Alright so I really, really couldn't get this idea out of my head. I think that a zombie apocalypse OC story would be amazingly fun to write. It's open for a week so get in while you can! There will be seven or eight main characters, and the rest I don't choose I may or may not use. Now before you ask what the heck is the beginning all about, I just wanted to add it, because well I'm not sure. I just kinda thought it up and decided it would be a kind of cool intro. If you don't like it sorry, just ignore it then!

Virus.
What is a virus?
Do we not realize that we, ourselves are a virus?
We are human beings, a virus plagued on the planet Earth for unknown reasons.
Parasite.
What is a parasite?
We scorn upon such a creature, but are we any better?
Is it not true that we take and take and take some more from Earth? We are the parasites and the Earth is our host. We cannot live without the Earth, just like a tapeworm cannot live without a human.
A parasite benefits at the expense of the host - the parasite uses the host to gain strength, and the host loses some strength as a result.
Do we not do just that? We take some of the Earth's resources to make us a more advanced civilization, but causing Earth to become weaker.
Maybe an apocalypse is due. Maybe it can cleanse the virus known as humans. The world is already dying, and each of it's parasites along with it. We ask God for help, but he wants us to see our mistakes. We may not be able to fix them, but future generations may be able too. The possibilities are endless.

RULES:
1) No superhero or superpower people please. I hope you understand why!
2) NO MARY SUES OR GARY STUS! I did some OC stories on a past account of mine, and lets just say I got more than enough of these characters.
3) Be creative! Right now the Emo/loner personality is very popular to, so please kind of stay away from it. Think of the characters you don't see often, like a shy guy or a popular girl or a nerd. I haven't really seen those in any stories, plus there are so many more to add to the list!
4) You MUST PM me your OC. When they're in the reviews, it can get really hard to keep track of them. So if you don't PM, than you're not getting in. Simple as that.
5) Be VERY descriptive please. It really helps and if you only give me like one liners, I'm not going to really be able to understand your character.
6) You can send in 2 OC's at the most. No dating or anything though please.
7) Please have fun making your character! I don't want you to go through the time of making a character you didn't really have fun making It! :)

2) There is no longer a due date. I'll be accepting ones that i like and such, soo send now! :)
3) I'm only accepting like seven or eight high school students, and maybe or maybe no towns people and such.
4) The apocalypse in the story will start on November 1st, 2015.

Her back has two clashing Katana's that go from each shoulder down to just above her butt. A tribal dragon tattoo's tail starts at her right foot and ankle and snakes all the way up her calf, thigh, and hip, and the curves across her stomach. It's head rests a over her left hip. She just loves tattoos and as long as she keeps up with her sports, her dad doesn't care if she gets them.
School Status: The Athlete
School Activities/Clubs: She does Boxing, Kendo, and Soccer. She would do more, but she doesn't have the time.
Personality: Aisha is a very athletic girl. She dedicates all her time to her three sports and barely has time to sleep in between them. She isn't really all that tomboyish, but she prefers just a sports bra and some spandex over some nicer clothes. She's very popular among people, but really doesn't have much time for real friends. The friends she does have though, consist of mainly athletic guys, just because most girls don't like how she's all sporty. She has a sweet friendly personality when it comes to most, unless you get on her bad side. It's pretty easy to get on her bad side because she gets angry really easy, that's why she took up boxing so she could punch all of her anger out without hurting anyone. She doesn't exactly know what fun is other than fun in sports, so you could just have her do chores or something and she wouldn't understand it's not fun. She is willing to do anything for anybody and sometimes that can be a really bad thing as people can take advantage of her. She can get very aggressive easily and actually won't hesitate to punch you if you get her mad. She is also a very jealous person, although she would never admit it. If there was a guy she liked and another girl was with him and was loving all up on him, she would get all huffy and puffy and would go pout and cross her arms like a child. She is a very friendly person overall, just don't make her mad.
Strengths: Sports. Fighting, all those boxing and kendo skills built up. Coming up with quick, effective strategies. Really she's just good at anything that has to do with athleticism.
Weaknesses: saying the right thing, she often gets her words all jambled up and usually ends up saying the wrong thing. She very gullible and believes things very easily. Handling her anger. Flirting, she's never really understood how to flirt or if someone is flirting with her. Although she can tell when other people are flirting, especially if someone is flirting with the person she likes. Hiding her emotions, she's like an open book. Sometimes she has problems holding conversations.
Likes: She likes sports and working out. Anyone who can talk sports with her. People who are motivated to try their best. She loves storms and animals as well. She adores kids as well.
Dislikes: Mean people. It takes all her will power not to punch them. She hates the dark and people who don't care about anything.
Fears: Shes afraid of failing someone. She won't admit it easily, but she's absolutely terrified of the dark. She has to be with someone to not freak out that bad.
Love Interest: Aisha is definitely not picky. She wouldn't want somebody that is physically weak or that can't take a good beating though. She'll go for any guy if they prove they're somewhat athletic and not lazy slobs. It could be a pervert, a nerd, an emo guy, anybody! It doesn't matter to her as long as they can prove they're not totally lazy.
Talents: Motivating people. Getting people to work out with her. Begging.
Theme Song (optional):
Opinion on "Them": She thinks of them as opponents. As if they are trying to test her will and strength. She hates them and wants them all to doe.

Her mother died at childbirth, but she does have an older brother that's a couple of years older. He's in a college for a football scholarship. Aisha's dad was a very sporty guy and pushed her to do all the sports she does now, and is happy he did. She didn't really have a tragic childhood, just a pretty busy one.
Family:
Dad: her dads name is Bryan and she's not sure if he's infected or not. He's very supportive of her and her sports and often trains with her. He coaches her and her select soccer team. She loves him and is very happy he pushed her to do her sports. He was a famous football player in his youth.
