Background Story


             The year was 2025 and a new strain the (Virus) had entered the general population. With short notice of the rapidly spreading strain, there was mass panic in societies around the world. Those who were fortunate enough to be born into wealth had been able to escape the virus via a nuclear powered ship dubbed “New Beginning.” The ship however was lacking one important thing, and that being the inability to sustain life for as long as the virus had been around. If you were the unfortunate many who were not born into wealth then you were taught to survive.

             Colonies were being born out of the ashes of towns and commerce centers. These colonies would be the safe haven for the people who were the less fortunate. The colonies thrived by using the skills that each individual had. They would farm, gather, fish and best of all kill “zombies.”  Some colonies would become the major posts for major areas, such as “Door Hill” named after founder: Franklin “Franky” Door. Door Hill was the first colony to make its name known throughout North America in 2034.
             Professions and skills were past down from generation to generation. Normally you would be born into a colony were the majority of the public were in the same profession or skill as you. When you have become proficient in your skill you could leave the confines of the colony. The major skills and professions you would see was weapons specialist, Medical specialist and mechanic. These skills were the staple of living in the apocalyptic state that they did.
Weapons Specialist- These men and women were skilled in using any weapon known  to man and zombies. They had little skill in medical treatment or how an engine works, but they do know how to kick some (explicit).
Medical Specialist- These men and women know the ins and outs of a body. Most survivors say they are comparable to the workings of one Dr.Frankenstein. They are proficient in small arms weaponry and of course there favorite, the bat.
Mechanics- You give them a broken car and a set of wrenches, and you just got yourself a brand “new” car. Sure the suspension is shot, but look on the bright side, at least you have a getaway car.

The Time is now 2053, and we have a lot of things to do.
