Epidemic Open

The infected have the world, we want it back.

Introduction

The airborne RMV (Rapid Mutatious Virus) first struck the world on August 15th, 2011. By the end of the week 36% of the earth's population had been infected. By the end of the year 93%.
It has been six months since the initial outbreak. Of the 7% of the population remaining as humans almost 4% have the virus, but have adapted to it. These 'adepts' can utilize the mutatious powers of the virus for their own benefits. For example: to defend themselves against the ever powerful hoards of violent mutants roaming the streets.
You are one of these few survivors, just trying to survive your own apocalypse day by day.

Rules

- No god-modding (Obviously)

- Keep your posts at least semi-literate.

- No cybering. You can have relationships between characters, but we don't need to know all the hairy details.

- Each character can only utilize one type of mutation; like skin hardening, growing claws, regeneration, tentacles. Biological based powers, y'know. (List it in your equipment)

"DOC!! Hurry up over there! We can't hold them much longer!" A man called to Killy. It was Teddy wasn't it... He couldn't turn to check, he was buried in the database of the laboratory. More gunfire. He didn't have enough time to find what the was looking for. He looked around. Lying on a nearby table was a memory stick. 'How convenient!' He thought to himself as he snatched it up. There was a crunch behind him, then a scream. He stuck the memory stick into the computer, hit download, then whipped around. Sarah was lying on the ground with a creature munching on her jugular. The thing had a elongated jaw, dark beady eyes, and walked on all fours. To think it had once been a human...
Another creature was pounding Teddy into the ground, this one appeared to be a grotesque walking mass of muscle. Killy didn't feel bad, they knew the risks when they tagged along with him.
The download was complete. Killy grabbed the memory stick and slipped it into his pocket, then transformed his hands into claws. The large mutant had lost interest in mashing Teddy and was now lumbering towards Killy. It swung at him, but it was too slow Killy had dodged around it and was darting towards the door. The smaller mutant moved away from it's meal to block Killy's path, but it was not match for Killy's claws. He decapitated it without even breaking stride. He had memorized the layout of underground the facility as they had descended into it, so he had no trouble finding his way out except from dodging around a couple mutants. Finally he burst into sunlight.
"Now to find a working computer." He muttered grimly, as he strode towards London's post-apocalyptic skyline.

OOC: This is nearby. And excuse me, I'm adjusting to this format of RPing. 8D

BIC: Gun shells falling from the gun in her hand, she sped down the road in her stolen silver Chevy Silverado. What a mess, she thought as she swung open her door, decapitating a deformed being just below her left arm. She was bleeding badly from an open wound on her right arm, just below the shoulder. Damn, this hurts, she thought more and more, as it had not been taken care of for three days. It was still bleeding, but not as fast, right through the cloth she had tied around it.

The sound of gunshots echoed through the streets. Listening closer Killy could also hear a motor.
"A working car? That could be useful..." Killy thought aloud, "Where is the sound coming from? North-east? No, more like north-north-east... Oh well, better head off then."
He turned in the direction he believed the sound was coming from and started off at a casual stroll.

Her eyes widen as she comes up over a slight hill, seeing a man in the middle of the streets. She slams on her brakes, ignoring the screech. She opens her door and stands, leaning out the doorway. Hiding the gun in the right hand below the sterring wheel, she stares at him, wondering if he's infected or not, trying to decide by his appearance.

"Hey ya! I was just walking thought the neighborhood when I heard your car, and I wondered if I could hitch a lift with you. I'm Killy, I..." He trailed off. The girl in the car was eyeing him suspiciously.
"It's ok I'm not infected! Well not so much so... But I'm not crazy like those other things! I can even do a little dance to prove it!" He proceded to do a little jig, but tripped over his own feet and stumbled forewards.

She continued to stare. "...You can get in, but dont expect me to trust you. I have ammo." She showed him the gun before getting back in the car and sitting.

OOC: I'm going to change her outfit, alright? Check my character post in a few minutes.

Killy thanked her and climbed into the car. He turned examined the girl more closely as she hit the gas. She was quite the looker, even in blood stained clothes. He noticed the katana slung across her back.
"Nice sword." He said. No responce. There was an awkward silence. "Well... Then.. Do you know anywhere where there's working electronics?"

(ooc: Ok, cool. Also, just to clear up, is your character just a nomal person?[With mad karate skills...])

BIC: "I havn't stopped." She replied. "My main goal was to survive... I actually thought I was the only one left." Wiping a bit of blood from beneath her eyes, she glances at him before looking back at the road. "Why, if I may ask?"

OOC: Well...I am crazed about shape-shifters, the kind that can turn into ANY animal.. Is it possible to fit that in? Obviously if it's okay with you...:P

"Nothing much. I just found a bit of data on the RMV. I haven't sifted through it all to see if it's useful yet. That's all." Killy replyed, "But if you don't know anywere there's no point loseing sleep over- Take a left here, I know a safe-house just a few streets down... Where was I? Oh well... No point loseing sleep over it..."

(ooc: Well I dunno about ANY animal. One form? Sure. Two or three forms? Maybe. Any more than that and I'd have to say no.)

BIC: She flung the wheel to the left, the wheels skidding as the car almost flipped. Speaking calmly, like nothing happened, she replies. "The what?"

OOC: Oh, okay. How about... A Mexican wolf? :P

Killy righted himself, and stared at her for a moment like she had just said the dumbest thing on earth.
"The RMV. Rapid Mutatious Virus. You know, the thing turning people into these... Things."
"Never heard of it." she said.
"It's a viral mutagen, an agent that can alter genetic material. It's airbourne, and since you're not covering your mouth you must have felt at least some of it's effects, no?"

(ooc: MEXICANSSS!! :D Well I imagined the biological powers the 'adepts' gain would be more... grostque. But since I'm getting tired and feeling nice I'll make an exeption.)

He sees her get goosebumps. "Well, not really..." She suddenly lifts her arm right at his face with the gun, but instead of shooting, she shoves him back in his seat, and fires. A mutant squeals and gets run over, and she lowers her arm casually, like this has always been her job.

OOC: XD thank you! :D

Felicity smiled as she finally entered the once proud city of London, England. She knew she only had a few seconds before she was attacked again, but her inner tourist was too much to tame. Besides, she had been traveling for the past four hours, and she needed a breather, no matter how brief it turned out to be.

No sooner than that thought had finished, Felicity heard a feral snarl behind her. She grabbed the rifle strapped to her back and turned around, her red hair flying around her head. She didn't take the time to study her target, and immediately shot two bullets into its head. Its blood flew everywhere.

What a welcome. Oh well.

"Ah! Stop! You Missed the Building!" Killy cried, "It was that one there!"
The girl spun the car in a 180.
"Whoa!" Killy was thrown out of his seat again, "Could you stop that..." he muttered.
"This building?" The girl asked. They were stopped in front of a towering apartment building.
"Yeah, the sixth floor is barricaded, and there's a working radio set too.." Killy replied.

She pulls up into the alley between the two buildings. "If they get this car, we're SCREWED. 'Took me DAYS to find this thing..." She sighs before grabbing all the necessary gear and climbing out of the car.

OOC: I have a question...what time is it for you? It's 10:42 here.

Killy climbed out of the car and Peered out of the ally. The street was deserted, "C'mon the street's clear."
He dashed out of the ally and opened the door. He held it open waiting for the girl.

She thanked him as he entered, hopping nimbly into the "lobby" part of the building. Looking around, she asks, "How do you know this place is safe?"

OOC: Then you must work during the day, as a guess of mine. xD How old are you? 8D

Killy headed toward the stairway. "Well I've been using this place as a safe-house regularly over the past week or so. It's... Usually empty." He said.

(ooc: I don't have a real job, I do volenteer work at an aquarium during the day. I'm 15. :P)

"Usually...?" The girl answered. She was persistantly staying back to back with the doctor, a loaded pistol in her hands, ready to shoot at any moment.

OOC: Well, that's nice.:D Gotta love los peces!:3 Where do you live? And uhm...guess how old I am! I'm a teen, btw... 8D

"Well, sometimes one or two mutants wander in, and y'know, hang around." Killy explained. There was a thump from the landing above them. Killy was instantly on alert, with his hands in claw form. Looking for any sign of danger.

(ooc: I guess... 15? I'm in CT, but I'm moving to England at the end of the week... :/)

Hearing a wierd noise coming from Killy, the woman spins around. Her eyes widen once again, staring at his hands. She raises the pistol at the same level as his face.

Killy found himself staring down the barrel of a gun. He couldn't think of anything to say. All he could manage was a confused, "Uuwaah!?"
"What are you?" The girl uttered.
CRASH! Part of the landing above them colapsed. Down with it fell a mutant. This one looked like a multi-eyed frog-dog with sharp sharp teeth.
The creature lept at them. Killy pushed the girl out of the way, and tried to block the beast with his free hand. It smashed into him, and carried him into the wall. The girl fired her gun at the creature, injuring it's hind leg.
"Aagh! You sneaky basterd..." Killy grunted, while pinned against the wall. He mustered up his strength and pushed the creature off of him. The girl fired off a few more shots. One got lucky and grazed the top of the mutant's head. It tried to turn, but before it could Killy jammed his claws into the wound, and drove them deep into it's skull. The thing shuddered, then slumped to the ground.
"Well, I'm kinda human..." He said.

(ooc: 14?)

Hearing the beast outside get killed he then looks outside a small space left in between the boards on the window. He sees two people and makes a long whistle to get there attention. "HERE! CATCH!" he throws the keys to the girl down on the ground hoping a mutant doesn't catch them mid-air. As she catches them he yells down to them "KNOCK THREE TIMES, THEN WAIT THREE SECONDS THEN KNOCK TWICE MORE BEFORE PUTTING IN THE KEY TO LET ME KNOW IT'S CLEAR" he then walks to the door and gets ready to unbarricade the door.

Felicity jumped as she heard gunfire coming from somewhere in the city. Survivors? she thought to herself. Well, whatever it was, it would lead her into the city, and most likely a place to stay when night fell. Until then, she'd try to kill as many of the mutants as possible. In her eyes, the things were beyond saving. There wasn't one bit of human in them. All they did was kill and infect people. And separate people.

Flyn...

Shooting as she ran, Felicity charged for an abandoned apartment complex. It was in the general direction of where the shots came from, and besides, the place must be loaded with infected.
