Outbreak Outbreak Outbr-; A Zombie Apocalypse RP

This is most likely a futile attempt, but I'm trying to get some people back ino the RP section. Basically, a bunch of people are going to some kind of convention/meeting, just as a Zombie Outbreak starts. The building is 30 storey high (the ground floor counts as the first floor, mind), and is packed with people, many of which are going to panic and cause more trouble than help.

Now, TFF, I know how tempting it must be to make this suck, but don't. This is meant to be atleast somewhat realistic, so NO mystical crap, NO fantasy and NO sci-fi elements. The characters are all people - human people, normal, everyday human people. You can base them of real-life people. READ before you post. Read through the whole thing. Yes, that means from the beginning. Make the characters' actions/reactions realistic. And most of all, try to make long and intelligent posts - no one-liners, things that could not under any circumstance happen in real life. If you can't do that, I'll have to post this on Versipellem, and if they also epicly fail, well maybe I'll make a short story or something.

Before we start, anyone who is going to join will post their characters (though it is acceptible for people to join later on) and we will discuss things. Maybe plan out the building, what the convention is, who will meet whom and at what point, hell, we can plan out the whole plotline.

Just have one character at first. If you realy require/desire another one, you can create one later on. You can fil in any character form you want, I don't care. I'll make mine a tad later.

EDIT:

Name: Gwen Lynett
Age: 23
Looks: She is not quite physically fit, though not quite fat either. She wears glasses that she considers horn-rimmed, despite the presence of nose-pads. She is quite short and styles her ginger hair in 'the Rachel haircut'.
About her: She is quite intelligent and witty, but also incredibly lazy. She is usually seen sleeping, and when she's not she watches TV or does something else that does not require any physical activity. She does have a thing for arranging and putting everything in order/patterns though, so you wouldn't exactly call her messy. Gwen comes onto the Internet daily, which really made her humor weirder. Her reactions are usually quite slow, and shesometimes finds it difficult to operate under pressure. She considers herself resourceful, but is really not too much so.

Shall we make it a Futurama convention in America?

Name: Isabel Marpinn.
Age: 14.
Gender: Female.
Appearance: Brown eyes and brown, very slightly coppery ahir which goes down almost to her elbows. She has fairly pale skin and glasses with half frames, and always keeps her watch on her left wrist. She can often look very creepy of sinister.
Personality: She has the uncanny ability to make people do what she wants, though she had no money or high position. Perhaps they feel intimidated. It has never eally been explained. Other than that she's usually very cheerful, and can be awfully loud, too loud more often than not. She's not scared by much, and doesn't like to show it when she is.
Other: She leads a pretty normal life. the further she's been away from hoem before this is France. She's scared of dogs and spiders.

This character is largely based on myself. The sirname is false, and I can't make people do what I want (in fact, most of the time people just ignore me completely) - that was simply to make the character more interesting. However, to balance it out and make the character more believable I gave her a fear of dogs and spiders.

America sounds about right and Futurama... Why not? So, what plans do you have? I was thinking the retarded designers made only two lifts, which will inevitably get clogged up and perhaps broken. The outbreak should probably start on the streets, and zombies will come in through the main entrance, so people don't have much of a chance to leave the building. Oh, and people trapped with the living dead will try to get into groups, right?
Also, we need to decide on what kind of zombies there will be. I was thinking just the classic 'bite you and you become one' type, just a tad smarter/stronger/faster.

Mm, yeah, nice idea. I'm gonna be going by the zombies described by the Zombie Survival Guide, 'bite one you get the disease, die, then become one'.

'Kay, that's pretty much what I meant. So, any other ideas? I'd hate to start and then find out that we didn't think something important through? Do you intend for Gwen and Isabel to meet up at some point? And should we wait for someone else to join?

No idea. But yeah, I think we should wait for some other people first - it'll be pretty pointless if it's just you and me.

I'll join but I can't think of anyone right now partly due to my serious lack of creativity and also because of the fact that I'm tired. I'll try to post some-one soon though.

Hey-lo? I basically posted myself. You don't even need creativity!

Meh. I'm not interesting enough to post myself. I'll a give at making someone up though.

Name: Caitlyn Roberts
Age: 19
Gender: Female.
Appearance: She has really blue eyes and very curly shoulder length brown hair. Petite. Quite fashionable but aways wears bright colours. Looks young for her age - has passed for as young as 15.

About her: Usually pretty mellow unless someone really annoys her. Gets annoyed by attention seekers and close minded people. She often likes to keep to the background and get a good feel of a situation before letting her opinions be known. Is smart but keeps a low profile on her intelect so people undermind her and when she does come out with a clever comment people are impressed. She know's it's stupid but she finds it amusing. Hobbies includes sport and walking her dog, Gilbert

Okay. So I take it people are going to be turned into zombies and such. Maybe the best friend of one of our characters? They could think they'yd died, bu then they'd come back in a few hours - as a ZOMBIE!

Did Caitlyn bring Gilbert, Paz? Because a zombie dog would be quite epic. But anyway, shall we begin?

Yeah Gilbert can come too - that would be quite awsome. He can be a black and silver schnauzer. Should he be a big dog or small one?

Well standard schnauzers (the medium sized ones) are sociable, highly intelligent and alert. They have a deep, intimidating bark. They may take time to warm up to strangers but are very loyal to their owners ie. Caitlyn.Standards have good hunting instincts.

And they're cute:

No dog discussions. I shall start, but while we're at this, I think we should discuss when we will end this. Almost all RP's die before they end, so I think we should finish before page 30, and maybe start a new RP, this one set after the survivors have escaped the building, with either the same characters or new ones.
Oh, and if your char dies, you can create another one, and briefly describe what he/she's been doing throughout the whole thing in the first post.
