Every day 150,000 people die; 56 million every year. The use of technology, developing medicine and education has gone far in lowering that number every decade, but what happens when the dead starts walking?

Six years ago American citizens heard of a few isolated incidents across Africa where a man would grow sick with a fever and die within a few days - fairly normal, why was this newsworthy? The part that makes it newsworthy and inspired countless teenage pranks, was that these men would get up after their death, exactly six days later. These incidents numbered in six, each exactly 13 months apart; little did we know how large of a problem it was going to become. In the last year every known government agency and military chain of command has gone down, with few operating as they were meant to. Billions of people have died and the walking dead continue to slaughter.

It's been less than a year since our group came together, bound by survival, and lacking many of the tools they will need to survive. Trouble is brewing and winter is approaching, as well the group is tired of running. They need a place to stay, but no where seems safe; will they find it?

[center]Above all else, I expect active participation. Be it within plotting in the OOC, or messaging me with questions or ideas. Time time and effort, to put into the role play because it requires everyone's full co-operation and participation.

At least one post a week, but if you may manage more it would be lovely for our survival. Each post should have at the very least, two well written paragraphs for each character involved.

There is no maximum on the amount of characters that you may have, though I must ask you do not overburden yourself with too many. The recommended amount should be between three or four at most, but if you can handle it, all the power to you.

I am absolute. I should mention I am a rather strict Game Master at times, especially with character creation. I do willingly listen to ideas and opinions, but I will ultimately make decisions based upon the basis and plans for the role play, as well as the character of the Player displayed to me.

Above I stated that there is no character limit, but each one should be unique, a three dimensional person, capable of development. Think about how they would react to situations and people without bias.

(I can and will add more later without warning. Check back often)[/center]
