Important events:

First development of N-SC's: In 2018, the first clones were developed. These were non-sentient creatures that were used for simple tasks that were repetitive in nature. They were replaced with sentient clones in 2022, which had nano-tech circuitry inside their brains to control them.

Neuro-gene unlocked: In 2028, the neuro gene was "unlocked." This genetic modification allowed the subject to utilize more of their brain than they would naturally.

GSE's take on disease-like properties: This was the start of the GSE epidemics, which later infected more than 60% of the world's population.

Novorossiysk Incident: When a shipment of sentient clones was transported with a shipment of GSE strain F935E6, the clones became infected, and the first "Zombies" were created.

WWIII starts: When China attacks the USA over a genetic modification argument, the world launches into the third world war. This does not end until 2042, two years after first nuclear launch.

World powers:

The pure ones: A group of vampires who believe that they are the only “pure” creatures, and that all others should be vanquished.

The ancients: Headed by a lich who believes that he is an ancient king reborn, this cult consists of hordes of zombies headed by lich.

Washington, D.C.: The main base of the Liberty Fighters.

No god modding.
-No meta gaming. For example, almost no one in the game world knows about pre-war tech.
-Keep posts about a paragraph in length, not too long or short.

Character creation rules:
-Make a fully detailed character. I'm not going to go into details, but list their age, looks, sex, race, job, ect.
-Keep character within reasonable bounds. I'm not against imaginative characters, but don't go and give your char superpowers without explanation. If, however, you give a good explanation and some good disadvantages to go with it, I might accept the character.
-Don't alter the game lore too much. Its ok to add a few minor events and details, but don't go overboard.

Also, make sure to check the OOC board often as that's where I will be posting updates and such.
