This update will be a bit toned down compared to the last one since I haven't exactly done many big changes, just a bunch of secret ones.
You'll notice two boards that are located in the Plotter and the Umbrella Database that you cannot access. They are the Vault and Artist Work space. These two areas are for special members who are helping design things on the forum. The Vault is mostly there for Valerie to do her thing and create a bunch of things that'll make everyone run for their lives, the Artists area is for the people who will be helping design stuff like: Maps, visuals, design layouts (walls, buildings, etc).
To get access to these locations you have to PM me and give me a good reason to include you in on either project. You can also skype me if you have that dealio (alice.in.zombie.land). I'm not looking for people to join the vault so much as I'm looking for people to help design graphics and stuff. The Vault kind of comes with experience with posting lab reports and B.O.W. designs in the Umbrella Database section.
The Plot
You'll notice that the plot is ever going and in every thread to some degree. Most plot threads that have been posted have actually been posted by normal members, now granted, these members are mostly veterans to the forum who have been with us since the first run of Dead Sight but they have no admin powers or any say so over the forum in general. Their inclusion of plot elements is GREATLY welcomed because even I, the head admin, like to be surprised by things that I have supplied to you guys. Please keep up the good work and remember that most of the plot is winged off the top of my head and rarely planned out, that gives us a non-linear feel.
"Bad asses"
I hate using the words Bad Ass to describe a character because it's not fresh and it only defines a character that knows how to win win win. Remember guys, when designing your characters even if they are B.O.W.s I'm looking for realism to a degree. No one always wins, no one always fights, stamina is a factor for everyone, I want to see survival I want to see horror. That being said, people who continue that whole, "I'm a bad ass watch me kill this horde of zombies, yadda yadda yadda," will find the same treatment that most targets are given and we will make a point out of you.
That being said! I'm not trying to be a jerk but even the strongest of us have trouble with the monsters here, remember that and we'll keep you in our good graces.
Vampires/Lycans
9 years ago everyone saw an Alucard everyone saw a Dante, everyone saw this and that. They were easily explained, Alucard is a product of an ancient virus that acts similar to the Vampire curse which makes people into vampires. That same virus Sanguinare Vampiris has been used on certain people to create artificial vampires. Vampires have extraordinary abilities but they must maintain a feed level of blood in order to use those abilities. They are often weaker in the sunlight and have an allergic reaction to 'holy' silver and garlic.
Lycans were developed by Keto Seroth off the Wolfman legends. The Lycan virus bonds with a human to create their lycan form with extreme pain and in order to revert they must part their cells in yet another painful experience to revert back to human form.
There is a 'devil gene' which makes up the powers of Dante and many other 'demons' like Kasami the Ookami. This gene is in a good amount of people but through some form of gene manipulation the capabilities of the gene can be unlocked. Naturally the Devil Gene can be unlocked in a very very small percent of people.
This thread may be edited to include more updates over the next week, the major ones are there. With Zambi dead his crew may be dissolved into Wonderland or Patriot unless a leader steps forward.
We'd like to welcome!
