Welcome aboard! Yes, you can create your own character. An RAF character attached to Warren AFB will work very nicely. One of the original characters way back in Chapter 1 was also from the RAF, so this will work very well. In order to create your own character, read the Rules and Guidelines thread. There's a lot of useful information in there. Full instructions for character creation are in this post. You'll roll your character's stats according to the instructions there.

Keep in mind that you can play multiple characters. This is recommended, as the game is highly lethal. Warren Air Force Base appears to be less dangerous than most of the outside world, but death is still a risk. You may create a second character in Omaha if you wish, and you may also choose one of the five pregenerated characters. Captain Claire Kelleher, MD is also at Warren AFB, but she would probably lead a separate existence from RSM Crew, at least after the beginning of Chapter 5. If you want to experience more aspects of the game, you might prefer to choose one from a different section, however. There are two park rangers available in the Sword section, Dan Aldrich and Julie St. James. There are also two pregenerated charactes in Omaha: student journalist John Lee and civil rights attorney Erin Halloran. The character sheets are all found in this thread. The new characters are at the bottom of each section.

Nice! It looks like you haven't quite spent all of your points, so you'll want to go add some more in. You've spent only 210 of your occupational points, so you have another 10 points to spend on one or more of your eight occupational skills. You've also only spent 85 of your hobby points, so that gives you another 15 of those to spend on any skill or skills. I recommend increasing your Pilot skill to at least 15%. Otherwise, you'll have to make Luck rolls quite frequently if you ever do fly an aircraft. Even at 15%, you're not going to be very good at it. You'll have a good chance of damaging your craft on takeoff and/or landing, though a crash is less likely.

Raising your EDU to 11 gives you a Know score of 55, and Own Language: English is also now 55%.

I'll use that description you wrote when I add your character sheet to the list. I could also use a one line in-character quote like the existing character sheets have.

also is there anything you would like me to read or need to tell me to make the character more in sync with the others?

I'm sorry, it turns out you had spent all 100 hobby points after all. I got one of the base skills wrong. I'll put Pilot back to 11% and Drive Automobile back to 30% for now, but if you want to adjust your hobby skills let me know. I'm adding your character sheet now, and I'll send you your secrets a little later.

You don't need to read any of the background story, and it's probably best that you don't read any of Chapter 4 anyway. You should read the Rules and Guidelines thread. Feel free to post in the OOC thread and introduce yourself. Currently it's in the Chapter 4 subforum, though I'll add one to the Chapter 5 subforum within a week. Other than that, the only thing you really need to read are your secrets (when you receive them in a PM).

I'm adding several new characters to the Gold section of Zombie Apocalypse, all U.S. Air Force Security Forces members responding to an emergency at Warren Air Force Base. The two fire team leaders are pregenerated and may be freely chosen, and there are five more openings for members of their fire teams. Those characters could either be created by you, or created by me tailored to fit what you want. Sharpshooters and people with medical skills are especially needed for these teams.

Welcome aboard, Kamikaze14! The instructions for creating characters can be found in the Rules and Guidelines thread. The Character Selection, Creation, and Discussion thread on the main Zombie Apocalypse forum is where you can post your character when you're done. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

On second thought, could you roll him up? I'm kind of new to CoC and invisiblecastle won't let me register.

Sure, no problem. Was there any error message telling you why IC wouldn't let you register? I'll need the name you're going to give your character, and your rank (you can choose from Airman Basic, Airman, or Airman First Class - the Rules and Guidelines thread describes them, in the next-to-last post). Then I'll roll your stats for you, and then you can adjust them according to the rules in that post and assign skill points, or I can create the character completely for you based on your specifications.

The site worked for me, but maybe you can't access it from your location, or it was down temporarily and came back up. If you give your character's name and rank first, I'll roll your character's stats for you. Let me know if you also want me to shift the stats around and assign skill points, or if you want to do that yourself. You should come up with the character's age and background on your own. You can post in the Character Selection, Creation, and Discussion thread in the main forum. Once your character is done, I'll give you his secrets and tell you what parts you need to read for background, and then you can get started. Once you start playing, you can use a different dice roller or physical dice, or I can simply roll the dice for you as needed.

Re: Chapter 3 Zombie Apoc

Here are the stats for Airman Marcus Winters:

STR 9
CON 7
POW 7
DEX 11
APP 12
SIZ 9
INT 18
EDU 13

You are free to swap the first five stats (STR, CON, POW, DEX, APP) around, as they were all rolled on 3d6. That means you can put the two 7s, the 9, the 11, and the 12 in whichever of those five stats you wish. You may swap SIZ and INT, as both were rolled on 2d6+6, or you may keep them where they are. You may increase your EDU by making your character older than necessary. The minimum age is 19 in this case, but for every full 10 years above that you age your character, you get a +1 increase to your EDU (so if you're 39 years old, your EDU would be 15). If you make your character 50 years old or more, you will lose points from your other stats, however. See the next to last post in the Rules and Guidelines thread for full details.

If you keep your stats where they are, your derived stats are as follows:
Idea 90
Luck 35
Know 65
Damage bonus: +0
Maximum Hit Points: 8
Maximum Magic Points: 7
Starting Sanity: 35

You may choose a relevant template for your occupational skills. Your best bet is probably the Soldier template, which allows you to spend your EDU-based skill points on Dodge, First Aid, Hide, Listen, Mechanical Repair, Rifle, Sneak, and one other skill of your choice as a specialty. Medicine would be a good choice for this skill. You'd still have your INT-based skill points for any other skills you want, and if you leave the 18 in INT, that gives you 180 of them!

Zombie Apocalypse Chapter 6

Post by Mr. Handy »

Chapter 6 of Zombie Apocalypse will be starting this week. If you've been thinking about joining in, now is the perfect time. If you play new characters, no prior knowledge or reading of the first five chapters is required. One pregenerated character has been added. She is available to new players on a first come, first served basis. If she is unclaimed after a week, she will become available to all players at that point. She is Detective Gretchen Ehrlich, who works narcotics cases for the Omaha Police Department. There are also pregenerated chapters from earlier chapters available, though they will require back reading.

In addition to (or instead of) choosing pregenerated characters, you may create up to two characters of your own. One of the characters can be in the Gold section at Warren AFB. This will probably be a member of the U.S. Air Force, but could also potentially be a relative of someone stationed at the base. The other character can be in the Omaha section, and can be pretty much anyone who was in Omaha, Nebraska at the start of the zombie outbreak, whether they live in the city or are visiting. Full details for character creation can be found in the Rules and Guidelines thread, in the next-to-last post: here

Zombie Apocalypse Chapter 7

Post by Mr. Handy »

Chapter 7 of Zombie Apocalypse will be starting in early September. If you've been thinking about joining in, now would be an ideal time. If you play new characters, no prior knowledge or reading of the first six chapters is required. Several pregenerated characters have been added. They are available to new players on a first come, first served basis (one new pregenerated character per player for now). There are also pregenerated characters from earlier chapters available, and you may choose more than one of them, though they will require back reading.

In addition to (or instead of) choosing pregenerated characters, you may create up to two characters of your own. One of the characters can be in the Gold section at Warren AFB. This will probably be a member of the U.S. Air Force, but could also potentially be a relative of someone stationed at the base.

More people should play this game because it's awesome. That is all. Also, it's more fun when you're roleplaying with a bunch of other clueless PCs rather than NPCs cleverly manipulated by all-knowing Keeper! Well, okay, Mr. Handy does a marvellous job of keeping the IC / OOC information separate but still ... join us!

Don't you know?

It's Zombie Hunting season!
Is it bad that I listen to this about ten times a day?
