[PBEM News] All Flesh Must Eaten PBEM: The Rise From: nexus@qx-dot-net.no-spam.invalid (nexus) Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 01:09:10 +0000 �And when Hell is full, the Dead shall walk the Earth�� That is what the preachers used to say, but no one believed them. Until it happened. You see it all started with the flu. The Black Flu. First the victims would get what seemed to be bad cold, then recover for a few days then suddenly erupt in black swollen lesions across their bodies then intense fever, shivering and vomiting and eventually death. Millions died across the globe as the vector of the infection was never isolated. Most civilized nations declared martial law but as more and more military and law enforcement personal fell victim to the Black Flu, anarchy reigned. Cities become battlegrounds as looters and plague panic tore civilization apart from within. Now it�s several months later, well over 2/3 of the human population has died either from the plague or the chaos that followed. And the true nightmare has revealed itself. The plague dead has begun to raise, clawing their way out of their crude mass graves and seeking the living. No one knows why or how these walking dead have come to be or what their purpose is beyond bringing death and infecting the living with their taint, those who fall to the walking dead rise as one unless their bodies are burned. Small pockets of humanity now struggle to survive in world that has become a living Hell. �And the Dead shall walk� will be a Survival Horror PBEM set in a Post Apocalyptic inhabited by the walking dead, desperate survivors and perhaps other surprises. The player character will be a small band of humans, trying to escape the seemingly endless hordes of the undead, their �fellow� humans and find some sanctuary, some measure of safety. The campaign will begin in April 2000, in with Player Characters already assembled outside of New York City. Almost any character concept is welcome that would fit into a modern era game. The game system will be Hero System Fifth Edition, but knowledge of the game system is not a requirement. Character creation details will be sent to those interested upon request. This game will include scenes of graphic violence, adult language, themes and possibly sexuality so all players must be 18+. What I am looking for are strong role players, willing to portray �real� people in a desperate situation. Please include a brief writing sample describing a bit of your character background in the months of the plague and the awakening of dead. I will choose from the best of these samples for the core group. The game will use Unisystem's "All Flesh Must be Eaten" role playing game but knowledge of the system is not required,. Please send character descriptions and backgrounds to: nexus@qx.net with the subject [ATDSW] Character submissions should follow this format. Full Name: Preferred Nickname Any alternate identities: Sex: Age: Place of Birth Date of Birth Current Residence: Physical Description: (the one you provided is a fine beginning but please include any affectations, distinctive features, scars, medical conditions or any other quirks of appearance you wish or can think of, including normally coved by clothing, typical style of dress and clothing preferences) Background/History Personality (Psych lims, quirks, preferences and other personality traits) Desires/Dreams Fears/Hatreds: (Mild phobias, things that squick the character, nightmares, etc) Political outlooks: Vices (Do you smoke, over ate, pick your nose, etc) Hobbies/Interests: Favorite things to do, pass times, preferred entertainment, favorite food, etc Sexual Preference: (include kinks, preference for partners, general experience (including when/how virginity was lost, fantasies and �hard limits�) Family: What living relatives do you have.
