April, 2016.
The World was just the world. Normal, coffee drinking, office jobs, bullshit problem people walking and scurrying about the Earth worried about the next election. Worried about which celebrity was in the news that day. Global warming, North Korea, CNN, yada yada yada. We all know where we were when it happened. When everything changed. When our fabric of understanding was ripped asunder from our complex and was formed into something that embodied the unknown, terror, and pure chaos. Change brings transformation, and the world transformed forever. The Breachers came, and they took away everything we've ever known and loved. This time, it wasn't a comic book, nor a movie...where the USA bands together on the hope and will of a nation to stop a very unrealistic threat in the first place. Along with the world that joined in on the premise of human victory. Like I said...this time that wasn't the case. We lost. We lost our lives, our security. We lost ourselves. It started with the big cities. New York, LA, DC, Paris, Rio, Tokyo, Sydney....the rest trickled into oblivion. They were smart, they were cunning, and above all....no one expected the unbelievable to happen. And now...probably less than 5% of humanity remains. And this is only the beginning, their beginning...we had hope.
And then they dropped the bombs. The Aliens created the Zombie Apocalypse.
NOW: September 2016
6 months have passed since The Scrub, the cataclysmic event that wiped out humanity on an unexpected whim from the greater beyond, the Extra Terrestrial. Alien. They released a necromorphic virus that replaces dead cells with animated putrifaction. Zombies, created by Aliens. Such a weird term to call them now. Last we heard there are absolutely no ground communities left. Many have to remain under the radar in order to evade the sky radar and technology that the Breachers possess. Currently the USA is still functional, we get word every month or so from DC, Denver, and Los Angeles. New York is gone. Anyone else either isn't large enough or alive enough to have the means to communicate. DC checks in with Paris and Beijing from time to time. Tokyo has chosen to remain absent from involvement, and who knows about the rest. Oh by the way, other than the appearance and what they can do, we don't know shit about their cause, their language, their tech, anything. Makes me wonder why we even fight. All I know is...this is the world now, and if we're going to survive, we'd better make the shit count. We talked about how fun a zombie apocalypse would be right?
No one signed up for this shit.
Rules
- No mary or Gary sues, no OP or making situations where you will come out invincible (ex. no killing 345 zombies by yourself)
- Be realistic with your characters as well, if you were an accountant before the outbreak then there's no way that you should have military sniper sharpshooting skills or access to loads of weapons/ordinance unless he served reasonably.
- No possessing a ton of weapons and items like on a game, seeing as how a person can only carry so much. Make it realistic.
- Fights and challenges are encouraged, but no killing anyone off by post, injure, beat, what have you, but only I have the power to kill.
- I don't care about adult situations or anything like that, especially in this universe where things are so gritty. Just be mindful and meaningful with it.
- Every choice has a consequence, be careful...
- HAVE FUN ^_^
- Yes, the setting is Illinois
(for now...hehe)
Tweaker
Human under the influence of a alien necro-infection, they are just as dead as ever, with enhanced senses and reflexes. However they're zombies by science. Slow moving, witless, empty. They can still die by any mortal means. Distinctive by glowing and luminescent skin. Cure from infection not yet found. Another symptom is multi colored rainbow eyes.
Breacher
Rarely EVER seen out of their tactical approach of dead humans, these creatures are very clever and cunning. Hexapedal creatures that cause them to reach above average speeds. They emit a cyan glow that is actually their synaptic brain-like processes. They have four very sharp tendrils that also contain the alien substance known now as Proto. This bright glowing material is what leeches into the human blood and brain and lallegedly links the host to the Breacher. Science behind it is undiscovered at this time. Breacher skin is equivalent to that of an Alligator. There are four nodes on the aliens' forearms that are linked to its muscular stamina. We have found that shooting it in the head/face, as well as the heart/torso isn't effective as it would be to a human, however, disabling these nodes on the arms causes the Breacher to become strained and fatigued, thus leading to inactivity of tendrils (thus leading to decapitation of limbs to "kill" it). Still working on a definite means of death. Once hit with a tendril and exposed to the Proto Venom, The Breacher is believed to have FULL access to the subject's body, heart, and mind, even subconscious. The substance has been discovered to be DIFFERENT from the necro-virus. Be careful around these bastards.
