Hmm... Well then just include how they changed as the quarantine became harsher and harsher. There was still a period of time where the government cold still keep tack of people during the outbreaks because of various security cameras and scouting teams. (I'll alter some universe lore for this)
During the early stages of the total quarantine (by the time the barrier was being built) there were still security cameras functional within the danger-zone which allowed the authorities to catch glimpses of survivors doing various things (and seeing as we're in a near-future setting, cameras should be littered all over the city). Only recently has the deep-city cameras died down, leaving only the ones at the wall and city edges still functional.
That way you can explain the change in your CS. Does that work? =)

Trying to get back into the swing of things (for a 2nd time!)
Bio
Hi there I'm Rultaos, or simply Rult as some of my friends call me. I first got into RP'ing on two different sites back when I was in High School. The forums of the games Minecraft and Spiral Knights. Both had game-related RP's, as well as off-topic ones regarding fantasy and sci-fi. This was around 3-4 years ago. I wasn't really good at it back then, but I met a lot of great people and feel like I really improved since then.
For any of you who are curious, this was one of my biggest RP undertakings before I got into this site (My username also comes from this as a tribute to it!). It's not really a very well-written roleplay (or a very well-managed one for that matter). But it really meant a lot to me because of how far it went, how long it survived, and how it inspired my fellow players there. It always fills me with a sense of nostalgia whenever I glance at it in my bookmarks...
I got into RPGuild back when it was still using the old server (the one that got taken down after Mahz got behind on his pay and the providers ended their service without warning). I was pretty bummed when this happened because I was already actively participating in a number of roleplays, and I could only stay in contact with a select few guildmates on the Facebook group. Eventually, the long wait was over, and the site was given renewed life after a few bumps in the road that guildmaster Mahz faced in his attempts to resurrect this place. It was a good day for many including myself when this site slowly started getting more and more features.
2014 was my second year in college and was a very stressful time for me. Mostly concerning academics, with a few occasional problems regarding friends and fellow students alike. Because of this, I had to suddenly drop out of roleplaying for a while in order to have the time to get my real life back in order.
Now, I've returned to the site, and am hoping to get back into the groove of roleplaying and make more great friends and have even greater adventures through whatever huge universe your brilliant minds can think of! If you wanna invite me to play, or even just have a friendly chat about anything, send a message my way and I'll reply as soon as I can =)
For those of you who are wondering, my roleplay interests include: Sci-Fi, Military, sometimes Fantasy, a Fandom one if I'm familiar with the source material, heck I'd be willing to dabble in an Apocalypse setting as well. I'm also willing to try new things as well if it seems fascinating enough. So hit me up with an idea any time and I'd be happy to share my thoughts with you.
Well, I feel like I've used up enough for your time. Thanks for caring enough to read all this, and I hope you enjoy your roleplay adventures as much as I have in the past and the present ^_^

Rultaos, you forgot your own rule on the Character Name (Last name, first name). :P
Anyways, I think Ursa has the right idea in that npcs would be key if there are too little soldiers. In fact, its almost necessary for it to make logical sense (though, who gives a shit about logic in fiction? xD).
And Rultaos, now that you have your CS, TIME FOR THE IC!!!! WOOOOOT! :p
Yes, yes I did. Just goes to show how easy it it to make that mistake XD. Yep, I did say that there will be a LOT of troops being sent in (plus vehicles and equipment to be supplied to the Safe-Zone). And yeah, the IC shouldn't be too far behind =)
Ahh, a songwriter huh? I can respect that =). Considering I cant write lyrics for squat XD

What if your character has changed a lot after the initial outbreak?
You could imply that the outbreak may cause changes in him due to the previous state of his personality. Just be clear enough with what changes these are exactly.
There will be three of us (my character is a soldier too), but there will be about several squads of fully armed soldiers for this operation, as well as several supplies and vehicles (like armed, silent humvees) which will be airlifted into the city. So we will have a pretty strong chance against them, as long as we don't screw up XD. In fact, here's my character now:
NAME: Castor, Lionel
AGE: 38
SEX: M
PERSONALITY: Lionel displays uncommon bravery when he is on an assignment, once grabbing a live enemy grenade and throwing it back when his unit was pinned down. He is loyal to his cause, and determined to complete any mission given to him. Though his definition of success is both completing the objectives, and getting everyone back home alive. He acts like a father-figure to his men (according to his previous squads), and has had his bonds forged under fire. Aside from these, he has a “do unto others what others has done unto you” sort of behavior; he will be cooperative and friendly to those who show that sort of behavior towards him, but may also fight with someone who tries to provoke him or get in his way. Aside from these, he is somewhat a perfectionist, as he cannot tolerate failure by himself and will go to extreme lengths to make-up for his errors.
NATIONALITY: United States
MILITARY BRANCH: W.U. Anti-Terrorist Division
RANK: Colonel
SPECIALIZATION: None
BACKGROUND: Born to a family without a father (a soldier killed in action) and raised in poverty in Valhalla city, Lionel got through with his mother through a lot of hard work, though he himself had never turned to crime. They managed to scrape enough money for his studies, and he himself earned a scholarship at Valhalla University. After completing his studies, he and his mother moved to North Carolina to meet up with their aunt who the mother wished to see and give Lionel to before she died of cancer. Afterwards, he decided to join the military following his deceased father.
After surviving boot camp, he displayed exceptional skill in both combat and improvising on the field. He also became someone a few of the other cadets started looking up to. He became a fireteam leader and was deployed into anti-terror operations in the western continent. He managed to keep his squad in one piece throughout their tour of duty, and also eventually became recognized enough to be transferred to the W.U. Anti-Terrorism division. Once there, he quickly ascended the chain of command and became a Colonel. He was also one of the men assigned to protecting the Lazarus Serum aboard the cargo plane bringing it to the disposal facility. It was one of his few failures, but his greatest one.
By the time the Valhalla Crisis became a worldwide issue, Col. Lionel Castor volunteered for Operation RAGNAROK and was immediately assigned as a Field Commander following his service record.
SKILLS: Aside from above-average skill in the usage of firearms, and knowledge on several pieces of both weaponry and explosives, The Colonel is a natural leader who can rally men together under a single goal. He has also displayed an ability to improvise on the field whenever plans fall apart to make the best of a bad situation.
LIKES: Cooperative people, selfless people, free time with acquaintances, watching sports, board games, proving to wrong people that they are indeed wrong
DISLIKES: Uncooperative people, Lack of regard for human lives, Slow bureaucratic processes, making mistakes
REASON FOR VOLUNTEERING: “I need to make up for what I’ve caused... By any means necessary”

Oh wow... That's very decent of you Lionheart =O. But yeah, forgive me if I sound impatient. It's just that I've watched roleplays die within a few days of inactivity before and I dont want that to happen here. But with your word for it, I think I can wait with less restlessness now =)
Well... It depends on how quickly I get my CS up, and if I'll be inspired to write the IC immediately afterwards XD. Though I guess it should be ready in a couple of days. But I do hope the soldiers will get another character as time passes by
Vark's still here, though he may or may not be incredibly embarrassed by Sylvestra's berating XD. But yeah, who are we waiting for exactly?
Confirmed: You will now all see ruined banners and posters of the Valhalla Vikings football team, the Thor mascot costume, and uniforms of the Valkyrie cheer squad if you pass by the university XD.
@Voltus_Ventus: Your character is acceptable. Though, I would appreciate it if you kept all information after the total quarantine as unknown. There's really no way to keep track of someone once they're in the middle of the outbreak. Though some information could be had during the set-up of the military perimeter before the initiation of total quarantine.
@Mach2: Accepted with flying colors! XD
I'll get to work on my own CS, and hopefully the IC wont be too far behind =)
