Vanessa “Van/ Vannie” Gray
23 years old
Knife
Vanessa was born the oldest of twins, her twin brother was born with many handicaps which left Vanessa caring for him from an early age. Her mother and father were there to help but they fought over money and the hospital bills that her brother Vincent had. Vincent was able to overcome several odds: first his parents were told that he would never be able to talk. Vanessa spent hours upon hours taking to her brother. His first word was Vannie since he could not pronounce his sister’s name. Vanessa’s parents split when she was ten, her father continued to be in the lives of his twins while they lived with their mother. Vanessa graduated high school with her brother, who was put into a nursing home by their mother. With Vanessa going off to college in New York and their mother working to support Vincent and their father tending to his new family, it was the best option for her brother. Vincent’s time on earth was short and he died just before the outbreak at the age of twenty.
Vanessa was studying to become a special education teacher. She didn’t know what happened to her mother, father, step-mother or half siblings once the virus hit.

Vanessa is described as looking more like her mother with her fair complexion and dark, wavy chestnut colored hair that falls to the middle of her back. Vanessa shares her mother’s heart shaped face and delicate features. She has her father’s eyes, a dark gray with flakes of gold around her iris. She also has a small birth mark on the left side of her neck. Standing at only 5’3, Vanessa still towered over her brother Vincent, as not only was he wheelchair bound but he was born very small.


Clark “CJ” James
27 years old
Club
Having three older sisters was something that Clark didn’t like. They used to dress him up as a girl and parade him around the neighborhood and introducing him as their sister Charlotte until he was five. His sisters Makenzie, Janet, Hailey and Hannah loved their brother but found him to be weird, like they found all boys until they started getting boyfriends. His parents had been high school sweethearts who had married right after graduation. His sister Makenzie was born just five months after his parents married. As a child Clark was into trucks, trains, planes and cars and it was something that carried over into adulthood. He had dropped out of high school to pursue his dream of working as an auto mechanic. Clark worked with his dad in their small family shop for a few years after moving to New York with a former girlfriend. Before the outbreak he had just opened up his very own shop.
He lost his girlfriend and their unborn child to the virus. Three of his sisters survived; his sister Makenzie was killed by a drunk driver when he was eighteen. His mother died of breast cancer last year, his father is currently alive but in poor health.

Clark has what many call the typical bad boy look: a scruffy jaw, unruly blonde hair, thick brows and bright blue eyes as well as tattoos and a few piercings in his eyebrow, nose and ears. His tattoos range from a portrait of his sister to odd objects such as a pair of pink fuzzy dice on the back of his right hand and a beer bottle. Clark would be considered short, standing at an even 5’8. He has a stocky, muscular build and was never one to shave or wax his body hair.

Katie "Kat" Gallagher
24 years old
Bow&Arrows
Her parents had been the cliché of the boy falling for the girl next door after being friend what seemed like forever. On the day of their graduation, he had pulled his courage together to tell her the truth of his feeling which she had accepted. It wasn't long before the two were in separable from one another which lead to Katie's two twin older brothers, Dylan and Ryan. Soon after they were married and a year after Katie was on the way, the other three (Sean, Gavin, Patrick) following throughout the years. Being in a house full of boys, Katie learned to toughen up and join into the rough play not wanting to be left out in anything. Most of her young years, she was just one of the boys and didn't understand most of the girls in her class who would rather play with dolls then get dirty playing ball. It wasn't until she started seeing boys in a different light that she took up with more "girly" ways as her brothers called it. In highschool, Katie found her love of art and the wanting to create something new so after graduation she started up a very small clothing business which was noticed by a high clothing brand by luck. They wished to have her join the company but that would mean moving away from Ireland and everything she knew to go to New York. After the encouragement from her family to follow her dreams, she left. It didn't seem like that much time had passed at all before the virus hit the world, leaving Kat to wonder if her family had made it or who she might have lost.

Katie has a head of curly auburn red hair that falls to her chest when dry which frames an oval shaped face with soft features. Her very fair skin dusted with light freckles over the bridge of her nose and shoulders. The iris of her eyes a olive green with a light gold circling the pupil if you are close enough to look that deep into them. She stands at the height of 5'4
Wyatt Hall
26 years old
Bat

Wyatt lost his mother when he was very young to a car accident so it is hard to remember much about her other then the little things (Smell, the way she laughed, her gentle ways). She was just a young woman at the prime of her life that was taken to soon and it almost killed his father losing her so suddenly. They pulled through it together though and everything seemed that much better when his father was able to fall in love again. The two dated and after a lot of thought and time, they married which gave way to his half sister Kelsey. Sadly, fate was just cruel and his fathers new love was getting sicker and sicker the closer to Kelsey's birth. She didn't make it which completely destroyed anything left of his father, nothing he said made the man feel better. The man just wasted away with a broken heart which left Wyatt not quite old enough to care for his bran new sibling and no one stepping in to take care of them. That is when his father's co worker stepped up to take care of them, his wife not being able to have kids and the other man respected his father.
They had a good life with they Johnsons and Kelsey even took their last name. Wyatt worked hard down at shipping docks and any odd job he could to pay for college, wanting to really get into police work and help save people. When the virus hit, Kelsey didn't make it and also spread it to his adopted family which broke his heart.

Wyatt has shaggy black hair that never seem to be tame(Even if he tries) and it falls into deep chocolate brown eyes. Sun kissed skin covering a strong muscled physique gained through constant hard labor and training. A scar on his side from a bad run in when the towns went crazy for supplies and he hadn't been armed with a weapon which changed fast. He stands at the height of 5' 9

The Disease:

Description:

Highly contagious the disease is spread through either direct contact or, in advance cases the disease has become airborne through respiratory droplets. Characteristics of the disease are swellings of the body, particularly the lymph nodes of the armpits and groins, fever, vomiting, and in advanced cases coma or death.

The incubation period of the disease is 2-5 days, with the elderly, young or immune-compromised it is much more rapid.

As the disease evolved over the course of three years it developed three strains, like it had in the past:

‘Classic’—Swellings of the lymph nodes, the bacteria secretes a toxin that
‘Septicemic’—A progression of the classic disease, as the bacteria infects the blood toxins are secreted that causes clotting. Tissue death due to clotting and cutting off circulation is very common in this form of the disease. Often this is the most fatal.
‘Pneumonic’—The bacteria infects the lungs causing hemorrhaging in the lungs, cough and fever.

Symptoms:

*Painful, discolored swellings of the lymph nodes of the armpits and groin area.
*Fever
*Nausea
*Vomiting
*Hemorrhaging in the skin and internal organs
*Headache
*Weakness
*Necrosis of soft tissues of hands, feet, arms and legs
*Cough

History:

A genetically modified sample of Yersina pestis was created on Eden Island in 2010, kept hidden from the public until it’s outbreak in early 2014, the sample was to be used as biological warfare, planned years earlier. It was released into the public after an accidental transfer onto a scientist on leave.

It was never meant to leave Eden Island until it was contained and the American people could be vaccinated. Currently there are no records of a successful vaccine being produced in the four yearlong project. By June of 2014 1/3 of the earth’s population had been wiped out as it spread continent to continent. The CDC was unable to contain and isolate those infected. As of December 2014 the CDC ceased to exist.

By October of 2015 most of the world’s population had died. Several tsunamis, earthquakes and other natural disasters aided in the death toll.

In December of 2015 the plague, as it was penned in the New York Times back in 2014, reached its climax. By February of the following year it had died down but still remained an active threat to the remaining humans.
Setting:

Time:
Mid-February of 2017; New York City, New York.

Tribes:
Within the region of New York there are many small tribes scattered across the land in their claims. Settling around sources of water they scrape out their living by returning to simple technology and hunting as well as gathering and scavenging.

Religion:

*“New Age”: Founded in 2014, just after the outbreak, by a charismatic man by the name of Nathaniel Winters, the New Age religion started as a safe haven for those who felt betrayed by their god. As they looked for a new God, Nathaniel spoke of his visions of the sun telling him where to go, how to live and what to believe. Many tribes have converted to this new age religion. Nathaniel Winters was killed in a small tribe war in March of 2016.

Aspects of religion:
*Sacrifices of goods—plants, animals, and valuables to the sun god. More frequently human sacrifices are occurring as there are shortages of animals.
*Worshiping of the sun—following the movement of the sun through the sky, those that believe in the sun god pray for a new dawn of when they will once again rise and reclaim their old lives.
*Holidays—the solstices are observed and human and animal sacrifices are highly common on these days. Other minor holidays observed are spin-offs of pre-plague holidays, centered around the sun.

Other modern religions such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism also survive and are practiced.
