Introduction
not with a bang but a whimper."
— T.S. Eliot
It's been 176 days since the blight crossed to the United States.
It started somewhere in Asia, although the details are unclear. It's destroyed half the human population already, and continues to spread. An airborne disease. You show symptoms in the first hour. Within the next 48 your probably dead. Those who have survived have lost their minds, common sense, or they have become nothing; a vegetable.
They tried to stop it, they really did, but they weren't fast enough. The military even stepped in.
Everyone tried to stop it.
People stayed in their homes. Schools cancelled the rest of the term. Airports were shut down, public areas condemned. Nothing helped. Hospitals were stained with the stench of dead bodies. Doctors went down just like the common folk.
The odds are in no ones favor. It's a dangerous to leave your clean home, your family. It's dangerous to stay.
Trapped. The only way to get out is yourself.
The government has advised that those who are still located in a city to move out. Find a clean place. Somewhere to rebuild. Rebuild yourself. Rebuild the nation.
The entire world is silent.

As you might have guessed this is a post apocalypse role play. This is also a remake, a throw back, whatever you want to call it, of the original RP I made a while ago.
This role play will be character driven, even though the plot begs to differ. It's set in modern times and I will only be accepting six characters. Three women and three men. They've reconstructed a city bus into an RV type deal because they are moving out of the city and into new territory. They should come from all different backgrounds and don't even have to be from the same town. They will be using this bus as a home as they search for a place to get away from the disease and isolate themselves from those who might be infected.
NOTE: Your character
This role play has a very loosely based plot for a reason. I want other people who are willing to put in ideas, turn the plot and twist little side stories. There shall be drama, whither it be romance or otherwise. So, if you're not up to that don't join. I want this thing to last, so keep the ball rolling.
Rules:
Literate role play. 500+ words.
Post as often as possible. At least once a week would be preferred.
Inform me when something is going on so I don't think you've ditched.
Please post a "<3" as a sign that you've read the whole thing before you submit your character.
I will be making a relationships thread, so look forward to that, seeing as you're required to fill that out.
