Seems like I have some fellow Brits in here! Anyway, good point, guys, I should have mentioned the month and possible weather options. The month is August, 2016. I don't mind people playing around with the weather in different scenarios as long as it isn't something that probably wouldn't be likely to happen then, such as snow. Possible weather options would be sunny, partly cloudy, overcast, light rain, heavy rain is a possibility too. Thunderstorms are possible too! Since Chicago's huge, it's possible for the weather to differ from area to area. I'm honestly not too concerned about this [i]as long as people respect the input by the first person to run a scenario in that area[/i]. If there are two scenarios running concurrently in Naperville but, for example, SyrianHamster's scenario was posted prior, the weather in that scenario must be adhered to. 

Feel free to be creative with the world, everybody. Your characters can have quite an impact on the local scale. Just try not to do things that will affect the very core of the RP, such as creating a government super group. If you find a store and it has some unlooted supplies, that's fine as long as you give a good reason for it.

All the profiles posted thus far have been approved and I've added them to the OP for easy viewing. Just for the sake of clarification, the virus itself is not responsible for illness/death unless you're bitten. Everyone is infected but the virus only activates upon death. 

Finally, I'm guessing that it's customary for the GM to create the first scenario but we're not so formal here. Everyone is quite free to begin posting their own scenarios! When you see an open scenario, please make sure you have a good reason for entering. If it seems too cluttered, you're very welcome to join a less saturated one or, better yet, create your own.
