The apocalypse has all but come and gone. A great sickness spread across the world which was the most vicious humanity had ever known. During the initial spread of infection the virus was dormant, and only once the majority of the population was infected did symptoms begin to show. All of those who had contracted the virus, later known as the E-Virus (extinction) died within minutes of each other. The persons body would reanimate, filled with nothing but rage and hunger. Whether it be for animal or human flesh, it didn't matter. But at the same time as others died, the virus mutated to give other humans abilities. It was their bodies way of surviving the attack. Whether these powers would be useful to the survival of humanity is yet to seen...

Zombie types: 
 [*]Runners[/*] - Runners are the most athletic of all the undead. Their physique is more improved and so are twice as strong and fast as regular zombies; combined with the rage of a regular zombie, they're capable of ripping humans apart with their bare hands and tearing down defences like paper mache.
 [*]Hybrids[/*] - Hybrids are those whose bodies began mutating in defence of the virus but still succumbed to death and reanimated. Hybrids have powers but not all hybrids are capable of using them, and are sometimes just as much of a danger to themselves as their victims.
 [*]Weaklings[/*] These are the majority of the undead population, roughly 90%. They have less than human strength, and so walk at a slow pace. However their stamina is infinite, and will never relent on trying to tear you apart.
 [*]Brainiacs[/*] Brainiacs are the most intelligent of the undead. They have managed to retain more brain function than their fellow undead during their transition. This may leave some Brainiacs suicidal, trying to reintegrate with human society, or most commonly using their intellect to use the other undead to kill in co-ordinated attacks.
 

Note: This list isn't definitive and not all undead fit into [i]one[/i] category. Brainiacs can also be Runners, and Runners can also be Hybrids etc. They are simply more rare.

[B]Setting[/B]

The roleplay will be set in a town ten miles outside of Atlanta with defences already set up around the perimeter. They consist of four metre tall wooden fences, consisting of garden fencing and all random parts of wood scavenged in the town. There are concerns this is not enough, however the Sheriff believes they're satisfactory and prefers to focus on sending out scavenging groups to bring back essentials and plenty of luxury items to the town for himself and his henchmen.

There is also an anti-mutant rhetoric going around town after the recent murder of the town Pastor's son Tommy by a telekinetic who is in the town jail. According to Tommy, he was attacked by the Pastor's son and his friends for being an infected freak and an abomination. A hearing is due to be held shortly, which will raise questions on how criminals are to be taken care of by the town. 

Other events to take place. These are ideas, and can be changed.
- The town is breached by a Brainiac, a Hybrid and several Weaklings after Tommy's hearing. The pastor divides the grieving town afterwards with hate speech towards the 'mutants' of the town.
