Previously on Zero Hour...

A mercenary officer (Craig), a marine(Brian), a KFC employee(Nikki) and a doctor(Rhae) have found each other among the desolation of society, caused by an ancient and deadly virus with no name and no cure.

During their first joint encounter with the zombie masses now roaming the developed world, Craig put his foot through a sunroof causing him to drop his rife which went off, killing Nikki.

Soon after the remaining survivors had escaped, they found a College student(Jordan), who knew Craig, and Brian's Girlfriend Laken(also played by Brian). After hatching a plan to escape the town of Meiser, in which Craig would acquire a helicopter while the rest of the survivors gathered supplies for the journey north, the survivors went their separate ways. Rhae, trapped in the shop by gathering zombies, fought her way free, only to be bitten. Craig, seeing her limp and knowing what had happened, shot her and took the supplies.


Man I must be an asshole... Killing off two people in the space of like a day.

Bio
Player application:
Name -
Age -
Blood type -
Sex -
Ethnicity -
Occupation -
Nationality -
Appearance -

First week - (this is the area where you explain how you came to be where you are and the weapons and such you will have)

Outbreak
A new year had dawned on the world, people the world over gathered in their thousands to celebrate. I the northern hemisphere the temperature had plummeted, and so many people had weakened immune systems, this proved to be the downfall of society as we know it.
As the world celebrated the new year, scientists in Iceland shipped out samples of a strange new parasitic virus found deep in the Earth's crust, to labs around the world for study. As the samples were opened, unbeknownst to the scientists, the virus became active. Some of these scientists then left to join the festivities, and in doing so spreading the virus.
Those with the weakest immune systems fell to the virus first, within 3 hours, 1.6 million people had contracted the virus, the signs of which wouldn't show for another 2 days as the virus adapted to the human physiology

Setting
You are one of the lucky, or unlucky, few to have survived the outbreak, either your immune system was strong, you didn't attend one of the celebrations and don't live with anyone who did or you are one the extremely rare people to have AB+ blood type. If so, watch your ass out there, and keep plenty of first aid packs nearby.

Blood Types

AB+ Congratulations you're among the rare few to be completely immune to the virus, but watch out, you are also more likely to be injured.

O+/- Well done, you're completely average, this is the most common blood type in the world, you can contract the virus from a bite or getting infected blood on an open wound. You can survive a drop of 12 feet without breaking anything if you land properly, although it'll hurt like a bitch.

A Your a tough one to break, you are much more hardy than anyone else, but can catch the virus much more easily. I mean you must be a quick one to have survived the outbreak. Whereas O+/- has to have a substantial wound to contract the virus, you can catch it from something as small as a paper cut.

Notes
- Ingestion of zombie blood or flesh is fatal. 1 hour after ingestion you will loose motor control*, after 3 hours you will die. However you will not turn, blood flow for 5 hours is necessary for the virus to take hold, then another hour on top of that for you to get back up as one of the undead.

- Your out there trying to survive, don't weigh yourself down with too many weapons. I understand the need for versatility so I'll say a run around set-up of two main weapons, a secondary and a melee weapon. I recommend a long range rifle or carbine, a close range shotgun or automatic pistol (Uzi) for large groups or confined urban spaces, a normal pistol, powerful enough to minimize ammo to kill ratio but without a large kickback and finally a machete is recommended as a melee weapon as it is designed to hack through thick undergrowth, remember zombies are soft due to slight decomp.


*Psst! Before you go all vegetable try using your gag reflex!

Name – Catherine Marquez
Age – 16
Blood type – AB Negative
Sex – Female
Ethnicity – Latino
Occupation – Drug Dealer
Nationality – American
Appearance -
Catherine stands at 4' 11 1/2" and weighs about 120 lbs. She has a very lithe, athletic build that accentuates her talents at free-running. Her rather large eyes are a bright blue and are rimmed with dark lines from insomnia. Her full lips usually seem to be set in a pout, however this is just from their shape. Her hair is black and borders her face, parted down the middle and extending a little below her chin. However, in the back its swept into a slender braid that extends down to her knees. She has medium olive skin and upon her right arm she has black tribal patterns tattooed. Cat wears long black pants and a hooded jacket over a tight fitting black tee. She usually has a pair of black running shoes with white checkered soles and shoelaces. Around her waist is a loose black and white pyramid studded belt. If you ever get a look at her back, there is a elegant fairy-wings pattern tattooed in reds, oranges and blacks.


First week –
Right before this she was arrested in a drug deal gone bad, so she was admitted into the local prison. It was soon that the outbreak occurred, but of course they were not going to release prisoners. Instead, they were mostly left to rot alone, though a few devout security guards remained, though several became infected. She was left in her cell, though an infected guard soon found himself hungry and tried to get at her through her cell's bars. She managed to stab him through the head with a shank she had managed to procure from him a Beretta 92F and two full 15 round magazines. She figures she will need to leave soon else she will die of starvation.
