Interesting character. Likely we won't need you to kill any player characters (as far as I remember, that's not how we roll ), but we could meet up with you in the stronghold, I suppose.

if you read my characters background story, "The Infected Asylum", I'm about to jump off a motorcycle and try to hijack your truck

[southsidediablo]

Uh, you're kinda supposed to wait to post till one of the leaders gives you the go ahead

Hijacking vehicles in the middle of a battlefield wouldn't be the best of ideas IMO, but if you want to give it a shot, then go ahead. I'd be worried of your character possibly getting shot at/shot, though, since they'll be firing out of it.

eh... I kinda just went ahead with it because it was taking to FREAKING LONG FOR FREAKING CHESHIRE FOX TO FREAKING REPLY! TOO FREAKING LONG!

you should read it though... it's a pretty crazy story

rofl...
you do know people can live in completely different time zones to you?, so it usually takes a day to reply

and yeah, i hope you realize we are in the middle of a huge army of infected... so getting to us would be a bit of a problem, then theres the fact we are all shooting out of our trucks, so your going to get shot...

maybe give up on the car jacking idea...
(just be someone in the community, it makes perfect sense and its way easier to fit you in...)

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

OK, first thing's first, Cheshire Fox isn't really active any more so any questions to me

Next thing's next, in terms of your actual character - sounds cool, but could you define the whole future sight thing for me? Is it just general insanity or are you going for genuine premonition? PM me if you wanna keep it quiet. Other than that, consider yourself approved.

And as for your entry - I'll explain the situation. There's a big organized army of zombies (we're not allowed to say the z word in IC by the way) laying siege to a walled city of humans. We're in a large convoy of trucks and we're hopefully about to storm down through the horde and enter the city to aid in the defence. So, at this point, attempting a hi-jack would be foolish to say the least, considering we would outnumber you about 30 to 1 and all be fully loaded and twitchy
Considering your background thingy, it's probably safe to go ahead and be following us on your bike. Just so long as you don't try to do anything stupid like shoot us

PS, You ought to read Chapter 2A. 'Cos if you don't then a lot of shit will make even less sense than it does for everyone else

[True Lord of Chaos]

well, by hijack, i sorta meant like jump off my bike at full speed, grab onto something like a locked door handle, and what I was thinking of typing for the story, would be Kelvin (or whatever his name is) hearing something hit the back, grab his weapon, and go investigate, and I climb through the window QUIETLY and pull out my knives, and get him in a position where if he moves, he'll get his throat cut, OR if you people shoot, he gets shot, and I put away 1 knife, and pull out my magnum, opening fire on anyone who decides to become hostile.

The Sight is premonition, and warns me of a bad choice that would lead to my death, near-death, or death of another, and in the case of the Sight of me jacking the truck, that is just sorta saying, "if you do this one way, you would probably die, but if you do it right, then you'll probably have few problems," so it's mostly saying doing something inevitable one way is bad, but another way leads to survival.

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

OK, few things here.
1) You don't have to double post to reply to two things - just say them both in one post, saves everyone a lot of time and bandwidth.
2) When I said you're OK'd except for this premonition thing, I meant you tell me about it and then I say it's OK or not OK and then if it's good then, and only then, can you post. That's standard procedure. However, I'll let that slide as I'm not that bothered about it.
3) More importantly, if it's genuine for your character, qualify your premonition thing. What I mean is, what makes him so special? Generally speaking, with the exception of all the psychic zombies everywhere, Apocalypse is set in the real world, and is defined by real world rules, like science. So tell me why you have premonition when everyone else is just bog-standard human?
If you want I've already thought of a way to fit that into the storyline (eventually), but it will probably require some fucking about with your char from me and some cooperation from you. And quite selective use of it as an ability.
4) Why do you feel the need to break into our convoy and threaten us with death? You could just follow us on the bike and shoot some zombies you know. Plus, now is really, really not a good time to go attacking other survivors, when we're being beset on all sides by undead and if we stop shooting them they will probably topple whichever truck you're in.

((OOC:I'm not scheduled to die yet, and I'm still in my grace period, so decide what happens to me. Don't, and I mean DON'T, shove me out of the vehicle, or shoot/injure me. Oh, and btw, close the door before anything we don't want gets in.))

5) Don't tell me how to run my own RP - we know you're on grace and we know you're human so why would we kill you? And I think we've probably figured to shut the door. Although if you've broken the lock it might be kinda awkward...

he was born with brain damage, caused by drinking and smoking during pregnancy, causing this, and also causing mental instability, which is why no one ever believed him about it.(forgot about that in the bg)

sure, whatever you want, it's your rp, godmod away!

this guy's insane, i'm trying to go with his mental instability thing, and he has low common sense. oh, and sorry about the don't shove me out or whatever thing.

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

OK then. You're forgiven. Just try to be a team player, as far as probable
Insane characters are fine, so long as you generally grasp the concept that we aren't trying to kill you and there's nothing to be gained by trying to kill us. Take Silva, for example - complete psychopath who lives for slaughter. However, he realises that it's better to earn our respect, trust and protection rather than go it alone, where he would most likely die. Which he has done
Don't worry about the premonition thing then; let's say the brain damage caused only brain damage. I'll PM you my idea.


EDIT: OK, Myself is keeping his premonition whatsit as I've worked it into the long-term history and storyline in a suitably cool way
