==========Present Day==========
News Anchor: This just in: Scientist have released new reports claiming to have effectively countered the HIV Virus. Malificent Research Facilites, or MRF, has sent a represntative to discuss with us this groundbreaking research. So how did MRF achieve this?
MRF Rep.: Well, its quite simple really. We inserted a mild version of the HIV Virus into Human Test Subjects, in the hopes that we could recreate the affects of the Polio Vacine.
News Anchor: (speaking from earbud) So you're saying that you were hoping that the test subjects would develope a high resistance to the Virus, similar to what a Polio Vacine does with the dead virus?
MRF Rep.: Ah... Yes, that is basicaly what we were striving for.
News Anchor: And how many test subjects devloped a resistance to HIV?
MRF Rep.: Uh... Well, actually... All of them. And the subjects went further to develope an actual immunity to HIV and AIDs. This is beyond what we expected.
News Anchor: So you're saying that you have essentially cured HIV/AIDs?
MRF Rep.: Yes. We have.
==========Eight Months Later==========
Broadcast: THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, AND THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. RECENT REPORTS HAVE FOUND THAT THOSE ISSUED WITH THE HIV/AIDS VACINE TEND TO HAVE MEDICAL PROBLEMS, INCLUDING HALUCINATIONS, INCOHERENT LANGUAGE, OR DEATH. IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW EXIBITS THESE OR ANY OTHER UNUSUAL SYMPTONS, AND HAS BEEN GIVEN THE HIV/AIDS VACINE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR POISON CONTROL IMMEDIATELY. THIS MESSAGE REPEATS. (message repeats) __________ Maverick4 presents to you, in association with Armor Games, an RPG on zombies, survival, alliances, betrayals, and much, much more:
And so this is where you, the player, comes in. You are just an average person. Maby you have a spouse, maby you have kids, or may be your just a college student. This RPG's goal is to attempt to provide an accurate and realistic scenario of a viral outbreak causing a plague of zombies. For more information, please continue reading the rest of this post. __________ General Information:
Name: TITAN
Type: Virus
Infection Spread: As the vacine is based off of HIV, the mutation still carries the ability to spread just like HIV. So any bodily fluids that come in contact with you that are infected with TITAN and enter into your body can infect you.
Virus History: Deloped by Malificent Research Facilites, or MRF, to combat the growing HIV/AIDs epidemic. The virus was distributed on a global scale as an effective vacine to protect or cure HIV/AIDs. However, the virus soon mutated, spreading like a wildfire among people. 80% died, 15% zombified, and 5% have a natural immunization against the viral mutation.
The virus gains control in a relatively simple manner: When it enters the host, it goes through the bloodstream, using blood cells to multiply. Going through the bloodstream it enters into the brain, where it begins the takeover. The virus infects the brain, and developes into a pseudo-parasite, forcing the brain to shut down non-vital functions, such as speach, digestion, and the kidneys. The virus produces a protein that prevents decomposition in the host, allowing it longer life. The host also gives the virus and the rest of the functioning organs its nutrients. Respitory system enlarges, to allow the brain more oxygen. The virus feeds off of the host, and it takes about 20 years for the host to lack sufficient nutrients to maintain the virus, causing death: both to the host and virus.
Infected Characteristics: The infection take about 10-30 minutes to gain control of the hose. The host (if human), quickly exibits irrational behavior (such as incoherrent speach, repeating random phrases, or sudden anger). As the virus gains more control, the host skin becomes bone white, while the veins become black. The iris expands to cover the entire eye, and no white is visible. As stated previously, the respitory system enlarges; the increased amount of air flowing down the windpipe and past the vocal cords means that the infected give off a slight whining noise, and occasionally a scream. Can't see very well; Daytime: Blurry images, average distance. Nightime: Attracted to lights, similar to bugs. Can walk, crawl, and lope at about 8MPH. Also has crazy good smelling, and sniffs the ground/air regularly. __________ Registration:
Please, only 4 people for now. Later, I may allow more.--------------- Name: (Simple enough, I hope) Age: Gender: Occupation: (what your job was: (teacher, nurse, lawyer, etc) However, no military, police, firefighters, etc, 'survival experts' or anything like that; try to keep it average-joe, 'Americana') --------------- Health: 20/20 Days Survived: 0 --------------- Equipment: (based off of your occupation: Nurse has medical stuff, etc) Weapon: None Special: (I will give you) --------------- Bio: Physical Description: (what your character looks like) __________ Goal:
The purpose of you playing the RPG, or 'How You Win', is to survive 50 Days (AG TIME) from when you start playing. After 50 Days are up, you get magically rescued, and 'you win'. __________ SPECIAL NOTES
- I WILL try to kill you off. So don't go crying when you die. This is realistic, so if something doesn't work, it won't work. No retrys, no resets. You have one life, so play for it. And when you die, thats it; you can't join up again.
- Take this seriously. I'll tell you whats happening, and I won't give you any choices on what to do. Theres no A/B/C/D, YOU decide what to do. You make the right choice, you live. Make the wrong choice, you die. (see above note)
- Have fun. If it gets to much, you can quit. Don't enjoy it, you can quit. Seriously, if you have any major problems that inhibit your enjoyment, tell me, and I'll try to fix them (within reason) __________ That should be everything, and if not I'll post telling you what I missed. Enjoy.
Name: Michael Taylor Age: 27. Gender: Male Occupation: Medical Resident: Neurosurgery Physical Description: 6'0, Clean-Shaven, Black Hair(classic collegiate cut), Blue Eyes. --------------- Health: 20/20 Days Survived: 0 --------------- Equipment: Antibiotics, Bandages, Tourniquet, Suture/Needle, Anesthetic, Antiseptic Agent, Surgical Scrubs. Weapon: Surgical Saw. Special: Novalis (like the machine, you can take on complex problems ease, and without stressing out) --------------- Bio: Taylor was born to a pretty normal family; nuclear engineer for a dad, and a dean for a mom. Okay, so maybe that's not normal. That's genius material right there. Taylor was pressured a lot academically to do well, so even though he was pretty average, he studied a LOT, and grew up with a near-perfect GPA(think somewhere near 3.95) and a lot of ambition. He was accepted to an Ivy League college(his parents' encouragement of the dean of admissions may or may not have had something to do with it). So, he got a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and went on to medical school, where he got his M.D. He then went on to his residency, acquiring a job in Vancouver, Canada as a resident. He continued to take night classes throughout, and recently went from a bachelor's in biochem to a master's, but he still isn't licensed to practice yet, as he's only been a resident for two years.

You leave, and a clock strikes midnight: You've survived 1 day. You accidentaly bump into an orderly, who recognizes you:
"Hey" says she "Your shifts over; you should probaly get back home. I'm sure your family and friends are worried. I'll punch your card for you?"

*Its still the early hours of the breakout; panic has yet to set in on a wide spread scale
*Your my only participant now...
Your standing in the parking lot of Maverick General now, and its clear that the HIV/AIDs vacine was given out on a large scale: swarms of people are flooding into the hospital, and few are coming back out...

Lol. Did the tab key get you or what?
Err... I can't just run away. Something useful might be nice but if I went to, say, a gun store, it would probably have already been raided. I guess for now I'll just go home to see if I can get anything useful from my place.

1) Do you live in a condo? Apartment? Etc...
Well, medical residents make about $40,000 - $50,000 a year, so.... Taylor rents a split-level house, his roommate is his landlord.
2) Driving, or walking? Or a bicycle (bicycle, bicycle...)
Driving. Driving a used 2010 Chevy Silverado with camper shell.
3) You kinda have to be a little specific about what your gonna do and such.
Mea culpa. Drive home, but not on the main roads, preferably somewhere not crowded. Better?

You leave Maverick General, and begin to head home on back roads. You make it back without incident, though you see shadows flitting about on the sides of the roads, just out of view from your headlights. You pull up infront of the house, and see that the doors wide open... __________ Name:Jake Horn Age:23 Gender:Male Occupation:Engineer Physical Description:Tall,Caucasian,has an 8 pack,Sturdy --------------- Health: 20/20 Days Survived: 0 --------------- Equipment:Hammer,Welder,Small boards,a bag of nails Weapon: None Special: --------------- Bio:Jakes parents died when he was three.He was sent to an orphanage for 5 years and then he was adopted by a nice couple who were on vacation in Florida.They lived in California and they were rich.When he was in high school by the age 17 and about to graduate when the virus hit.Jake has no idea where he was born or who his parents names were.He owns a nice house with 3 bedrooms and the guest room is for rent.He also owns a Jeep.He mainly goes to work,comes back from work,and makes stuff at his home.He doesn't really like to use main roads because it is always rush hour where he lives.He still lives in california
You just got back from work, and your sitting on your couch watching the local news.
News Announcer: "A new virus has begun to afflict the world. A report issued by the US Government claims that the virus is perfectly harmless, just super contagious. However, hospitals are filling up with the afflicted. It would seem that theres more to this malady, but little else is known. Moving on to sports, the Jets beat the Colts in the first round of the playoffs. The Jets will either play The Steelers or The Patriots in the Second Round..."
After hearing about the virus, you decide on what to do.

You go through the the back door, and quietly enter into the house. You see a figure in the kitche, possibly your roomate, and he/its looking at the open door. You could also go upstairs, but it might alert the figure.
