Board Thread:Fan Projects/@comment-5142578-20140126215731

I guess the fan projects board is an ideal place to put up my latest Roleplay idea. So, here goes...

In the not too distant future, the world has been turned on its head. An epidemic had struck five years earlier, causing all sorts of horrible affects to those infected. Some merely developed terrible symptoms to the disease and died painfully. Others, primarily those with special powers, would find themselves stuck with less serious symptoms, but their powers would be weakened, if not completely gone. And others had it the worst; being transformed into mindless beasts on a ravenous rampage, attacking any and all that were too close. Starting in Station Square, the disease spread across the land at an alarming rate, even as the residents of the doomed city left in a mass exodus. Since then, Station Square has been Ground Zero for the epidemic.

In a feeble attempt to contain the biological threat, G.U.N had organized a quarentine around a massive chunk of Mobius, and locked down all access in and out of the area. Perhaps the largest organized quarentine in Mobian history, the quarentine's perimeter was hundreds of miles, effectively containing all major cities including Station Square, Greenflower City, and Westopolis. In addition, it even contained parts of the Norther Desert, the entire coast line along the eastern side of the continent, and a great distance to the west. Even access to and from other dimensions and zones were completely shut down.

But, the problem didn't end there. No, far from it. Despite the fact G.U.N put most of its resources into enforcing the quarentine, its attempts to provide food, medicine, and other essentials to those trapped inside the quarentine were lax at best. You see, Abraham Tower, former commander-and-cheif of G.U.N had died around the time the epidemic began. Autopsy seemed to confirm that the late G.U.N leader had fallen prey to the epidemic, but rumors floated around that foul play was involved. However, G.U.N's new commander-in-cheif quickly assumed control and organized the quarentine with amazing speed and effectiveness. Despite the effeciveness of the quarentine, scientists had yet to come up with a viable cure for the epidemic.

To the world outside the quarentine, he was credited with containing the worst biological threat in history. Inside the quarentine, however, many either feared or hated G.U.N., seeing first hand that they were barely surviving. And anyone caught trying to make it out were immediately gunned down by G.U.N commandos. Gangs and anarchy had started to appear within the quarentine zone. Each gang sought to take control for themselves, forcing everyone around them to "contribute" to their cause. Sometimes the gangs would forcibly recruit young members into their gangs, while other times they would take whatever little posessions the people had left. These gangs would also fight against each other, trying to gain more territory.

Other people were loners, either sticking to themselves or whatever family they had left. With the rise of gangs and other dangerous characters, many had become paranoid, stocking up on whatever essential materials they could gather. Anyone outside of their family and friends were a potential threat. Money had very little meaning now. Medicine, food, ammunition, clothings. These were the things of value. And just like money, moral character had started to become a liability. Those who tried to help others were often turned on by the very people they tried to help, or killed by the gangs themselves.

However, just as things look bleak, rumor spreads of a possible solution. A way out of the quarentine. Maybe even a cure. However, for whatever reason, G.U.N is called into action to deal with the possiblity of an uprising. Now, those who try to journey across the continent for this possiblity of hope will be put to the test. They'll have to survive the various gangs, the harsh wilderness, and even each other in hopes of finding this promised salvation. Will anyone succeed, or will they fail? Why is G.U.N trying to stop this attempt? What caused the epidemic in the first place. All of these are questions that wil be answered in time.....

Okay, *phew* that was a lot to type. Okay, so I'm open to any suggestions to improve this roleplay idea. What elements could be added, what should be taken out, etc. etc. As far as rules go, they will mostly be the same as the wiki's policy rules. However, there are a few rules that are worth mentioning.

1) This Roleplay is non canon, and takes place five years into the future of the current date.

That's right. This is a non-canon future roleplay. So, you don't have to worry if your characters are killed or infected. None of this is real.

2) Only up to ten users in this Rp, and no more than two users per character.

3) Only ask to join if you are absolutely SURE you can make regular edits to the RP.

These rules are to prevent too many participants from entering the RP. I've seen to many times where an RP stalled due to one person's absence. Okay, I think that's it. If you have comments, suggestions, or anything else to contribute to this, please leave your comments below!
