Five years ago, a terrorist organization calling itself “Chimera” unleashed a weaponized fungus engineered from [i][url=http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis]Ophiocordyceps unilateralis[/url][/i]. What started as a containable infection rapidly adapted and evolved into a lethal organism stopped only by fire or cold. What cities are left are run akin to military dictatorships… but it’s better than being outside the community walls.

[center][u]Rules[/u]
1- All RPG rules apply. That being said, this RPG will be rated T to M for violence, gore, language, and the like. 
2- Please be respectful to all of your fellow RP members. If two RPers start arguing, I will have to ask them to take it to PM.
3- No godmodding. This includes controlling/injuring/killing another player’s character without explicit permission, killing two hundred zombies with your thumb, or surviving a fall from 3+ stories. In a nutshell, keep it as realistic as possible.
4- All profiles must be approved by me before posting.
5- In this RP we will abide by a three-strike rule. If rules are broken, there will be consistent punishments: 1- Warning to player via PM and thread; 2- Injury of one or more characters, and a one-week ban from the RP; 3- All characters killed in the most gruesome manner possible, and permaban from the RP.
6- Have fun![/center]

[hider=The Infection]Fungus spores are spread through the air, as well as through bites. Once the fungus has entered the host’s system, it rapidly multiplies until it takes control of the host’s nervous system. Fungal growths begin appearing on the body in a matter of hours, notably around the chest, spine, neck, and head; one can tell long a victim has been infected by the amount and size of growths on its body. Once the fungus has taken control of a host, the victim is used to spread spores further, actively seeking new hosts. Spores are regularly emitted as the body moves, and even when the body can no longer function, the fungus feeds off of it, creating more spores until there aren’t even bones left. The easiest way to avoid infection is by wearing a mask. Gas masks and medical masks work best.[/hider]
