Plot
 
Although the origin of the zombie pandemic is unknown, the story begins in China after a young boy is bitten; he becomes the pandemic's "patient zero". The Chinese government attempts to contain the infection and concocts a crisis involving Taiwan to mask their activities. The infection is soon spread to other countries by the countless amount of people on the move. Majority of the Western world doesn't know, before an outbreak in South Africa finally brings the plague to public attention. As the infection spreads throughout, the State of Israel is the only country to take the reports of zombies seriously, initiating a nationwide quarantine and closing its borders to everyone. Pakistan and Iran break out into a full-out war after the Iranian government attempts to stem the flow of Pakistani refugees into it's country. The United States of America does little to prepare; although special forces teams are used to contain initial outbreaks, a widespread effort never starts as the nation is sapped of political will by several "brushfire wars", and a placebo fraudulently marketed as a vaccine has created a false sense of security. When the world recognizes the true scope of the problem, a period known as the "Great Panic" begins. The infection spreads into New York City, gripping the U.S. with fear and agony. With the fall of New York the United States military sets up a high-profile defense measure at Yonkers to restore American morale. The U.S. military uses obsolete Cold War tactics on the zombies, including anti-tank weapons and demoralization through wounding. These have no effect on the zombies, which "can't be shocked and awed", have no self-preservation instincts, and can only be stopped if shot in the head and killed. The soldiers are routed on live television, while other countries suffer similarly disastrous defeats, and human civilization teeters on the brink of collapse. The world is in chaos and without a vaccine or any measures to stop the zombie hordes could the human race be at risk of total annihilation? The contagium is spreading .. you must stop it at all costs.

  • No age limit, but please keep it reasonable.
  • No super-heroes or extremely strong characters, remember your only human. So if you get bit, its over.
  • You may be whatever occupation you desire whether it be President of New Zealand or the UPS Driver in Missouri, U.S. but please behave how they would. You wouldn't see the President blowing off heads in the city.
