This will be a roleplay that anyone can join at any time, just read a few of the previous posts to get an idea of whats going on when you introduce your character. Not sure how popular it will be but romance between characters may happen, just keep the NSFW stuff private. A bit of background now.<br/><br/>It's been 3 years since a mysterious infection spread like wildfire throughout the world. This infection didn't present with any symptoms, at least not until you died. It remains dormant until you die, then brings you back as a flesh craving monstrosity with the only known cure being direct and severe trauma to the brain. At this point all power and water systems are offline and people have long since turned to looting from other people as a means to survive. There are pockets of survivors scattered across the country but, with radios being the only way of communication and batteries being hard to come by, they don't talk to each other.<br/><br/>Name: Nico Scaletta<br/>Age: 23<br/>Appearance:<script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json">

</div><br/><br/>Nico was skulking through the empty city, careful to remain undetected by both living and dead. With 3 years without human interference nature has been able to reclaim the city, offering sufficient concealment if Nico remained low to the ground. He approached a mechanic's workshop in hopes of finding a semi-functioning vehicle. Nico switched his shotgun to safety and gripped all of his left hand fingers around the grip, holding the gun across his body for defence and drawing his US Marine KA-BAR in his right hand to be used as offence. Using his knife hand he ever so slowly opened the door and crept inside, the only noise being a low creak from the hinges on the door that were in desperate need of oil. Closing the door behind him just as slowly as he opened it, then proceeding to clear the workshop. The sound of boots shuffling against the floor catches his attention and he prepares himself. An overweight man clearly dressed as a mechanic with 3 small holes in his chest rounds the corner and lunges at Nico, who jabs the muzzle of his shotgun into the man's sternum then carries the momentum with his right side and plunges his knife into the unlucky mechanic's head. The zombie goes limp and falls to the floor with Nico's knife still in its skull. "Well that's one down." Nico mutters to himself just before leaning down to grip the hilt of his knife and plants his left boot against the zombie's face as he jerks the blade free, letting a low grunt escape his lips.
