[LEAVING THE ATLANTA SAFE ZONE] Start time: 6AM GMT, April 7th | End time: 11:59PM GMT, April 9th

Survivor info

It's a long, dangerous road out there, better to be safe than sorry. The survivors leaving each have a pistol of some sort, and one other gun with them. Everybody's got a med kit, just in case, and some food and water. Not much, but enough to make it to the next safe house - Capitol View Manor - about three and a half miles away. Three and a half miles outta five hundred. Well, they gotta start somewhere.

So first off, this is my first time as an admin and I feel like I have not been as organized as I should’ve been for opening day, that’s my fault and I apologize for that.

I’m switching the events (and any other post that I’ll need to include the time in) to GMT. It’s much easier for everybody else, and for me. I'd advise using this place, 'cause it's just real easy to use and see like the other people's times and stuff.

And that leads to my next point, obviously I really didn't take into mind everybody else's timezone (plus Easter Sunday), so the first event has been lengthened till 11:59PM GMT, April 6th. That way everybody's got about another day to a day and a half to get their first intros/starters/etc. out.

[THE DAY BEFORE...] Start: 11PM GMT, April 4th | End: 11:59PM GMT, April 6th

Survivor Info:

This is the day before they leave on their journey to find the cure. The last day of relative safety, the last day in cramped quarters. The group who have volunteered are free from doing supply runs, as they’ll need all their strength for tomorrow.

Uma Knight ✘ The Housewife ✘ 35

"Feet don't fail me now, take me to the finish line - oh my heart it breaks every step that I take."

✘ HISTORY ✘

Uma never thought her life would turn out quite like this. She married her high school sweetheart, Jack Knight, and they had had plans. They wanted to travel the world, to have nothing holding them back from a life of adventure. But during Jack's last year of college, they got pregnant. That was an immediate stop to the majority of their plans, and Uma's working days - Jack wanted her to be a stay-at-home mom, at least for the early years, and she didn't mind. Jack worked and she stayed home with their baby girl. Then came the next child. Two kids and four years later, their plans are down the drain. Uma loves her children, and Jack's making good money, but honestly some days she wants to go back to work, or school, or just something else other than being a housewife.

✘ PRESENT DAY ✘

Of course, now Uma looks back and wishes with her entire being that things could go back to how they were before. Jack had insisted she go with her friend's to Atlanta to have a fun Girls’ Weekend trip. She didn’t have to worry about the kids or the house - Jack had it under control. And now she was stuck here, in the Atlanta safe zone. No one’s willing to take her home to Thomasville, GA., so when the call goes out - they need people to go see if the cure is real - she volunteers. Thomasville is on the way to Orlando, and nothing is stopping Uma from going home.

✘ Weapons ✘

Uma’s pistol of choice is the P220. If she can find it and the ammo, she does prefer a silenced submachine gun over the pistol. For a melee weapon, she likes the machete ‘cause its got a long reach and it’s a heavy-duty weapon.

✘ PERSONALITY ✘

+ communicative, fierce, supportive - bossy, domineering, vengeful

Letha Lily Lyden ✘ The Optimist ✘ 24

"In mountains that are stacked with fear but you’re a king and I’m a lionheart."

✘ HISTORY ✘

Letha lived a semi-normal life with her parents and siblings until she reached the age of twenty when both of her parents mysteriously died and her brother took her and her sister’s inheritance and ran off to France. Letha had dreams of becoming a nurse but unfortunately that didn’t go to plan, without any money Letha had to work two jobs to save for college but the years still weren’t kind to her, she didn’t get enough money to go to college as she had to pay for her younger sister and could only save little amounts.

By four years Letha still didn’t make it to college, she barely had enough money to buy what her sister wanted, Letha was the type of girl who put other’s before herself, something which she had always done, when the zombie apocalypse came Letha didn’t know how to cope but tried to stay strong for her little sister, who she had lost during the apocalypse, Letha still doesn’t know if her little sister is dead or alive.

✘ PRESENT DAY ✘

Letha has become a lot more introverted than what she was before the apocalypse, she refuses to let herself get close to anyone out of fear of loosing them. She can come off quite bossy but that’s only because she wants things to be done as quick as possible and not dragged out however when it comes down to herself she is indecisive and doesn’t like herself to be the sole decision maker. Even though Letha doesn’t like to babied and see’s herself just as anybody else, she suffers from nightmares -when she does sleep and insomnia, she often has to ask the doctors for sleeping pills and more often then not they don’t give them to her. Letha isn’t a fan of going on runs but goes if there’s a person short or somebody asks her out of hope that she may find her sister along the way or dare she say it out loud, her brother. Even though she has only told limited people about her hopes in finding her siblings she usually hides her emotions to avoid being seen as weak in front of the others.

✘ Weapons ✘

Her melee weapon is a Katana, as she finds it easier to kill zombies from a distance rather than with an old knife which she also has just in case of an emergency. Letha doesn’t carry a gun except the pistol she was given with her as she thinks it draws too much attention by the noise it makes.

✘ PERSONALITY ✘

+ affectionate, brave, compassionate

- indecisive, bossy, sarcastic

Cameron James ✘ The Soldier ✘ 36

"Son, we just crossed the street. Let’s not throw a party ‘til we’re out of the city."

✘ HISTORY ✘

Lieutenant Commander Cameron James of the United States Navy never seemed to take a break. Roughly a month ago, Cameron arrived home on shore leave with every intention of spending his time visiting his family, catching up with old friends, maybe releasing some pent up… tension. Unfortunately, the Green Flu threw a nasty wrench into those plans; the day Cameron docked was the same day the flu became breaking news. With more and more people dropping out of contact with each passing day, Cameron wasted no time making his way back home—he had to make sure his own family was safe.

✘ PRESENT DAY ✘

After a fruitless frantic search for his family, Cameron found himself leading a small caravan of survivors to the rumored Atlanta Safe Zone. Even when the group first arrived, Cameron could see how blatantly overcrowded the once proud city was. Past experiences taught Cameron that there is strength and safety in numbers, but not this time. No, this time, it would end bloody for these survivors unless someone could find the cure. When word came that there was even a possible cure in Florida, there was no question in Cameron’s mind where he was headed next. Even if there ends up being nothing out there but undead and false hope, at least there’ll be one less mouth to feed.

✘ Weapons ✘

Cameron’s choice of weapons are a katana and a pair of P220 pistols. Cameron prefers the katana because it’s an elegant weapon that he can wield it with lethal precision.

✘ PERSONALITY ✘

+ careful, level-headed, stoic

- dauntless, rough, obstinate

Jake Sterling ✘ The Pessimist ✘ 24

"And I see nothing. No way out."

✘ HISTORY ✘

Before the world went to hell Jake worked part-time at an old record store while attending university. He went out with his friends a lot in his free time- camping, fishing, hunting. They liked all that junk. They also liked video games and pretentious classic rock groups. He’d only recently gotten himself a flat. He was glad to give his mother a break from worrying about him all the time and rent was decent- especially since it was split with his roommate and best friend, Dave. Things weren’t so bad.

✘ PRESENT DAY ✘

The zombies- they fucked everything up. He was glad he knew his way around a rifle, he supposed. He had that going for him at least. Ever since he’d first laid eyes on one of those grimy, rotten faces he’d wondered what it would be like if he didn’t know how to use a gun- if he’d even be alive. Was being alive even worth it? With things the way they were, the world was shit. Maybe that was why it was such an easy decision. He’d go and try to find “the cure”, or whatever. It wouldn’t do much for the ones with bullets in their heads, but it was an excuse to get out of the safe zone.

✘ Weapons ✘

Preference for crowbar or magnum pistol, silenced submachine gun or hunting rifle or m-16 assault rifle .

✘ PERSONALITY ✘

+ clever, friendly, careful - cynical, anxious,moody
