A parasite. A biological weapon gone wrong. A serum meant to increase soldiers' durability. Many claims have been made about this disease. There's only a couple of things we know. First, it ruins your mind. Makes you bat-shit crazy. Then, it destroys your body. Makes it look like you're the living dead. Guts swaying in the breeze, brain exposed to all of us to see. But they're not zombies. Still people, just...infected with a nasty disease. Anyone who was sixteen or older was infected. Parents turned against their kids, baying for their blood. What did we do, you want to know? Well, we set up places we could stay. Washington Monument. White House. Capital Building. Lincoln Memorial. Tons of others. But we didn't get this far without sacrifice. Not all of us got lucky. We all saw someone we loved die that first year. Now, we're bringing the fight to the Grown-ups. Major Groups: [hider=The Birds] A small crew of ten highly trained hunters who attack the sickos surrounding settlements in exchange for resources. They don't have a set place in particular where they stay, but they do have a favored movie theater they barricaded, complete with stale popcorn and flat soda. [/hider] [hider=The White House Group] A group of 'snobs' (As accused by the Birds) that believe they can make things right and piece America back together. They're not really set on fighting, more like dressing up their soldiers like Secret Service agents, having them hold guns, and parade around. [/hider] [hider=Washington Monument Crew] A group of unorganized raiders who live in squalor and drunkenness. They set up soiled tents near the Washington Monument, fanning out. They occasionally raid other settlements for food.
