Left 2 Die

DeletedUser

Hello, Campfire. Before I explain the backstory etc, I should probably state that this ain't yo momma's RP. Dawg. This is what I like to call a "Dungeon Master RP." Basically, while individuals and groups are able to lightly influence the situation, the master (me) really decides what goes on in the game. Don't worry, there's no "Roll for initiative" stuff here, although some of my decisions will be based on my personal die/coin flip. For example, when hordes and specially mutated infected arrive, and hits upon those infected (FE, melée weapons have a higher chance to hit, but a lower chance to incapacitate/slow down those infected)

That was the bones, now for the meat.

As of mid-summer, 2009, an infection called the 'red flu' hits middle America. It is a rabies-like virus, which spreads slowly, and is not an immediate harm to the nation. The Civil Emergency and Defense Agency acts quickly, dispatching agents to classify and combat the disease. Infection is contained for meantime.

Winter 2009. Th virus is still undefeatable and has grown in 'strength.' It spreads faster, with reports ranging from two hours to two minutes. CEDA's hazmat-covered science team falls to the violent cases. Infection begins to seep through the CEDA quarantine as the military desperatley tries to stop the threat.

New Year's day, 2010. The infection grows even stronger, with victims now mutating into super-animals, tearing apart anything that is not them, even with disemboweled limbs. Many CEDA and US Army joint bases and outposts fall to the virus. CEDA is now jokingly named Can't Ever Defend Anything.

Spring, 2010. Infection ravages the country, with few, if any, green zones left. The military and government has begun major evacuations to offshore countries, territories, and Hawaii. LA, New Orleans, and NYC are rumored to still be standing. The rest of the world watches in horror.

And this is where you come in. Somehow, someway, you and a group of survivors missed the military Evac at San Francisco Harbor. Thanks to some maps and crap left behind, you find out that LA is your next best hope. You gather supplies and wait to begin the journey.

Char. Sheet:
Name- Duh.
Age- Duh.
Appearence- Duh.
Backstory- Life before the outbreak, occupation, how you got to San Fran, etc.
Starting Weapon- weapon you managed to scavenge. Can be a 9mm pistol or a melée weapon which uses no outside assistance except your strength (no if's and's or but's.) Please note that you may have only ONE starting weapon.
Snappy One-Liners- Lines you may frequently use in the outbreak. Because every survivor has some.


Notes- The Master dictates where you find supplies, special infected, hordes of infected, etc. Everyone begins with a medkit and a bottle of painkillers.

Name- John Lewis

Snappy One-Liners- Pills here!; I wish there were other worlds than these.

Question....s. Can we start with heavier weapons if we have no ammo for them?
Eg, can we start with empty/low ammo shotguns or rifles, or chainsaws with limited fuel?
And what about body armor and kung-fu action? The character concept I'm thinking has a bit like that.
And what campaign are we doing?
 

DeletedUser

Alright, I'ma gonna get a few things straight:
This is NOT Left 4 Dead, rather a spinoff, meaning we do NO campaigns from the game, although this mimics the basic story arc of Left 4 Dead 2.
And, honestly, body armor ain't gonna help when a frickin' mutated human infected with a virus that makes his body have a very large pain threshold rips it off, or goes for your face. Or 'nads.
Third, I'm trying to make this RP like the starting of most Left 4 Dead campaigns, with limited weapons and ammo. For example, the campaign Dead Center began with an option of dual pistols or a melee weapon.
Fourth, I am sticking strong to my "Pistol or meleeweapons which do not require outside assistance..." statement, like Dead Center. Capiche?

EDIT: And Kung-Fu? Really? Go right ahead, Jimmy Gibs Jr. Good luck killing a zombie, let alone a special infected, with your bear hands. Especially when a boomer comes around.

(Well, we have 4 players, so I'll start the game.)

The helicopters that were supposed to save you fly away as fast as they can in the opposite direction. There has been a change of plans, both for you and CEDA. They, apparently, are saving themselves. You, however, have to hike to the next location where there is even a slight chance of saftey. Right now, it's the Alameda Naval Base, where the helicopter appears to be going. Grab your weapon, get familiar, and move out.

After the helicopter away from the military base, Visca looked around. CEDA seemed busy with his own plans, some ordinary citizens seem taunting and difficult to be approached with a gun they own.

So he started walking, with caution to a destination place, stop awhile to turn back and look at ordinary people who were gathered at the original place, wandering what they wait.

Luna, CEDA is an organzitaion, which left you for dead. Not a person.

John sighed as he watched the last helicopter fly over his head, Break on Through flowing out from the damn things. He waved his fist at the passing helicopters, those who saw him waved back, making John even angrier. After the last helicopter had passed, John got back to work, scrounging on the ground, around a wrecked Black Hawk, searching for a part. He eventually found what he was looking for, and picked up the charred remains of a Browning Hi-Power. Taking it apart, John took the parts he needed, and placed them on his own Hi-Power.

After he was done with that, John saw a couple other useful things on the ground, a medpac and painkillers (that's how John got his other starting items, they're not extras). "Pills, here!" John exclaimed. He quickly grabbed them, and put them in a satchel he found. (it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one) After all this, John started walking in the direction of Los Angeles, hoping to find a working car on the way.

(ouch, ok)

She keep moving to the next spot, Alameda Naval Base. She keep moving going further until there was no one around, alone outside the military headquarters.

"Ok, no one here even a infected" after look around.

Not far from her parked an army jeep, thinking about walking to destination alone makes tired, so she decided to drive the vehicle if it can be used. She grab a katana , with caution and slow pace approached the jeep (by the way how these reflexes on the infected, because I did not play the game, slow or swift?)
