SweetOwlette — Roleplayer Guild

On September 9th, 2015 the CDC brought alive a 30,000 year old 'giant' virus since the last Ice Age. Scientists discovered a prehistoric virus called Mollivirus sibericum in the Siberian permafrost sometime within the last months weeks. The virus is classified as a "giant" virus because it's visible by light microscopy. Mollivirus sibericum carries a complex genetic structure that houses more than 500 genes, yet the influenza virus, in comparison, has only 8 genes. When waking this virus up, scientists thought they verified that it can't harm humans and animals, but ended up being terribly, horribly wrong.

At first, nothing came of the initial infection. No indication that the giant virus harmed people. Scientists went weeks without any symptoms, until the initial the person who activated the virus. 4 weeks after initial contact with this virus, patient zero started to develop baseball size blisters. These blisters showed up everywhere besides the face, palms of the hands and feet, and genital regions. Very painful to touch or even move the body. The joints themselves were painful to move. Weakness was also another sign that the virus was taking it's full effect on the patients. Patient zero complained of a burning feeling around the areas the blisters were not present, feel hot with no fever, and continuously taking fluids in, with no output. 

After a while, blisters busted open, sending the gooey red fluid all over the place, painfully causing a open wound looking like a rose bud. When the blisters popped, it was a loud sharp popping noise. At the time, a nurse was in the room with patient zero when the blisters began to pop open. The nurse was wearing full protective gear, however, the gooey red fluid burnt through the protective gear and right into her skin like acid. The nurse didn't tell anyone that she had became infected with patient zeros fluid, in fear she would be isolated.

That nurse went home that every night to her family. Covering the areas with just band-aids and antibiotic ointment. Within weeks, the nurses and the family was experiencing the same thing patient zero was going through, while patient zero and the nurse were both dead. With little information known about the virus, the world started to panic, and for good cause. The world was experiencing something new, and had no clue how to handle it. There was still very little research about the virus, and no cure for the disease that was taking over the world. The scientist that began to do research was running out of resources, time, and hope. 

Within 6 months, no cure was found, but something interesting was going on with the dead. 64.83% of the population was dead. 24.35% was still infected while 10.82% of that population was uninfected and in hiding from the infected, and the dead burnt to prevent the spread of the virus. Burning the dead wasn't the only right thing to do, but the only thing to help.

Something made the dead, come alive again. The dead wasn't the typical "zombie". The dead could walk among themselves without needing basic needs. However, you come into contact, the dead started to become enraged with fear and just attack the living till they killed or knew the healthy were infected. Once a healthy become infected, they could walk among the dead. However, very little is also know about the dead and of course the virus. 

There was a small private research facility that was trying to conduct research, find the cure, and hope to find the remaining healthy people to save them from the virus. There are small groups of people who are trying to find this research facility to hopefully find the answers, and there are some who don't wish to see a cure. There are rogue people who simply don't care and is trying to live off the land and survive like most people are and hope to get rid of the dead.



Welcome and I hope you enjoyed. This is a Post-Apocalyptic story. Our story will begin with a each individual somehow runs into each other, and we become a fighting group, for whatever cause we see fit. 

This story is vague because it has room to grow and become something amazing. Everyone's ideas and goals will play a factor into the output of this story. We will either all die, letting a prehistoric virus killing us, or we will become successful in finding a way to surviving this giant virus. 

This is based on a loosely true story. Meaning, this is a real virus that was really found this year and woken up a few days ago. However, it has been really proven that it won't harm human/animals. I just put my own twist on this virus to create a RP. 

Anyways, now that is cleared up. I am looking for a group of 4-7 people to make this group. Our characters will face some tough stuff. We may end up losing out characters and have to create another one, or we maybe able to save them all. I ask that you have a minimum of one character, up too three max characters at any given time. I don't care how young or old your characters are. You can be as detailed or vague with your character. This story has room for potential and we can figure out your character as the story continues.

1. I am not (and nor should you) a Grammar Nazi. However, please make sure you are spelling correctly for the most part, or your sentences are complete. Also if you see a problem with someones post, nicely let them know. Writing is a learning process, and there is room to learn from it. 
2. No Drama. Simple.
3. Communicate. We ALL have lives. I don't expect you to be on here every moment someone posts, but if you are going to be gone for longer than 48 hours, please be nice and inform us. Simple; "Hey, I'll be back in a couple days." works just fine. We don't need details if you don't want to share.
4. This is low-advance RP. Meaning, please post at lease one-two and half paragraphs. Give us something to read and work with! :)
5. This RP will follow site rules too, but this is a mature RP. We will cuss, possibly have loose sex talk, and VERY graphic. This will not be for the weak heart or people who don't enjoy mature RP's.
6. An obvious one: No Godmodding or powerplaying. Control your own character, nobody likes their characters being forced to do stuff they didn't intend on doing. 
7. Please respect the GM and co-GM. It's nothing personal. We are here to have a enjoyable RP. If we ask something of you (posting or character sheet), it's because it will help with the story! We are GREAT people and are looking to have a fun group come together and have a great time together!

▸ Absolutely no one liners- that kinda kills a roleplay! Like I mentioned before; post 1-2 1/2 paragraphs (if not more) for us to go on and have something to read!


If you are serious about this please submit a character sheet (below), with the questions filled out so I know you read it.
