Hello everyone! This is KolThePanda, you can call me Kol for short, and This is my first RPG forum game.
I've never done this before, so we'll see how it turns out.
Storyline: August 10, 2002 Ukraine
You are woken up by the sound of fire near you. You open your eyes, shocked to see your former home in ruins. You take a good long look at the pile of wood and concrete that was your home, still shocked about what has happened. "Is this a dream?" you say to yourself. As you walk outside, you find that your little home by the docks wasn't the only thing affected. Everything looks old and abandoned, as if a massacre had gone on 100 years ago. Behind an old rusty car you see what looks like a dead man; his back resting on the side of the car. You see his diary and pick it up. It reads:
November 2, 2000
Today the Horrid Zombies tried to break open the door and get into my safe-house, but luckily i made them extra strong and hid in the basement hoping if they do get in, they wouldn't find me. I'm trying to find someone else in this dead landscape who is trying to survive like me, but so far i have not had the courage the leave the safe-house. maybe tomorrow i will get my crowbar and head out...
November 3, 2000
I am finally ready to head out, i have food, water, my crowbar, and a torch in case i need it. I am scared, but it's either i stay in here and i die, or have a chance at finding someone out there. I've made my choice. Until next time,

[B]Tip:[/B]Books can be found in lots of places, and can increase your Exp level by a lot from reading them, However, reading them requires a safe location, and time. You may also look back on Books for advice. For example, If you read a book about how to bandage yourself, your exp goes up and you also learn how to do that quickly and easily.

You take the tuna, and You look into the house, and then enter slowly as you make your way into the crumbling place. You hear creaking in the old wooden ceiling, and You stop moving. it sounds like someone is on the top floor...
Suddenly The roof above you breaks and a zombie comes crashing down to the floor. You stand there in shock, But realize that now is the perfect time to strike. You take your old pistol and whack The zombie in the head multiple times, and then kick it a few more, just to make sure it's dead...
The sun starts to set... It'll get cold overnight, so Be careful!
You run back into the house, and find a few torn up pieces of carpet laying on the top floor, so you take them and Hide near a corner of the house and take a few hours of sleep, Which will be much needed for the day to come.
Name: Michael S. Age: 33 Experience: Level 1 5/10 Health: 100/100 Hunger 90/100 Thirst: 90/100 Visibility: 5/10 Armor: Sweater, Thick Cargo pants, (sunglasses) Hand item: Pocket knife (durability 9/10) Inventory: Slot 1: Healing Ointment (uses 10/10) Slot 2: Small piece of bread Invalid Slot: Wilderness book Status: Healthy Money: $5 Tasks: None
You search the car, And find an old pair of sunglasses (+1 for style!). You also find a pair of thick cargo pants and a book on how to survive in the wilderness.
Once finished raiding the car, and had a change of pants, You look around to see if anyone is nearby, and in the faint distance you see a figure running towards you, with a trail of 2-3 zombies behind him. You have a choice of either Helping the man, or waiting for him to get killed and then take his items. The choice is yours.
Warning: you have a full inventory! what would you like to drop?
The beginning is the same for everyone, The story is what you decide
You look around around your current area. There is a Gregor Watzchev, leaning next to a broken down and rusty car. Your dormer household is behind you, and to your right there is a trash can. There is also a few cans, newspapers, and other junk lying on the floor.
Hey! Sorry about missing your character sheet earlier, I hope you're still up for the game?

Hey! How do you guys like the RPG so far? Has it met your standards? Is there anything you's like me to change? Just tell me and i'll see what i can do!
I try to sleep until morning with a few locked doors between me and the outside world. When I wake up I will look through a window to make sure the coast is clear.
You are able to fall asleep, and lock the outside door, But while sleeping you have terrible dreams of Zombies ripping out a poor man's Shirt, eating his flesh and brains, and his head falls to the side and you recognize his face... you see yourself being eaten alive, with a shocked look on your face. You wake up startled, and look out the window of the top floor. It's daytime, which means time to go out and scavenge. You first check if the coast is clear, which it is, and You head unlock the door and Head out. You take a last look at the door, And see it has scratch marks and blood on it. It seems you were lucky to have locked it, because if not you probably would have had a sketchy night...

It's time to head out. I look for the direction that appears to be of least resistance, one that will offer much shelter and supplies with little chance of engagement...If there is such a direction. If not, I'll go with my gut.
Tip: Never forget to look at your stats to tell if you are hungry, thirsty, or low on health. I'm not going to remind you every time, i'm just going to put it on the sheet, and you can figure it out yourself
Info: If you are the curious type, and want to know everything about the story, i'm the creative type, and can tell the whole story! Talk to people and ask them questions about the story to see how it unfolded. For example: You can always ask someone a question about their life or the story how they see it. Have fun
You look down both ways of the street, One way seems to go on forever, until it finally stops at an abandoned barricade. You look the other way, and see that there is what looks like a man setting off a flare on the curb of a street a few blocks in front of you. You think: He may be hostile, Or friendly, If he's hostile, I'm in trouble, if he's friendly, i'm in luck. It's a gamble. Your guts tells you to try your luck, and you head forward, trying not to be too visible. You reach the man, and he turns around, startled, aiming a gun toward you. He is wearing military grade bulletproof armor, and you guess that he is a pretty skilled military official.
Info: Sometimes when talking, If your EXP level is high enough, You can talk Your way out of someone shooting you, or other pressure situations, unless they shoot first and ask questions later, of course.
"Don't get any closer, Or your head comes off."
"I don't want any trouble, I just want to survive."
"why should I trust you?"
"Because With me, There's a much better chance of us both surviving."
"I don't have any time to waste with civilians like you. I am on duty to kill these zombies."
"So you're just going to leave me here?"
"I don't have any other choice. It's protocol."
Just then a Military helicopter flies overhead and a rope ladder is dropped from atop it. The military person starts climbing, and you yell out, over the loud noise of the Helicopter, "Can I come with you?" The military man turned around on the ladder, and by the look on his face, you could tell what his answer was. there was nothing you could do. You look at what he left behind and see the flare launcher, It has 2 rounds in it. There's no use firing, Chances are no one's going to come. You also pick up a small backpack, with 5 inventory slots in it, and a $10 bill on the floor.
Just in case you haven't read, here's an excerpt of the main story, on the 1st post:
Behind an old rusty car you see what looks like a dead man; his back resting on the side of the car. You see his diary and pick it up. It reads:

I readjust my gear and take out the water and crackers. I make a short meal while I walk on. I try to keep a level head because I'm pissed, but I can't do anything about it. I search for buildings that look free of zombies.
