ALIGNMENT

Alignment is the system used in Role playing games, specifically Dungeons and Dragons. It basically outlines your characters morals and ethics.

Here are the choices:

Lawful Good
Neutral Good
Chaotic Good
Lawful Neutral
Neutral
Chaotic Neutral
Lawful Evil
Neutral Evil
Chaotic Evil

Read this article that summarizes the system.

Your alignment during ZRP applies to how your character acts during the game. This determines if he/she is someone who works well within a group, can follow orders, cares for the lives of others, or works well alone, wills to harm other players and does not care for others. By choosing your alignment for your character you MUST act according to what you chose. For example if you are a lawfully good character you should NEVER kill another player on purpose. Your alignment and other traits for your character including equipment may change, in order to do this delete your original post and re-post it. Do not use the "edit" option because your change will go under the radar and nobody will notice.

ARCHETYPE
There are three archetypes.
-Enforcer: Classes that specialize in combat. Ex. Soldier.
-Medic: Classes that specialize in healing. Ex. Doctor, Priest
-Support: Classes that work especially well with groups. There abilities benefit a team and can be necessary for long term survival.

There must be AT LEAST one of each archetype in a ZRP game.


WEAPON SYSTEM
The old weapon level system is gone. It was stupid and too confusing. From now we are keeping it simple by specifying which weapons players can use. This means that classes can use:

Assault Rifles, SMG's, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Handguns, Grenades, Molotov Cocktails.

Most of the time it wont be specified "which" assault rifle/smg/shotgun ect. This is because it can be difficult getting that specific weapon in a ZRP game. You must write which weapons your character can use. The soldier is one of the only characters who has the ability to use every weapon on the first day. After the first day (if you survive 1 full game) you have the ability to use any weapon no matter what class you are. If you die you restart from day 1.

Medics are prone to using melee combat, handguns (specifically glock), and SMG's.
Enforcers can use any of the weapons but no character can use all of them.
Support classes are prone to melee combat, handguns, SMS, Snipers, and projectiles.

Doesn't trust anyone in the city, he was just sent in to destroy any moving thing but is willing to spare a life, for a price.

This class is a bit overpowered. I would take one set of grenades out and the backback. So its an SMG and a set of grenades.

No, you can change it, but we are hoping to bring ZRP to be a more long term experience, with players surviving multiple games (although hard.)
