Woodland Misadventure Event – The Boys Zomboid

July 4th, 1993. You see the signs, something is terribly wrong in Knox County. You make a break for it. Heading west, always westwards, through Muldraugh, past Rosewood. As your car gave out, you took to hitchhiking on the side of the road, thumb outstretched in the pouring rain. Finally, your luck turns and you catch a ride with a group of like-minded individuals. Your group swaps stories of the horror and strangeness they have witnessed in Knox County deep into the night.

After making a wrong turn the cars run out of gas on a quiet backroad. In the mud and rain you all head out on foot towards a small cabin in the woods.

Character InfoDuring this event, there will be 11 characters. Six of which will have predefined roles and occupations, while the five other characters will be custom written by the player who get their application approved for a custom character. The player chooses three characters they would like to pick in order of most desired to least desired. (Keep in mind that the predefined characters have more defined roles in the plot and they start with bigger benefits (skills, perks) but also drawbacks than the custom characters.) You will be expected to come up with a name, age, and notable characteristics and backstory for characters you choose, whether they are custom or not.

Predefined Character Summaries

The D1 Defensive Lineman is like an immovable object. His size, weight and strength are at the highest levels, and thus he has performed at the highest level of football in the defensive line. His partying years are not behind him and his taste for alcohol has led him to become an alcoholic. He is also a germaphobe, at times overcome with obsessive compulsions to wash his hands and clothes in fear of becoming sick, even cleaning the surfaces about and around himself when especially overwhelmed with anxiety.

The Doctor is a weak spirited, frail, neurotic insomniac who was only convinced to leave town by his daughter. His only saving grace for the group is his medical proficiency, outclassing even the average man in his field.

The Mechanic is the original first member of the group, being the driver of the station wagon. A perfectly average man with few defining features or characteristics, he seems to be devoted to the prospect of getting the station wagon and the van fixed up and ready to go.

The Doctor's Daughter can be paranoid at times, especially in the dark, likely a trait that has been rubbed off on her by her father. Their biggest difference, however, is in their charisma and agency. The doctor's daughter tends to know what's best for others and tries her best to take care of them, beyond a purely medical point of view, something that usually takes the form of a hot meal. Those hot meals, however don't tend to be eaten by her, thanks to her case of anorexia. She would teach fitness lessons part time before the outbreak.

The Firefighter is a man who believes too much in himself. He tries to play the hero, which is what made him become a firefighter in the first place. It's also how he ended up breaking his leg, by trying to pull a stunt trying to rescue a dog from the upper story of a burning house. Also enjoys weekend woodworking projects.

The Security Guard has always been a layabout who thinks too highly of himself. Borderline obese, as well as asthmatic, he is more than willing to stay in one area and keep a watch out for the infected if it means not having to do much and getting to feel important (something that is not helped by the fact that he is the owner of the van that many members of the group arrived in, which is not something that he is liable to let people forget).

You do not need to pick all three, just a minimum of one, but it is recommended to do so since if someone makes a better application and you have no fallback then you will not be accepted whatsoever.

Select OccupationPlease be aware that we are using a custom mod that gives every occupation items which are intended to shake up the meta and make less popular occupations more viable (even nurses and electricians can play a big role now!). Also, be advised that we are using a custom tailored medical overhaul mod which will cause those unskilled in first aid to have a chance of botching treatments.
