Well this is another RPG idea I've had kicking around for awhile to add something other then a sci fi RPG. I decided to post it because after watching a zombie movie marathon I finally wrote up a story line.
It all started in a research facility in Minnesota, the researchers where trying to find a way to reduce the aging process. They where attempting to alter the genetic code to stop the body from producing the enzymes which the suspected where the cause of many of the symptoms of old age.
They did much more then they expected.
After finding a genetic alteration which they thought would work they created a viral carrier for it and infected monkeys with the virus. They weren't expecting signs of success fro years, and as such shipped the monkeys to a holding facility in New York city. Three days after the monkeys where infected they began to act strangely battering themselves against the cages to the point of death. Worried an intern used a sedative on one of the monkeys and puled it out of the cage.
The intern ran a quick medical check on the monkey including taking a sample of blood, he then put the monkey back in its container and reached for the medical equipment. He accidentally pricked himself with the needle muttered a curse and put it in the biohazard container
He gave the blood and diagnostics to one of the researchers and headed home with a painful headache. the next morning he came into work once again but only to pick up his supplies, he was going to take a few more days of leave because his headache was getting worse and worse.
while he was getting a few items from his locker he passed out.
When he was found a few hours later he was awoken by a few people standing over him asking him how he was... only two got away from the room alive... both of them infected. the virus continued to be passed from person to person, before it could be contained a man infected with it got overseas.
three weeks have passed since the initial out break and the world has changed. almost 7/8ths of the worlds population has died and the majority of whats left are infected. A few have survived however taking a treatment that prevents that kills the carrier virus. However the treatment doesn't effect the actual genetic code meaning if the virus has already managed to affect a person they are unsaveable.
The treatment is easily created, but only a few know how to create it. The only place which has created the treatment is a military base which was set up out side of New York city. This base is one of the few havens world wide, and is the starting place of our story...
The first posts will acquaint everyone and show everyone the setting. After which a disaster (you'll see later) will strike the base and the characters will be forced out into the infected world to attempt to make there way to another haven.
The characters can be of any nationality and back ground as long as you can give a reason as to which the ended up at the military base. Characters which come in after the base is destroyed will be survivors, that have boarded up somewhere.

He has managed to avoid almost every fight or disaster in his life, never being put up to the test until the outbreak. He is just starting to show his true mettle. he was in New York on vacation with his family when the disaster struck, they where stuck in a quarantine zone for a week until his father was infected and he was forced to flee eventually running into a military convoy. They took him with them, keeping him locked in a storage container, until he was brought to the military base and was tested for the virus.

He was quickly made a sergeant and served on multiple tours. at 27 he graduate officers school with the rank of second lieutenant. he was then station in New York city, and was there at the start of the out break.
Plus bots for the other people in the base
