A State of Emergency (The Last Of Us RP)

Twenty years after a fungal-based, brain-altering pandemic spread and infected nearly 60% of the world's population (possibly even more). Since the outbreak, the world has gone into a state of panic and frenzy as officials try to fix and keep the situation under control. When the World Health Organisation's attempts to procure a vaccine fail, the United States government did away with the bureaucrats in power and the establishment of the American government. The country was turned into a police state under the control of homeland security and the military, and cities across the nation were placed under martial law one by one. Survivors of the pandemic were assigned to designated quarantine zones that are supposed to separate them from the infected and keep them safe.

Sometime within the twenty years, an anti-government militia group calling themselves the Fireflies was established, and their main goal is to find and produce a vaccine for the Cordyceps Brain Infection, while staging attacks on quarantine zones as an act of defiance, as they view the military as tyrants.

The Fireflies have staged both successful (Salt Lake City) and unsuccessful (Pittsburgh) uprisings against the Military's control of the Quarantine Zones. Others have been abandoned by the Military due to a lack of resources or population to protect. Those still in the hands of the military are protected heavily by armed forces.

The Roleplay will begin in Boston's Quarantine Zone, everyone will play individual characters, two per person unless we deem you suitable for more. Canon characters will be available to roleplayers of the best quality. The majority of characters will start inside the safe-zone and go from there.
