The year is 2012. The day is January 31. It is a glorious day for science. A new method of treatment for dying patients of virtually any ailment has been developed--a treatment that could revolutionize the world of medicine. The miracle cure comes in the form of a genetically engineered virus called K-5. Once it's injected into a patient, it shuts down all systems except for the heart and brain, which it reduces to a hibernation state. It then uses the massive amounts of extra energy the body isn't using to repair any injuries or sicknesses in 1-2 days, depending on the severity of the damage. The patients then rise "from the dead" and begin functioning normally! The only problem? The frontal lobe of their brain, the area which makes human rationalization possible, doesn't return from dormancy. In addition, the pain receptors and other bodily functions don't work either. So now we have a human who can't rationalize running around with only two vulnerabilities--the brain and the heart. The Panic
The problem with one zombified human? Replace "one" with "over seven million". By the year 2012, the earth's human population rose to 8.5 billion. Over half of those were in need of K-5 to cure cancer, AIDS, fatal injuries and other conditions. Roughly three of the five billion patients died within several hours of treatment, and the other two billion rose--and they were hungry. Two billion more were devoured, while one billion escaped with their lives--but had been infected via zombie bites. The remaining 500 million people scattered, either killing each other in their panic, being devoured, or, if they were very lucky, surviving to reach *temporary* safety. You are one of these survivors, and you've reached Crookston, Minnesota. You find yourself searching for supplies: food, weapons, transportation, and by some chance more survivors.

3. Post your info. Please post your full application (character info) in your first post and get started RPing! As long as everyone can use proper grammar and keep it mostly T-Rated, you don't need me to approve your apps.

Please, though, LEAVE OUT YOUR BIO except when you post for the first time.

I woke up today to find Dev, Nicholai and Rob argueing. Dev says that he wants to leave and is tryingto convince Nicholai to go with him. But Rob thinks we should stick together. I'm not sure, more of us means more protection but it also means we attract more attention.
After an hour of disscusion Dev and Nicholai decide that they will go. Me and Rob are wondering whether they will change their minds and come back so we stay here for the moment.
I eat some food and give some to Dev and Nicholai as they may need it.
Total:- - 1 days food 1 days food to Dev 1 days food to Nicholai

Choosing not to explore any of the ruined shacks along the streets, Gamma runs around until he encounters another large group of zombies, blocking what seems to be an exit. 1 slim and stealthy with a cap and a hunting knife, 1 titan with a baseball bat, and one mutant zombie, horribly decayed and disformed, with a hatchet. Gamma has suprise on his side, so He climbs up to a high vantage point, up the buildings, Snipes the slim one, open fires on the mutant, and before taking a few pot shots at the hulk, jumps down and slices and slashes with the corrosive machete.

February 4, 2012 Day 5 The food and water in my backpack ran out, but we still have the food James found. Dev and Nicholai ran off, the idiots. If Canada's too tough for them, fine. Besides, this means our supplies will last twice as long! I turned to James: "So what's the plan?" I asked.
((Devos, please shape up. The grammar, punctuation, and capitalization leaves much to be desired. Plus, you need to actually follow the story. If you're too lazy to read each post and respond with something worthwhile, maybe RPs aren't for you. Sorry to be harsh, but that's the way I see it.))

Entry #2 (Feb 5th) To day I found my house and I was able to get ten days of supply's, my iPod touch and a Rubik's cube. I am thinking of setting up a base and every day looking for supply's and people. Another reason I'm going to set up a base is because I have medicine at my house so if me or my friend gets sick we can get better
I think I've been lucky because I haven't seen any zombies yet and I hope I don't see any.
I burned my math text book to help start my gas fire place today.

He climbed up onto the balcony of one of the terraced apartments along the wide street. He then took aim at the slim one, he got ready to squeeze the trigger... and then, a huge, dead weight body-slammed him from behind. He was thrown of the balcony by the force of the blow, with the "Thing" Still on his back. The zoombies in the square drooled, thinking that today's meal had come, but he wasn't about to go down without a fight. He managed to wrestle the walking corpse of his back, and decapitated it cleanly with his corrosive machete. He then sliced the slim one through the head, and dashed for the exit, firing repeatedly as he went. He didn't get a chance to grab any of the equipment, but managed to kill all of them but the titan. But as he sprinted out from the maze, the titan gave up on the chase, resolving not to leave his territory. Once he was half a mile away, He stopped to rest, and found lying on the floor, a rugby helmet and a small uzi, with no clip inside it.
-1 day food and water -1 sniper round -10 burst rounds.

I woke up today to find Dev trying to eat me, I don't know how he died, but there he was..crawling towards me with that look in his eye. I left and headed back in the direction of my old party members, hoping to find them, before I left I took some food (+ 4 days food and water) off of Dev's body along with his lighter, I don't know where his gun and baseball bat went... I can't help but wonder what could have possibly happened the night before.

February 7, 2012 Day 9 We chanced upon a body today, and whaddya know, our old friend Dev. Looks like the poor bastard got what was coming to him. Never split up! A few hours later we picked up Nicholai again. But I swear, if he leaves again he won't get any more favors. Anyway, we're still heading up north.
A few hours of driving and we reached Ottawa. We'll set up base here and try to outlive the infection.
((@Cambria: Have you thought about how to play a child? A 12-year-old in this situation without anyone else around would be emotionally distraught, terrified, and driven insane from loneliness, fright and sorrow at losing his parents. Please keep this all in mind. You can change your age if you want.))

I found my old companions again today.. or they found me really... I told them I was sorry for leaving, it was just that I didn't want Dev to be on his own. We are traveling to Ottawa to try to set up base.
