Okay shit.
I thought I should better record this somewhere, and better on the internet than a bloodstained journal lying beside my crippled corpse for the next eternity so at least someone with an intact brain will be able to acess it.
Wacky shit's going on. Yesterday, there was nobody outside. NOBODY. Like the whole country was a ghost. People answered phone lines with nervous voices, like they were trying to pretend everything was fine.
And today, when I woke up, there were corpses littering the street. Proper injuries, like spilled guts, not some kind of mass poisoning or virus. The doors are locked and the windows sealed. We have no guns, just tools.
I have a wooden toy sword that hurts like a bitch and I'm not letting go of it until we know we're safe. And judging by the circumstances according to some of my friends over the phone, I don't think we are.

There have been more than a few broadcasts and announcements on the topic of Swine Flu recently. I thought it was pretty funny, to be honest. I guess it's finally starting to take effect.
People are... different, not zombie different, but their symptoms more than qualify for that title. Maybe it flourishes in this cold and wet climate, for whatever reason, but people's limbs are missing and it doesn't look like they were taken off.
It's hard to access intelligent life outside my family. The only one of the swine flu victims we've seen so far is still sitting outside our front window, banging on it. He looks tired, middle-aged and he doesn't have any skin on his chest.
The more he bangs the more I prepare to decapitate him.

Best of luck for the zombie apocalypse,
Cheeso :thumbsup:

I don't know shit about making a good OC but I do know what people like in a character so read this if you're interested (you're not.)

I've noticed people "tweaking" characters over time, for the sake of making them more original.
What some people fail to realise is YOUR CHARACTERS DO NOT HAVE TO BE ORIGINAL.
-When you make a character you make a sort of intangible entity; it has a set personality, whether it's often been done before or not. Modern pressure on "Is this a new idea?" or "Will people be impressed by this?" stray from the entire point.

-EVERY character design and personality has been done similiarly before; just some more often than other. To change your character because you've seen something else like it is shallow and it ruins why you originally made them.

-People dislike ORIGINAL characters. They want something they can relate to, or make jokes about, they don't want some stiff representation of human psyche or something weird like that.

-You can never have too many characters, but your character CAN have too many attributes before they become overwhelming and uninteresting. Don't shove everything about your character on their refs, subtly explain it to people who want to know. If you have a new idea but your character is already dilute with them, CREATE A NEW CHARACTER. NO-ONE WILL MIND.

-Some characters I used to like no longer appeal to me because of SO MUCH CHANGE. You're doing to your own characters what (cartoon/movie/anime/game that used to be great) did to its. And people HATE that. They want to remember your characters for their introductory personality.

-CASE STUDY: CCC in comparison with PETE.
CCC is a character I constantly developed to craft something new and inuitive, a new format of character biology and something bizarre; people ignored him.
PETE was set and always will be set as a heartless murdering machine with no personality but the purpose programmed in to kill. And people still like him.
I'm not saying PETE is a better character than CCC, (he's not) i'm just saying that sometimes unoriginality is a good thing so making characters doesn't create a huge contest.

Thanks for reading, i hope you take this advice to heart and remember a forgotten character
