Interactive Zombie Machinima - Sign Up/Character Creation

Desert Sleepy wrote:I didn't mean you guys had to change your backgrounds, I just figured since there were so many mercenary types, they could all be from the same mercenary group, instead of having one member from several different mercenary groups. That way, you can still be mercenaries, but now you'd have a reason to be friendly with each other and work together better.

Changed mine so that he has a more productive role, didn't really like the sound of my first post anyway.

Dil, KG, cut it out. Now.

The great legend FoundDa Kiwi is in.

Name: Sgt. Carter Shields
Occupation: CSF Corpsman (Naval Medic)
Helmet: ODST
Shoulders: HAZOP
Utility: Tactical Trauma Kit. (If applicable)
Color Scheme: Violet Primary, Steel Secondary, Vortex Emblem, Blank Background, White Primary Emblem Color, Aqua Secondary Emblem Color.

Backstory: Carter Shields was a Corpsman in the UNSC before he was honorably discharged for wounds sustained during the Covenant war. Not contempt with the civilian medical career he now lived, he joined the Colonial Security Force. With his Combat experience soaring high above the other medics (What other medic can say he plugged plasma burns while being bombarded by Wraith's hmm?) his superiors took notice and promoted him to the rank of Sergeant. With that, he was assigned to medical detail aboard a colonization vessel heading to the far reaches of space.

No backstory on my character because i dont feel he needs one tbh. I'll explain my character's as the story/game progresses.

You have to at least put down your job and why you might be traveling, like how other people explain it by saying stuff like "Decided to travel for X reason". If you really want it to be a secret from your future team mates, you can just PM me job/background or reason for traveling.

EDIT: Also, I still need a name for the game. Anyone can suggest one.

And I need the final say on voice acting. As of now, snowwolf is the only one to volunteer to act, if nobody else can either volunteer to act OR find some actors who will work, then I'm just going to have to go with the original plan of subtitling it.

Still need a name for the series. Also, voice actors. See my previous posts on it.

Would voice acting over Live count? If so i could help. As for the name, how about something with 'Colonial Security' in it...Or maybe just Colonial Security

No, the voice quality over Live isn't too good, I'd need somebody with a computer headset or something like that.

As for the name, it isn't really about a colony or the security of that colony or the security forces. It's about some people who have crashed their ship onto a planet. They will also inevitably find zombies on the planet, so the name should reflect that situation. Certain names, like "Infection" and stuff like it are too vague and already taken, so I'd need something a bit more original.

I'm just throwing things out here, but how about 'Endgame' ?

Name it super sgt mega survival.

The Colony

Star Trek Voyager

Crashed ship. Zombies. People trying to survive the zombies.

I'm shit with names. Extra credit to whoever can guess where I stole the NPC names from.

The problem with that name is that it doesn't really relate to the game/machinima.

And what does your friend do in machinimas? Just film them? Because collaborating with somebody else who films them will just complicate things a lot. What I really need is voice actors.

Yes is does, because the original objective was to start a colony on the planet.

The original plan was to start a colony on a distant planet. I'm pretty sure I put this in the premise, that the ship crashes long before they reach that planet. The group ends up on a planet that is not the one they intended to colonize, and due to the inevitable zombies they won't exactly be colonizing this one (wouldn't even be possible, as the presence of zombies implies there were already people there).

what i meant by that is he voice acts as well

snowwolf1996 wrote:what i meant by that is he voice acts as well

That's good then.

I'm not exactly sure how the voice acting will be done, but I assume people will record their voices on their computer using a headset or microphone and then send me the recording (which I'll in turn edit into the video).

Outpost Echo

I can voice act as well If you need someone, just let me know.

Section 9

I most definitely do need more voice actors. I'm still working on getting voice actors from off-site, but I could definitely take site help for it.

Name the game Outpost Echo because the ship was going to another world to set up an outpost and obviously the zombie thing has happened before on the planet they crashed so therefore this situation is an Echo of what happened previously (also this name does not immediately shout out "ZOMBIE MACHINIMA" so it can be more of a surprise to people who are not on the site and follow the story when the zombies are revealed)
