[centre][h1] [b][color=ed1c24]Humanity is at the edge of extinction.[/color][/b] [/h1][/centre] [centre] It has been six years since the world fell victim to the infection. It ravaged the planet like a wildfire, turning people into murderous cannibals that wanted nothing more than to kill and eat anything that moved. The infection at first took a day at the most to turn somebody. First you get tired, then a fever, then your coughing up blood. By the end of the day your killing your loved ones. But through a bite, the infection is much quicker. After being bitten you have an hour, maximum. You'll get a horrible fever almost straight away. Your insides will burn and you will quickly develop a lust for blood. The infection turned people against each other, and where the infection hadn't completely destroyed once great countries, the survivors did. Great island nations were the last to fall, Australia and Britain the last beacons of hope in a world gone mad. It has been five years since Britain collapsed, the overwhelming number of desperate migrants attempting to get in couldn't be stopped, and they brought the infection with them. Australia couldn't sustain itself after this, and the country erupted into a brutal civil war. The fighting brought about chaos, and with chaos, the infection. 4 years ago, the last stronghold in the world fell and all cure research was destroyed. Six years on from the original infection in the year 2022, things have only gotten worse. The infected rule the night and savage raiders rule the day. Food and water is sparse and guns and ammo even more so. Electricity is a thing of the past, and so is Human decency. With things as they are, would you survive our extinction event?

A once great city known for its beautiful canals, amazing scenery and its red light district. Now it is known for nothing. The city was among the first to fall around the globe and most of its 800,000 residents were trapped inside. The water of the canals runs red with blood and the streets are painted the same. Weapons here are hard to find, and ammunition for them even harder. The only thing in abundance here anymore? [i]The infected. [/i] [/centre] [centre][h3][color=ed1c24]Information[/color] [/h3] -The infected aren't slow, shuffling zombies. They can run, climb and jump just like we can. -They have all the senses we do. They can see, smell and hear us. -At night all of their senses increase. They can see in the dark, sniff you out much better, and have an increased sense of smell. They are also much stronger and more aggressive at night. -While zombies will kill and eat animals, animals can not and will not turn into zombies. -Food and water is harder to find now, and while some plumbing systems still work, all water from taps and such is infected. Bottled water and rain water is uninfected. -Guns and ammo are much rarer now and will be very hard to find. I don't want your character running around with an AK-47, a sniper, an RPG etc. all at the same time. Make it believable. Sure, your character can have an assault rifle, but how would he/she have got it? Is it in good condition? How much ammo do you have? Things like pistols and hunting rifles will be more common. -Small things can kill. Illnesses that we wouldn't worry about now would be lethal unless treated, small wounds could get infected and kill you. Think about things like that. [/centre] [centre][h3] [color=ed1c24]Rules[/color] [/h3] -Don't be a dick -Swearing will happen. -Gore and violence will happen. -Sex can happen, but will have to be taken to PM's. -Characters can and will die at some point. -There will be no posting order, post as often as you like as long as somebody else posts in-between you. (You don't have to wait for everybody else to post before you do again) -My word is final.

A seventy year old man or a small child would have had a very hard time surviving on their own. You can also have as many characters as you want, as long as it doesn't severely slow down your post time.
