"We have everything you need. Food, shelter, water, [i]people[/i]... A society. You can live in a community free from the infected. A safe haven where you can feel comfortable, knowing that you're surrounded with friends. What is there for you out there? You live in a land overtaken by abominations and murderers, thieves and rapists. Your instincts are likely telling you that this is too good to be true. Under normal circumstances, you could hardly be blamed for heeding that frightened little voice inside your head. After all, it's kept you alive for this long. All I can say is that we need you as much as you need us. We can't rebuild America without your help and that's why this signal goes out to all of you survivors struggling 24/7 just so that you can take another breath. Is venturing into downtown Chicago risky? Of course it is. But what else are you going to do? Are you going to continue running, simply to exist? Or are you going to take hold of the only opportunity that will allow you to [i]live[/i] again? America begins anew at the Black Mountain, the tallest building in Chicago. In better times, it was known as the Sears Tower. Find us there and we'll make sure you never suffer again. What other choice do you have?" Set a full year after the outbreak of a flesh-eating virus, this RP takes place in Chicago and its surrounding areas. The population of America has been decimated and only a few survivors remain. The odds are seemingly insurmountable as survivors must deal with hordes of the infected and, worst of all, other survivors who have gone mad in a world with no order. --- Your decisions will shape the world around you. Will you submit to survival of the fittest, or will you help your fellow survivors to find safety? Will you join a community or will you form your own gang of raiders? The choices are limitless. This RP will always remain open to new members as having several characters will make things much more interesting and will also avoid the pitfall of having ONE storyline. With multiple RP'ers, we will run a system where characters can participate in different scenarios. Instead of running one scenario, we can run multiple scenarios concurrently, allowing you to play true to your character instead of forcing him/her into scenarios where he/she doesn't fit. Anyone interested?
