Ok, I've had RPG's started but everytime, it seems people either forgot or can't be bothered to post and its getting really annoying. If you can't post then don't sign up. Anyway, this is yet another of my ideas I've been thinking about that I thought would make a change from your usual RPG's so feel free to read:
Death, a natural part of life that is impossible to escape. From the smallest flower to the most advanced human, every single thing eventually withers away and their bodies finally stop working. The theory's behind death and beyond is endless from the Afterlife (Heaven and Hell) or ghosts or maybe even nothing.
Many believe it is God who decides when you die, others believe in a Grim Reaper and possibly even rebirth. Whatever the case one thing always mains clear: Everything must die.
Or does it?....
For centuries there are have been myths and legends of the ancient practice of Necromancy, believed by all religions as forbidden. They say those who study its working can gain ever lasting life - cheat death itself. A Necromancer goes through many things in his attempt to gain power - using it can cause them their health or even their own lives if used wrongly. They control a force called the death essence that flows through everything that lives. By focusing and gathering it, they can cause things to wither and die or so the rumors go. The most exaggerated rumor is by focusing the death essence, they can control the corpses of long lost lives or "Undead" and can raise minions to serve them. They hunger for the flesh of the living and for every life that falls, an undead one takes its place.
All these have been but rumors, something lost in time and created as great horror film sources. But people must remember: Myths have to come from somewhere.
The year 2006, American life has become more complicated as a new virus has begun to sweep worldwide. Where it came from no one knows and why but it is causing death and diease across the globe. Although scientists have been working on a cure, they aren't creating it quick enough.
The virus appears to deteriate the humans systems, slowing killing them from the inside. Their organs begin to stop working and the skin begins to rot and its not long before the person is dead. The virus has killed thousands already and its only a matter of times before the major cities are hit.
But thats not what is freaking people out. Their have been strange reports of movement within the graveyards or burial grounds. Graves have been found empty and strange moaning sounds from their far corners at night. These rumors are causing wide spread panic and graveyards all over are being closed up and locked to keep people out - or something in.
Simply put, you are one the people who stumble on the effects of the virus and what happens to the person. You are now desperately trying to survive from the forces at work and the virus. Its your job to solve this nightmare and find a cure before its too late to save millions of lives, and yourself.
However, there is a more tempting way to get by.....
You somehow stumble on the secrets of Necromancy, at first you may think its all a joke or fake but you soon learn its no joke. You soon learn to use it to your advantage in this struggle for survival and use the same powers to control the forces killing everyone of.
So what side will you take. Work against this force or fight for it? Heck you could be necromancer and use its powers to still find a cure. Its your choice. One thing is clear in this RPG: The dead will not rest for much longer.
Groups:
Fighters - Objectives
1) Find other survivors (other fighters). The more of you, the easier it is to fight against the undead.
2) Find protection and weapons. You'll need weapons to take out any opposition easier. Finding shelter from the undead will give you time to gain your strength.
3) Find the cause and cure. If you can solve the mystery then it might not be too late to stop the world from becoming a zombie paradise.
4) Survive!
Necromancers - Objectives
1) Learn more Necromancy. The better you get at controling your power, the more strength you have to survive.
2) Find more infected and undead. If you plan on taking over, you'll need minions to do your bidding. Bodies and corpses are all you need.
3) Find artefacts of power. Necromancy was started a long time ago and there are misunderstood or evil men and woman who harnessed power in items. Gain them to increase your power.
4) If your a good hearted Necromancer, you'll use your powers to find a cure and solve this mystery.

1) Basic Serebiiforums rules apply as set by the staff.
2) If you sign up, you MUST have time. No point in signing up and then not going through with it when other people could have taken your place. Also I will be only saving places for three days. After that, your place is available to other people.
3) No small posts. The amount of time I have recently seen small one line posts. If you do this three times, you'll be banned from posting for the rest of the RPG or limited amount of time.
4) Try and set your posts out right. Paragraphs, spelling an grammer etc.
5)If you have any ideas, problems or questions just PM me.
6) Enjoy!
