[RPG_Player_Sanctuary] PBEM: “And when Hell is full, the Dead shall walk the Earth…”

That is what the preachers used to say, but no one believed them. Until
it happened. You see it all started with the flu. The Black Flu. First
the victims would get what seemed to be bad cold, then recover for a few
days then suddenly erupt in black swollen lesions across their bodies
then intense fever, shivering and vomiting and eventually death.
Millions died across the globe as the vector of the infection was never
isolated. Most civilized nations declared martial law but as more and
more military and law enforcement personal fell victim to the Black Flu,
anarchy reigned. Cities become battlegrounds as looters and plague panic
tore civilization apart from within.

Now it's several months later, well over 2/3 of the human population has
died either from the plague or the chaos that followed. And the true
nightmare has revealed itself. The plague dead has begun to raise,
clawing their way out of their crude mass graves and seeking the living.
No one knows why or how these walking dead have come to be or what their
purpose is beyond bringing death and infecting the living with their
taint, those who fall to the walking dead rise as one unless their
bodies are burned. Small pockets of humanity now struggle to survive in
world that has become a living Hell.

"And the Dead shall walk" will be a Survival Horror PBEM set in a Post
Apocalyptic inhabited by the walking dead, desperate survivors and
perhaps other surprises. The player character will be a small band of
humans, trying to escape the seemingly endless hordes of the undead,
their "fellow" humans and find some sanctuary, some measure of safety.
The campaign will begin in April 2000, in with Player Characters already
assembled outside of New York City. Almost any character concept is
welcome that would fit into a modern era game. The game system will be
Hero System Fifth Edition, but knowledge of the game system is not a
requirement. Character creation details will be sent to those interested
upon request. This game will include scenes of graphic violence, adult
language, themes and possibly sexuality so all players must be 18+. What
I am looking for are strong role players, willing to portray "real"
people in a desperate situation. Please include a brief writing sample
describing a bit of your character background in the months of the
plague and the awakening of dead. I will choose from the best of these
samples for the core group.
