Inspired by Containment, Outbreak, REC, The Division, Contagion, and The Walking Dead

𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓
Humanity has been living in their comfortable lifestyle in a world that has become overly dependent on technology for decades. As bacterias and viruses are adopting to antibiotics at an alarming rate, some people began to question this dependency. Then, a deadly virus infected millions of Africans and killed thousands in the matter of months. A few foreigners were infected but were contained before they could spread. It caused widespread panic among the populations of the world. After developing a treatment for the virus, the CDC designed and released a preparedness guide for combating outbreaks. It was adopted by the governments of the world shortly after the release.

The United States of America were worried about a possible outbreak hitting America resulting in the collapse of their government. That was when a presidential directive was quietly signed into law as a response to the entire situation. It's known as Directive 18, a directive that puts forth several plans from the US government and military in case of an outbreak in the country. The public does not know of the directive's existence and the plans developed. However, the CDC and American government partnered up to issued preparedness messages to watch for the warning signs of any virus outbreak. And they also started a massive nationwide health campaign that is making positive changes to personal health and personal hygiene in America. Meanwhile, the United States Military also started several programs of their own about health and maintaining control during an outbreak, becoming more strict as a result.

It had been seven years since the last major outbreak to occur in the world. The world handled itself during minor outbreak and illnesses, but what if the world was introduced to a different kind of virus? A virus that has the ability to kill and revive its target. No one has the answers or the cure to this question, but it will happen. Either in a small town or a large metropolis, the virus will spread and slowly wipe out its target. In doing so, the virus will cause fear and selfish intentions to take over the avenge person. Will the government be able to deal with the most powerful virus that mankind ever face? Or will it be another chapter of mass extinction of man? Can the people manage to save civilization?

Or will it be too late to save it?

Baltham, Washington was founded two days after the state had become the 42nd state on November 11, 1889. The city is a part of the Bainbridge Island metropolitan area, which has a population of 130,000. Bainbridge Island has 304,000. The increased in population landed in the second largest city in Washington, beating Spokanea. Baltham was named the fourth-best place to live in the United States in 2020. Both cities are becoming an increasingly affluent bedroom community of Seattle, a 35-minute ride away on the Washington State Ferries. Tourists often found themselves spending time on the island and the city used that to make a profit. They spend more time at Baltham than Bainbridge Island.

Baltham is home to the headquarters of many small and large businesses, many of which are technology companies that started in the 1990s. The city has numerous thriving commercial districts, including one shopping center: Zemreaft Mall. It has one small hotel located in the middle of Baltham and Bainbridge called, Sweet Bay Hotel; Bainbridge has three hotels. Myriad development of major retail, residential, and revitalization projects are amidst planning, in construction, or have been successfully executed in both cities. The growth has resulted in the city council to start construction on a waterfront boardwalk and marina in the late 1990s. The boardwalk was just finished a couple months ago and it expands to both cities' coastlines. A waterfront multimodal bus/ferry terminal soon opened in 2002 and allowed people to travel to Settle in thirty-five minutes.

Both cities are still continuing to grow as more people moved away from small town to large cities. It's expected that in five years, Baltham will reach 200,000 and Bainbridge Island will hit 350,000. Both cities have high standards of health and cleanliness for its citizens and tourists. There are five different hospitals in the city and they are capable of handling any outbreak that happens in the region. Bainbridge is currently the healthiest city in America, following by Baltham and Dallas. And unknowingly will become ground zero for the new type of virus.

  • No metagaming, powergaming, godmodding, mary/gary-sueing or anything silly like that.
  • If you do something stupid, then expect consequences that could kill your character.
  • Since this is a modern day apocalyptic survival roleplay, realism is a must.
  • Romance is okay, but no 18+ stuff please.
  • In interactions with large groups of people, if not using a collab, work a posting order out among yourselves so that you can all enjoy it and nobody gets left behind.
  • Don't make super long collabs that don't help advance the plot.
  • You are welcome to make NPCs and kill them off.
  • When your character gets bitten, you are basically dead.
  • Just like the Walking Dead universe, no-one knows what zombies are.
  • You must post at least two time in a two week period in order to be consider active.
  • Follow the site rules.
  • Have fun. :>

I have questions. First, do we assume that somewhat like in Walking Dead 'zombie' isn't really a big thing in culture? Second, do we just post our sample posts for now or do we make something similar to your jsut describing us going about Baltham, perhaps hearing the news and such

To answer your first question:

Just like the Walking Dead universe, no-one knows what zombies are.

As for the second part, I imagine Star Lord is going for the latter.

Well, yes, but I sort of wanted elaboration of people just don't get this a zombie, stuff like that or if it was completely omitted from culture if that makes sense.

Well, the concept of zombies doesn't exist in this world. Romero never existed, The Last of Us was never made, and World War Z wasn't published. The zombie pop culture never existed to begin with. Hopefully, it helps answer your question @Andreyich.
