INTRODUCTION
(Disclaimer: This RP is reboot of old, successful RP I joined long time ago. I hope this will not fail, I really want it to be like the old one used to be)
"It has been years since... It happened... Not many even remember it, everyone who survived all that are dead now. Well, not everyone, not me... Government claims this to be new sickness, but it is not. I recognise it, better said, it recognises me. The virus spreads across the land, government is selling medicine against it, but it doesn't kill the virus, only stops it trying to take control of you, for 24 hours... Listen to me, don't let any infected near you, this virus, it is not a gift like some of them say, it is a curse, you don't want to turn in to one of them."

Welcome to New York, rebuilt like many cities had been rebuilt after the unknown destruction all over the world many years ago. Not many remember what truly occured then. It is rumoured that the governments of all countries know what happened back in the days, but those are only rumours. There is talk of this medicine for some sort of new sickness... but what is this new "sickness"? The information surrounding this is very vague. the government keeps its people in the dark, it seems. Those that are brave enough to investigate are never heard from again once they start to discover what this is really about. Some say it is the flu. Some say it is a new form of disease sent by God and is a sign of the End Times. You, as a citizen, may choose to be ignorant or to find the truth. But beware. No one knows yet, because this second inundation is all just beginning...
PLOT
The situation is still new. But the increasing rumors cause some to feel uneasy. You as a victim must find others like you, if there are any, and get to the bottom of the secrecy.
Find the Cause.
Find the Leader.
Find the Cure.

THE VIRUS
You better have money for the medicine, the virus can be quite deadly! It is 80% 20% situtation, 80% goes for the possibility for you to become a zombie-like infected.
In the "80%" situation, situation one, you do not have special DNA. In other words, the virus treats you as a carrier, and its sole purpose is to quickly make you into a zombie to re-infect.
In situation two, you have special DNA. This situation gives you more time in between your initial infection and it's final stage. The virus treats you differently than in situation one by giving you abnormal abilities - what one might consider a "warrior" class, if you were to personify the viruses intent. Situation Two allows the Alpha Infected to choose its "Heir", in the event it perishes.
-SITUATION ONE-
Stage 1: No big symptoms, you might feel little weak.
Stage 2: Coughing and sweating begins, you are weak, very weak. Skin breaks out with rashes and flesh begins to deteriorate.
Stage 3: You are a mindless infected, your only purpose is to infect others. Your body is covered in rashes and pusing boils, and your flesh is hanging or coming off of your bones bit by bit.
-SITUATION TWO-
(20% possibility, is actually thanks to special DNA small amount of humans have in them, let me tell you the stages. Here, your skin might have light rashes, or a rougher appearance.)
Stage 1: You feel weak like others, but your fingertips seem to be oddly sharper.
Stage 2: You have become stronger than normal humans, your arms can shapeshift into claws and you are more agile.
Stage 3: You are lot more stronger and agile, your arms can shapeshift into claws and into blade, in this stage, you have gone insane
Stage 4: (Can be reached only by being infected by Alpha Infected) You are as strong and agile as Stage 3 infected, but sane. Your shapeshifting abilities include claws and blade.
Stage 5: Strongest infected, there only can be one of them, when that one dies, one of the Stage 4 infected evolves into Stage 5. Army calls this one "Alpha Infected" and "Father"/"Mother" (depending on gender) Shapeshifting abilities include claws, blade and spikes. Stage 5 infected is fully covered by same strong material their shapeshifting weapons are made of, creating strong armor.
RULES
- No Godmodding, even the infected can die
- Be respectful of other RPers and the rules, do not join if you do not like the rules or the way the role-play is ran. This includes ignoring characters, just don't do it if it's something that breaks no rules and the character is near yours.
- No script roleplaying
- To kill someone other's character, you have to get their permission for it. Please be realistic when in battles, even if this is a fantasy role-play, there will always be a level of realism pertaining to injuries or how one becomes infected.
- No one liners please. It allows the role play to develop to its full potential. Try to creative when you role-play, avoid posting things such as “Name sits down.”, and please dont just bump the topic.
- You can have as many characters as you think you can manage.
- If you wish to introduce a temporary side-character for a sub-plot with your character, please ask me first. I'm pretty welcome to any development of character, so I would probably be open to your sub-character plots.
- Try to be active. You may face removal of your characters if you are not, we can't just hang on dead characters. You are welcome to rejoin later, but be sure you are caught up and if using characters that you had before, try to find a way to explain their absence if they were a part for some time.
- This roleplay allows romance of any kind, however nothing explicit is permitted. No "instant" love please.
- This roleplay is based around explicit gore, please be mindful of that when joining.
- Your character is not perfect, always have flaws and virtues in mind when creating a character. It helps create a three-dimensional character and maybe even believable personality, even in a fantasy roleplay.
- No excessive OOC-only posts, please.
- There will be a posting order. I as the Game master will decide what it will be.
In the event that a player is unable to post when their turn comes, 48 to 72 hours will be allowed to pass, and if the poster has not taken their turn, the posting continues with the next player up.
This makes it easier for those that have to be away for a few days, can come back and easily track what happened.
If you will be absent for a period of time and do not want to be left behind, PM a Game Master and they will suspend your character, or after discussion pause the role play until you return.
