 \n  \nEach character submitted to the story/game is submitted by you folks.\u0026nbsp; I won't accept all characters, and it's a lengthy and complicated elimination effort on my part to select ones that'll work \"just right\" in a storyline.\u0026nbsp; There are some things that can really boost your chances to be included and some things that'll decrease your chances; I'm the final say-so, but there's nothing wrong with gathering your own cheering section.\u0026nbsp; Posting a pic (or a commission) of your character with this story in line can increase your chances, and/or posting a short story about your character's background and where s/he was on the day it all went down can also give you a step in the right direction.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; In a few days I will post a 'character sheet' outline along with 6 completed characters; one non-player character for each group.\u0026nbsp; The already completed characters will give you an idea of what to expect and how a character sheet will look.\u0026nbsp; Since this is an apoc-fur-lypse and not D\u0026D, and because this is a player-character-driven-storyline and not a roleplaying game, character sheets will be devoid of the mundane and overdone statistics of things like\u0026nbsp; Strength\" and \"Intelligence\".\u0026nbsp; Instead, the IMPORTANT attributes/skills will be the pivotal focus... things like \"Urban Survival\", \"Combat\", \"Will to Live\", \"Know-How\", and \"Athletics\".\u0026nbsp; These are broad-scope descriptors for characters and can help our intrepid bands of still-living protagonists from becoming living-again footnotes.  \n  \nSo start thinking up your character concepts.\u0026nbsp; I'll have the guidelines for character submission up soon along with the sample characters you'll be 'meeting' in the story.\u0026nbsp; Don't submit anything TOO soon, or you'll lose some important information when I unveil the character creation policy and show you how to add some major flavor to the meyhem that will soon begin.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Your objective is to create a character that'll get applauds from the other readers whether you survive two days or right through the end... and no, I can make no guarantees or promises that you will survive; if you have a problem with that, then don't submit a character.\u0026nbsp; You can earn 'plot points' in ways that will be discussed in future postings.\u0026nbsp; The 'plot points' can earn you a more central role, a longer survival rate (or a more spectacular death), and bragging rights.\u0026nbsp; I look forward to filling up the groups with some eager reader-players! Until then, stay safe, keep supplied, and aim for the heads.  \n  \nIf you have questions, I'll be happy to take them.\u0026nbsp; Please post here in comments so everyone can see what questions have been asked/answered.\u0026nbsp; You may reply with an intent to join, but I won't be taking submissions for characters yet-- that'll be the next post.  \n  \nThere will be zombies.\u0026nbsp; There will be violence.\u0026nbsp; There will be death.\u0026nbsp; There will be slaughter.\u0026nbsp; There will be destruction.\u0026nbsp; There might be sex.\u0026nbsp; Also check in for the possibility of Mountain Dew and horror movie humor.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \ncomidacomida  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n(edit:)\u0026nbsp; You can now go to [http://sofurry.com/page/131851](http://sofurry.com/page/131851) and see the character submission guidelines!\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
