[b][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/81623-infected-reboot/ooc]If interested, you might want to know we've set up an OOC![/url][/b]

[I]Infected[/I] is a reboot/sequel to a longstanding roleplay created by [b]Ayesha/Rarity[/b]. Permission has been granted from the original GM, who may return in the future, to recreate.

We’re looking for committed players with an interest in [b]character development[/b]. This will be a largely [b]character-driven[/b] roleplay; their actions and choices will move the plot forward. We encourage you to come up with plot points yourselves, as well as shape the world the story is set in. Once your character is approved, you'll be able to discuss your ideas in the OOC with your fellow players before moving ahead.

[B][U]The Virus[/U][/B]

The virus manifests itself in a variety of ways, but the common symptom is life – or rather a half-life – after death. Contracting the virus leads to sickness, which then leads to death. Soon after the virus kills its victims, they are reanimated. These reanimated corpses experience a manic desire to infect, kill and/or consume the living.

[b]Average Undead[/b]
[INDENT]The most common of the infected are slow and travel in numbers, with the odd exception. Although not inherently intelligent, they are capable of learning from their experiences, and have thus began to co-operate and use hunting tactics.[/INDENT]
[b]Runners[/b]
[INDENT]A less ubiquitous manifestation of the virus, colloquially called “Runners”, they are fast travellers and can maintain their speed for prolonged periods of time. They also show symptoms of mania greater than that of the average victims.[/INDENT]
[b]Spitters[/b]
[INDENT]A rare manifestation of the virus. “Spitters” possess the ability to launch a mouthful of infected fluid at a target. This fluid is contagious, should it come into contact with the blood, eyes, mouth or open wounds of a living target.[/INDENT]
[b]Screamers[/b]
[INDENT]As of yet, this appears to be the rarest of the virus’ manifestations. Infected are able to release a high-pitched shriek, the sound of which attracts more common infected.[/INDENT]
