My second true RPG. This one is different from my other ones though. Quite a bit complex. And here comes the longest OP you'll ever see.
I'll start with a basic story:
The apocalypse has come. This time, rather than most fears of a nuclear end, this one is biological. You and several friends and strangers are the only ones left in this city of 500,000 inhabitants, along with a few hundred raiders and survivors. You must now survive.
Basic Sheet:
Name: Age: Build: (Stocky, muscular, nimble, thin, fat, athletic) Class: (Biological engineer, computer expert, security guard, worker, fighter, sniper, mechanical engineer, doctor) Strength: (Your overall strength) Intelligence: (How smart you are) Health: (Not HP mind you) (How healthy you are) Common Sense: (Determined by me from you're first decisions) Agility: (How maneuverable and how fast you are) Accuracy: (How accurate you are with ranged and melee weapons) Determination: (How much determination you have [morale]) Toughness: (How much you can withstand) Status: (Injured, sick, infected, healthy) Skills: (Your skills) Inventory: (Your inventory) Friends: (Friends within the cell) Enemies: (Enemies [people you don't get along with] within the cell)
Nice and long eh? Only one build/class per person. You have 5 basic points on everything. I will outline how much points you have reduced or increased in each.

4 People at the moment. If you see me not post for a good while, chances are I'm organizing new scenarios for you guys to deal with. That means stop posting until I get some new scenarios through.
Name: Mike Thomas Age: 25 Build: Nimble Class: Sniper Strength: 5 Intelligence: 5 Health: 5 Common Sense: N/A Agility: 10 Accuracy: 8 Determination: 5 Toughness: 2 Status: Healthy Skills: One Shot, One Kill: Gets a bonus when using sniper rifles Inventory: Glock Pistol Friends: None Enemies: None
Jonathan runs inside, while Mike watches the approachers carefully, in case they have ranged weapons.
Jonathan:
A) Run to the roof in case Mike needs help B) Hold your ground, peering out the window C) Look for some sharp, heavy objects D) Hide like a wussy in a closet (XD)
Mike:
A) Continue watching B) Attempt to yell out at them C) Start shooting
Name: Lunia Heathclifth Age: 21 Build: Nimble Class: Doctor Strength: 5 Intelligence: 5 Health: 6 Common Sense: 5 Agility: 10 Accuracy: 5 Determination: 5 Toughness: 2 Status: healthy Skill: Help the Poor: Can provide first aide to an injured person Inventory: First Aide Kit Friends: None Enemies: None
Okay, so what do I do? And whom's group am I with?
D). No, just kidding. Again, can I make my own option here? If so, I go to the point where Mike and I can easily communicate, and ask him how many hostiles there are, and if they have weapons. If they are armed, or if there are 4+ of them(or both), I ask him to try to get them to split up somehow. If they are unarmed, and there are 3- of them, I will ask him to come help me attack them head-on in a melee battle. I should be able to win because of my Martial Prowess, with his help. If I can't make my own option, then simply C) Look for some sharp, heavy objects
While Mike continues to watch the approachers, Jonathan starts searching for a sharp heavy object in case they are enemies. He finds a spiked bat in decent condition!
Jonathan:
A) Prepare for Mikes call of danger or not B) Charge out without a care in the world C) Go outside and greet them D) Create your own
Mike:
You finally see them, and they appear to not have any weapons. They still look like a rowdy lot though.
A) Continue watching B) Alert Jonathan C) Create your own
