Darkness Falls
OOC

This RolePlay will be classified as free roam/survival. Meaning, each character may have it's own story line, or plot line, as defined by the person of which created said character. Also, above all else your main goal is to survive until rescue should be provided. But if rescue will ever come, nobody knows.

The Setting
The year is 2036; Kansas City, Missouri.

Ten years ago a very quick, hard hitting and entirely unexpected pandemic washed over the face of the earth; its cold fingers tearing away the lives of several hundred thousand each day. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, stacked in piles and hauled off in masses as deaths occurred faster than the dearly departed could be put to rest. Ever so slowly, the death rate lessened as the virus that caused so much havoc died down; all of humanity pushed to the brink of extinction.

Soon enough, those that were left alive had begun to band together and start try to restart what the people had once known to be their world. Using whatever supplies that could find, and the small working force that they could gather, people began to rebuild; though crudely.

One day, while out on his own looking through abandoned stores to gather supplies for their small civilization; one man saw a seemingly injured person limping its way towards him. Curious, and worried for the person, the young man approached and spoke out loudly, inquiring as to if it needed help. The creature groaned, causing the man more reason to worry. Though, he had already gotten too close. The thing lunged forward, throwing its massive weight, and decayed flesh, atop the man; its teeth tearing though his skin and ripping away tissue. The man would have screamed, but he had already been destroyed... cursed to change and become like that of the monster that devoured his life that day; a strange mutation of humanity, the remnants of what was thought dead.

Current Events
The first sighting of the supposed Zombies, though they were really mutants, was a year and a half ago. Since then, they've amassed and began to roam freely; or in groups. The small cluster of people have encountered many, most have died, and those that were smart knew that if they stayed in that area, they would surely die. Because of this, they've wandered out on their own or with a companion. Mutated, mindless and hunting humans have taken the streets; their bodies virtually immune to all pain and their senses prone to one instinct... eat. What they crave is meat, preferably fresh. Where would such a thing come from? You. You are their source of food, and you are what they are constantly searching for; to feel their mandibles rip through your flesh and make an attempt to sate their insatiable hunger.

This is just a general outline of the whole thing; so that I can get the basic idea across. If enough people are interested, I'll introduce the limitations for beginning characters; such as the allowed starting areas and weapons... restricting rules like "No, you can't find a military base and steal a helicopter to kill all the zombies and fly away", ya know? I hope to also find a way to include a few types of playable zombies, or mutants, for your interest.

Also, this RP is meant to entertain and has no definitive end. If your character dies before it is over, than make a new character and start again! It's fairly easy

If you think it may be interesting, just let me know; when there are enough people I'll go ahead and make an OOC thread and whatnot. You could also send me a message and try to pry out little details that I didn't plan on revealing until the actual OOC is up, or things that I was going to throw at you mid-RP. XD
