OUTBREAK: ZERO is a semi post-apocalyptic pandemic roleplay set in the fictional city of Lethford, USA. Current season: Winter, 20/21.
March 2020. The world is in pandemonium as one month ago, GHNv-20 was confirmed, five months after the beginning of norovirus season. The number of the infected are in the higher hundred thousands, and the death toll is at an estimated 250,000, with about seventy percent of the rest of the population experiencing mild to moderate illnesses connected to the S. pyogenes bacteria.
The fear of the unknown has caused mass hysteria and panic.
In an attempt to provide a semblance of safety and control, military personnel patrol the streets, even here in Lethford City, and the police force is trying to keep up with the rising street violence, assault, and theft.
Welcome to OUTBREAK: zero. Will you survive?

█ NAME KANE DANIEL SHELBY █ ALIAS N/A IF NONE █ SEXUALITY HETEROSEXUAL █ MEMBERGROUP MILITARY █ HEALTH STATUS NOT INFECTED
PERSONALITY
Kane is one of the good guys. Literally. He's generally a nice guy. It takes a lot to make him angry, but once he gets to that point he wouldn't argue or talk crap, he'd just punch you in the face and end the annoyance right there. Unless of course you were female. He has a very strong gentleman side to him. While life in the military has altered that side of himself a bit, having taken a solid month of one of his best friends on his SEAL team to inflict some sort of pain on him when he called her ma'am or opened a door for her, it's been dampened, but it's still there. He tends to be the first to jump at volunteering for missions, especially if it's someone that needs rescuing, whether male or female. He's a sucker for a damsel in distress. As much of a gentleman as he is, he doesn't trust a lot of people. He also tends to not let people get close. He lives his life like a soldier and doesn't have a life outside of the military. He has a strong patriotic side to him, loyal to the end. He very much takes the vow he made to protect and defend to heart.
BIOGRAPHY
Kane was born to somewhat older parents. His dad had been in the military, serving as a regular "grunt" until he was 30, when he met Kane's mom who was also in the military as a defense strategist. The two got married and once her service was up, she too left the military. She got pregnant with Kane after a few rounds of in vitro. Kane was born and by the time he graduated high school his parents were 50. There wasn't a huge amount of things they shared interests in, but one thing remained of course. His parents instilled a sense of duty and a love for the armed forces early on and once Kane graduated he enlisted right away.
He found basic training easy and He was promoted through the ranks year after year until he landed in the specialty department of the Seals. He excelled at the training. He loved the challenges that were thrown at him. He loved being able to complete a task that others thought was impossible. He didn't mind the life that it forced him to have because he never found anything worth leaving it for. There has never been anything else in his life that makes him as fulfilled and happy as his career does. He's signed on tour after tour again, coming home and visiting his parents as much as he can.
When the virus turned into a pandemic he got orders to head to the city. He's currently undercover and assuming the role of a policeman from another district, there to "help out the local force". He's currently following orders, playing the role of just being an ordinary policemen, free to move about the city and gain contacts as he chooses while he waits for word.
