No one living knows exactly where the Chimera Parasites came from. Whether from space by a meteor, frozen in Antarctica and was freed when the ice containing it melted, or maybe even a government bioweapon got wrong. Only they showed up in India, and from there, They spread to the rest of the world like cancer. Infesting and transforming their hosts into cannibalistic mutants. At first, the infested was limited to zombie-like beings, and there was still a sense of order as governments tried to contain the infested and find any way to counteract the Chimera Parasites. Nothing worked, as the world was desperate for a cure. Two months after the appearance of the parasites and before the world collapsed. A special organization created by the United Nations called the Asclepius Initiative. An organization meant to study the Chimera Parasite and find a cure, and contain the infested. Asclepius Initiative set up bases around the world, and for a time, there was hope. But as if by command, the parasites started to change their hosts further. While the "zombie" form remained the default type, the parasites changed their hosts into new and more powerful forms that caught the world and Asclepius Initiative off guard. Ranging from mutant forms that were barely human to large monsters that were the size of a small building. Unable to handle these new kinds of infested, the world would collapse despite the best efforts of the Asclepius Initiative. Now, five years later, those still living and uninfested are often found in fortified settlements and despite the fall of the world. The Asclepius Initiative is still around but in a scattered and reduced state. Still, the remaining members of the Asclepius Initiative are committed to finding a cure and saving humanity from the Chimera Parasites. One such Asclepius Initiative base located in Germany, while surviving, would come across something that could lead to a cure for Chimera Parasites and save humanity while learning more about the Chimera Parasites. So begins a journey that will take them across the world and the fate of humanity lies with them. Whether or not they can succeed is solely in their hands. [center]Rules: 1.

The year is 2030 and in this rp, you will be playing as members of the Asclepius Initiative who live in an Asclepius Initiative base in Germany. Where they have been working to survive while trying to find a cure to the Chimera Parasites and save what is left of humanity. Now [center][b]Chimera Parasites[/b][/center] A Chimera Parasite is a black beetle looking parasite about the size of a apple. While easy to kill by most standards, its speed and often attacking in number usually causes a person to be overwhelm though it only takes one parasite to infest a person. By climbing on their back and attaching themselves to the spine. Specifically the top of the thoracic part of the spine. From there, they quickly take control of the host and are able to mutant the host to the specific designs of the parasite. While most parasites have a default desire to turn their host into a mutant cannibal akin to a zombie. It has been identified that there are stains or different variants of the Chimera Parasite that make their hosts mutant into specific forms. Variants that have been identified so far. Default: The zombie, the default form of the infested. While looking like the undead or just wrong. The Chimera zombie is worse than zombies we know of in human lore. For while they main method of attack is their hands and teeth like traditional zombies. They can climb, open doors and are otherwise more dangerous than expected. Variant 1: Variant 2: Variant 3: Known as Goliath, The Goliath Variant is a large building-size squid-like mutant that towers over most other mutants. Aggressive and agile despite their size. Instead of traditional limbs, Goliaths have tentacles as limbs and are also found on their mouths. Though powerful and dangerous, Goliaths are a rare sight thanks to the biomass needed to make and maintain them. But, if one is encountered then either orders are to retreat or focus all available firepower on it in the hope of killing it.
