The First Sign: Zombies!, Post-Apocalyptic Sign Up Thread Options

[ureniashtram]

No one really knows how it happened.

Almost all of Cyrodiil and the surrounding borderlines were affected by an unknown disease. I knew that this epidemic was nothing we've ever seen. Three months back, the Royal Healers and the Guild of Mages was working on a cure. It was a promise that they never kept. An associate of mine brought me terrible news. Instead of killing this virus, they unknowingly amplified it!

It started in the Imperial City itself.

(the next part of this paper is stained with ink and blood. A sharp eye can detect the words 'died from the disease' and 'tore each other'.)

... so I warn that whoever read this, make haste to Anvil! Ships from (blotched with ink) has arrived and is ferrying those fortunate to a safe place!

May the Nine give us strength in these times of bereavement,

Courier Ra'Jhibus.

------------------------

Another 'Cyrodiil-is-doomed' RP. Only this time though, no major wars have ensued.

So here's the deal (I'm going to leave some spoilers hidden, because I don't wanna spoil it to those who joins and hey, it causes some anxiety and curiousity right?);

The Empire is struck with an epidemic. It was so powerful, thousands were put to the grave. The Mages Guild and the Royal Healers joined hand-in-hand to combat tis threat before it can do further damage. However, instead of finding a cure by studying the plague, they accidentally created a CURE THAT AMPLIFIES the DISEASE. Oblivious, the citizens of the Empire bought the cure and guess what?

They died and .. Y'know. Arose from death and killed the living. The Zombies now roams the forests of Cyrod in overwhelming numbers, hunting down those who survived.

Some survivors that fortunately did not buy the 'cure', rallied to each other and sent requests of help from the other provinces. (Spoilerish) sent ships in Anvil to ferry the survivors to their homeland.

But a handful of survivors believed that other survivors are trapped in other cities, needing of aid. So they sent fast-footed couriers on horses guarded by surviving Legionnaires, also on horses, to the other cities.

What remains to be seen is IF there are other survivors who received the letters of aid.

Hey, this is cool! I'm up for it!

Name: Iris
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Race: Wood Elf

Appearance: Short Pixie-cut blood red hair, Black eyes, very short (smaller than male wood elf, so, like, tiny), sure-pale skin, pointy teeth (thought you never notice unless you have the misfortune to be bitten by them), lots of scars, the most notable of them is one that goes across her left eye and meets with her mouth. Never smiles, usually has a sneer or a grimace playing on her face, eyes are usually narrowed in suspicion and/or dislike.

Personality: Immoral, clever, and wanting revenge for various unknown things, she has no friends, alies or people she trusts. Kills constantly, though not a member of the dark brotherhood. However, she is known for mood changes (and though many of them result in death, this newest one might not) and does have a nicer side, although she has never admitted it to anyone, esp. herself.

Surviving skills: Good at killing pretty much anything, except spiders, which she really really hates. Best at killing people/zombies by bow and arrow or sword. Okay with the spear, but not as lethal. Born under the sign of the Serpent, so when she bites people (which is often) they die pretty much immediatly. Unknown whether talent works on zombies.

Helpful talents: Good at sneak, athletics, acrobatics, marksmanship, security, blade.

History and Background: Iris was born as she was. She never grew taller, smarter, more lethal, or better at anything. She was born looking like she is now, too. And once she was born, she left her house (which at the time she thought to be an imprisonment), and ran off to go kill people. She's very odd.

It is when she is in the Imperial City that she finds out about the zombies. While she was looking for a bit of bread on one of her victems, one of them rises up and begins to try to kill her. She tears it downs, of course, but then all the others rise up too. It is then that she knows of the terrible zombie epidemic...
