Year Zero

This is Audiolog 1, Year Zero, Day 6 Earth has fallen to a virus, an infection that almost wiped out humanity as we knew it. The infection, from what people can gather, kills you in a matter of hours after being affected. Afterwards, it reanimates the body, causing severe hunger for human flesh andor organs. The few that survived the struggle day in and day out, are hoping that one day they'll wake from the nightmare called Year Zero. We, as a species are referring to the End of Days as Year Zero, starting all over. My plan... My plan is to find a save haven, of sorts, and rescue anyone I can and scavenge as much as possible. My Name is Ethan Theodore Price and I will save humanity. The world has been infected. The sky turned dark green then pitch black the night of the outbreak. Survivors have taken on roles and are trying to band together and protect themselves from other survivors and 'zombies'. We, whoever choses to group with me, are searching for a cure or a way to eradicate the infection. Everyone has audiobooks in which they have their audiologs, aka a electronic diary. It isn't necessary to speak in it every day or at all but it is an easy way to clear up any confusion or state facts that might've been confused. The world has ended. Will humanity band together or rip itself apart? THE LITERACY I don't really mind how much you write but there are consquences for writing too little and too much. If your not going to write a lot at least give the person your RPing with something to work with and if you write a lot know that it might take someone awhile to reply as they might have to think of something or might save it for the next day.

What is this word of which you speak? Tech Skills or - your character traits. Max is 10 points. Technicians are superior to all other roles at crafting, modding, and building equipment and structures for the group to utilize. They suffer when it comes to close range combat so a Tech by themself could be an issue. A major plus to any survivor group but not necessary. Melee Combat 3 Gun Prof 5 Medicine 4 ConstructionRepair 8 Scavenging 7 Leadership 3 Cooking 3 Endurance 4 Recon The Recon role is perfect for the groups that are extremely careful where they tread. A mix of both the looter and the sharpshooter, Recon benefits from increased endurance while a little plus to both scavenging and gun profeciency. Recon survivors are extremely silent and agile but they suffer from no possible way of aiding themselves if injured. A nice bonus to have to ensure you group makes it from point A to point Z. Melee Combat 3 Gun Prof 6 Medicine 1 ConstructionRepair 5 Scavenging 6 Leadership 5 Cooking 2 Endurance 7 Commanders Commanders are a must have for any group to function at their fullest. They are the best leaders and cause all members of the group to keep their cool even in stressful or dangerous times. They are good at everything but perfect at nothing. They support their group so they can handle the jobs without fear of an attack. Offers the group a feeling of security so they never freak out. Melee Combat 5 Gun Prof 5 Medicine 4 ConstructionRepair 5 Scavenging 4 Leadership 8 Cooking 4 Endurance 5 Brawler Brawlers solve all their problems with sheer strength. Objects that are heavy or enemies that are a hassle are easily taken care of by the brawler. More prone to being infected because other their skills, Brawlers have become accustomed to using their adrenaline to their advantange, causing them to have heightened reflexes. Though their melee combat is superb brawlers are useless with guns, construction, and cooking. A role that can make many of the tasks found in the world short and easy. Melee Combat 8 Gun Prof 2 Medicine 3 ConstructionRepair 2 Scavenging 5 Leadership 6 Cooking 2 Endurance 7 Sharpshooter The Sharpshooter excels at picking off enemies with the firepower they have found for themselves. With amazing precision, Sharpshooters rarely miss a shot giving them all the time in the world to scavenge or patch themselves or others up. On the other hand, sharpshooters cant handle themselves in melee combat at all and have little intelligence when it comes to construction and repair skills. A solo or support role depending on how you feel about grouping up but either way less taxing for survival purposes. Melee Combat 2 Gun Prof 8 Medicine 7 ConstructionRepair 2 Scavenging 6 Leadership 5 Cooking 2 Endurance 3 Doctor Doctors are like diamonds in this new age. Rare but extremely valuable. Able to heal approximately 99 of all injuries, doctors can save your group even when its close to extinction. Because they are so valued, Doctors have become more comfortable leading others. When Doctors encounter something they havent seen, they have a chance of a medical epiphany, making it easier to fix the problem. With little training in both melee and guns, doctors have the lowest survival rate by themselves. When paired with a Recon survivor or a Chef, it makes living life comfortably a believe task. Melee Combat 1 Gun Prof 1 Medicine 9 ConstructionRepair 4 Scavenging 5 Leadership 6 Cooking 2 Endurance 7 Looter The Looter role is one of the most common yet most important. Scavenging items faster than any other role, Looters bewilder others with their fast searching and backpacks of acquired items. Looters are quick on their feet and have sharp eyes giving them small bonuses to gun, melee, and endurance. Capable of surviving on their own though injuries will be very difficult to deal with. Being in a group allows you first dibs to supplies since Looters gathered most of them anyways. Melee Combat 6 Gun Prof 6 Medicine 4 ConstructionRepair 1 Scavenging 9 Leadership 1 Cooking 2 Endurance 6 Chef Chefs, though unthought of as a role, provide satisfying results. Cooking up trouble by being experts with bladed tools or devising a delicious meal out of scraps, Chefs are excellent at both melee combat and cooking. When making food rather than scavenging old can and eating on th spot, Chefs give themselves and whoever eats their creation bonuses to their roles main skills. A valuable asset to a group, Chefs defend themselves and support the group they are with.
