an open world collaboration


The year is 2032. The zombie apocalypse started ten years ago in Alaska when an experimental new drug rapidly mutated the canine test subjects, who subsequently broke out of the lab and began to infect humans with what became known as the “Mutt Virus”.The pandemic rapidly spread, leaving society in ruins. The government-run Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) attempt to retain order in some cities, while many survivors headed out into rural areas to establish small, self-sufficient communities.The infected are a constant threat; intelligent but controlled by feral impulses to feed, they are incredibly dangerous, though they cannot move in daylight.Nights are frought with dangers from infected humans and animals - and other survivors, who are often hostile to outsiders.

camp winterbrook

Camp Winterbrook is a community of around 100 survivors, built on the foundations of an old summercamp in rural Virginia.The community is lead by Nathaniel “Nate” Briggs and his husband, Lucas “Luke” Briggs. Camp Wintersbrook is unfriendly towards outsiders though maintains trade with other neighbouring community, with its major source of income being the camp’s marijuana crop, which even some members of the local GHF are known to trade for.Life in Camp Winterbrook is difficult but the sense of community is strong. There is little tolerance for weakness or laziness.The camp itself is fortified with high walls topped with razor wire, along which there are 24/7 patrols of armed guards.
Kennels and stables are on the south side of camp, with farms and greenhouses to the east.
The center of camp is the large dining hall which serves as a communal meeting area, with cabins nearby that serve as residences for members.The office has been converted into a house where Nate and Luke live.

So the twins decided to book it. Sean ended up getting bitten on the back of his right calf by a mutated Mutt as they ran by an area where it had been hiding underneath a table.
The two managed to get to safety, but Sean was going hysterical with fear due to being bitten. Days passed, and he showed ZERO signs of infection, but the paranoia was getting to him.

guardian angels

Raiders are an additional threat alongside infected.They prey upon lone survivors or those too weak to defend themselves, killing any who wander into their territory and stealing their supplies.The raider group called the Guardian Angels operates near Camp Wintersbrook’s territory and there is a strong rivalry between the two factions, with skirmishes and raids frequent as they fight for control of the area.The Guardian Angels are known for luring in survivors with tales of safety, food and medicine...only to rob them blind and use the unfortunate victim as bait to ward off Mutt attacks.

raiders

mutts

The infected, also called “Mutts”, zombies or ferals, are humans that have succumbed to the so-called Mutt Virus.While most infected are completely driven by the feral instinct to hunt and feed, around 20% retain some level of human intelligence (though often lack memories of their human past).Infected are often found in groups lead by these more intelligent “semi-infected” and tend to hide out in caves or abandoned buildings during the day, hibernating untl nightfall.Infected resemble humans albeit occasionally with more extreme mutations like vestigal tails, fangs or claws.The infected are dangerous and have few self-preservation instincts.They will attack all living creatures on sight, though they are notably more placid and lethargic during the day due to their extreme sensitivity to light.

global humanitarian forces

The Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) are what is left of the government and US Army, and have warped beyond their original purpose of “restoring order” to totalitarian dictators who force civilians to perform dangerous labour in the name of ‘maintaining society’.Widely hated, the GHF is heavily armed and is known to force survivalist communities to join them or else be eliminated as ‘rebels’.The closest GHF-controlled city to Camp Wintersbrook is Vienna, which is undergoing a population crisis.GHF forces are known to sometimes trade or visit with larger communities, but the threat and hostility directed towards those wearing the GHF badge often means these visits are tense and risky.

droverfield

created by sayrasky

Rural community of around 50 survivors in the hilly, mountainous wilderness of Northwestern Massachusetts. They’ve walled off the main street/down town for the residents to live in.Working and patrolling the fields and farms outside during the day. They keep some livestock (goats, pigs, chickens and a pair of draft horses) in reinforced barns, sheds or abandoned homes at night. Letting them out in the sunlight.Within walking distance of the town, there’s an old working farm. Complete with functioning antique horse-powered machinery. The entire area is surrounded by densely forested conservation land.Infected occasionally wander over from nearby abandoned cities or towns. They’re frequently found in the residential area outside the walls. Residents must live in a constant state of awareness.Before the outbreak, Droverfield was a small town of less than 1,800. After the outbreak began, a large portion of the population left to seek sanctuary and resources in larger towns and cities. Numbers have been slowly dwindling since. The recent take-over by the Steel Wyverns, a raider group led by Major, certainly did nothing to help on that account.
