I, PLOT
'It started strangely, just random. People left and right began bleeding, falling, and dying. Most kids seemed to be... crazy. Well, they were, if one second they were laughing and smiling, then the next they fell, seemed to be lost, and after that... They grabbed the closest living thing still sane, and bit it. They ate it. They ate everything! They killed everything that wasn't one of them!...'
'They ran with the ability they had before they were crazy. They had the ability of strength as before. They even had INTELLIGENCE! HOW COULD THEY SET TRAPS, USE OBJECTS TO KILL US!' He stops, crying a bit.
'They killed so quickly. They killed my brother, they killed my wife, they killed my baby boy! And the worst part of it all... Was all my kids except for the baby was affected. They ate my memories before my eyes. And I had to... do that to all my children.' A large punch sound rings, and he sobs, the sound of his body hitting the floor.
After what seems like minutes, he stops sobbing, turning into sniffles, and he continues. 'The brain was affected, by a shock feeling. At least it was for me. So I guess it started with some electrons or whatever.'
'But that doesn't make any sense, as to why the moon is blue and green, or why my friend who had a tumor, has a strange increase of smell, even though the tumor killed his ability to smell. But I noticed something... Kids seemed to be the only ones turning. Old people are barely seen as one of them, and almost all of them are children.'
'Well, I don't understand why I keep a daily record of this. It's stupid. I call it The Zap. But, I guess I need to continue. My wife would have wanted me to. Recording end.'
This was taken a week after it started. When the the roleplay starts, this doesn't happen, it was just a regular time/camping trip before this happened.
The Zap is an electronic pulse, which affects living material, changing the way the body's hormones work, and triggering the shutdown of certain brain functions, but increasing some. It shuts down the ability to remember, reason, parts of speech, most emotion, recognition, and memory.
But it slightly increases movement, orientation, and the senses, including how they react, and allows their body to go EXTREMELY long periods of time without food or drink, lasting up to years without food.
It removes all emotion, except for the feeling of rage, and enjoyment of eating flesh, particularly human, but animal too. It also allows a bit more physical activity to be done. They are NOT dead, so they do not rot.
They can only be killed regularly, or they die by age. They also have slower splitting of cells, and prolonged life of cells, so aging takes longer. As said, they do retain intelligence of life before, and have a bit of problem solving ability.
People don't 'turn' when they get bitten. At least, not until they get bitten a lot. The 'zombies' have blood coming from their mouth, so they spill the blood inside you. Not much blood, and only when they bite living things. After lots of their blood inside you, you can be infected.
Now, why the moon is green and blue, is related to real-life devastating events.
Oh, and your character doesn't know of this, and needs to figure it out. (Note: This is what someone knows, so not everything is in it.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II, Rules
1) Don't start when you want. Wait.
2) I or admin will accept your CS, but I have the right to decline it after an admin accepts it.
3) Soar is an admin, for suggesting a location.
4) If you believe this could be better done, give me suggestions. Not really a rule, I'm just asking, but you may become an admin. Oh, and I have the right to add rules when I see fit.
5) You dead, you're dead. Move on, make a new character.
6) Admins get the right to run the thread while I'm gone, accept/deny CS, and govern what outcome you get.
7) The basic junk. Do romance and such at your risk, blah blah blah. Look at the rule numbers and my username. What's in common?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI, How it works
There are multiple things you need to watch out for. Being hungry, wounded, things like that. This is how I will display your status.
Hunger: 100%
Thirst: 100%
Sleep: 100%
Waste: 100%
Sanity: 100%
Any noteable effects?: (Wounded, etc.)
If your Thirst drops below 20%, you collapse, soon to die unless you are woken up and given something to eat.
If Hunger drops below 10%, you collapse, soon to die unless you are woken up and given something to drink.
If Sleep drops below 5%, you collapse, sleeping until you either get woken up, or if Sleep reaches 50%.
If Waste drops below 20%, you urinate/'drop a bomb' in your pants. Which can disease you.
If Sanity drops below 50%, you begin hearing/seeing things. Below 25%, sometimes you can't control your character. At 0%, you go insane, no control of yourself.
It goes in this order of how fast it drops. Thirst, Hunger, Waste, Sleep. Sleep drops the slowest, Thirst highest.
Sanity is different, in how it drops. It only drops when your character sees, hears, or does something that disturbs them. It increases when they do something relaxing.
While sleeping, the rates Thirst, Hunger and Waste go down is halved.
It works ISRP styled, so you type command, I give outcome. But it also works as an RP, so you can talk/give items to other people. Eg. I searched for another cookie, and replied to the other person (PC)
I would respond: You manage to find a mostly-eaten cookie.
I wouldn't respond to what your saying to the PC person, they would say something.
This is it, kids/troubled teens/adults. Enjoy! |
