[b]THE BASIC STORY:[/b] [LIST] [*]A zombie apocalypse RP inspired by the Will Smith movie "I Am Legend". [*]In 2016, a genetically re-engineered measles virus -- originally created as a cure for cancer -- went into human testing. [*]Preliminary results were so spectacular that by 2017 the FDA had approved worldwide distribution of the "cure". [*]By 2018, though, the "cure" had begun mutating within the immunized. The result was a new, lethal, highly contagious virus that killed 90% of those who had been immunized. The remaining 10% became predatory, cannibalistic maniacs who attacked, killed, and devoured the unimmunized. [*]The new virus came to be called "Rabies 2.0", because sunshine causes them intense pain and, with long enough exposure, can kill them, the mutated survivors came to be called "Darkseekers". [*]The "Darkseeker Plague" appeared in multiple cities across the planet at approximately the same time and began spreading across the rest of the world quickly. [*]In early April 2018, the Darkseeker Plague reached Portland, Oregon, the center point of our story.
