The disease, Rylonian Fever, took the world by storm. The Fever itself decimated the population, killing an estimated 6.1 billion. But it was the civil disorder and massive wars and famine that brought the population to 300 million, similar to that during the fall of the Roman Empire. The advanced governments set up quarantine zones across their borders, where individuals were screened for signs of the parasite. The United Nations planned to do so with less fortunate developing countries, but it just happened too fast. Within eleven years the fever had literally circumvented the world and done it's worst damage, yet pockets still exist.
It started in Monterey, California, but it has an unknown origin other than that. California was the worst hit in all of North America, with it's high population and tech based economy. But that does not mean that anywhere else wasn't affected. For a few years government broadcasts were on nearly every radio station. But that soon ended. Now, nearly nineteen years after it was first detected in late 2014, the "zones" are falling, with similar rebellions of the populace occurring the world over. How will man survive these Dark Ages?

This is Reatra here and welcome to the OOC of my new RolePlay, The End.
THIS IS NOT A ZOMBIE RP
Now, you may be able to tell the idea of this RP even if you didn't read that awesome little story up there. This is supposed to be an "after the end" RP.
You start somewhere in the continental US. I know all you not from the US are a little annoyed, but on the forum that I used to RP on I did this with anyone can be anywhere. But that didn't work because I didn't have enough people to have them spread out around the world but still be in contact with each other. But the majority of players will be from the US, and will likely start in urban areas, then other people will join those areas and then people can be all happy talking to each other. Or shooting.
RULES: Read them...
I. I AM THE GOD OF THIS RP. I am a fair person but if I say no first thing, just don't argue. Same with co-ops.
II. No godmodding
III. No flaming
IV. No cheating in any other way
V. This is about surviving, not as much killing things. Still, that's going to happen though
VI. Have fun! This also means allow others to have fun. Don't be like, "Hey I have an RPG from this military base that for some reason the OP's were okay with and there's a player that just started fifteen feet infront of me. BOOOOOOM!!!"
