Outbreak | Open

[idyllic]

There's an outbreak of Scourge, get your weapon drawn. It's not a metaphor, time to fight and survive.

Over 15 years ago, everything started in a lab in Norway. There was a group of scientist who had a brilliant idea, or at least what they thought was brilliant. This idea was to try to figure out a way to make humans feel less pain, be smarter, stronger and better in general. They thought they may be able to inject a fluid fill with the chemically created abilities into people. They tested it on a number of animals before they tried it on humans. It worked amazingly well on animals, and the group assumed it would work just as well on humans, though they were very wrong. The chemical (which they started calling Chemical E7) was even more effective on humans, well at least for a while. The people who tried it got stronger everyday, until their animal instincts took over. Those people started dying, then coming back to life. They could fell no pain, were exceedingly fast and hungered for human flesh. The Norwegian scientists stopped using Chemical E7, but the damage was done, since these infected couldn't be killed easily and the symptoms could infect others from a bite of scratch of the infected. These infected people began to be called Scourge and the governments around the world built quarantines and safehouses, but the Scourge couldn't be stopped. They moved like wildfire over the earth and the world entered anarchy. People were running to their government safe cities, where they were blocked off from the rest of humanity.

Now, in 2033, 20 years later, most people life in the quarantined cities. In these places, people live in worn out apartments, ration cards are the only way to get food legally and illegal smugglers traverse the zombie covered wilds to earn money.

If you couldn't discern what the plot of this roleplay is from that, I will explain it in this paragraph. So basically, this is a bit of an open roleplay. There is no set area where you are supposed to be, but I would like if characters could stay in the New York area. You can be whoever you would like, such as a law-abiding person living in a quarantined city, or a smuggler traversing the zombie-infested country side. You could also be in the specialized military unit, Echo Squad, to fight the Scourge.

» Literacy. This is posted in the semi-lit roleplay area, so I want you to write at least two good sentences. I would also like somewhat proper grammar and spelling, but it doesn't have to be perfect.
» Reservations. I am allowing reservations, though there isn't really a limit of characters, but I will only hold the reservations for 72 hours (3 days). If don't have your characters up by then, I will remove them from the list and open up the spot once more. Also, please send reservations through PM.
» Activity. Please, I would like if you could post at least twice a week. It's not that hard and I don't want to have to delete inactive people from this thread. If you are going on vacation or have some other reason for not posting, just PM with your reason. I understand people have lives outside of the internet.
» Characters. First of all, you can only have one character because the spots are limited. Sorry. Secondly, I do not want Mary-Sues or Gary-Sues. Please give characters weaknesses, diversity and make them unique.
» LGBT. I fully support lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transexuals etc. so I really wouldn't mind seeing them in this roleplay. I like to see diverse characters, so feel free to make them.
» God-Modding. I know characters get into scuffles and zombies (or Scourge) are very capable of hurting characters, but I don't want people killing or severely maiming other peoples characters without the owner consent.
» Forms. Make your own, but please include these things ; name, age, gender, history, looks (description or photo), personality and job/rank (smuggler, unemployed, army etc.).

Ana Leith/24/Single/Smuggler/Paralian.

[idyllic]

Hi, I'm Analiese Emma Leith, but call me Ana.

Ana was a normal girl starting out college in London, England (age 20) and she had already lived there for a year when the outbreak started. She immediately got on one of the flights back to New York, where her family were currently living, but when she got there, only her mum was left. Her older brother and father had both volunteered to go into the specialized army unit to fight the Scourge. Her mum never went to college and was working a part time job, though that didn't pay the bills, and when the ration cards started being given out, her mother only got two a month. That was not nearly enough, so Ana started smuggling. She brings goods into the number one shipping and smuggling company, Firefly, then distributes different goods back to survivor outposts outside New York. Her pay is either in food or ration cards. When she originally started smuggling, she was given a pistol, 10 clips and a backpack with the goods, and water. She was then told not to get killed. Her first mission was hard and ran into a horde of Scourge, she barely made it to the survivor outpost in time. It got easier for her after multiple mission and eventually she figured out that if you are silent and sneak around the Scourge don't come after you as often. She now owns a bike that she uses for smuggling, her pistol and a bow and arrow. (Bikes are good because they are quick and relatively silent, so she can move around fast and easy. Also, bows are good because they are a silent way of killing Scourge and you can hunt quietly with them.)

Ana is now 24 years old in May (it is currently September) and weighs around 100lbs and is 5'4. As you can see, she is short and doesn't weigh a lot, she is a great fighter, though. Ana isn't scared of much, but her biggest fears would probably be one of her family dieing or heights. Yes, she knows that heights is a pretty stupid thing to be scared of. Ana has grey-green eyes and blonde hair, and she knows she doesn't look like she'd be a smuggler. Don't underestimate her though, as she's seen things that she has done everything she can to forget.
