There have always been stories told and stories heard of things which go bump in the night. Once, such things were widely believed in. They were revered, feared and even hunted down. In our modern times, however - the fear of the night has become soaked in neon lights and a new world view. These days, most will tell you that these supernatural stories and creatures can't possibly exist; that logic and nature itself would not allow them to. However, logic and nature do not always agree with the contemporary view held by most of humanity. Whether in the darkness or in the light, humanity is not alone in the world. It never has been. Those stories? They're all true. The creatures spoken on are all still in the world. They live among humans: friends, neighbors, bosses, co-workers, lovers. They're sewn in to every little niche of human society; hiding and watching, pretending to be as average as the next person. Times are beginning to change, however. More and more strange occurrences have been documented all over the world. Most people tend to ignore these things, writing them off as freak accidents or natural disasters. Perhaps it is time to wake up those dreaming peaceful things to the nightmare of reality once more?

Abolition is an Original Character RPG based in fictional West River City, Pennsylvania. This RPG will be focusing on the daily lives of humans and the various supernatural creatures hidden among them. We are looking forward to a diverse and unique cast, as well as to a friendly, creatively fulfilling and character-oriented atmosphere. While we will feature community wide plots from time to time, we welcome our writers to make their character's own fortune and fates in the world presented for them. Abolition will not be for the faint of heart, however. There will be darker themes explored within this community, so we ask that all of our writers are at least 18 years of age.

One year ago a virus called the TR-3A broke out over the world. It hit the elderly and the children especially hard and soon enough the hospitals began to overflow. They were dying one after another faster than medical staffs were able to keep up with. And before anyone knew it, they were rising from their deathbeds and biting giant hunks of flesh out the people around them, spreading the virus around. If a person didn't bleed out, a bite would take 24 hours to fully infect its host and turn them into another zombie.

A town just outside of Seattle called Everett was one of the last holdouts when all hope seemed lost. An evac helicopter run by the US military was assigned to take the last survivors to a presumed safe zone in Canada. Some of the people didn't make it to Everett on time and now they're stuck in the city trying to forge a life out of an apocalypse.

The city has split into two factions. The first is a maximum security prison lead by Faith Lehane and a group of council members. The prison is heavily guarded by a variety of species and many people live safely within its walls. Another faction of survivors banned together in a group of housing projects. They worry less about their safety and more about taking over Everett and turning it into their own apocalyptic playground. These survivors aren't trying to presume their humanity, they're trying to bury it and they'll do anything to take down the heroes living behind the prison walls and farm the humans for their own personal needs.

There is finally a third faction of humanity left. Those few brave souls who live out in the wilderness among the zombies that roam in roves through Northern Washington. They are wild cards each and every one of them but choose to live apart from society for a good reason and are usually therefore feared by the two colonies living in the prison full of heroes and the projects full of villains.

Another group of rogue humans called the Freedom Fighters roam high in the mountains of northern Washington. These heroes remain legends spoken of by the rare individual who meets one of them or hears a radio transmission by them. These nerds of the round table are keeping one network open so that all survivors may communicate across it using their smartphones, tablets and computers. It is the only part of the internet still accessible and only to those lucky enough to have generator power still powering their devices. Survivors can communicate any time they like at zombiesnet.
