The Extinction Cycle


*This thread is based on the Extinction series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. The RP will not follow the original story and knowledge of the books is NOT necessary.


Rules:
1. Your character isn't a God, and neither is mine.
2. Give people time to post.
3. Enjoy!

The story is based on a biological weapon, X9H9 or the hemorrhage virus, being released to the world. The virus spreads to 85% of the world within weeks. The virus itself is a mixture of Ebola and VX99, a drug meant to create super soldiers. The VX99 turns people into animals: People's mouths become oval shaped suckers with protruding lips; eyes become yellow with narrow slits; joints begin to bend in ways they shouldn't.

The story will be after Dr. Kate Lovato releases a bioweapon to kill most of the infected in an operation called Operation Depletion. However, 10% of the infected survive, leaving behind smarter and stronger monsters. The remaining infected become known as variants. Variants can die like any human, except they are faster, stronger, and have better senses than humans.



The start of our journey begins in San Diego, California at the beginning of summer. Our story can have any type of person in it, from accountant to soldier. Please do note that to survive your character needs to have some similarity with guns or knives because variants are extremely dangerous creatures.
