I will allow 1-3 people to be made each, only if that person so desires.
Also, if it starts getting too crowded later on I may have to revoke that rule.
But for now, create to your heart's content
Name: Sebastian Pines.
Age: 19.
Gender: Male.
Short Bio: Grew up in [wherever this is set] and lived there his whole life, not ever moving and rarely travailing. He went to school and, despite being very quiet, found himself with many friends. Life at his home was alright, he had nice and kind parents, but his siblings were somewhat mean, considering his older brother to be a bully. He found his mind to be his own place and often thought. He talked to himself in his head and realized this, but after awhile he didn't care anymore and just went along with his thoughts. He reflects on things silently and will often think things though before acting. But now moves on with his own life in his own house. (And just to be clear he doesn't talk to himself out loud.)
Personality: Very quiet and shy, kind and warmhearted, but has trouble expressing any feelings or opinions. Not prone to making jokes, but will often smile or even laugh along if a joke is made. He’s quite defensive of anyone he considers a friend and will protect them without hesitation. He doesn't take serious matters lightly and will jump to defend people he believes innocent.
Appearance: Light blonde hair cut like a Mohawk only the back portion of his head is also shaven. Wears a white dress shirt and jeans with a black tie. Left eye is blue and right eye is green. Dark stubble.
(Similar to this)
Anything more about your character: During his upbringing he became quite familiar with guns of most types, shotguns, pistols, rifles, crossbows, etc. While he is a good shoot and has learned to use any gun quite well, he himself doesn't own a gun, but if he ever got his hands on one he'll sure as hell know how to use it.
Right now his only weapon is a 2 foot long piece of rebar that he uses to bash in the brains of the living dead!
Backstory: For him it all began with a rude awakening while living in his newly moved into apartment, there he quickly learned of the worlds harsh fate and quickly became accustom to fighting the walking corpses as he fought for his survival. He found himself without any options when cornered in alleyway, but was saved when he found a metal trashcan to hide in. After waiting awhile and being pushed and tossed around by the dead as he fearfully held the lid tight, the walkers began to lose interest when someone happened by the alleyway, soon allowing Sebastian to walk away from the situation unscratched.

CHAPTER 1: THE WHEEL OF FATE
Miles Shearman
It was a dark and quiet night, the moon and the stars were shining bright while life was going about its daily business. I was walking on the busy streets of Macon, Georgia on my way home from work when I spied the local bar out of the corner of my eye. “Well, one or two won’t hurt... “ I mumbled to myself. As I walked in the door I saw a few people talking in a booth about work, when one started to clutch his chest. They all looked at him and the woman in the group mentioned something about heart meds. She took him to the restroom and the rest resumed the conversation normally. I also noticed a man sitting off by himself enjoying what appeared to be his third drink. He was wearing a black and red flannel shirt, and upon closer inspection he had a black t-shirt underneath it. He was also clad in dark blue jeans with brown work boots on. I walked over and sat next to the lone figure, who turned around and noticed me. His eyes were a dark brown and his messy hair was of the same color.
“Oh, what do you want?” He spoke, not sounding overly pleased to have company. “Nothing, really. Just sitting down for a late night drink.” I answered. The man merely shook his head and continued to finish his drink.
“Never thought a businessman could have enough troubles to drown himself in.” He suddenly uttered, looking at my suit.
“Everyone has problems.” I rebuttled. The man sighed and looked down. “Some more than others.”
I had a feeling that this man was troubled by something, so I decided to figure out what.
“So, what’s gotten you so down in the du-”
Before I could even finish that sentence, the most shocking and unexpected event took place.
A high-pitched scream pierced the room as the woman’s body from earlier fell out of the restroom and hit the floor, with blood spraying out of her neck. The man that was with her crawled over to her and, instead of helping, took a chunk right out of her arm.
“What the fuck?!” The bartender exclaimed, backing away from the scene.
“Hey! Get off her, John!" One of the friends said, who ran to the man and grabbed him. “What the fuck do you think you’re-” The man lunged forward and ripped out the poor guy’s throat. The last girl tried to get run but was grabbed by the hand of the dead woman, who was somehow alive. She tore right into her ankle as the other one chowed down.
What the hell is going on?! People are eating each other! I thought. I also heard screams from outside. Is this happening out there, too?

Run for it

Miles Shearman
Run for it!
As I look around for a weapon, I find that the front door is wide open and unoccupied. I sprint to it, hearing the bartender yell behind me. “Hey! Where are you going?! Gah!” I don’t bother to look back, I already know that the other one got him.
(?) The man in the flannel shirt will remember that.
I run outside and the scene is like something from a horror flick. People are running in blind panic trying to get away, sometimes pushing others into the maws of the dead ones. I could make out two figures that looked like children running towards my apartment block. I turn to see a big group of them tear a man apart before my very eyes. Some of them apparently didn't get their fill, because they stared at my direction and started shuffling to my position. To my right was another group of the same size. “Shit!” I yell, running back into the safety of the bar.
Just as I enter, the man from earlier that killed the woman leaped at me, and everything went in slow motion. Suddenly, I see the kegs that are stacked up against the wall start to move, and they fall onto the man. They completely crush his head, and the body stops moving as a pool of dark blood starts to flow. The man in the flannel shirt walks up from behind the stand, and glares at me.
“You’re welcome.” He finally says in his gruff voice. “Yeah...thanks..” I manage to utter. “Cmon, we got to get the hell outta here.” He says as he walks to the door. I cut between him and point to the back of the bar. “This way’s screwed, too many. If we don’t hurry we’ll end up like those poor people.” I say, pointing to the bodies of the victims.
“Fine, lead the way. And be careful, even though that last one is preoccupied, it might choose to STOP being preoccupied.” The flannel man says, who crouches down. The woman looks up at us, but continues to feast on the bartender, as if it can’t be bothered to get up.
With that, we slowly crawl to the back door and open it, revealing that it leads to a fenced in yard. “Thanks for the help, again. I would've been a goner if you hadn't done that.” I proclaim. “By the way, the name’s Miles. Miles Shearman. You?” “James Miller. And don’t sweat it. I just couldn't leave you to die.” He says with a smirk on his face.
This is still all hard to take in, but I’m glad I found someone I could trust in this situation. The only question now is, where to go from here…?
Sebastian Pines
“Phew...last box!” I exclaim, placing my vase upon the table. It had been a hard month of moving and unpacking, but it was finally over. Sebastian had finally gotten everything the way it should be; perfect. Nothing was this perfect before, not even when he was a kid. His siblings were always mean to him, particularly his older brother, who always picked on him every waking moment of the day. He recalled once when his brother took his new goldfish he got and, as a prank, accidentally flushed it down the toilet. But that time of his life was over, with adulthood Sebastian was finally free.
“Now that that’s out of the way and done, I wonder see what’s on TV…” I pondered, flicking through channel after channel. “Ads, more ads, cooking shows, politics...hey, what’s this?” I say, after coming across a news report.
“This is Tiffany Reid of WABE reporting on the scene of chaos! People all across the Macon area are showing signs of mass hysteria and there have been reports of violence, robbery, and most shocking, cannibalism! Hold on…” The reporter checked her earpiece and continued. “We have an update. Savannah and Atlanta are also experiencing the same phenomenons, however due to their large populations, they are considered even more dangerous. The police have advised us to avoid contact with any person that looks or acts different than normal, and has started to evacuate the residents. If you live on the outskirts of Macon, you will be the first to evacuate. We here at WABE will continue to share the story with you until the very end! For now, this is Tiffany Reid, signing off.”
Just as she finished her report, someone snuck up on her and bit right into her neck. Horrified, I shut the TV off and sat on the couch, speechless. I looked out my window and saw the carnage. Dead bodies were everywhere, and people were walking around and devouring each other. Just then, the door to my apartment was being pounded on by a group of those people.
“Shit, I just had to have the ground floor, didn't I?” I mumbled, stepping back. As the door burst open, I saw about 20 bodies hit the ground and start crawling towards me, one by one. I kicked the first one I saw in the face as it approached, but it didn't even faze him. It’s like he was glutton for punishment. I kept backing up until I hit a wall and then looked around my apartment. I needed to think of a way to get out of this and fast.
1) Call for help
2) Open the window
3) Throw the vase
Voting will stop tomorrow at around 4 to 4:30 pm. Happy voting
It happens to the best of us lol
3) Throw the vase
2) Open the window - Calling for help will most likely not work, and throw the vase will do jack shit, his only hope is to climb out the window.
It's awesome to see Sebastian so early!
But there's NoHopeLeft! :P
I'll try to introduce all the characters atleast once before shit goes any further south.
Angrily mumbles
