Inspiration: Resident Evil, Zombie Survival Guide, Left for Dead
The year is 2059 a dangerous pathogen known as "Vrykolas-Romero Virus" (VRV) Began infecting humans throughout the eastern side of North America approximately six months ago. The VRV is unlike any other virus humankind has ever seen before. The initial strain of the virus was to cure all deadly diseases; it was supposed to be the next big thing! It was totally ambitious and dangerous; they knew it had complications, but how bad they did not realize. The VRV mutated in its hosts killing them after two weeks of exposure, sometimes faster depending on the individual person. After death it could take several minutes or even hours for the corpse to reanimate itself, these reanimated corpses have collected quite a few nicknames. "Walkers," "Walking dead," "Z's," and many others. These creatures only know one thing. The need to feed.
Since the appearance of these "Zombies" worldwide panic was quick to ensue, the larger cities taking the fall first. The Americans were blamed and left to their own devices while the other countries fended for themselves. A group of close knit scientists and some Government hire ups have locked themselves away in their own private bunker to attempt to cure this virus. Whether they are still in activity the rest of the country does not know.
As for the survivors they have made their own discoveries about the undead that the scientists never predicted. Some never stopped mutating. The mutations ranged from pack like hunting techniques, while some lost sight all together. Some were so fast, the likelihood of you getting away were so slim it hurt. There were some who retained some of their intelligence, preferring to become an Alpha. Then there were the beasts, the animals that contracted the VRV. Depending on the species that contracted it depended on the mutations that it took on. Most of the animals died off in response to the mutations, their bodies unable to handle it even in their undead state. Most animals developed "mole" like senses, losing sight all together. Most of them also do not come out during the day, as the sun severely damages their body beyond what already has been done by the virus. All large "z-dogs'' are found under the command of an Alpha.
Now here is where the survivor comes in to play. You are a survivor. You managed to escape the initial outbreak, whether by sheer luck and determination or because you simply had the skills for it. You could have been a part of an evacuation group or thought that it would be better to escape on your own or with someone else and staying away from large groups. You all have heard of a so called "Safe-haven" for all those that have survived. It was ironic too that it was called "Heaven." You could either be searching for "Heaven" or you want to stay as far away from it as possible. There is one more thing that has been discovered about the virus. There are those who are somehow immune to the VRV and thus become "Carriers." Because they can still infect other people, only by coming in contact with their blood or saliva, a lot of the other survivors will try to kill them. Some feel they should be able to survive just like everyone else.
There are those who are known as "False-Carriers" These people are believed to be just like Carriers, but unfortunately their "Immunity" is temporary. False-Carriers are ones who are most likely to turn into Alphas or some other mutated creature. Where will you be? Where will you go? What will you do? Who will you be?
ACTIVITY & POSTING
You must be posting at least three to four times a week. If you do not meet this requirement I request that you do not join. As for those who are really active, please allow others a chance to reply before going too far into the roleplay yourselves so that everyone can keep up with one another. Along with this I ask that a TWO paragraph minimum will be set. That means 7-10 sentences per paragraph. One liners will not be tolerated.
LITERACY
I ask that you have a basic understanding of the English language when joining this roleplay. I understand that we are all human and we can make mistakes. Basic punctuation, Capitalization, etc. No L33t speak or TXT talk. I don't want to see any sentences like that.
CHARACTERS
All characters must be made with these conditions in mind.
- Not everyone can be awesome special forces military men or women. Even these types will have flaws.
- Children can be a thing in an apocalypse, but their likelihood of survival is much smaller sometimes than any normal human being.
- Everyone is going to probably have a sad backstory. I mean it is the Zombie Apocalypse. Whether it happened because of the apocalypse or before doesn't matter.
- Be creative as you possibly can with your characters.
- Anime pictures are preferred, but you can use Face claims. I will not shun you for your choice of character.
- You are only allowed 2 characters at a time. If one of your characters die you may ask to create a new one.
- Not everyone can be a Carrier, If you wish to be a Carrier you must clear it with me first. I will be limiting Carriers to 3.
- ALPHAs – When choosing to be an Alpha you must keep this in mind. All Alpha's will be sensitive to Sunlight. You will be in control of a "pack" of feral(zombie) Animals, you must choose ONE animal that follows your orders. Be mindful that there is not a huge pack of Lions running around.
- ALPHAs – Every Alpha will excel in ONE of the Five Senses or Sixth if you will. Nothing too Supernatural please. If one of these Five Senses is taken already then please choose another one. (Touch can have 2 people though.) Each Alpha will have a heightened sense of hearing. Whoever chooses hearing as their sense I will gladly help them out with what their Alpha may have.
- ALPHAs - Be aware that all Alpha's have had some sort of mental breakdown at some point. So some of you may have psychotic tendencies, voices in your head, sadistic mindsets, etc.
RULES
-As stated above, no character is perfect and neither should they be.
-This is a roleplay about a Zombie Apocalypse, there will be blood, violence, cursing and gore. If you don't like any of these things I ask that you leave now.
- Romances can blossom in an apocalypse, it happens and it is kind of a natural thing that happens. I will not say, NO YOU CAN'T LOVE ANYONE. That just wouldn't be right to me.
- Do not be rude or obnoxious towards the other roleplayers.
- Keep arguments out of my OOC threads please.
-Please do not make your character image huge.
- Do not be afraid to ask questions if I have not made something clear.
