If interested, you might want to know we've set up an OOC!
Infected is a reboot/sequel to a longstanding roleplay created by Ayesha/Rarity. Permission has been granted from the original GM, who may return in the future, to recreate.
We’re looking for committed players with an interest in character development. This will be a largely character-driven roleplay; their actions and choices will move the plot forward. We encourage you to come up with plot points yourselves, as well as shape the world the story is set in. Once your character is approved, you'll be able to discuss your ideas in the OOC with your fellow players before moving ahead.
The Virus
The virus manifests itself in a variety of ways, but the common symptom is life – or rather a half-life – after death. Contracting the virus leads to sickness, which then leads to death. Soon after the virus kills its victims, they are reanimated. These reanimated corpses experience a manic desire to infect, kill and/or consume the living.
Average Undead
Runners
Spitters
Screamers

Average Undead
The most common of the infected are slow and travel in numbers, with the odd exception. Although not inherently intelligent, they are capable of learning from their experiences, and have thus began to co-operate and use hunting tactics.
Runners
A less ubiquitous manifestation of the virus, colloquially called “Runners”, they are fast travellers and can maintain their speed for prolonged periods of time. They also show symptoms of mania greater than that of the average victims.
Spitters
A rare manifestation of the virus. “Spitters” possess the ability to launch a mouthful of infected fluid at a target. This fluid is contagious, should it come into contact with the blood, eyes, mouth or open wounds of a living target.
Screamers
As of yet, this appears to be the rarest of the virus’ manifestations. Infected are able to release a high-pitched shriek, the sound of which attracts more common infected.
Within one week, major cities on the East Coast became riddled with the virus.
It took two weeks for the virus to spread to smaller cities, three weeks for towns and smaller settlements. Some folks fortified their homes and fought off the dead for as long as they could. Some kept moving.
After four weeks, bands of survivors were few, and the dead began to hunt for their food.

Characters will be approved by one or more of the veterans of Infected's initial run: @FaithsRose, @SilverFox, @teapotshark and @MistressCyanide.

Rules:
We are a friendly and open-minded roleplay and we would like to keep the experience fun for everyone. That means we're LGBT+ friendly, anti-hate, etc.
1. This is a High Casual to Low Advanced roleplay. Each IC post should be more than two paragraphs long and legible.
2. Be realistic to the setting. Follow the rules of the world set out by the GMs. For example, your character is not going to possess any magical ability or survive the virus.
3. Post regularly. A minimum of once a week is preferred.
4. Refrain from speed-posting if it’s going to leave someone behind.
5. If you require a hiatus or would like to leave the roleplay, please inform a GM.
6. All players have as much a say in the development of the roleplay as the GMs do. Plot points, worldbuilding, discuss it in the OOC and see how it plays out.
7. No godmodding, Mary/Gary Sues, out-of-character hate, etc.

I'm okay with you having the co-GM banner. I'll post up the OOC first, then the Int Check.
I'll make those additions and start up an Int Check and OOC if that's all good with you guys?
Beth felt an unnatural shudder ripple through her ethereal body as she scouted the park with Autumn. The sensation worsened when raindrops began falling, then pouring down. With some reluctance, her body became solid again, and the raindrops bounced off. Splitting from the group as per Rikive's orders, she trudged through the downpour, a quiet grumble slipping past her lips every so often.
The rain stopped all too suddenly to be of any comfort. Beth paused where she stood, squinting at her surroundings. The park had been a mess, sure, but not as overgrown as it was now. Since when did parks turn into jungles after a little rainfall? Just a moment ago, the moon barely peeked through the wooded park, now the sun shone on trees that certainly didn't belong in New Camden.
She pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling nothing, and muttered to herself. "Some sort of magic, isn't it? Wonderful."
With the rain gone she became intangible again -- before all this Nemsemet mess she'd never had to switch in and out so frequently, it was starting to make her nauseas. Even passing through shrubbery as she was, she moved cautiously, eyeing every hiding place imaginable. Assuming the illusion served as a defence for the manor, it had to go pretty deep, or there was something more inside. Their best bet was to find the other pairs, regroup, and think their way out of it. So Beth moved silently forward, listening for the slightest sign of her comrades and feeling, like some kind of bug, for the energies that hung around them.
She thought the thunder returned when she heard that big boom, but it dulled soon after, and didn't sound like any kind of thunder she'd heard before. She stilled except to turn her head, made a rough guess at where it came from, then started off in the opposite direction. The second step she took, she felt something different zip through her foot -- not leaves or twigs, but something metal. Manufactured crap always felt cold, unlike something natural. Beth turned and crouched, low and carefully, and just about caught sight of the thinnest of wires spread taut from one bush to another.
She really needed to find the others.

Apologies for my absence. I'm reading up on posts and writing my own atm. I'll leave Beth's pairing open, but Gray could easily be paired with her. That'll be heaps of fun.
@FaithsRose I'm happy to post it, but I'd vote that it goes straight into the Casual OOC section. An interest check is just the middle-man, if it gets slipped into the OOC straight off the bat, people interested can start posting character sheets asap.
@MistressCyanide Welcome back. I reckon you should hold off until the reset.

And in the end, it's Cat who has to axe Ash.
And that increases the tension all the more.
I revised the write-up, just adding some minor details like rule specifics. I can send it to someone if y'all wanna upload it.
