Hello, and welcome to the discussion thread for 'The Ocean Breathes Salty', a TWD-inspired zombie apocalypse rp.
Please post forms here for approval before posting on the main thread.

Additional zombie information: This rp uses a common set of traits for zombies taken from the TWD universe. The
nly way to permanently kill a zombie is with a direct blow to the head. Anyone who dies in this setting will rise as a
zombie, unless they have suffered a similar blow to the brain. Being bitten by a zombie will cause the victim to fall
ill very quickly and die, typically within 72 hours. Immediate amputation of a bitten limb may save them, however.
The undead have a fairly good sense of smell but poor eyesight and coordination. They are attracted towards loud
sounds and tend to follow each other, creating 'hordes' or 'herds' that can number in the hundreds or thousands, pot-
entially even millions. They are not very fast or agile but are quite strong, and their lack of self-preservation instin-
ct means almost nothing will stop them. They will eat any creature they can catch, and this increased predation pr-
essure means certain game is scarce and most wild animals are very easily alarmed.

Sophie Sanchez is a spirited and outgoing girl with too big of a heart for her own good. She is talkative, sociable, and tries to keep other people in good spirits, even if she may only end up annoying them. She tries her best to get along with other people, as long as she feels she can trust them. She is also rather protective of others, especially her brother, and is very empathetic - a rare trait in such a cruel world. Though often outspoken, Sophie doesn't like fighting and tries not to argue, and will usually just go along with the group. Perhaps because of this impulse, she frequently ends up putting others' needs or wants in front of her own. Being vulnerable in front of others is something she struggles with. However, when push comes to shove, she will stand up for what she believes in, and if nothing else will fight to the end to protect the people she cares for.

❝ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 '𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 ? ❞

When things first started to go south, Sophie had just turned 19 and believed that she had her whole life ahead of her. Though her brother was homeschooled from a young age, Sophie did well in public school and enjoyed being able to make friends with other girls her age. She got along well with her peers and strove for good grades, graduating with honors only a few short months before an all-out apocalypse. Sophie was athletic and played in her local softball league as a teenager; she retains a mean swing with a bat. Undecided on her future career, she was touring local college campuses when the first wave of the crisis broke out. Sophie rushed home to her parents, but found they had been ushered into a government-designated 'safe zone' outside of DC - which, of course, wasn't as safe as it sounded. She has not seen them since.

❝ 𝐘𝐎𝐔 '𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄 ❞
─────────────────────────────
duncan porter • 24 • cismale • pansexual • group #1 civilian • fc - rohan campbell
─────────────────────────────
Duncan Porter is, to most, a mere enigma. At a glance many people tend to falsely assume that he is either mute or unintelligent, though neither is true. Duncan is actually quite keen and surprisingly knowledgeable, with a particular fixation on machines. He is inquisitive, and naturally good at figuring things out. However, he is very quiet, preferring not to speak with people he doesn't know well, as he is naturally anxious and struggles to communicate with others. He is highly insecure and has very low self-esteem, usually too afraid to stand up for himself, and is rather sensitive and emotional. He is prone to panic attacks, and under immense stress often becomes entirely nonverbal. The young man has a sweet heart and is very caring, much like his sister, but is very shy and wary of others - and, in particular, the way he is perceived by them. The few who manage to get close to him find him compassionate, thoughtful, and loyal to a fault - but it is quite a difficult road to get there.

❝ 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐎𝐖 !! ❞

Duncan's early life could be described as 'sheltered'. He was homeschooled by his father, who happened to be a teacher himself and was concerned from a very young age that the boy would struggle in the public school system. This did help him a lot when it came to learning, but deprived him of many possible opportunities to develop social skills - something he had an inherent struggle with. Duncan's father also taught him ASL at a very young age, as young Duncan often struggled with verbal speech (and at times still does). As a young adult, he did attend a two-year college for automotive technology and dreamed of someday having his own restoration shop, but those dreams were dashed rather abruptly. Duncan did not cope well with being thrown into a crisis or losing contact with his parents; he doubts he would still be alive if Sophie had not been there.

❝ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐄 , ❞
──────────────────────────────
doctor anton zima • 47 • cismale • bisexual • group #2 medic • fc - mads mikkelsen
──────────────────────────────
Dr. Zima is a peculiar fellow, affable but with a general obliviousness to social norms worsened by the fact that he has been more or less entirely alone since the outbreak. He has always been a lonely man, not given to close personal relationships and instead immersing himself in his work. He is intelligent, analytical, and highly driven, an industrious and pragmatic individual who is always focused on solutions - and, despite the grim environment around him, remains ever the optimist. He is rather eccentric and often says things that seem odd or inappropriate for the situation. Having been a surgeon for decades, Anton is also able to make quick decisions in high-pressure situations - without the influence of emotion. His clinical detachment makes this easier, but it is easy for others to perceive it as callous or downright eerie.

❝ 𝐈 '𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 ❞

Dr. Zima speaks little of his early life; his parents jumped the Iron Curtain in the mid-80s and he grew up knowing no other family. Before the fall, he was an orthopedic surgeon; upon the initial outbreak, he wanted to help the sick and injured, but was perhaps fortunately told to stay at home instead. Dr. Zima fled his home early on, though, as he lived in an urban area which was almost immediately overrun. He has spent most of the last few years living alone and holed up in a rural two-story home he found abandoned. Not wanting to simply sit around, he has stuffed a journal with notes about the undead and what he knows about the 'disease'; he keeps them very safe, as he hopes that even if he dies, what he has learned may help others in the endeavor to find some sort of a cure. Early on, he fell from the roof of his new home while trying to repair it and broke his left arm - a serious problem for Anton, who is left-handed. Self-administered physical therapy has restored the majority of his use of the arm, but he still sometimes worries about his manual dexterity. While he was recovering, Zima happened upon an injured young raven, and, feeling a kinship to the poor bird, he took it in and nursed it back to health. He named the bird Elizaveta, and trained her to assist him with many things while he was still regaining use of his hand. Elizaveta still accompanies Anton, though he seems to treat her more as a friend than a pet.

sawyer edward reid • 36 • cismale • homosexual • lone survivor • fc - hugh dancy
─────────────────────────────
Sawyer Reid is a down-to-earth and carefree fellow, a self-described 'simple man' who enjoys the simple pleasures in life and goes with the flow, no matter where it may take him. He is an independent man; even before, he historically kept very few friends but was very close with them - and everyone else at a bit of a distance. He is friendly and charming, and by no means a cold person, but does not like to feel tied down to anyone or anything. He does not ask much of others and hopes they will not ask much of him in return. He is certainly somebody who needs his space - and people who understand that. Sawyer is a stubborn and proud man who very much gets set in his ways. He will rarely admit when he's wrong and sometimes harbors unfair grudges. Despite his apparent geniality, Sawyer has difficulty opening himself up emotionally and is quick to shut down - and, if he feels you've wronged him, he will certainly remember it.

❝ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 ❞

Sawyer Reid grew up in a small town in Virginia; he was close with his parents, especially his father, who took him fishing and hunting from a young age. Sawyer was always an outdoorsman, feeling more at home in the forests and streams of the Virginia backwoods than he did anywhere else. Prior to this whole 'apocalypse' thing, he spent a few years as a truck driver before eventually becoming a full-time pro angler. He was actually away from home on the tail end of a tournament when everything collapsed. Since then, he's been living out of his RV. He was married - but has made no attempts to contact his wife. He assumes she is dead, and their relationship was never particularly close to begin with. Sawyer has been closeted all his life and dragged on an affectionless marriage for more than a decade - but he doesn't worry about it anymore. In fact, he doesn't think this whole zombie apocalypse thing is that bad, actually. He's quite content with his situation and enjoys the feeling of freedom. Why worry about anyone else?
