Hey everyone! This is my first time doing a group interest check on this site. So please be nice. :D

Premise
From the Diary of Jane Lewis

I think this might be it for me. It's hard to believe that the world has pretty much ended. Well, the world as I knew it. It was just a few days ago but it feels like an eternity ago that I was worried about my sixteenth birthday. And now? Well, I'm writing this down in hopes that someone some day might find it. If anyone lives through this.

So it all started just a few days ago. Just another normal day. Until my dad turned on the TV. The news was covering this virus outbreak in China. At first it was just mentioned. No one paid all that much attention to it. And the world went on without much care. It wasn't until I was at school that everything turned for the worse. Scott stood up and told everyone to pull out their phones. At first Teach was so pissed. It was actually kind of amusing. Then Scott shoved his phone in her face. Then she went really pale and we all started pulling out our phones.

I couldn't believe what was on the news sites. A ZOMBIE PLAGUE? It was sweeping across Asia rapidly. All flights were shut down. Every ship was denied port everywhere. Every nation was locking down their boarders. The photos were just horrifying. I wasn't the only one who lost it.

The school tried to keep everyone on campus. But I wasn't having none of that. Along with a bunch of other students we ditched the place and headed home. By dinnertime the "plague" had reached almost every nation in the world including mine. It swept across our town yesterday. Everyone I knew, everyone I loved is infected. I don't know why I was spared. What I do know is that they're hunting me down. I wont last much longer. Already I hear them downstairs.

I love you Mom, Dad and Nate. I guess I'll see you soon.

Important Dates:
March 22, 2018
WHO in China reports a strange illness. It was documented that the first stage caused the victim to have severe flu symptoms. The second stage hits almost three hours later and results in death. The third stage occurs 6-12 hours after the second. The deceased appears to "live" once more. But they have no brain activity, heartbeat, nor do they breathe. Scientists dubbed this stage the Zombie stage. China quarantines the infected villages. The Army is rapidly infected and quarantine fails.
March 23, 2018
With the fall of the Chinese Quarantine efforts there are reported Zombies in most of Asia. All air traffic is grounded and most countries close their boarders to all boats and other ships. Despite their best efforts there are now infected individuals in every nation. Scientists speculate on the incubation stage. It's postulated that it might be for a few days unlike the visible symptoms.
March 24, 2018
Pretty much 90% of the world in infected. Cities fall into chaos.

Zombies
For the purpose of this RP Zombies are the mindless shamblers. They're slow moving, dumb, but tenacious. They don't give up but are easily fooled. If you are bit by a zombie you might not turn into one. The virus is not spread that way. There is one exception is the "Smart" Zombie who retains their humanity and has control over themselves.

Characters
The uninfected and "Smart" Zombies are acceptable. However I will only accept 1-2 Zombie characters. I want more humans than zombies.

This is interesting. I presume you'll explain the mechanics behind the infection at least? Since it seems to differ from the standard bite = zombie formula.

Sure! If something's unclear just ask. And for future reference this wont be knowledge any character will know.

The infection is airborne. The reason for this will be explained later IC.

I suppose I have some question- do the smart zombies look like smart zombies? Do they have any motivations given to them from the infection like spreading the disease or compulsions to consume flesh? Or do they have complete control over themselves? @Sergeant

Smart Zombies look the same as regular zombies.

There is no compulsion to spread the virus. Only to devour. They will be hungry all the time but they retain their ability to control themselves (and their mind of course). Non-smart zombies are your typical mindless shamblers who only care about their next meal and they're never satisfied.

That clear things up? I should add all this to the OP since I'm obviously failing at explaining my Zombies well.

Well, with three people interested I think I have enough to make a thread. If you guys have anymore questions leave them here. I'll get working on the OOC and everything tomorrow.

I am also interested in this.

Because zombies. And not your typical virus that spreads through bite so I want to see how this develops.
