[My first attempt at hosting a public Roleplay, hopefully this goes well]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conspiracies.  They reigned our society. Controlled it.
Ever present. I could feel their presence when our president was assassinated, when our economy collapsed, when society itself caved in. We sought out an answer and what did we get? An organization that claimed to be here for "our best interest." But they weren't. They didn't quell the riots, they didn't bring about punishment, and they didn't restore our societies' once-was luster. They resorted to nuclear arms.

It did nothing for us except bring about tragedy. What was once a still beautiful city that lacked order was turned into a playground for disease and aftershock. There are no buildings, only rubble lies where they once stood. The air was unstable, and soon others began to die due to the contagion.
So what was their solution then? Oh, they had this wonderful idea to inject a select few with a virus. It rendered their brains incapacitated and disabled many functions that were necessary for humans to live. This was neither a simple or practical solution. The virus mutated and warped us once-were humans into something terrible. We devoured others. Women, animals, children, it didn't matter, we were driven on our blood lust. Once civilized, we were reduced to savages. Blood stained our hands and dead bodies littered the streets.

They couldn't stop this. For years it waged on, for years we lived in fear, afraid to venture outside of our makeshift homes we had constructed out remains from old buildings.
The only practical thing they saw as an option was to erase our minds. A new vaccine was made, this time it numbed our mental capacity. It made us weak, insecure, brainless, and dependent on our "government." We call them Carnes -- brainwashed followers of the organization. They're like puppets almost. Following every rule and order. But there are a few who resist their hold, resist the rules and dictatorship. We live among this riot-filled city and fight to bring peace. We don't feel remorse for killing the infected. They were humans in another life, but they aren't now...

Mafferden

to be rather rude and blunt about it or he just  says the wrong thing at the wrong time.  He doesn’t like to get to know anybody or, to


put it simply, he just doesn’t really like people, however if he grows attached


to you he’s very protective. Although he doesn’t get along with other people


very well, he loves cats. Everybody has to love something, right?

but she later died of old age. Since then he’s been living on his own in the

little bossy and rude at times but she is quite kind once you get to know her.







History: Raina’s parents abandoned her and her little sister


when Raina was 16 leaving them to fend for themselves. It was a miracle that


they managed to survive, but they did. Her and her sister stay inside the


rubble of an old office building.

Is there and age limit and a specific gender ratio? Like if you join with a girl, you have to join with a boy and vise versa?

[Not at all.
Gender ratio is irrelevant since there's no need to have an even male/female ratio. (ie; there will be no romance involved)

Quick question before I post my boys. Well, it is actually two questions.

1. Do you mind odd eye and hair colour?

2. Do you mind if one of my chars as a genetic mutation?

[MidnightRainbows; I'm assuming these are all rioters?]
[Dragonstar; Nope, no problem at all. The creative the character, the more fun this will be.]

[I'm getting ready to head to work. Due the late schedule that I have I probably will not be on until tomorrow.
Feel free to still join and post up character bios, though.
I'm also thinking about getting a co-owner for the thread while I'm away.]
