[@Kuro] I was thinking that it could have rained multiple times throughout the last few years, but not as bad as the first year. The rain carries a virus that only affects those over fifteen years old, So who stay out of the rain definitely won't get affected. I really like your idea for the zombie route! :) Well I'm planning the roleplay to start six years later, So it would be people who are survivors. It can be a mix of both adults and teenagers. My plan is to have everyone either include in their character sheets how they survived in the rain and survived all those years or in their first post. I'm planning for the roleplay to be based in a safe haven located in nevada... still giving it some thought. but I'm pretty sure I want it based in nevada. Someone had messaged me privately about how people would survive without a drinkable water source, But since it is virus it won't survive hot temperatures. so the water is drinkable after being boiled. unless you have a different idea I would love to hear it.
