Welcome to Left 4 Friendship the Zombie Survival RP (that doesn't have a proper title yet). Introduction: Day 0: Patient Zero is admitted to Manehattan Mercy Hospital complaining of abdominal pain, irritation of the epidermis, blurred vision, fatigue, and mild dehydration. Patient exhibits shakiness in the extremities and a slight facial tic. Day 1: Several more patients are admitted to the hospital. They are exhibiting the same or similar symptoms as Patient Zero. Patient Zero expires due to multiple organ failure. Patient Zero shows signs of mild brain activity, even after death. Patient Zero’s body is transported to the morgue for further study. Day 2: Every patient that exhibited symptoms similar to Patient Zero’s expire due to multiple organ failure, despite all efforts at extending life. All patients show mild brain activity, similar to Patient Zero. Bodies are transported to the morgue for further study. Patient Zero’s autopsy begins. Spoiler: Results of Autopsy: (spoilered because of some graphic details) Patient is a male [Redacted] named [Redacted]. He was [Redacted] Years old at Time of Death. Cause of death was initially determined to be multiple organ failure. The blood has congealed in the body, despite efforts at preservation. Necrosis of the flesh and epidermis has already begun and is approaching advanced stages. Rigor Mortis has not set in. The joints are pliable and exhibit a full range of motion to the point of hyper extension. All organs have begun to necrotize, except the brain, which appears to be covered in a thin, mucousy film. The brain has been biopsied and will be sent to the lab for further study. Overall, the results of the autopsy are inconclusive. Cause of death remains multiple organ failure. Patient Zero returns to “life” and attacks the medical examiner, biting her. (You can guess what happens from here.) Day 3: The entire hospital is overrun by “Strange Ponies”. The infected begin pouring into the streets. Rioting begins and everypony who is not infected is informed to stay in their homes. Manehattan is put under Quarantine. Fast forward to Day 9: The Manehattan City Council has informed any and all Survivors through the city-wide PA system that an airship to Canterlot has just landed outside of the city and is willing to transport any and all uninfected to Canterlot and the surrounding cities. Seats are limited and who knows when the next ship will come? In the words of Mayor Studs McKenzie, “This is your last shot! Either leave or stay home. You have 48 hours.” This is it. Your final chance to leave Tartarus. Character Skeleton: Name: (What are you called?)

When one of her patients personally attacked her, she took his head off with her bone saw before going home out of shock. She didn't leave her house to go back to week until day 7. By the time she left her house, the city was practically overrun with the undead. Heartburn broke into the hospital she once worked at and grabbed a bunch of random syringes to operate on possible survivors of the plague. she filled 5 syringes with water so that she could label them with a certain drug in order to induce a placebo effect to save on supplies (even she doesn't know if it's the actual drug or not.)

He would force Ponies to do things they were terrible at using his unique hypnotic powers causing laughter and bits to flow onto him. Sure there were always towns like Ponyville who chase him out, but he still made a good living. He was preforming a show during Day 3 when rioting broke out. Knowing he needed protection as he had no weapons on him, he hypnotized three terrified PolicePonies to protect him. Ever since he's used them as bodyguards and has made a living through that./ He is a sarcastic pony who will usually place himself above anyone else. He is not afraid to use another pony and does it willingly, but will try to make sure nothing to terrible comes out of it. He is a chronic liar and will do so to gain a higher standing among groups. However once he becomes integrated within the group he is typically a loyal Colt, and will do many things to insure the group's well being.
Yep! I had a dry spell in RP. But I've come back to wreak havoc! FLEE PONIES! FLEE AT THE AWESOME MIGHT OF A SARCASTIC ACTOR! MWHAHAHA!!!! -Coughs- But it's good to be back. I've missed everypony.
Name: Cyanside (Her other personality calls herself Shadow) Age: Filly Race: Pegasus Cutie Mark/ Special Talent: Black Half of the Yin-Yang symbol (Changes to the white half when her personality changes.) Appearance: Blue Eyes, White Coat. Long straight light blue mane (which curls up at the end) with dark purple streaks. Tail is entirely light blue except for right at the end of it where it becomes a dark purple. (When her personality changes the purple in her mane and tail becomes prominent with blue streaks and her coat darkens) Inventory: A Lighter, 2 bottles of water, and three apples. (If this last one is too much leave it out) A pair of metal boots (like the ones Celestia/Luna wear) Personality: Split between the happy, outgoing Cyanside, and the dark, isolated Shadow, It is unknown what causes the change to occur. Cyanside is easily distracted, absent-minded, and quirky. Has trouble taking anything seriously and can never seem to sit still. Is often overly friendly. Shadow is the polar opposite of Cyanside, often preffering to do things on their own, and rarely expresses positive emotion. Shadow possesses a strange affinity for fire and is adept at hoof-to-hoof combat. Background: A Pony who had the unfortunate luck of being in Manehatten on an delivery errand during the out-break. Stayed with the delivery client (A kind stallion named Stormhoof) when the quarantine was put in place. Stormhoof left at day 8 and still hasn't returned. Determined to find him and escape the city together, Cyanside sets foot in the zombie-infested town. Hope this is okay, cause I'm really looking forward to this.
Name: Starlight (usually called Star) Age: Colt Race: Unicorn Cutie Mark [talent]: Trio of stars [can grant simple, reasonable wishes.] Occupation: Wanderer Inventory: Machete, Medium-sized Canteen, 2 First-Aid Kits, 1 Hoof-made Map of Equestria's Secret Roads and Tunnels, Book of Spells. Personality: Usually, Starlight is quiet and reserved, dues to his years of wandering alone throughout Equestria. He is a kind and gentle spirit, though, always stopping to lend a helping hoof to anypony in need. Can become saddened when talking about his family (especially his twin brother, Starbright). Backstory: Starlight had stopped in Manehatten to stock up on supplies before the outbreak and was trapped inside the city by the quarantine. On Day 6, he had watched in horror as a young foal got bitten by her own parents and slowly changed into the monster they became. On Day 7, he was forced to protect himself against that very foal. Traumatized by the incident, he had vowed to protect any and all ponies from that fate by using his knowledge of the inner workings and secrets of the city to escape the quarantine and the ever-growing zombie onslaught.
