A nanosecond computer error in a U.S. Defense Department laboratory results in the accidental release of Project Blue, a bio-engineered superflu virus with 99.4% communicability and a 99.4% mortality rate. First comes the fever, then the cough, then trouble breathing as the neck and face swells and turns black. Death occurs within three days of exposure to the contagion. It takes only 19 days for the virus, dubbed 'Captain Trips' by the media, to spread and wipe out almost all of humanity. Panic, martial law and anarchy sweep the world in its wake. Between June 16 and July 4, the world succumbs to a modern-day Black Plague. The stench of death and putrefaction is everywhere: rotting corpses litter the streets and almost every home. Roads and tunnels are flanked with vehicles that serve as coffins for millions who die while trying to flee the cities and their hometowns. Glass and debris are strewn across footpaths and roads from looters and panicked people trying to stock up on survival essentials. Only 0.6% of the population survives Captain Trips. You are one of the survivors. You don't know how you managed to remain immune to the virus and you don't know why. The hows and whys aren't important; what is important is finding other potential survivors. You begin trekking across the country in search of others. You see many horrors along the way, most of which you've become impervious to after all the horrors you've witnessed in the wake of Captain Trips. Eventually you start coming across crude handmade signs that tell you to go to Boulder, Colorado. Your gut tells you to follow those signs and your gut is right: after several weeks of travelling, you arrive in Boulder, exhausted, sunburnt, dehydrated, and discover a small community of survivors. The first of the survivors arrived in Boulder on July 24, 2012, almost six weeks after Captain Trips was exposed to the world. They, too, have travelled from far and wide in search of others, and have banded together to form a new democratic society known as The Free Zone. It's here that humanity must rebuild.

[16 Nov 2012|05:41pm] Fairybrooke MODS • RPG • OOC The curse is broken...or is it? Main Taken Holds Rules & FAQs Application Player Directory Contact the Mods Some would say the curse being broken was a miracle and some would say it’s a curse, but what if there was no change at all or what if it changed your world completely. What if your friends couldn’t remember you or only remember the part of you that existed 28 years ago? This is what has happened in Storybrooke, when the purple smoke came flooding into town it instantly put everyone to sleep (some say the smoke even engulfed Fairytale Land). When everyone woke up they were in Storybrooke. Some remembered the town as well as their past lives and some just remembered their life in the Fairytale Land as if their life in Storybrooke never happened. Lastly, some found themselves in Storybrooke with no recollection of how they got there in the first place. *** This is a Once Upon a Time game with a bit of a twist. We want this game to be a fun and laid back place to play. Come and join us and have some fun in this great little world! Game opens on November 24th or at 15+ applications. post comment
