I watched Resident Evil last night okay
I'm in a zombie apocalypse mood.
Plot
The city of New Yolk has always been pretty busy, always busy. The largest company in the world even had it's main building there. The Raine Incorporated Agency has always been top notch in every field. Whether it's healthcare, politics, educational, or just your average diner. You could see the watermark of RIA printed on almost every everyday object.
RIA became twisted, eventually, like every other company with too much power. RIA thought it could defy the human mind, and started secretly testing human subjects and their genetics to go way beyond what a normal human should be able to do. Eventually they found a way to reanimate human cells, but at a price. The reanimated human became engrossed with the hunger for living flesh. So engrossed, even, that the reanimated human bore no memories of compassion, mercy, or their past life. At first RIA was ecstatic, saying these humans could be the perfect army. However, it wasn't until it was too late and the infected broke loose and it was found that whoever the infected kills with its bite becomes just like them.
Our story begins when the outbreak does. Some of us may be comfortable in our home, turning off the news warning in annoyance as the headline flashes, not even bothering to read that it says "RIA SUED AS THE MAN-MADE OUTBREAK FLUSHES THROUGH NEW YOLK". Others in our group may already be on the run, having lived in New Yolk. Either way, we all meet at an abandoned bean factory. There is plenty of food, if you don't mind beans. Eventually, though, we'll have to go on the move again. Somehow we have to infiltrate New Yolk, the most infected city in the world, break into the RIA main building, which is more so full of infected than even New Yolk itself, and find a cure that might not even exist.
Characters
Okay, so everyone has to have a minimum of two characters, but a maximum of three.
Here I'll list some options of the characters:
1
The innocent one who starts off living comfortably but then has to hurry off as the neighbors scream in terror when the infected reaches them. Doesn't have time to pack properly. Unprepared.
2
The one who lived in New Yolk and barely escaped. They knew what was coming, though, since they've always been somewhat paranoid of RIA's power. Well packed, well prepared.
3
The one who lived close to New Yolk, and knew about the infection and was extremely well packed and on the move by the time it reached their area.
4
The one who was tested on in RIA before the infection started. When the infection broke loose they had time to escape. No memories. Remarkable fighter. Only packed with weapons.
5
The son/daughter of a scientist in RIA. Knows where to find cure, but only remembers fragments due to their parent trying to protect them from a fellow scientist killing them for information.. their memories are extremely hazy. Best friends with the character below. Extremely well packed but always in danger with RIA trying to find out where the cure is from them.
6
The intern of RIA. Didn't know about the infection, as that was strictly higher class information and they were just an intern. In fact, they were lied to so many times that they rarely had any preparation for the infection. Best friends with the character above.
7
The one who lives far, far away from any of this mess, but they were visiting New Yolk (or a place near New Yolk). The reason for visiting is optional, but they are only as prepared as the clothes they packed along with them. They just wanna go home before the infected reaches their family.
8
The one who works at a store in the heart of New Yolk, but they boarded up really tightly and was well prepared for the infected due to the large amount of food.
[/B]9[/b]
The one who was always on the run, but since law doesn't really matter now, they are already used to being on the run and running away. Packed mostly with weapons. Back story for criminal life is optional. Well prepared.
^ You can branch off of these characters but that's basically the general layout. Character sheet below. Keeping it short since people can make up to three characters.

Words to Know.
The Infected/ Infees/ Infs: Zombies lol, people kept shortening and shortening it. Groups of younger kids like use call them Infs.
New Yolk: Basically New York. I don't want this setting to be exactly real, so places like California, Detroit, Michigan, Florida, Alaska, Japan, Russia, are now places named Califoria, Detree, Michitran, Florode, Alisko, Pajan, and Rassio.
Zanimal: An animal that has been infected.
Infrun: An infected person that can run or move fast. Strength and reflexes are also enhanced.
Infern: An infected person that has been infected so long that it has started to mutate. Is usually a lot smarter, or can actually put up a fight. Almost always an Infrun as well. We won't see these until later in the roleplay.
Inf: Any word that has inf in front of it is some form of the Infected. Some zanimals are also called infimals.
Rules
No one or two liners.
Atleast three sentences with every post.
No godmodding.
No spam.
Not everyone has to like each other
Not everyone has to know each other
I know "loners" or "lone wolves" are considered slightly annoying because it's always a go to personality, but they are welcomed here lol
If you don't like any of the character options above, feel free to make your own backstory.
I know some of you might not like the genetically modified characters because it seems OP to be such a good fighter, but we can have at least 2 genetically modified characters. They most likely know each other, but don't remember it.
Also, feel free to have one of your characters die off. That's why I'm making you have at least 2.
Ask before joining I guess lol.

C5
Name/Nickname: Rosemary Winston
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Looks: black jeans, black converse
Short backstory: Her mom worked at RIA on the whole infection case. There should be a cure, and if there is, she's the only person to know about it. Everyone on the case, including her mother herself, has been either killed or infected. She was well prepared due to her mother's earlier paranoia that the experiment would go wrong, and when her mother never came home one day she knew to grab her things and go.
Skill/s: She's pretty average, but her knowledge on the cure's location makes her extremely valuable.
Weapon/s: A large kitchen knife and a golf club
Personality: Quirky, thoughtful, opinionated, likes sweets and fashion, dislikes overreactive people and having to exercise, fears being taken or forced to do something
Other: She's nice up until the point you pressure her or someone she knows, then she either cries or yells a lot.
C4 but a different experiment
Name/Nickname: Jay Etherston
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Looks:
with blue jeans and white converse
Short backstory: Before he was experimented on he was exceptional at strength and hand to hand combat of all types. Unlike Abbie where they tried to boost his smarts and strength, RIA wanted to see if they could boost his mental stamina to match his already extraordinary strength. With much persuasion, he volunteered to try out some serums but it just made him weaker physically. He became much smarter, yes, but it also fractured his ability for sympathy and made him kind of a sadist.
Skill/s: Street fighting, more than average intelligence
Weapon/s: Pocket knife, bare hands
Personality: Snarky, confident, hyper, likes being first and acts of violence, dislikes sweet things and light colors, fears almost nothing, if he had to choose then metophobia
Other: Nope, metophobia isn't a misspelling of emetophobia. Metophobia.
C8
Name/Nickname: Jane Rodriguez
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Looks: purple shirt with jean jacket, black skirt and purple heel boots
Short backstory: Jane worked at a small convenience store before the infection started. She was a highschool dropout and was barely making way. When she saw about the infection's outbreak on a small television screen in the store she knew that the store was close to the RIA company and that it wouldn't be long before the Infees reached her. She boarded up the doors first, and along with a few co-workers they had found the time to gather things from the shelves and escaped from the surrounded store. All of her co-workers had died off one by one and became infected and she was the only one left by the time she reached the bean factory.
Skill/s: Good at sports, athletic
Weapon/s: Two tire irons
Personality: Sassy, whiplash attitude, loyal, fierce, likes proving that she's right and standing out, dislikes being drowned out in other opinions and being underestimated, fears being abandoned
Other: She only dropped out because of issues with herself and her family, she's actually pretty smart. -
Could I be C1?

C1 and C7?
-
Sure

C1
Name/Nickname: Thomas Tae
Age: (12-17): 14
Gender: Male
Looks: (include clothing, hair color and style, eye color, skin color, etc) This with crystal blue eyes
Short backstory: He was raised in a family full of girls, and has always been a bit odd. He isn't very athletic, but he can run very fast. He was star on the track team. He's also shorter than most boys his age, and EXTREMELY innocent. He hasn't even had 'The Talk' yet. His dad left when he was very little, and that's why he lives in a household full of girls. He also takes ballet! (Don't ask)
Skill/s: Agility and speed.
Weapon/s: Since he didn't have time to get much, his current weapon is a kitchen knife and his little sister's T-ball bat. He works well with katanas and short-range pistols though.
Personality: (include likes, dislikes, fears, etc): He loves video games, dancing, and just people in general. He will do anything to protect his family. He also has a strange addiction to adorable girl anime's. He's very sensitive to the horror genre, and is a bit of a wuss. But all in all, he's pretty dang adorable.
Other: He's pansexual, but hasn't felt any sexual attraction. Just simple cute crushes.
C7

Age: (12-17): 13
Gender: Female
Looks: (include clothing, hair color and style, eye color, skin color, etc): This
Short backstory: She lives in the Undited Kindom (United Kingdom). She lived with her parents in a small studio apartment with her cat and her family dog. She loves it there, but always wanted to become an actress. Her parents took her to New Yolk to visit the many theatres there. She was enjoying ituntil RIA took it away.
Skill/s: Stealth and Hand-to-hand Combat.
Weapon/s: All she brought with her on her trip was a mace and a pocket knife.
Personality: (include likes, dislikes, fears, etc) She loves acting, dancing, singing, and writing. She especially enjoys reading. She's a huge bookworm, and a fan of every book in existence. She also loves hot chocolate (not coffee) and big fuzzy sweaters. She's scared of being forgotten by everyone, and hates the idea of bullies. She does everything in her power to stand up to them.
Other: She condsiders herself to be too young to have a sexuality. She likes boys, but not in a sexual way. More of a romantic way. So she'd be condsidered asexual. -

Dang it past self, making empty promises.. I'll start now.)
Jane jumped as another thump was heard against the doors. It was scary to think that only a few feet away lay hundreds of Infees trying to break down the barrier between them. Scary for normal people, but to Jane who was sitting cross-legged and unafraid by the doors, she felt nothing. Her boss, Eliza, was busy trying to lay more layers between the glass windows and them. "We're lucky we have bars on these windows, it would've broken and we'd be dead by now. How's that escape plan coming, Paul?" She shouted at Jane's coworker, Paul. Paul grunted. Eliza sighed and turned to Jane. "And what productive thing are you doing?" She asked accusingly. "Smoking," Jane replied, puffing out a whiff of gray. "I mean we'll all die, so might as well." Jane added emotionlessly.
"Guess it's time," Rosie sighed. An explosion was heard in the background. Her mom was supposed to come home four hours ago. She grabbed her prepacked duffel bag and a helmet. The safest place to go was downtown, where a group of factories lay. Most were food factories and they were relatively barred. She had already checked it out days earlier, each factory was surrounded by gates. The only thing she wasn't ready for was what factory to choose. It hadn't occurred to her that everything would end so quickly. As she tied the helmet to her head and hopped on her scooter, she wondered whether she should be feeling sadness since her mother was undoubtedly.. Rosie shook away those thoughts. No time for grievance now.
Jay kicked at the scientists trying to hold him down. He saw the people they kept down there, he saw those .. things.. break out from the lab. Jay had been coming here voluntarily for the past few weeks but for about three days now they wouldn't let him go. He snuck around some and managed to spot what he heard whispers call "infected" and he saw them break out. They were out there now! He saw what they could do, he knew he had to get out of here before it was overrun with those cannibalistic people. He didn't have the strength that he used to though, and there were too many people trying to keep hold of him. Luckily they were normal humans.. Jay suddenly caught a glimpse of a pipe and cast a major kick in that direction. It broke open, and smoke started filling the room. He rushed past the tangle of lab coats and hadn't made it a few yards before running into a hallway full of the infected. "Damn.." he muttered.
