The last thing you remembered that you were pulled to an unknown world. You were suppose to be dong whatever it was you were suppose to be doing.

But fate has conspired against you. Whoever was responsible has pulled you into the world of Survival Horror to test your survival skills and prowess against whatever the world has in store for you.

Can you make it out and survive long enough to take down the Big Bad responsible for this mess?


Welcome to "The Odds", a Survival Horror RP when a mysterious being with god-like powers has decided to put in characters from existing series/franchises in a game where he pits them to survive in a Survival Horror environment against monsters and the environment. Because of this, they need to preserve their ammo and equipment and survive to live long.

For character requirements, they need to be characters from existing series/franchises and their Superweight must be between 0 to 3. If you're playing dual characters, it's fine as long as they work together in canon.

  • Name: Ashley "Ash" J. Williams
  • Appearance: Bruce Cambell
  • Origin: (Copied from Wikipedia)In The Evil Dead, Ash and his girlfriend Linda, sister Cheryl, and friends Scotty and Shelly stay at a log cabin in the woods, where they find the "Naturon Demonto" (renamed or possibly translated to Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in the sequels), the "Book of the Dead", along with a tape recorder. The tape is a recording of the owner of the cabin, who was translating a passage of the book. By playing the tape, Ash and his friends awaken the evil spirits who can now possess the living. Ash's friends and sister are consequently possessed and killed one by one, until he's the last survivor. He finally destroys the Necronomicon by throwing it in the fireplace, and in doing so causes the possessed bodies of Scotty and Cheryl to rapidly decay and "die", and the evil seems to be driven back. However, the film ends with Ash being attacked or possibly overtaken by an evil spirit himself after leaving the cabin.

Carried a good distance by the demon, Ash is slammed hard against a tree and falls in a puddle of water; he becomes a deadite, but shortly afterwards is released from the spirit by the coming of dawn, only to pass out. Ash regains consciousness moments before sunset. Deciding to get out of there as fast as he can, he climbs into his car and drives to where the bridge was, only to find it completely destroyed by the evil force. As the sun quickly sets, said force starts climbing up the cliff, and Ash hops into his car, driving away as fast as he can and as a result, crashing right into a tree stump that sends him flying through the windshield.

With the evil close behind him, he runs into (and through) the cabin, trying to hide, and ducks into the trapdoor, waiting until the evil force leaves. After it does, Ash comes out, only to find himself stuck at the cabin with the spirits of the Evil Dead for yet another night. Shortly after, Ash hallucinates that his reflection in the mirror comes to life. After this, a deadite possesses Ash's right hand, resulting in him having to cut it off at the wrist with his chainsaw. Later, the cabin owner's daughter Annie and three more people arrive. It's near the end of this film that Ash gets his famous chainsaw in place of his right hand, with the 'boomstick' to match. The film ends with Ash being sucked into a vortex and traveling back in time to 1300 AD, where the locals claim, according to their prophecies, that he is "The Man That Falls from the Sky" who will save them from the 'Deadites'.

Army of Darkness picks up right where Evil Dead 2 left off, with Ash landing in a medieval kingdom. Ash is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., where he must battle an army of the dead and retrieve the Necronomicon so he can return home. Ash must also defeat his alter-ego known as "Bad Ash", who is leading the Army of Darkness to steal the Necronomicon. Ash constructs a mechanical prosthetic hand out of a gauntlet from a suit of armor, using it throughout the film in place of the chainsaw when it is not needed. Ash returns to the present. Here, he boasts of his victory to his coworkers, but is suddenly interrupted by the possession of a female customer. After killing it, Ash is hailed a hero and he kisses a newfound love interest.

  • Background: Ash was killing a deadite in a gas station.
  • Skills: Ash is a modestly skilled hand-to-hand combatant and tactician, but if he gets to do some engineering he really shines.
  • Equipment: A prosthetic hand, chainsaw and a double-barrel shotgun.

Yo dead,

Character sheet seems to be a mess that I can't follow if Ash is taken after the AOD movie...

Is there something I should change?

Just edit the origin part of Ash's signup. I can't tell where he's taken from in terms of which continuity.

This is how Ash's signup should be like. The way you did it, no offense, makes it look like that it's your first time.

Regardless, he should be accepted 'cause we need one guy who's Genre Savvy in a Survival Horror game. I don't know what you want to have Ash last doing, if he's minding his own business in S-Mart or something, deadpool. Let me know.


  • Name: Ashley "Ash" J. Williams
  • Appearance: Back on how Bruce Campbell looked like in Army of Darkness
  • Origin: Post-events of Army of Darkness
  • Background: (Leaving this blank for how deadpool 616 gets Ash involved in a new problem this time)
  • Skills: Ash is a modestly skilled hand-to-hand combatant and tactician, but if he gets to do some engineering he really shines.
  • Equipment: A prosthetic hand, chainsaw and a double-barrel shotgun.
  • Comments: None.

deadpool616, please let me know if the sheet is fine. I've made changes to make it look less messy.

Also update on a rule regarding dual characters.

That's fine. Sorry about all these sign-up problems, I just didn't expect you to be familiar with a Cult Classic character. I'm also to lazy to do more than copy and paste from The Other Wiki, but that's my own fault.

No worries. I do my research. All I need from you is how Ash is getting involved in this mess. I assume you want to use him from the ending of Army of Darkness?

deadpool616 Since: May, 2013 Relationship Status: Wanna dance with somebody
#11: Apr 17th 2015 at 7:07:15 AM

Yeah, the ending where he gets back to the present. I'm thinking that after that, he was arrested for the murder of his friends and placed in as insane asylum.

Okay. Just copy the signup sheet that I provided for you as a basis and use it to overwrite your previous post, deadpool. That way, it looks neat and I can add your post to the roster.

Otherwise, Ash is good to go.

Putting this signup on. Probably cliche, but I think a cop is appropriate for this situation.


  • Name: Senior Inspector Chin Hon-To
  • Appearance: Headshot of Joe Ma, the actor who plays him
  • Origin: Tiger Cubs
  • Background: Chin Hon-to has served in the Hong Kong Police Force for years, serving in the former Royal Hong Kong Police Force as a uniformed officer before he advanced up the ranks where he was recruited into the Special Duties Unit years after the 1998 handover. Making the rank of Senior Inspector, Chin was able to get to a leadership position that he was able to command SDU's Alpha Team. While he was able to meet with a young woman named Ting Wai-wai, who was a stewardess, they grew apart due to their lack of time from seeing each other and to the former's working commitment to the SDU, which requires his presence. A few months after the attempted hijacking of a cruise ship, the Senior Inspector was on a case that was related to the hostage crisis at the High Court building a few weeks ago when he got mysteriously pulled into another world.
  • Skills: As a trained anti-crime/terrorist officer, he is versed in all forms of combat, including armed and unarmed combat with small arms or martial arts. He is also trained in defensive driving and urban warfare, the latter being due to Hong Kong's environment. He is fluent in English and in Cantonese/Mandarin Chinese.
  • Equipment: Due to being called in at the last minute, Chin wore a white shirt with a black softhshell jacket, jeans, tactical gloves and boots. He is armed with a Heckler & Koch G36KV with a red dot scope mounted on the upper receiver and a Glock 17 pistol with an ITI M3 illustrator. He wears a balaclava, ballistic goggles and a MICH helmet.
  • Comments: He is based on Chin Hon-to post-season 2 of Tiger Cubs, but prior to the last episode.

Updated to say that the RP and discussion threads are now up. I'll probably start with two peeps for now if deadpool616 is ready to go.

All right. Further conversations should be directed at the discussion thread. Need to head to bed now, but I'll check back later on when I wake up.
