Note:
I am no longer accepting profiles which have guns in them. Read the rules and see that this is supposed to be realistic. There is no way on earth that every teenager in the world would just "stumble across a gun". I am thinking of closing this roleplay and starting again with much stricter rules.
This is the link to the Roleplaying page. You may post here if you have been accepted.

The world was thrown into total chaos.
There was no protocal for such a large scale outbreak.
Everyone wore masks, to protect themselves from the airborn strain.
The infected were kept together, in a labratory, far away from the rest of civilisation.
If anyone was bitten, they too would be infected.
They thought keeping them together and away from the world was enough.
But little did the government know how aggresive the virus would be.
Somehow, one of the infected had managed to escape, biting anyone it came in contact with.
The virus spread from then on, the scientists turned into flesh eating monsters, tearing apart and devouring everything in sight.
The government officials attempted to flee, in helicoptors and in cars, foolishly spreading the virus to the cities.
It spread to little towns and the houses in the country.
It was world wide, no one was safe.
Only 3% of the poulation have managed to survive thus far.
Surving anyway they can, hiding, killing, running.
Only 1% of that population are immune to the virus, but that doesn't stop them from being torn apart.
Supplies are running low, the world is swarming with the creatures and the survivors numbers are dwindling fast.
Who will survive?
Rules.
1. Follow Site rules.
2. No God - Modding, flaming or Bunnying.
3. No cybering, but romance is encouraged, I mean come on, it's nearly the end of the world people.
4. Post your profile onto the profile thread and I will let you know if you are accepted or not. I won't be too picky but please don't be offended if I decline. There will be a certain standard of literacy with this roleplay so it should be reflected in your profile.
5. Literacy please. Which means Italics for thoughts, (()){{}}[[]]// for Ooc, NO ** for actions, in THIRD person and at least 2 paragraphs with immersive description. Writers block is understood but don't take the mick.
6. This is a long term role play, so try and post when you can, and don't disappear without warning.
7. Be creative, include everyone, read all posts and have fun
8. Check back often for updates and rule changes.
9. Do not stumble upon other characters straight away. It just wouldn't happen. Find time to establish your character, the story and the world.
10. The most important rule! This is literate for a reason. I'm sick of over the top, unrealistic writing. Don't jump from roof to roof, don't suddenly have a gun with no explanation to how you found it, and if you don't know how to use a gun, or how to use a tank, or anything like that, say that. This is realistic, I can't express that enough. Imagine yourself, in this situation. Gritty, passionate and dark.
Location.
The story begins in the beautiful New York city.
Of course, half of the buildings have been blown up and are still on fire.
Every now and again, a broken army barracade stands, with supplies and weapons.
The lights still blare out through the night sky, which makes it easier for the dead to find us.
In the day, the zombies don't come out to play.
But the night is a dangerous place for the survivors.
The living have been pushed to the brink of extinction, but the city has become too overrun, so they are forced to move and seek out others in order to survive.
.
Some seek survivors, others live to kill the dead and some are just searching for a cure.
The Zombies.
They are ruthless, unforgiving, vile.
Once someone has been bitten, or are in fact, infected by the air born strain, they die, then reanimate.
But the person they once were are completely gone, not even a hint of humanity.
They are more like animals than humans.
Rabid, hungry, fast.
They run like athletes and have the strength of a body builder, able to tear apart limbs with minimal effort.
Their skin is dulled, grey, rotting, peeling.
Their moans echo into the night, moaning for prey, moaning for followers.
They travel in packs, working together.
However, they cannot climb, or open doors, they only have the basic instincts of survival, mixed with a hint of madness.
They can however move through water, they sink to the bottom and walk, explaining how they managed to spread so far, so quickly.
Once someone is bitten, it can take between seconds and days before they change, depending on how they were infected and if they were bitten on a main artery.
The only way to kill these fiends are by destroying the brain, with any weapon you can find.
Good luck.
