The year 2017, an outbreak had spread. One day, life had been normal, and seemingly the next, civilization was clinging to a small hope. Cities burned, families torn, lives taken at an alarming rate. This was no ordinary virus, no, for it had devastated worse than the black plague. Nobody seemed to know what the mysterious virus was, for it had killed faster than humanity could even process. Three years have passed, and little of the world before remains.
Quickly, it was nicknamed "Virus Z" by the survivors, who were both fighting for survival against the infected and the virus itself.
Quickly, survivors fled the large cities in hopes to find refuge in the less populated countrysides. Here is where our story takes place, in a small city in Montana. Formally known as Redville, but now lovingly nicknamed the "Safe Haven", survivors had banded together in a desperate attempt to protect themselves from the harsh reality outside their city limits.
RULES
- Follow the Iwaku rules.
- Keep IC and OOC drama separate.
- You can have up to three characters. If you have used all three slots, and wish to create a new one, you can kill one off and submit a new CS.
- You can start off your character in no group, but realistically, if they were to come to a city in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, they'd probably want to be in some sort of structured group for protection. So eventually, have them recruited. As in, soon.
- No Mary-Sues and Gary-Sues, obviously.
- Your character is not unbreakable. They can be infected, they can be shot, damaged, etc. If they leave a fight, keep it realistic.
- Balance out their strengths and weaknesses. A super buff character may not be as fast as a slimmer, long legged character, and a slimmer character wouldn't be as strong as a buff character.
- First come first served on the higher ranks. Just be active, or else your position will be given to another member.
EXTRA INFORMATION
Here's some details I couldn't really squeeze into the description.
- The virus had started in Spain, and spread throughout Europe and Asia quickly. America and Canada took in refugees, so there's a high chance of multiple nationalities.
- First signs of the virus are (in order of stages):
+ Irritation or paranoia +
+ Insomnia +
+ Blood shot eyes +
+ Foaming at the mouth +
+ Involuntary twitching of limbs or eyes +
+ Fainting +
+ Constriction of air ways, making it hard to breathe +
+ Blood flow slows, making skin paler and more sickly +
+ Skin appears yellow-ish +
+ Hallucinations +
+ Loss of control over oneself +
+ Welcome to zombieland, kid +
- It is possible to be infected through:
+ Bodily fluids. Blood, saliva, etc +
+ A weak immune system. If you're sick, it's more likely you can become infected just by chance. +
+ Polluted waters. +
+ Direct contact. Meaning: don't let the rabbis kid sneeze on you. +
- Redville, now "Safe Haven" is a decently sized, yet small town with a former population of 12,340.
- The final stages of loss of civilization happened about three years ago, so it's the year 2020 now.

Alright. Here is a bit of the cut down copy pasted content. The only change is now that there is one group instead of three. We don't have nearly enough players for that.
