New zombie story

Domovoi

THIS DOES NOT DISPLACE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE STORY. This story will begin in about 1 week when the zombie apocalypse story ends. This is an extension of that story, and I am your narrator. Sgt. Hammer and I have been discussing it for quite some time, and we are just about ready to go.

This story is similar in form and function to the other story except for a few slight changes.

Change #1 I am the narrator, but I will not be posting from a third person point of view, I will be in the story with characters like the rest of you.

Change #2 There is magic, however, you may not use a magical character without first clearing it with me, and each new ability must also be cleared with me first. I will tell you if you're clear, do not simply notify me of a change in a magical character. Understand that I am trying to keep everyone on a relatively equal playing field.

Change #3 We will not be using odd zombie creations. Zombies are dead people who have been raised by a necromancer or ghoulcaller. They can wield weapons and wear minimal armor. In large numbers they are quite formidable.

A few notes

1) please try to be as realistic as you fantastically can. So for example instead of saying, "My character is bored and goes off and kills a thousand zombies, before coming in for afternoon tea without a scratch on him" you could say, "My character is bored and goes out to try and take on a thousand zombies single handed. After zombie number 23 my guy realizes this isn't a good pass time and stumbles desperately for the castle-and afternoon tea-with the other 967 zombies in hot pursuit." I hope this will facilitate a bit more teamwork from the players.

2) The prompt which will be posted later encourages players to be lords of castles or other important persons. If you wish to be a mage please contact me. If you wish to be on the enemy side please contact me. Otherwise please feel free to post your desired characters and a bit about them here. We will begin in about a week.

3) Each player may have 1 main character. If you would like another ask me, but preferably just one. And then you can have 2 or 3 minor characters.
Thank you and have a nice break.

My character:
ok, my character is Link from legend of zelda, he has the hyrulian shield and the master sword. the master sword is about a 25-inch blade and a 9-inch handle. Link is about 5 feet 11 inches and weighs about 165 pounds by estimation. Link has no Magic though the Master sword is the best sword in the world.

He is very calm,and has an excellent poker-face,he rarely shows any expression.Hanzolo once was very joyful and cheerful,but after the massacre of his village,he has become very withdran and quiet.Hanzolo is very light on his feet,and moves through the woods very swiftly.He has no magic powers at all,and despises magic,for it gives a great advantage to those who can use it(hint) (hint).

Hanzolo was also good friends with Avalon once,though he hasnt seen him in many years

Slochk, descendent of Jon is a ruffian and has been thrown out of many castles, bars, and taverns in his short life of about twenty seven years. He is not sure of his age, he was left on the doorstep of his uncle's castle. He has a splendid beard that is two feet long, has long hair, about shoulder length, which is black in color. His face is scarred from all the fights he has been in, and his skin is tan. The only color he wears is black, and his families flag is simply black with a silver griffin on it. Slochk carries an ax he carries on his back, which has been passed down through the generations, and once belonged to Jon, a hand and a half sword on his left hip, and a short sword on his right hip. He wears chainmail under his black cloak, and leather boots. Slochk is easily angered, and often ends up in fights because of it.

Well then, for any who read through the whole of the first Zombie game, my main character will be the direct descendant of Lupo, who's name will be Xiuhcoatl, which means Weapon of Destruction in Nahautl. After his great, great grandfather (Lupo) guided his people (Aztecs) in a mass exodus away from the Empire continent to a new world (think South America and Mexico) across the Western Ocean they established the new Aztec Civilization.

Free from the fear they used to live in from the people of the Empire Continent, they expanded the Aztec civilazation and either conquered or absorbed other cultures they encountered throughout all of South America.

The Aztecs learned of metal working and other advanced technologies from the multi-cultural warrior class of the Skull Knights who integrated themselves into Aztec society alongside their full Aztec leader, Lupo.

The Skull Knights were originally members of the military on the Empire continent that chose to follow Lupo and join the Aztecs and live alongside them. The original 20 Skull Knights were the only 20 soldiers out of Lupo's whole Branded Army that could best him in one on one combat.

Being born into this warrior class of the Aztec society, Xiu (for short) has been trained in the crucible of war and conquest ever since he could stand, with his training becoming steadily more and more intense as the years wore on. Currently, he is around 24 years old. He is around 7 feet, 4 inches in height while he is just as strong if not stronger than even Lupo in his prime (which is like crazy strong). Due to the intensity of his lifelong training, his body has grown into more or less a battle scarred callous, allowing him to withstand extraordinary amounts of pain and shrug off damage that would cripple lesser warriors. Due to his strength and size he is slower than others, often watching their backs while on the move.

His main weapon will be Lupo's Cestus' (think medieval aged full metal boxing gloves) made from the metal of a fallen star. This mysterious metal is denser and stronger than diamond, allowing him to be able to use his strength in addition to the Cestus to be able to pummel his way through almost anything he encounters, whether it's castle walls or if the situation calls for it to tunnel through the ground itself although either activity will take time to do so. He will also make use of a scaled down version of the Executioner Majini's axe off of the Resident Evil series with the addition of a large spike at the top that will allow the weapon to be used as a spear as well as a two handed axe and two handed hammer. As befits someone like him, he wears heavy armor all around minus a helmet.

During his time spent in the Aztec Army he has befriended two individuals within it's ranks.

One of them is Coyotl (Coyote), a shockingly fast shorter man (about 5'7) who is part of the Jaguar warrior class who fights using a variant of the Cestus which instead of being used to punch and hammer his enemies, the points of the fingers have been filed down and sharpened to strong claws allowing him to scale walls and slice enemies and for larger confrontations uses a pair of short swords. He is a mediocre shot over long distances with a bow, but using a traditional sling to throw stones over a distance he greatly improves his ranged efficieny and, if he has to, can use the sling as a whip or a club during a close quarters fight or for silent takedowns. Coyotl wears light cloth armor, depending on his speed and reflexes to help him avoid any major damage to his own body.

The other of Xiu's friends is a female Aztec warrior named Metzli (Moon) who has spent most of her life as a warrior alongside Xiuhcoatl and Coyotl. She is around 6'3 and is armed with a halberd and two sabers depending on the current situation as well as a short bow. For armor she prefers simple chainmail, preferring it because of it being a nice median between the heavier plate mail that Xiu uses and the lighter cloth armor that Coyotl uses.

As of late, the three of them have become disenchanted with war and battle and have begun wanting something more peaceful for their lives and for the lives of their other friends in the army. In light of this, they will often act on their own until they learn to trust others around them. The whole idea is that at the first given opporotunity, they will gather up their other friends and all of them leave together to establish a homestead of sorts away from all the worries of the world. A simple dream, considering the events that will envelop the world pretty soon.
Xiu and Metzli have relations while Coyotl is almost never interested in things other than being aware of his surroundings, isolating himself from his two friends most of the time.

I expect due to the differences in culture, everyone who's character is outside the culture of the Aztecs may distrust the trio while the three of them will distrust most foreigners and keep to themselves even if they do join a group of survivors. Throughout the game more of their story may be fleshed out, but only after I clear it with Domovoi. It'll get interesting if it does get cleared between the two of us. I promise.

Currently they are crossing the Western Ocean in the company of 75 Skull Knights on their way to the Empire continent where everyone else has their characters. The Skull Knights happen to also be their friends that they had been planning on running away with to start their "New Utopia". Once they land the Skull Knights that accompanied them will stay with their ship while the trio set off alone to meet up with the others. It is no coincidence that they just happen to be coming to the Kingdom. At first they are sent to reintroduce the Aztecs to the rest of the world, sort of open diplomatic talks between the Aztecs and the people of the Empire continent but then they weren't counting on zombies of all things.

Basically, think of him like a tank of the classic rpg class system. As part of the Aztec culture and their practice of sacrificing their enemies hearts, he has had his own teeth filed down to sharp strong points that allow him to devour enemies either after or during a battle. So he's also a selective cannibal who's diet is cut down to mostly meat. I expect due to the differences in culture, everyone who's character is outside the culture of the Aztecs may distrust him while he will distrust most foreigners. Throughout the story more of his own personal story will be fleshed out, but only after I clear it with Domovoi. It'll get interesting. I promise.

seriously? Jon lived at the same time as Lupo, now I am going to have to change his name.

Sgt. Hammer

It's a part of the plot line that these new zombie outbreaks occur like 200 years after the events of the first.

JonBerserk7 (US1)

yeah, i changed it. just took my character's name from Oblivion. he looks like a dinosaur.

da ender

So when exactly does this start? My clocks and things are a little off and the end of a "day" on my forum thing change times through the days

JonBerserk7 (US1)

starts as soon as the other one ends, which will be in 6 days now? or is it down to 5?

Domovoi

They all look good except for a few slight changes

SWAG

We don't have any elves in this game, however, I completely adore Link as well, so how about this. His name is Link, he is extremely quick with high dexterity. He is a decent shot, and an excellent swordsman. He is a ranger. He wears an olive green cowled cloak, and has expertise in nature.

What do you think?

SGT. HAMMER

I am totally for the idea of a second Lupo, but let's tone it down a bit. The Aztecs were not Cannibalistic, they were actually farmers as well as warriors. We won't be having any more of that kind of savagery got it? As for busting through walls, sure, but it should take some effort, I mean seriously, castle walls are made to take trebuche stones. Work with me here. Additionally he can't dig a tunnel by bunching the ground it's much too elastic he would end up hitting himself in the face if he hit it hard enough. He's ridiculously ripped and can dig a tunnel in a couple of days.

How's that?

JON

I think it's 6 now. Tell you what. We'll start on Friday afternoon Eastern time.

JonBerserk7 (US1)

can i have some minimal magical powers like i put at the very end of my character's description?

da ender

morning or afternoon? I'm American central time so i'm clueless.

JonBerserk7 (US1)

that is east coast time da ender, so domovoi is an hour ahead of us

Domovoi

I've pmed it to you

Sgt. Hammer

Got it Domovoi. Sort of figured every group has a strong person.

Elfangor

I'm going to play, but I won't post a Character Bio until the "story" has started. I don't want to create someone that doesn't really fit in.

Will you (Dom) be doing Challenges and Attributes like I (sorta) did?

What exactly is the setting? Have there been any technological improvements during the 200 years that will take place after the First Story?

The First Story won't end until the 29th (Saturday). Why not start this "New Story" next Monday?

Domovoi

Monday would probably be better. I have a lot going on over break (research paper) (relatives) etc. You said we had 7 days to defeat the source, but you didn't say it HAD to take 7 days.

I'll post the prompt now if everyone would like me to. I just wanted folks to make characters first so they wouldn't be too overblown-or at least there would be less chance of ridiculous characters. We all slip into that, no worries.

Sgt. Hammer

Me more than others.

Elfangor

You can't really post the prompt now can you? The First Story hasn't been finished! You don't know who/what the Source is, and you don't know what will happen if the Source is defeated.
