This Roleplay is Invite or Ask to Join ONLY .

Overview
In the not too distant future, the world has been turned on its head. An epidemic had struck several 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 large 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 stretched across the land to contain several major cities, including Westopolis, Greenflower City, and several others. As time went on, however, it became apparent that very few places would be spared from the terrible epidemic. Soon, only a handful of cities were left as effective quarentine zones. Many people had to live together in large apartment complexes or skyscrapers that were still standing. Even access to and from other dimensions and zones were completely shut down to prevent the epidemic from spreading.

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. All that could be done for the victims was either to ease their pain before they died, or kill them before the virus did.

Officially, G.U.N is credited with containing the worst biological threat in history. The truth, however, was that 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. Inside the zone, people had to follow strict rules and curfews, working odd jobs in exchange for food and supplies. A few people secretly smuggled in supplies from contacts on the outside in exchange for favors or essentials. Others had banned together into a rebel group to resist G.U.N "oppertunistic tyrany", using violence and gurilla warfare to combat G.U.N. But outside the quarentine zone, things weren't much better.

Many survivors outside the quarentine zone had formed gangs or clans that would prey upon anyone unfortunate enough to come across them. 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 to end the nightmare. A cure? A haven or paradise that was untouched by whatever had consumed the rest of the world? However, for whatever reason, G.U.N has sent troops to various places to hunt down anyone who has escaped. 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.....

Standard Rules:
1) Follow ALL standard SFW rules. This includes no sexual content, be polite to other users, and censor ALL foul language. (This INCLUDES the mild swear words).

2) Absolutely no godmodding, metagaming, or autohitting/autododging. Each of these will result in a warning on the first offense, and a strike for each subsequent offense. Three strikes, and you're out of the roleplay.

3) Do not take control of another user's character unless you have their permission.

4) Try to have fun.

Roleplay Specific Rules:
1) This is a NON-CANON roleplay that takes place approximately 10 years in the future. So, anything that happens in this roleplay will not affect your characters. So, if they die, that doesn't mean you can't use them anywhere else ever again.

2)Only join this Roleplay if you are 100%  sure  that you can make continual edits. Let's also try to avoid edit conflicts when possible. Wait for other users to make their comments unless one of your characters is in a direct conversation with another character.

3) This Roleplay is strictly story format. Also, please try to use proper grammer as best as you can.

4) I do NOT, under any circumstances, want to see anyone deviating from the main plot unless they talk to me about it first. In addition, I don't want to see anyone having their character just spontaneously or convinently having a solution to every problem. For example, if the characters have to travel a great distance, I don't want somebody just teleporting to their destination with all seven chaos emeralds (or whatever). This is part of the reason why most characters will have the power-inhibiting virus.

5) Each user may only use up to two characters unless there is a good reason for having more. If you need more than two, talk to me first. Also, I'm setting a limit for the number of users who can participate. This is to help avoid stalling from inactivity and hopefully deter edit-conflicts or being left behind.

6) LET'S HAVE FUN WITH THIS. Please? For me? :D
