Overview: The nation has been overrun and almost completely taken over by strange aggressive beings known as The Blind Ones. The Blind Ones have a zombie-like nature but aren't technically dead. This was caused by a chemical bomb attack on the nation's largest cities over 15 years ago. The Blind Ones, or Blinds/Blinders/infected for short, are blind due to their eyes being completely black from the chemical in their bodies; however, they can hunt using their ears and nose. Their hearing and smell are not enhanced but some Blinds have mutated special and unique abilities that allow them an upper hand in hunting prey.
Over the years, the chemical in their system has caused several of the infected to have a slightly better adaptation to their environment. Reports have shown that some Blinds living in the cold north have grown longer and stronger arms and legs to tread easier in the snow but seem to lack the hearing and smelling ability that regulars have due to most of their face being frozen over. They possess ruthless strength and are able to lift cars with ease. Reports from the desert tell of Blinds who hide in the sand and pounce on their prey if they sink in one of their traps. They are smaller and weaker than their northern brothers but tend to hunt in packs. The sun is a major weakness to them since it causes their skin to catch on fire. These Blinds are strictly night-dwellers.
Some Blinds, however, have advanced so far that their have gained strange abilities that are almost always fatal. One report told of a single Blind able to control a large mass of the regulars, letting them hoard around potential prey. This Blinder seems to possess a strong strategic mindset and is far smarter than the rest, able to easily control them. Though very rare, these 'Special Blinds' are extremely dangerous due to having very enhanced and unique abilities. They are constantly protected by the lesser Blinds but no one knows what happens if you manage to kill one. There has only been one documented Special Blinder but no one knows how many there really are.
The safe place on the nation is Portland, Oregon. It was one of the major cities that avoided attack and created the defenses to protect itself from others. The city has been barricaded and not a single Blinder has ever gotten through. Since the epidemic has no cure yet, the Portland officials have taken very extreme measures of protecting its citizens from harm and almost never let people inside the city gates. The city has had a big technology boom and is working day and night to find a cure. The city almost looks similar to a futuristic utopia. (Flying cars not included lol)
The nation outside of Portland has grown into a jungle-like industrial wasteland. Luckily, food and water were not contaminated and animals seem to show no reaction to the chemical. Shelter is plentiful and laws no longer exist. Everything can be turned to a weapon. Anything can be food. Not everyone will be friendly and some will be even worse than the Blind Ones. Trust no one but yourself!

Small Bio:
=========
Name: Ezra Myles
Age: 39
Personality: Mostly serious and tends to not tolerate mistakes. Rarely smiles and is slow to warm up on people. Those that he does trust tend to look up at him like a father figure and he is more willing to save them. He may be hard on people but he would not let anyone die.
Appearance: Dusty-Brown Wavy hair and small beard grown from age. Blue eyes with some dark circles around them. He has some scars on his arms and hands and a major one across his nose. He wears pants with many pockets and some hiker/military boots. He keeps his trusty combat knife and a gun at his waist at all times.
Major skill: Survivalist
Small Bio: Ezra was an average man when the chemical strike happened. He and his family were separated from each other at the start of the whole epidemic. He had to stay behind and allow his wife and kids to get taken to Portland so they can remain safe. His only mission in life is to reunite with his family. With the help of Boris, he has gotten through many thick situations involving the Blinders.
=====
Name: Boris Kunstein.
Age: 50
Personality: He's a bit of dare devil and loves to smash some Blinders up with his fists or any sort of melee weapon he has. He is very gentle despite his huge demeanor and tends to not really talk about his age to anyone. He loves to protect younger people and has a real heart of gold. He is almost a complete opposite of Ezra but he states that he could never abandon him because of the bond they share. He loves to drink and has a strong German accent.
Appearance: Huge bulky man with a full white beard. He may be old but he's no push over. He's got strong muscles all over his body. Since he mostly uses close range combat to fight, his arms, legs, and torso are protected with armor. He has a nice pair of brass knuckles. He can use a variety of melee weapons. He has white hair and is very bulky looking.
Major skill: Strength
Small Bio: When the attacks hit, Boris was in New York. He, along with his wife, had to fight Blinders together. When help finally arrived, Boris's wife was taken to Portland where she vowed to drink in his name. Boris traveled several years, aiming to go to Portland to finally reunite with his beloved Helga and celebrate until they drop. He met up with Ezra, saving him from a Blinder and the two seemed inseparable.

General rules (Subject to change!)
- You can submit a Special Infected but you must first run it by me. I must approve it as well. (There are currently 4 I have planned out)
- Your character can die/wish to die (Just let me know ahead of time and I'll work something out with you.)
- Any and all plot devices must be talked with me first!
- Only GM/OP can control Blinders unless you are given permission to do so. (I'll be flexible with this)
- If you are bitten you will change into a zombie/Blinder within 2 days. No excuses!
- You will have a major skill that will be your strong point in surviving. Skills with a '+' are able to select 1 extra skill to compensate. If you pick 1 skill, you will be an expert/master in that field. If you pick 2 skills, you will have some knowledge on both, enough to help you get around, but not master either. This helps keep a balance between characters.
- No characters under the age of 13. This is an apocalypse, not a fairy tale.
- No more than 3 characters. If you want to add more, you have to kill one or more of your characters off permanently to add your current one.
- If you are busy please let me know and I'll save your character for when you return and update you on what's happening. If you don't, I'll just skip you after 2 weeks.
- If you have any ideas/suggestions, please leave them HERE.
