*Survivors' Journal-November 19 2018. The human population was thriving, and happy. Many problems of the past drifted into history, only distant memories. Until they came. They came without reason. Ruthlessly killing everyone. I am a lone survivor but not for long.-End of Survivors' Journal* A strange object fell from the sky. A man was struck by another. Everyone stood in terror and shock as hundreds more fell. The man struck stood back up, strangely malformed. His arms seemed to have become vines and his body bloated and twisted. From within the objects came small, strange yellow creatures. They latched onto a host and slipped inside their bodies and became one with them. They had no desire but to kill and infect. Graveyards became breeding grounds of the malformed hosts. Few, if any were spared. When the few survivors fought back the parasites lived on even when the body was dead. It seemed like there was no hope for Earth.
Hope you enjoyed reading that OP. Now you are a survivor of this apocalypse. Here is the sheet. 16 points to spend on stats.

Name: Jonathan Arkeright Age: 29 Background/Description: A college student and military veteran(sort of) fresh from finishing his courses, he has a doctorate in medical sciences, criminal justice, and psychology. He joined the military solely for their college program. He attended West Point, and was then shipped off to Afghanistan for combat. He was stationed there for a year, then was sent back home for R&R, with the intent of returning to combat after a few months. However, that was when the epidemic began. Personality: After seeing war, he became pessimistic and cold, as well as being harsh. He believes in harsh punishment for criminals but not in the eye for an eye system, thinking that would mean sinking to the criminal's level. He is rather uptight about not breaking laws or anything, and has a sort of honor system. However, he is also merciless and has a deep disgust for people who beg for their lives or try to barter for them. He prefers to work alone. He holds himself and others to incredibly high standards which he always adheres to. He does not believe in coincidence and could sometimes be described as paranoid. He is sometimes arrogant. He does not believe in doing things for the greater good, and although he is not a coward, he would not risk his life to help another, believing that if they are not strong enough to help themself, then they are not worthy of surviving. He is a firm atheist and has a deep disregard for religious people. Physical Description: He is muscular and tan, with straight white teeth and very short black hair. His eyes are bright blue. He is tall, 6'4, with a square jaw. His back is usually ramrod straight and his shoulders back, standing at attention.
