[b]Recruitment for this roleplay is currently OPEN.[/b][/center]

[b]Plot:[/b]
The year is 1911, and something has gone horribly wrong. The world has been hit by a plague of apocalyptic proportions. The dead have risen and wander the land in search of human flesh. Frequent storms batter the Earth and all plant life has seemingly died off. Cattle meat became rotten and those who dared to eat it joined the undead ranks. Initial survivors told stories of mythical creatures who stalk the wilderness, but not many had the courage to go and verify the tales. Those who did never returned. Small pockets of civilization sprung up all over the land after the major towns were decimated by the ravenous zombies, but they don't have nearly enough supplies to cope with the massive amounts of people begging for help.

He didn't attend school and spent most of his time just stealing commodities such as money and food. At age eight, Simon's mother became very ill and died soon later. He ran away from his foster home and and spent the next few years of his homeless and begging from others. When he became twelve, Simon fell in with a gang of outlaws and assisted them with caravan robberies. Simon committed his first murder at fifteen, when a man they were robbing ran at him, forcing him to pull the trigger. After that, killing became second nature to Simon. At age eighteen, Simon became the leader of his gang after the former boss was arrested and executed by US Marshals.
