Shoot 'Em In The Head Character Application
Character you would like to play: Matt
Original Character or Established? (If established, please state what medium your character first appeared in): Original
Basic history of the character up until this point: A newspaper reporter who lives on the Georgia/South Carolina border, Matt has managed to survive through the outbreak in his hometown in South Carolina. A week after the outbreak word begins to filter out that Atlanta is a safe haven for the survivors. Hearing that, Matt packs up gear and ventures across the river to Georgia and Atlanta.
Character's Skills: Never a big hunter, Matt does know his way around guns and knows how to use them. An avid reader, he has a lot of general knowledge on many different subjects.
Character's Items: A backpack filled with bottled water, canned food, and a few packs of Gummie Bears. He also has a .20 gauge shotgun with half a box of shells and a .22 pistol with twelve rounds.
Why Have You Chosen That Character?: Like Cat's character, I wanted a character to counter-balance Tallahassee. While he's a badass when it comes to Zombie killing, my guy is a survivor scared ****less and a bad shot. To sum it up, he's me. And since he's based in the south, it'll be a good chance to meet up with a certain southern lawman.
Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG : Decent RPer who knows his stuff. And I started this RPG, ****s!
Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in:
Athens, GA
70 Miles to Atlanta
"Hey," the man sitting in the bleachers says. I look up from the forty yard line and see the rifle aimed at me. "You're not one of them," he says as he lowers his gun. This is the last time I'll probably ever be here, so I took the chance to stop by and see Sanford Stadium, where UGA plays.
"I know you, don't I?"
He nods as I climb walk up the steps into the stands. "I'm Curtis Green."
"That's right. Wide receiver. All-American, All-SEC."
"I was," he says with a sigh. "Before all this **** happened."
I sit down on a bleacher across the aisle from him and sling off my backpack.
"You from Athens?"
"South Carolina. I'm on my way to Atlanta."
"Yeah. Lot of folks been coming through Athens on their way to Atlanta."
I open up my pack and pull out a can of roast beef and a manual can opener. "Want some?"
He shakes his head and I pop open the can full of brown meat. "You should come to Atlanta, too," I say between bites. "The CDC has their main hub in Atlanta."
"CDC?"
"Center for Disease Control. If anyone has a handle on what the hell is going on, it's them."
"I don't know, man. Long way to walk."
"We could always take a car. Hit the interstate and just swap cars when we get to pile up. That's how I've been going through SC and Georgia."
"But what if we get to Atlanta and there ain't no refuge. It's just more of....them."
I pause for a long second, chewing the last of my roast beef. "If that's the case....then we're truly ****ed."

Bah, all you people playing characters from recent movies and games. I'm gonna have to bust one out old-school, show ya how it's done.
Character you would like to play: Dr. Matthew Logan
Original Character or Established? (If established, please state what medium your character first appeared in): Established. First appeared in George A. Romero's Day of the Dead.
Basic history of the character up until this point:
Dr. Logan has spent most of his life as a gifted, if somewhat eccentric, pathologist, dedicating his life to the study and diagnosis of disease. Gaining acclaim in his field, Logan became a fixture within the Center for Disease Control, studying the behavior and symptoms of bacteria, viruses, and parasitic organisms, as well as how to treat them.
When news broke of the mysterious incidents involving people resurrecting as mindless cannibals, Dr. Logan was one of many contacted by the CDC to investigate. Hidden away in an abandoned missile silo in southern Florida, protected by heavily armed soldiers led by the grim and somewhat suspicious Captain Rhodes, Logan has been placed under strict orders to find out as much as he can about what has caused the dead to rise.
As the world outside collapses into chaos, Dr. Logan works away in his lab, gathering specimens when he can, dissecting them, seeing how they work, and how (or if) the disease can be cured. However, as he grows increasingly fascinated with his specimens, his goals have shifted somewhat. Although the government wants to know the best way the creatures can be killed, Dr. Logan has started to experiment on if they can be trained as well.....
Character's Skills:
Logan possesses a keen intellect, particularly in the field of microbiology, and is an expert surgeon. Unfortunately, he is not much of a fighter, so he has to rely primarily on Captain Rhodes and his troops to provide protection and gather specimens for him.
Character's Items:
Dr. Logan's laboratory contains vast amounts of genetic samples of the infected, both living and otherwise, as well as a full array of surgical equipment, chemistry sets, and most importantly, one of the only remaining working phones on the planet, with a direct line to the Pentagon.
Outside of that, his facility is stocked with enough rations to last for years, and enough heavy weaponry to fight off a legion of the flesh-eating creatures. However, all of that is closely and strictly supervised by Captain Rhodes.
Why Have You Chosen That Character?:
For one, because you just can't have a zombie horror game without a mad scientist involved. Someone who actually wants to know how the undead work, and if there are ways to interact with them beyond kill-or-be-killed, can lead to all sorts of creepy territory, especially if the survivors run across his compound.
Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG :
A love for creepy weird horror games, and an antagonist who's not just a cut-and-dry villain. Also, an actual Romero character instead of all y'all wannabes.
Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in:
"Doctor Logan," Captain Rhodes barks as he barges into my laboratory, "We need to talk, now."
"In a moment, yes, of course," I say, trying to shoo him away as I work. "I'm almost finished here; this is an absolutely astonishing discovery."
I put down my scalpel and step away from the operating table, gesturing to the specimen on the slab. It's one of the dead people--male caucasian, probably in his late twenties pre-mortem. His right arm was mangled, wounds indicating it was gnawed heavily before the man bled to death.
He used to have blonde hair and a slight beard, before I cut away his face. All morning and most of the afternoon I have been removing tissue and bone, getting directly to the core of where the infection thrives: the brain. Now all that is left above the neck is the brain stem and cerebellum jutting up from a bloody stump, the frontal lobes and cerebral cortex meticulously removed.....and still the body writhes against its constraints.
"Remarkable, isn't it?" I say, with a little bit of awe. "The pathogen that sustains the body after death can survive and control the host organism even after such incredible trauma. Even with the vast majority of the brain removed, as long as the cerebellum and stem survive, it can continue use of its basic motor functions."
"So in other words, you've found where to aim," Captain Rhodes says with entirely the wrong kind of interest.
"I'm afraid that after such extensive amputations, this specimen will no longer be useful for further study, however," I say, disappointed as I look down on it. "Have your men acquired any new specimens today?"
"That's specifically what I wanted to talk to you about," Rhodes answers grimly. "We went out into the field hoping to pick up a few stragglers, wandering around on their own like they usually do. Instead, we ran into a goddamn herd of them. Hundreds of them. I lost three of my men trying to get away."
"I'm sorry to hear that," I console him. "But....did you...?"
"Yes, I was able to bring in four of them before having to fall back behind the perimeter. Five now....Richards was bitten while climbing over the fence. We corralled him with the others, like our orders say."
"He won't have died in vain, Captain," I say to try and make up for it. "The work we're doing here may very well be the key to saving our species. Everyone who's given their lives to continue the research is a hero."
Rhodes gives me a cold look, but says nothing.
"Now then, I believe it's time to make my rounds of the behavioral study chambers. Would you like to see how Bub is doing today?"

Shoot 'Em In The Head Character Application
Character you would like to play: Marcus Vincent
Original Character or Established? (If established, please state what medium your character first appeared in): Original
Basic history of the character up until this point: Marcus grew up in a nice middle class neighborhood just outside of Boston. His mother was an office manager and his father was a cop with over 20 years on the force. He had lived a pretty unremarkable life up until he was about 14 when everything changed. He came home from football practice one October evening to find police cruisers parked in front of his house, along with news vans and nearly everyone from his neighborhood gathered around trying to see what was going on. He arrived to the police line just in time to see the bodies of his mother and older sister being loaded into the coroner's van. His father's cruiser was found several hours later, riddled with bullet holes, his father's corpse was inside. Later, he learned that the death of his family was a retaliation for an arrest his father had made several years prior.
After the death of his family, everything changed for Marcus, he went from foster home to foster home, never staying in one place too long. The various families all said the same thing, he was just impossible to deal with. He stopped going to school and began hanging out with a bad crowd. This is when he started getting into trouble. He was constantly getting arrested for getting into fights and various other offense, though generally they were usually pretty minor. Until, at the age of 20, he broke into a pawn shop with acouple of friends with the intention of robbing it. He did not know that the owner was there late doing inventory and heard them come in through a rear window. The man came at them with a shotgun to try and scare them off, but Marcus shot the man with a .45 revolver, killing him. He had been in jail for 12 years when the outbreak started.
Character's Skills: Marcus spent more than half of his life on the streets. During that time, he has developed a very specific set of skills.He knows how to get whatever it is that he needs to survive, whether doing so is legally or morally right or not. He is an expert when it comes to hotwiring just about any vehicle. He is an excellent marksman but is also handy with other items, actually prefering a machete to a gun, because as he says, "a machete don't run out of bullets."
Character's Items: Marcus drives a black Dodge Charger. He carries several high powered rifles, 2 shotguns and several pistols. Also, he has a machete, buck knife and several smaller knives.
Why Have You Chosen That Character?: This is a character who I think will pose a bit of a challenge to me as he is different from the characters I typically choose to play, and I think he would fit in perfectly with this game. I think it will be interesting to see how he develops as a character as the game moves on.
Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG : An experienced rper in several of the other games currently being played on the Hype. Also, someone who is extremely dedicated to whatever game he is in...and twinkies.
Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in:
I make my way through the darkened cell block, and I find it almost funny that for the first time in 12 years, I think I'd rather be stuck in my cell. When I woke up on my cot, and found the door to my cell open, I couldn't believe my luck. It seemed that all my prayers had been answered, I finally had an opportunity to get out of this hell...and with any luck, I just might see the outside world after all.
It didn't take long for me to realize that I was stepping out into salvation...but into my own personal hell.
Something just isn't right. Not only did someone open my cell door...but the entire prison is quiet. Too quiet. Even in the middle of the night, there are noises in a prison...hushed whispers, angry screams...grown men weeping because they have lost the will to live...or possibly their "jailhouse virginity." The silence is deafening.
I continue my trek from the cell block out to the corridor that leads into the main complex itself. I find myself looking for someone...another prisoner, a guard...anyone who can tell me what the hell is going on. But there is no one here. I'm all alone in this place, and for the first time in years, I'm scared to death. I long for the safety of my 10x10 cell...for the sanctuary of those same iron bars that I've cursed every single day for the last 12 years....but somehow I know that going back now would lead to certain death. So I continue on, into fear and uncertainty.
A strange scent reaches my nostrils as I make my way to the guard station, something that I can't quite place. As I make my way past the station, I put my hand down on the counter, and it touches something wet...and warm. I don't have to look to know what it is, but I venture a glance at the counter anyhow, and my suspicions are confirmed.
Blood...and it's relatively fresh.
Did Omar finally do it? He's been talking about busting out of here for weeks, said he had a plan...Could he...?
I hear the sound of footsteps behind me. I turn to face whoever it is and find out just what the hell is going on. I see the familiar form of one of the guards making his way toward me. His name is Woody, he's one of the few decent guys in this place, on either side of the bars. For the most part I like him, he's respectful and is always quick with a joke. But as he gets closer, I see that there is something wrong with him. He's hurt, the blood on his uniform and the way he staggers toward me is a dead giveaway.
"Woody? You alright pal?" I ask.
Then he lifts his head to look at me, and nothing in the world could have prepared me for what I see. His lower jaw is missing, as if something had torn it clean off....and his eyes...dead eyes, clouded over and white like a dead frog's eyes. I jump back with a start, and that's when Woody, the only friends I've had in 12 years in this hell hole reaches out for me, trying to get his cold hands around my neck.
Hands suddenly grab my shoulder, and I jump up, hitting my head against the driver's side window of my black Dodge Charger. I look around the inside of my car, seeing the two kids I picked up outside of Denver, Blake and Kirsten, staring back at me.
"The dream again?" Kirsten asks, worry showing on her pretty face.
"Yeah. Let's get out of here. Don't want to stay in one place for too long." I say as I turn the key in the ignition and drive off, not knowing where I'm going...just me, acouple of college kids, and a trunk full of guns.

Character you would like to play: Veronica "V-H" Holland
Original Character or Established? (If established, please state what medium your character first appeared in): Original
Basic history of the character up until this point: Veronica was a tomboy who grew up in a small town in Arizona named Grantham Falls where her father was the sheriff of Dunbar County. She enlisted in the Army to escape the small town, and became an Army Ranger. Once she got out of the Army she used the money from her G-I Bill to go to the University of Arizona where she studied Criminal Justice. She then went back to Dunbar County with the intention of being a Deputy, however she noticed her father's mind was going but he had been the Sheriff for so long no one dared to go against him. Veronica ran against her father for the position of Sheriff and won. Her father vowed to never speak to her again. The "plague" errupted and the police and local malita and others tried to hold the line at the county line but they were overrun (and the sample post will pick up there).
Character's Skills: Veronica is an expert with firearms, knives and explosives. She also knows how to survive on her own.
Character's Items: A Chevy Tahoe. A back-pack (with a rope, a jacket and sleeping bag, basic food and water needs, a Blackberry, flashlight, a lap-top) 2 sawed-off shotguns (with shells), 2 45 auto-mags (with ammo), a lead pipe, a crate of grenades, a survival knife and a kevlar out fit,.
Why Have You Chosen That Character?: I played a character similar to her in the last Zombie RPG, but I didn't want to just do a re-hash of him so I made some changes. V-H doesn't have all the answers and only has two over-riding goals concerning the latest situation. Survive and to help those she comes across. V-H feels like she failed at her job protecting the people of Dunbar and she is out of redemption.
Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG :
1) I've been playing RPGS for over 30 years 2) I've played with a lot of the people in this RPG and I've always enjoyed it.
Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in:
Veroinca looks at the gathering in her office. There is Henry White the town commissioner and Clem Hawkins & Malcolm Edwards two leaders within the town.
Henry says, "Sheriff Holland you just heard on the radio they didn't hold they didn't hold the line. We have talked to the local shop owners and they all signed the petition. All it needs is your authorization now you said if the line fell and everyone signed off on it you would go along with our plan."
Veronica shakes her head and says, "I still can't believe I'm doing this, but I gave my word."She signs the petition without looking and says with disdain, "I think that will cover it."
Malcolm says, "Look V-H we don't like this anymore than you do, but I remember when I was coaching the high-school team that there were times when I had to pull the starters in a blow-out when they wanted to stay in and fight. I did it because I saw the big picture."
Veronica nods and says, "Yeah sure I feel like I'm not keeping up my oath though."
Henry tosses Veronica one of her law books and says, "Turn to the page that shows you how in the world to deal with this situation, and we'll follow you. Face it Veronica this is something more than just Dewey and his boys getting liqured up on a full-moon Friday night and shooting up main-street. The local malitia, State Cops, and Reserves couldn't do it what makes you think you can do better?"
Henry looks around and says, "All-right let's go tell everyone they got 5 minutes in each store to raid the shelves for essentials only and high-tail it out of here. This town is offically out of business and it's every family for themselves. According to the tracking they'll be here in about 3 hours I suggest we get moving and God be with us all."
The 3 men start to leave and Clem says, "I'll catch up in a minute."
Clem closes the door and Veronica says, "So are you here to say that I screwed up and my father wouldn't have done this? Clem you've been my biggest critic since day one and you're not gonna miss your chance to say I told ya so Are you?".
Clem hands her a note and says, "For what it's worth I'm sorry. Your father and I were like brothers and it was hard to watch what happened to him and the whole campagain against him, but in the end you really were just as good as your father. Better in some ways not as good in others but overall you really did know what you were doing. My family and I felt safe when you were in charge of this office."
He shakes his head smirking and says, "Yeah you proved me wrong. Congrats on that."
Clem takes a deep breath and pulls out an envelope.
He says, "You should know I visited your father the day before he died and he gave me this envelope to give to you on your wedding day. Well this seems as good a time as any."
He hands it to her and as he leaves Veronica says, "God Bless you Clem and thank you."
Clem turns to her and says, "You too" He nods his head and says "Sheriff."
He leaves as Veronica opens the envelope out falls a picture of her being sworn in as the Sheriff. On the back is a note written that says: "My beloved Daughter. This is one of the proudest moments of my life. I am sorry I can't be there and that my pride drove us apart. I've always been proud of you and loved you. Be happy. Love Dad."
Veronica wipes a tear away and leaves her office. She then heads to the armory in the basement and begins loading muntions in her Tahoe
If everyone else can do a grab and dash so can I.
She then goes back to her house and grabs some more supplies. After that she stops by her father's grave. Veronica takes her badge out of her jacket and places it on her father's headstone.
She says, "I love you dad, and I'm sorry too. I've heard reports already of other people fighting these things from various online sources. I may no longer be the Sheriff here, but I promise you this I will do everything I can to help those I meet along the way. I will still execute justice and defend others I swear."
Veronica leans down and kisses her father's headstone and says, "Goodbye Dad. I love you."
She gets in her Tahoe and drives off West.

Your father and I were like brothers and it was hard to watch what happened to him and the whole campagain against him, but in the end you really were just as good as your father. Better in some ways not as good in others but overall you really did know what you were doing. My family and I felt safe when you were in charge of this office."
He shakes his head smirking and says, "Yeah you proved me wrong. Congrats on that."
Clem takes a deep breath and pulls out an envelope.
He says, "You should know I visited your father the day before he died and he gave me this envelope to give to you on your wedding day. Well this seems as good a time as any."
He hands it to her and as he leaves Veronica says, "God Bless you Clem and thank you."
Clem turns to her and says, "You too" He nods his head and says "Sheriff."
He leaves as Veronica opens the envelope out falls a picture of her being sworn in as the Sheriff. On the back is a note written that says: "My beloved Daughter. This is one of the proudest moments of my life. I am sorry I can't be there and that my pride drove us apart. I've always been proud of you and loved you. Be happy. Love Dad."
Veronica wipes a tear away and leaves her office. She then heads to the armory in the basement and begins loading muntions in her Tahoe
If everyone else can do a grab and dash so can I.
She then goes back to her house and grabs some more supplies. After that she stops by her father's grave. Veronica takes her badge out of her jacket and places it on her father's headstone.
She says, "I love you dad, and I'm sorry too. I've heard reports already of other people fighting these things from various online sources. I may no longer be the Sheriff here, but I promise you this I will do everything I can to help those I meet along the way. I will still execute justice and defend others I swear."
Veronica leans down and kisses her father's headstone and says, "Goodbye Dad. I love you."
She gets in her Tahoe and drives off West.

[FONT="]I walk behind the rest of the group because of my knee injury; we stay close, but not too close. Shotgun is tight in my grip but not too tight, its fully loaded since we arrived in town via crashed helicopter ain't seen any infected, not sure if that’s an entirely good thing or not. I’m leaning towards good, always looking on the bright side, maybe they moved on from this little no name town? Of course they might have horded together too, and we will just have to unload all the ammo we got into them. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Nick and Rochelle are up front leading, weapons leveled; Ellis is about 4 steps infront of me. He says something about it being dark and spooky, and I retort with something about him being scared of the dark. [/FONT]
[FONT="]One of us steps on a board and then we hear it, their coming, they’ve gotten a little faster since this **** started happening. I swear I’ve seen one or two running while we were in that chopper. They’re walking abominations, a blight on creation. As the first infected start to show up we quickened our pace, I can’t exactly sprint, but I make it as well as I can. I turn around to see a few of them shuffling our way. It’s a dangerous option but I raise my firearm just enough to fire at their heads, figured out if you take out the head, then the body is useless. I have a machete I picked up when we got here, that would be a better option. Taking it from my makeshift sheath I slow down, keeping my eye on these things. Taking them down silently always is a plus, keeps from attracting the others. But right now I’m falling behind, so I turn around and hurry best I can to the group. [/FONT]
[FONT="]“Dear Lord, why did I ever leave Savannah?” I question myself.[/FONT]
[FONT="]“Because you’d rather be eatin than eaten?” I hear Ellis retort. [/FONT]
[FONT="]“Yea, that’s why.” The way he says it, him leaving the G off of ‘eating’, makes it sound the same as ‘eaten’.Of course being from the same town we both kinda have that accent.

I'm quite interested in picking up Nick, or another character from the L4D series. But I'm wondering what the policy would be on (rare) encounters with 'special' zombies? Along the lines of the big bastards from Resident Evil or the Special Infected from L4D. I just ask because having just the one, constant, non-changing kind of zombie might get old.
I'm not saying players should be able to just throw "Super-Zombies" into any post but maybe the GMs would create or integrate some special zombies into the game? It just seems it could get tired having just the plain zombies (And evil/crazed humans) as antagonists when we've got PC characters from RE and L4D.
Just a thought.

Yeah. Right now we're sticking with the walkers and then further progress into the different types of zombies as the game goes along. I know what you mean about killing the same type of slow moving monsters can get old. I could see someone throwing out a mutated type of the walker and fight it, but the problem with that is making sure that they're rare and few and far between.
