This thread is a work in progress. Please do not post yet.
2053.
Everything you have ever known has withered away into nothing. The entire planet has been wrecked with disease, famine, death; there is no possible way of it ever recovering, not in your lifetime. You hope that there are survivors out there. A part of you doesn't - everything and everyone has turned against you. No-one trusts anything. You were taught for a good portion of your life not to trust, and not to feel curiosity. To be numb and blind to the terrors around you. Where to hide, and where to stay. Never to go anywhere except "home." Unfortunately, your little corner of the world is being slowly torn apart by infection and corruption.
At least you had gotten through the beginning of it.
Now, here comes the worst part.
---
Welcome! This is a post-apocalyptic roleplay where you take on a role of an animal in a large city/urban area destroyed by the Infection. Please read the entire thread to understand it fully.
IMPORTANT! If you cannot download maps, presets, items or marking packs, this is not the roleplay for you.
-?- Rules -?-1. All 'literacy' levels are accepted! We are here to enhance your role-playing skills, and will not focus on silly mistakes. However, please keep one-liners to a minimum, and do not write a novel! Refrain from using chatspeak as well.
2. God-modding, power-playing and mary-suing/gary-suing are behaviors that are often looked down upon and make roleplay unfair for others. Please refrain from doing this; you will be told if you are doing so, and asked to stop doing it.
4. Please make your character look realistic. This means no rainbow-colored or neon-colored animals.
4. Absolutely NO cyber-bullying, racist slurs, sexist slurs, swears, and descriptive mating. Please keep this roleplay kid-friendly.
5. Fun is a must!
6. IMPORTANT! Official roleplay days are Friday & Saturday, 3pm est/edt. Here is a timezone converter (http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/).
7. IMPORTANT! Other roleplays may be held at different times! However, if I am not there, they must be recorded in order to be added to the plot/recent. If you have a recorded roleplay (copy-pasted onto a document, using notepad or microsoft word) please post with it as an added attachment. If you do not submit them, they will go ignored!
8. If your character is infected, they do not get special powers! Unlike other infections, this one does not grant your character anything positive; they don't have super-speed, eagle-eyes, etc. Infact your character WILL SLOWLY DIE!
9. Please ask for permission from me for your character to be infected. If it is okay with both the infecter and infectee, go right ahead!
10. No more than 2 characters per player. If one of them has died, you are more than welcome to make another.
11. We do understand that there may or may not have been a zoo in the city. However, you may not play as a lion/wolf/bear WITHOUT PERMISSION. A limited number of wolfdogs are accepted. Please stick to domesticated animals; cats, dogs, etc.

OFFICIAL MAP (#post_) - WIP!
-?- The Infection -?-This disease is like no other. When your character has been infected, it will not be noticeable for a few days at the most and a few minutes at the least. It will begin with a weak mental breakdown; insomnia, paranoia, and hallucinations. Over the course of time it will brood in your character's body, causing symptoms of the flu, common cold, pneumonia, stroke, and seizure, eventually rotting their organs to the point of death. It is shown through boils/blisters in the fur or skin, frothing at the mouth, and bloodshot eyes. If an infected is wounded, a frothy, thick, green substance will leak out (along with their blood). There is no known cure, and there is no way to escape it.
Symptoms usually last for about 15 days but some have lasted for up to 3 months.
There are three main to contract the infection. There are many more.
.1 Close contact with the infected
2. An infected has wounded a non-infected
3. Non-infected has drank from/eaten polluted substances
When an infected dies, they stay dead.
When a non-infected dies, they also stay dead.
-?- Operation Pharmacon -?-Operation Pharmacon was the human's failed attempt at keeping the infection at bay. Pharmacon means poisonous medicine; scientists had started to develop a 'medicine' that cured the infected, but had unwillingly killed them at the same time. Unfortunately the humans had died out in the area before it was further developed, and now some of the animals in the city have taken over the operation and modified it so it could work as a functioning clan.
All in all, this is the roleplays 'main' group.
Laws of the Clan
1. Never doubt your leaders decisions.
2. Work is to be done without question nor complaining.
3. Curfew is 9pm (sunset). Any members of the clan found wandering past curfew will be punished.
4. Stay indoors at night.
5. Treason, betrayal, dishonesty, murder, and deception are acts that will lead to banishment or death.
6. Respect those above you.
7. Infected will be killed upon sight and will not be taken in.

Medic. One who knows various medical practices and procedures. Self-explanatory.
