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?

Dean was expected his little sister to show up at any moment. He had invited her over for dinner. It had been almost two weeks since he'd seen her and he felt bad that it had been so long. He, of course, had been busy with work, like always. He had meant to actually make dinner but was running late and had ended up just grabbing some takeout on the way home. He laid everything out on the table. Fried Rice, Lo Mein, dumplings, and several rolls of sushi.
The kids, Milo and Olivia, were currently chasing each other around the house with toy lightsabers that were far to loud of Dean's preference as they made electronic sounds each time they connected, perfectly matching the proper sound of the blade from the movies. Milo was acting the part of Luke Skywalker with his green blade while Olivia was Darth Vader with a red one. "Luke! I AM your father," she said in her little six year old voice, complete with the wheezing breath of the Sith Lord. "Noooooo!!!" Milo replied, falling to his knees is faux despair.
Brynlee had not seen her brother in far too long. And by that, she meant two weeks of her life. Things had been absolutely chaotic after the hospital break in and then, even though she had seen him since, it was still something they hadn't fully dove into. She was okay, and that was all she really wanted to share about it. Yet there was truly so much more to that then just 'she survived'. But eventually, she would talk to him about it. About what happened and how a certain... cop saved her rear end.
So when she pulled up in her truck, she hoped out with a smile. Her bright red hair fanning over her shoulder as she jogged up the steps to the door and didn't bother knocking. It wasn't her style. Not with Dean or her parents. She just let herself in. Right into a dramatic scene from Star Wars. She smiled brightly on her freckled face. "Darth Olivia-r... I pictured you more as a sister figure." She teased, moving to scoop the two into her arms. "And how are my little monsters?! Dean!" She hollered into the house so he'd know she was there.
Both children started to jump up and down as Brynlee entered, both scrambling towards her wrap her up in an excited hug. "Aunt Brynlee! Aunt Brynlee! You're HERE!!!" The both started to try and talk over each other in order to be heard by their favorite aunt. "I lost a tooth yesterday!" Olivia tried to hold her attention. "I got 100% on my spelling test!" Milo said, talking over her and putting his arm in front of his sister's face to push her out of the way. "Milo! STOP!" Olivia shouted before biting down on the offending arm. Milo screamed and the two started wrestling.
Dean hurried into the room and pried the two apart. "They are exactly that, monsters," he said to his sister over the sound of yelling.
"DAD! Olivia bit me!" Milo tattled. "Olivia, we talked about this. We don't bite," Dean told his daughter while the two continued to struggle in his arms, trying to get at each other. "But he was pushing me while I was talking to Auntie!" Olivia retorted. "I understand you were frustrated but biting is never okay. And Milo, you should be more nice to your sister." Dean tossed Brynlee a pleading 'help me' look.
