(This thread is in early access. the main thread will be open when there are enough players available)

Story:
In 2014, a recent epidemic arose within a country like any modern-day country. Patient Zero was infected with a new virus called AVAX-12, an experimental pathogen which affected a select few of people, and causes violent attitude, regenerative properties, and a very bad case of Munchies. In short, it was a zombie virus. Somehow, the virus escaped, and before the government noticed, everyone was in a widespread panic. Those who were smart took up weapons and prepared themselves for the worst.

Basics:
You are a survivor who is either immune or susceptible to the plague with limited rations and ammunition. You can either choose to live life in a collapsed world filled with corpses, or find a cure and pick up the pieces. There are 3 major cities, Thrist, Gorge, and Fate. You may choose to live in one of them, or survive in between.

Game Rules:​

Cardio
You are in a world of zombies. If you don't want to be a zombie Happy Meal, you will have to be on your feet most of the time. You only have a set amount of energy, and you will occasionally need to refuel. And all things considered, fatties will most likely go first.


Double-Tap

Zombies may be slow, but they as sure as hell are durable.
Though a bullet to the noggin is more than enough, it's not a waste of a bullet for one more shot to the head. You can die very easily here. The last thing you need is a dead corpse suddenly grabbing your leg after you dropped it.


Beware of Crowds

You might be encountering hordes of undead. Consider always keeping your guard up, because nowadays, the zombies know when you're in a vulnerable position. Post as often as you can to prevent this.


Always Wear Seatbelts

Though this rule seems pretty basic, it's also necessary.
Besides fighting zombies, you can also die from basic world things, including raiders, starvation, and car accidents.

Travel Light
Though most people shouldn't travel at night, as that's when the zombies are most active, you have to make sure you have enough rations. Though there are a lot of things that you'll come across, you will only be able to carry as much as your pack allows you, and carrying an arsenal isn't ideal.


Be a Hero

Though more situations then one can get you killed, sometimes it's best to get involved. Some people might even give rewards to those who help them. But remember: anyone can be hostile to each other.

-ACCEPTED CHARACTERS:-​

• Hexin
• mindstorm787

• Username: Hexin
  Time Zone: EST
  Character Name: Elijah Nunziato
  Alias (Optional): Eli
  Personality: Apathetic towards some things, but overall a decent individual. He can be kind to most people, regardless of their appearance. Although wary towards strangers, he can be a bit too trusting at times towards others; not naive. The kind of guy that tries to see the good in people, despite their outward appearance, or past. Before the outbreak, these were traits that helped him be such an affable guy.
  Gender: Male
  Short Bio: Before the outbreak, he was just an average teenager who lived with his parents while getting used to the college life. Brown layered hairstyle with light brown eyes. Standing at 5'9, he inherited the height from his mother; as his father was 6'3. Mother and father were white collar workers whom worked in the city of Gorge. He spent most of his leisure time playing first person shooter games, and survival online games. Aside from gaming, he spent time doing general studies; first year of college am I right? He was undecided in a major. When the epidemic hit, it was to his heart pounding shock. One late evening while he was asleep, he heard something peculiar in the house. The first thing that came to mind was a thief. Wanting to alert his parents, he snuck out of the room and towards their bedroom. However, getting closer to the room, he realized the noises that had awoken him were emanating from the master bedroom....his parents bedroom. Realizing this, his teenage mind could only come up with one thing: Husband and Wife intimacy. Feeling the close call of walking in on them, he headed back to his room and went to sleep. The next morning he awoke at the usual time to begin the morning ritual. Bathroom stuff, and then breakfast. When he exited the bathroom and went downstairs, he found no one. It was strange to him as he usually caught them at the end of their breakfast before leaving for work. Eyes scanned the kitchen, seeing nothing out of place.
  
  After eating his breakfast, he headed towards the stairs when he encountered it. Just as he was about to take the first step up, he noticed from the corner of his eyes a figure standing at the top of the stairs. When he looked up, there it was...staring down at him with these bloodthirsty eyes. Teeth were bared at him, tainted with red smudges that covered its entire face as well as well toned body. It began to scream at him, furrowing its brows like it had been wronged or something. So many things went through Elijah's mind in a matter of seconds. "M-mom!?" he exclaimed in horror. The sound of his voice seemed to push her off the edge as she descended down the stairs. From there, it was just a matter of who cops and robbers or whatever. The point is, he made it out of that situation alive. Now, he lives on. Things he can find he usually makes good use of them immediately. Travel light, right? He currently resides in the urban areas, ghosting it out. Along the way he's had his fair share of troubles, but he's alive.

An Ornamental sword has more range than some guns, and ties with other guns? Just a heads up.
How many items can we hold?
