The date is September 21st, 2016. The world as you know it is completely average and boring - with the exact same jobs and types of people you'd see in our world. However, in the past seven months, reports have hinted towards something no one in Ashton, Colorado, or anyone in the world, would have expected. An epidemic. An infection, that turns the corpses of fallen men and women into lumbering, flesh-hungry husks. Whether or not the reports prove true seems too early to determine, but the news and social media buzz with the threat of a virus and the potential pandemic brewing in remote areas of the world. So-called experts span the news channels, attention-starved parasites stuffing the audience with fear before devouring them. Is it really anything to be worried about, however? There has been no pictured proof, no official, government-sponsored warnings or notices. Ashton is the same city it has always been, no walking corpses as far as the eye could see. A carnival was recently held here, in the downtown plaza. A murder was discovered in the more...urban parts of the city, and the Mayor has recently turned in his hat, given to a younger, more charismatic man. Life seemed to be normal...Too normal, in fact. Fear of the unknown lurks in the hearts of every man and woman, hidden under the guise of a normal life being lived. It would only take one spark to light the fire. Only one bite to start the chaos.

1. Don't be a dick, or an elitist prick. We're all here to have fun and make a story together.
2. At the same time, we have standards. Keep up decent grammar and posts more than one paragraph, and we'll be cool.
3. Military types, no. Battle-hardened warrior types, no. More on this topic is in Notes.
4. To add onto that ^^, no auto-hits, godmodding, meta-gaming, or any of that stuff. I'm sure you guys know what I mean.
5. Larfleeze and Mr_pink are my co-GMs. Listen to 'em.

[center][hider=Briefing]Will be a summary of the IC's events.[/hider][/center]
[center][hider=Notes]Little important tidbits of information.

- Make sure to post your CS in the OOC first, and then into the Character tab once/if accepted.

- We will most-likely not be taking any military characters. Sorry. Maybe if the CS is reaaally good.

- When the RP starts, we will all be regular civilians, not battle-hardened zombie killers. Be realistic.

- I will eventually try to herd everyone into a singular area. Please do not resist the herd. [s]Mooo.[/s]

- Ashton, Colorado is pretty cool. It's a pretty big, urban place, sort of like your stereotypical bustling city, with different types of neighborhoods. Ashton, the city, is made up, by the way.

- Let's not have a shotgun or katana randomly chilling in the bed of our truck, ye?

- Make sure to put your CS in a hider, and label the hider the first and last name of your character.

- More will be added as I think.[/hider][/center]
