Story Five years ago a biological weapon was accidently set off. It was thought the virus was quarantined but it was carried by a medical officer unaware he was immune. From then it spread rappidly. The cities went first, the small space and large populations allowed the virus easy hosts. The towns were next, the virus carried in by refugees fleeing the cities. In 48 hours britain was completely infested. Two weeks and the whole planet was a brain dead flesh hungering wreck. But humanity are a resourseful bunch. Those immune started fencing off their towns and clearing out any remaining zombies. What little was left of the millitary regrouped and holed up in their bases. Offering help to towns in need. Five years later the situation is a little better. The towns have small self sustained populations, some even risking the journey to trade with other towns. Eventualy a rumor started up of a cure, of an end to the zombies. It gathered enough wieght for people to start searching for it. So far no one has found any information of its where-abouts. Until now. --------------------------------------- The Game This is a Third-Person narrative story.

These included robotic arms and legs, night vision eyes and various weapons. -------------------------- Halfling - Some humans didn't have complete immunity from the zombie virus.

They know one day they will become zombies; but hope the day never comes. -------------------------- Factions Black messiah - the remnants of millitary power. They have the better weapons then the havens. New ford haven - One of the towns east of the london. Citizens have custom made weapons (you can be creative but no over powered stuff).

Sepatar, Lost and Shadow - Those are fine. Sepatar, Lost I'm assuming your chars don't have a faction in which case you'll either have to head to newford haven when we start or make your own way to the 'cure'. Shadow Your a cyborg so I'm assuming your in black messiah. Just waiting for Earphone then we'll start.
I have a question. Would it be against the rules to have someone play a character that's related to mine? That way I don't have to play two characters.
Shadow - Could you be black messiah? It makes things slightly easier when we start. Vamp - Sure if you can find someone.
