People lived out their lives through their daily routines like waking up and preparing themselves for work just to make a living to support themselves or their family and loved ones. Then, then that all changed quickly, spiraling humanity off the track of a prospering future. It started off in the high populated country of over one billion, China, starting off as a small flu or disease infecting the first few hundred people. Expert medical examiners and neuroscientists were brought in to study and find a solution to cure those that were infected, but it was found to be incurable. They found the the infection slowly spreads throughout the host's nervous system, then next within forty-eight hours it eventually infects the host entirely shutting down their entire body system. The host died several minutes later, the first infected all eventually died They were transported to a large freezing warehouse unit for last minute study and to keep the bodies preserved for future experiments that was built under China's capital Beijing. As they conducted the last of their research, hoping to find some a hidden answer within the infection, one examiner was undeniably surprised by a body of a dead young boy twitching, then slowly rise back up as if he were still alive. The examiner was conducting the final physical traits of what it did to the human body at the time, which consisted of greyish pale skin, eyes blood red, mouth gums turned black and signs of slow flesh decay, but this was something out of a science fiction. Soon the other bodies around him began to twitch and slowly move about as well. The dead now all were standing and they all had their sights set on the man in the middle of them. The young boy moved first looked up at the person in the grey hazmat suit and saw only one thing, flesh. . . They had manged to get out and into the city, the panic of people who foolishly didn't seal the exits that lead out into the subway tunnels. The dead felt no pain when shot by the rapid fire of bullets into their bodies. The only known weakness was by destroying the brain, but their initial overwhelming numbers wasn't enough to stop them from overrunning the underground warehouse unit. They mauled and ripped open everything, feasting on all living things. The person that they once had been is no longer themselves. As the ones who were not part of the first infected became to come back to life themselves. Their bodies mutilated, bones broken, blood dripping they turn into a mindless drones of flesh eating monsters, nothing was safe from their grasp, not even the young. . . It then spread rapidly like wildfire from country to country. Despite the best efforts of heavy bombing and blocking borders they found a way in, mainly due to the mistakes of those who didn't take it seriously, and now they've either become one of them or are now nothing but a rotten corpse. The dead are not the only enemy, the world has been declared into Marshall-Law and now we are a danger to ourselves as well. This world is no a living nightmare.[/color] [IMPORTANT!!

Injures during combat will affect you during and after combat, but it depends on the type of injury you sustain.

The troops who were assigned from Fort Drum, to go inside to keep stability and order within the hugely populated city and assess the threat level of the contamination, were hit and they were hit hard. At first they kept the steady plan in check, which was to: Arrive to a reported "High Threat" location, eliminate threat and/or any "Leaks", Return to inner city outpost "High-Tower" with report. It went on for at least about two weeks, until the civilians found out what was really happening within the city, instead of the hope crushing lie of them being told they would be evacuated by groups since there was over a 8 million people who wanted the same thing as the next, the comfort of safety. Everything fell from that point, threat containment system they had established was thrown out disarray, people started fighting with the military themselves, then as soldiers and civilians fought, the number of walking dead grew. After Marshall-Law was officially declared, The remaining forces of the military had either split up, some still continuing onnward with the mission given to them, some who sought to find leave the city and regroup with want remained of the military in Washington D.C., the rest sought out for them selves or wanted to help those who actually needed help. [b]Military Information:[/b] Standard military issued uniform and combat gear, one military grade M20 75mm Rifle, standard issue combat knife, Three high-end explosive grenades, Two hand smoke grenades and a M11-A1 9mm pistol. They aren't all bad, if you do ever come across a few military personal, check that they are the ones who actually want to help and not the ones who are finishing what they were assigned to do. [b] Methods of Killing:[/b] Formation kills, tactical and recon usage is their main forte of killing methods, they are trained soldiers, not something to be taken lightly. [/hider] [hider=Zones] [img]http://cdn.segmentnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/the-division-8.jpg[/img] New York, It is undeniably a huge city, so unless you lived there your entire live, or frequently visited the place, your gonna need to either find a map or have a keen memory of the place.

[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120420001919/residentevil/images/5/5a/398300_353602468017078_131236410253686_970146_1508127405_n.jpg[/img] [b]"Abandoned Areas[/b] Abandoned Zones are zones that are mainly ripe for the picking, but are completely infested with the dead and mainly were the variants of [b][i]"Sprinters."[/i][/b] tend to make as their haven. It's usually best to keep noise to a minimum as well, other wise you'll have a handful of them come running to investigate where the noise came from. [img]http://blog.ubi.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Grand-central.jpg[/img] [b]"Safe Zones"[/b] Safe zones have been established throughout the city and this is the first place throngs of people fled to when the outbreak started after the nearly all but one of the bridges were blown apart and subways were either flooded with water or the dead. As more and more people came, food and supplies within the safe zones began to dwindle down. Now the majority of safe that had been established within the city have been either taken over by the dead due to people dieing of starvation of hunger. The other former safe zones have now also become occupied by raiders as their own place to have, but not with out redecorating the place first with mutilated bodies hanging from meat hooks, blood splattered against the walls, and cage pens for their [i]entertainment[/i] purposes. The remaining safe zones that now stand are occupied by the remaining military and any other civilians that are still alive, but they don't get to stay for free. Everyone has to pull their weight, because now. . . now it's a kill or be killed world.
