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?

Hello Hello. This is a weird request so follow along as well as you can. We have __________ feel free to name him. NAME: up to you PLAYBY: I love Matthew Daddario because I mean..look at the Gifs already, but Stephen Amell would be great too. AGE: 24 WHEREABOUTS: Generally up to you when it comes to what happens after high school. BACKSTORY: The only thing that is a must, is that this guy and Adelaide dated all through high school, 4 years. They were engaged. During their senior year she found out he was cheating on her with her best friend. They obviously ended things and she hasn't heard from him since.
In this time this guy (your choice of futures/backstory here)
A. Has a baby sister who is now infected
B. Has to provide for his family, maybe he has younger siblings and his parents died and realizes this is a way to make some good cash
C. Is infected himself
So this guy hears word about an antidote being made and given out in highly restricted conditions and realizes that his past fiance can more than likely get her hands on some. SO this guy finds her and tries to get back with her, basically trying to charm her back into dating him again or at the very least getting close enough to get an antidote. He's got to be really, really charming. This is not an easy mission here folks, she's going to want to shoot him. So he's basically just trying to get back into her good graces/her to fall in love with him. Whether he genuinely cares about her or not is totally up to you. Maybe he's changed? I dunno. Your call.
MEANWHILE. This guy is kind of in a 'nothing left to lose' situation so he's either:
A. Tracking down anyone he can, using possibly violent means of finding information relating to the virus antidote.
B. Breaking in/robbing places to get cash to send back home, also picking up some violent tricks at getting people to tell him how he can get his hands on the antidote.
C. Basically all of the above. Breaking into places to get cash to go to the doctor's, using violent methods to get people to talk.
So then you have Demetri. Local detective. Sees through this guy's BS and is slowly putting together who exactly is behind all of these break-ins/robberies/attacks/murders, whatever have you. Depending on how all of this plays out maybe this guy wants to frame Adelaide or maybe he truly loves her and just wants her help, steals her RX pad, detective is involved, I don't know. So we've potentially got a pretty cool love triangle-ish thing with lots of threading and scheming and plotting. So if you've followed along and you're interested let me know.
