Contagion X: A Struggle of the Mind

Postby XanderFrost » Wed Aug 03, 2016 4:34 pm

X-XX-3XXX
"To ...se of you wh... ...ave seen the wa... the virus spr...s, I do not env... ...ou."
("To those of you who have seen the way the virus spreads, I do not envy you.")

On the XXth day of the Xth month of 3XXX, the Bio-War began. The original idea was to create peace by threat and solve hunger through peace. Noble sentiments. When two countries decided to stop the same criminally insane warlord on the same day, at the same time, all hell broke loose. The gasses mixed, the virus was created, and the world was doomed. With humanity's numbers dwindling, the virus adapted, allowing animal transmission. Nobody can stop it. Only try to outlive it. Through the virus, everything mutated. Only the clean were safe from mutation, and only the rich were clean.


This game has a six player maximum.

Hmm, sounds like a cool idea. Makes me think a bit of Flexible Survival.

Yeah, I actually created the Intro on the fly, though I have everything else planned.

Name: Jenny Schulz
Age: 24
Occupation: Bar Waitress
Occupation Level: 1
Bio: Jenny was always a friendly girl finding it easy to make friends. When she was younger her parents pressured her to go to college. Turned out to be little more than a waste of money. During it though she tried many jobs until a friend told her one of the local bars was hiring. She fell in love with it. Getting to talk to all kinds of people and make them feel welcome was right up her alley. Sure she had to deal with someone occasionally getting too drunk and causing trouble, but those are the minority and exactly why they have bouncers.

Quick questions about this game. Would it be starting pre or post outbreak? Is it something that would take time to reach this group (think Plague Inc.), or a sudden firestorm of bad shit happening?
Sometimes I think i'm crazy, but then my other voice says i'm alright.

I'm not sure if i'm just too creative, or just cant focus on one thing.

Name: Katyusha Pravda
Age: 26
Occupation: Private Security Contractor
Occupation Level: 1

Bio:
Katyusha was raised in a family dedicated to the state with a long tradition of service. Enlisting at the age of 18 she served diligently but quickly became disillusioned with the ideals she had been raised with, seeing greed and corruption everywhere she looked. Her enlistment ran out shortly after the first signs of the outbreak and Katyusha decided to put herself first for once. She saw no reason to waist her life guarding some refugee camp that would be overrun with the virus eventually and left.

Katyusha realised her best chance of survival was to attach herself to the rich and powerful parasites that ran things, and with the world falling into chaos they would need extra security which came at a premium.

I'd like to book a slot for this! I'd put up a character thing now but my creativity has left me tonight.
Hell, I might end up going to a maid like suggested, lol.

Name: Andrew Michols (Hates being called 'Andy' or 'Mike')
Age: 23
Occupation: Line cook
Occupation Level: 1
Bio: Andrew did not know what he wanted to do for most of his life, so he spent it just going through the motions. Therefore, he didn't really put too much effort into anything...except getting into the pants of cute girls, but jobs in that field are tight (pun intended). He skimmed his way through high school, and it wasn't until he got to college that he discovered he was actually good at something: cooking. After this discovery, he dropped out of his standard college to go to culinary school, where he excelled. After graduating, he quickly got hired at one of the better 4-star restaurants...That is, until the outbreak occurred. Now, he just tries to find good food to eat, and people who will pay him to cook it.

Name: Celica Lowe
Age: 31
Occupation: Baker
Occupation Level: 1
Bio: The Lowe family have been running their bakery for generations. About three, in fact. Celica's parents expected their children to stay and help run the place, rather than hire others and make it more than a family run store. However, her brothers and sisters found their callings elsewhere, all but abandoning the store for their own futures. Celica, on the other hand, took to baking and cooking like a duck to water. But as she grew older she went against her parent's wishes and opened the store's hiring to more people. It was a little too old fashioned to not, in her opinion. She wanted to teach others what her parents taught her too.
The new employees were going pretty good. Then the outbreak hit...

I'm unsure, is there a spare slot? I'd like to make a sheet if there is.
