Alright, so I finally got my thought process together in regards to the Plague. While it wont be happening any time soon, and by soon I mean in the upcoming weeks, it will most likely begin by the start of the New Year.
The time period I see is by the end of January if not beginning of February at the latest. So I would suggest those who have storylines made up already, hurry up and get them done and over with.
I'm sure everyone realizes by now that this is a site-wide RP, so no matter what happens, when this storyline starts, the RPs done will have to acknowledge the events that will start occuring worldwide.
I decided to do this because I thought it would be different and cool to have a storyline where everyone will be involved, regardless.
I'd like everyone to keep in mind that not all your characters can avoid this plague. I decided to give a good amount of time of how long people last with it, as we work up to the finding of the cure. I hope you all enjoy this.As for the time someone may have the plague before passing on, I've decided to let you decide on how much time passes. You can have the days pass in real-time, or in time you feel is fit.
To those who may be thinking of deleting accounts this is the best time to do it. If you feel one of your characters is not on par to the way you wanted them to be and want to start over with their face or what-not, this is the time to do it.
And with that all said and done, I give you the Plague:
======================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
======================================
A cult, still unknown, has unleashed a horrific plague, which affects everyone regardless of what their race. It's known that they used VERY powerful dark and ancient magic, in order to affect all creatures regardless of race and creed. Even the mighty and powerful have fallen to it's grip. The plague works in a very swift manner, and magic can only hold it off for so long. Without an antidote those who have contracted it have only been able to live for 10 months at most, and those results vary with the race of each creature.
The body rots slowly from the inside out. The skin peels from the body which causes a person to look like nothing more than tissue and muscles with no skin. It causes excrutiating pain as it ravages the body, organs have shriveled up into things the size of prunes and the body has decomposed slowly, while the victim remains alive. The pain so intense that some have sought suicide as the best means to stop their suffering. Those who have combated their thoughts of suicide turn on one another like a pack of ravaging dogs. They fight, they steal, they rape, they pillage, they even feast on the flesh of their former allies and friends, both those with the plague and those unlucky enough to come by their paths. It destroys wills, spirits, hopes, and in the powerful it is a tool for the mass destruction of whole towns and villages.
While the plague ravages each city slowly, even the burning of corpses does not aid in trying to eradicate it. Those who think they are safe from it's grip have been mistaken. While there is a handful who have managed to avoid it completely, they have only avoided it for an already set time. Towns, Cities, and Continents have seen it's peoples become victims to it's frightening reality. It spreads swiftly, moving from town to town like a shadow.
No one is safe, and the antidote to stop the people's suffering is still unknown. Millions have already perished, and from those millions many of those already dead and gone were victims of their friends brutal torture and thirst for a cure. Millions more are said to pass on, before an antidote is found and procured. By the time the plague has finally been eradicated completely, it's said that the world's populations will go from the Billions to barely thousands, leaving the only survivors left to re-populate and also bring life to the normality it once had. Many races will go from flourishing populations to a fight to stay preserve their heritage and their peoples.
Unlikely heroes will rise up. Those who believe that they only need worry for their families and friends will slowly but surely realize that in order to truly make it, they will need to become unwilling heroes and help those who have yet to suffer from the plagues horrors and protect one another from the mob of plague sufferers.
In the backdrop of the horror, there is a Secret Organization, using all it's resources, contacts, and knowledge to try and end this as quickly as possible. Using Arts that have been cultivated since the beginnings of its Organization they use knowledge, truth, research, and of course the valuable tools from ancient civilizations, ancient magics and even symbols from gods that were once worship to find a way to ease the suffering. This Organization unknown to most except the actual members within, has existed for more 15,000 years. They fight to maintain a balance between the good and the bad.They fight to prevent chaos. They fight to preserve all the knowledge of the world, especially the knowledge that has since been forgotten. They work meticulously behind the scenes to find a cure to help the people. Although it's members are the best at what they do, they have yet to find a cure, and while they keep working and seeing the horrors unleashed, something is also happening within the rankings. It is unknown of what's occuring but before the plague is finally put at rest, and those fortunate souls sent to try and bring life back to normal, the world will suffer from a horror that would make war seem like a heaven.
And while the fights continue on, and this organization as well as the few peoples still unaffected work day and night to find a cure, before everything is said and done this world will have changed forever...
