2037. The humans of Earth thought they'd cured every disease. Cancer was no longer a problem. Scientists stopped making antibiotics. Everything seemed happy. Life seemed perfect.
Except in the slums. Disease, plagues, the whole works. And if the humans weren't dying, it was the hybrids. They were science experiments gone wrong. They were meant to be for cures. Only a handful know the secrets. Only a handful of hybrids know why the cities are so clean and perfect. They also know why the slums are the way they are.
They know why so many of the old cities have been walled off, why no one is allowed into the closed off areas. Why the law states that no one can move from the town or city they were born.
It has been thought that no one lived in those closed off places. It has been thought that everyone there is dead. Well, they're not wrong.
Zombies swarm in the cities, and when a group of hybrids go in to see if they could salvage something for the humans in the slums. The hybrids had a run-in with some rotting creatures that could move quickly. They survived and got out with a few cuts and bruises. And someone got bitten.
Within months, all the slums were overrun by the dead. The cities have been closed off. The hybrids that made it out alive escaped to the cities, and they were closed off. The human that are left are fragile. Many turned from the poison in the air. All those that had any signs of becoming a zombie was burned and thrown out of the city.
The hybrids were sent to labs. They're the only ones that are fully immune to becoming zombies. They help transfer humans to cities that need them.
Now, the government wants the hybrids to find a way to destroy the zombies. They want Earth back, and they'll fight for it back. The government is prepared to go down fighting. They are the last remaining humans, and they know it.
Earth is in chaos. Humans are dying, and the zombies are taking over. The hybrids are the only things that can save them, and the only creatures alive with some human blood in their veins, and they are trying to keep the humans alive.
All everyone can do is hope. The apocalypse may yet come to an end. Life may be able to start again.
Setting:
Set in North America, though there can be posts based in other countries, and the hybrids can travel around the world.
Characters:
Spoiler! :
Humans – They appear very healthy, and most are immune to all disease. Most humans are fair skinned and haired, sometimes looking quite sickly too. The soldiers are healthier looking and stronger, ranging from dark skinned to light skinned.
Hybrids – some look human, some don't. They have body parts of animals. They are stronger, smarter, more adaptable and less susceptible illnesses. They are immune to zombie bites, also. Hybrids aren't immortal, though. They can still be injured, even if it is difficult. And all hybrids have a sort of connection, like they're family. If the hybrid was made in a lab, it will have a subject name, too. If it was born a hybrid, then it wont.
Zombies – if you've seen Quarantine, World War Z, I am Legend and 28 Days Later, then you'll have a fair idea of what they're like. If you haven't, I'll put it simply. They are fast and agile, and the zombie hybrids are extremely intelligent. Though they were once human, it must be remembered that they aren't any more, and their brains are hot wired to think like animals, and they hunt in packs mostly. They keep to the shadows, and a sharp blow to the head will permanently stop them, as well as burning them. So far, there isn't anything that can stop them.
