SheTheFemale and I were talking about doing an RP along the lines of 'go back in time to nip the living dead in the bud before it's too late', and we thought we'd do it here so some new blood can join if they so choose. We're both very active and avid RPers when we've got some ideas, so I'll make a few things clear.

If you're not going to be active, don't bother joining. We like to move fast when we're on a really good RP kick, and posters who only come around every once in a while tend to get overwhelmed with the speed at which we move. If you join with the intention of being active, that's one thing; if you're unable to for some reason, say something. Seriously, it takes about two seconds to make a post saying, "I can't make it for ___ days, consider my characters off doing something else so they don't hold things up". The only reason I make this point now is because it happens so very often and I'm not fond of it.

If you make Sues, you won't be accepted until you fix them. Everyone has to start somewhere, and if you need help, we can help you. If you don't want to fix 'em, then we don't let you RP in this.

Posting format is the same as the example given in TheFemale's Rules section (who do you think she got the format from? :P).

Feel free to join up if you feel up to it. This should be an interesting story to play around with. Now that I'm done playing the hardass (I'm just getting most of that out of the way in this initial post), I hope we get some takers. I look forward to seeing some characters up for approval soon! Just drop a link to a character created for this RP so we can have a look.

Okay, so, the general structure I had in mind to get things going was to have all our characters start in the compound where they're studying. Now, the idea here is to set them up, get the world established, etc. Just general development stuff. Then there's the whole revelation of time travel and the fact their skills were taught to them for this very fact. Then, once we have them sent back, I'm thinking there'll be possibly two trips back. That much doesn't matter just yet, as I have to take some time and work out the historical details.

What I'm thinking is to tie in the whole 'zombie virus' thing with the Roman invasions of Celtic Europe, as possibly something the druids released as an act of vengeance. How they had it, where they got it, how they contained it, doesn't really matter right now. That's the general framework, specifics can be worked out later.

As to the question about characters, the characters are basically going to be working incognito as best they can. So you can decide what they'll be posing as. But naturally we'll have to try and make the chosen cover stories fit to make it plausible they'd be travelling together.

So, I guess I want to ask WHEN is the compound, rather than where.

The compound is a couple hundred years in the future, or so. Let's say general future for now. The compound scenario is just sort of a starting point. The zombies won't be too prevalent in the the period when the compound exists; at least not to the point where we'll see much of them.

Basically the sequence events will be, pre-time-travelling shenanigans, two zombie outbreaks in the ancient world, the last of which resulted in the zombie virus lying dormant but very much present in the world. Then in somewhere around our RL present, the virus became active again and then the zombie apocalypse ensued. The compound time period will be a hundred to two-hundred years after that, I guess.

So are we dealing with a group of time traveling persons from throughout history kinda thing, or are they all from the future or past?

All from the same time. These would all be students from the compound, trained specifically for the job of going back in time to stop the outbreak. Hence the learning about dead languages, ancient cultures, archaic combat, etc.

Okay, this should be fun. Gunfights can get REALLY boring to RP. This should be fresh.

Alrighty. Looking good. And you're right about gunfights. "Boom. You're dead. Wasn't that rivetting?"
