Many, many years ago, a virus broke out over North America. It started in a laboratory, hidden in an uninhabited area in what used to be Canada, where a secret operation was taking place. Rats were being ingested with multiple pills among other drugs, expected to give them a long lasting life. It was the people's greed for immortality that drove this operation. Though, a single rat broke from it's cage, one that had been experiencing several strange symptoms. Other rats soon caught the disease, and it was found that if a human were to be bitten, they would die minutes after. People were advised to stay inside, but the animals quickly got into houses or infected family pets. The rats sneaked onto ships and planes, and the disease spread to Europe and Asia. It was a new plague. When things seemed they couldn't get worse, many of the dead corpses of the humans awoke, having animal instincts to kill anything with a heartbeat. A human bitten by a corpse would change much quicker than a bite from a rat, and would experience conflicting emotions and severe pain rather than a painless death. Military operations were sent to kill these corpses and the infected animals, and make sure all dead humans were incapable of becoming corpses by disorientating their bodies. It was no use, however; the virus was spreading quicker than it was dying, and soon it was every man for themselves.
It has been many years since the incident, and a base has been set up, Votum. Behind a wall, it is said to be safe. About the size of a large city, people live normal lives, farming and raising families. Though, of course, there is a military. If the wall is ever to be broken, if anything finds it's way through, then the remainder of the human race will fall, and yet again humans will be forced into the decaying world to fend for themselves. If that ever happens, a cure must be found, and fast. And so the military stands, not only to make sure that nothing passes the wall, but to go out into the decaying world, searching for medicine and killing off as many corpses as they can.

Welcome to APH: Saviors of Votum. The first roleplay created on this site: remade for active members. A simple Zombie Apocalypse, Human AU. I have a few quick rules before we get started!
Guidelines
1. Please don't use any excessive gore. Most gore is fine, but nothing that might make someone puke.
2. You need to be active! At least enough to keep up with the roleplay and not let other members wait weeks for your reply. The roleplay will start right away.
3. No doubles are allowed, but if a player hasn't responded to the roleplay within a given time (marked by two asterisks) the character (with it's position/past/disabilities) is up for "adoption".
4. You have to write at least 3 complete sentences, per character per post. Try to use proper grammar, and this does not mean you must play all your characters in a response.
5. If you play a character with a minor role, try to make it interesting! Have them sneak into the army, make them have a goal! Feel free to create drama! Characters may also change roles over the course of the roleplay, but if they do, please PM me so I may change it.
6. You may play any number characters, as long as you are sure you can handle it. Feel free to add twists on the now-human-nations! Have a character be blind, lame, or some kind of backstory. This is not a requirement, however.
7. OC's, 2p!s and Nyos are allowed as long as you also have at least one other canon character. This also goes for adopted characters, since you may not keep them
9. Killing off you character or other characters is not forbidden. However, if you plan to kill of another's character you musty ask permission, and they have every right to deny you. That said, plotting in private is welcome.
10. Relationships are allowed freely between your own characters. Relationships with other characters are allowed if both roleplayers agree.
11. All site rules apply

"Adopting" Character Form
- General - One who commands the army. They take the role of the leader of Votum as well, often serving without a council. Their word is law. Like soldiers and the rest of Votum, they simply live in a normal house. 0/1 taken
- Soldier - One who risks their life to find medicine and cures outside beyond the wall. They do not work as a normal "army," and are usually sent in small groups. It is also their job to find needed supplies such as wood among other tools, and take in any wandering humans that have been surviving by themselves. 1/endless taken
- "Doctor"/Inspector - One who checks in on families at seemingly random times, inspecting the household for signs of sickness. They can appear shady, but most of Votum is used to them. Unknown to the public, they are required to take any infected humans into questioning and testing for the General, if they are not ordered to slaughter them on the spot. 1/5 taken
- Wanderer - One who does not live in Votum, but has been surviving by themselves or with a partner. (Note that this is really only meant as a backstory/starting role. It is not suggested to stick with this role, however it is not forbidden) 0/endless taken
- Wall Inspector - One who's job is to inspect the wall daily, making sure there are no holes. They are expected to repaint the wall and fix any cracks, even the smallest one. 0/10 taken
- Farmers - One who grows crops inside Votum, and sells them for a price at the market, to citizens or a merchant. 1/endless taken
- Merchant - One who buy's other's works, such as clothing, food, or artwork, or makes their own, to sell. 0/endless taken
- Normal Citizen - One who has no job or a very minor job (Please specify) and usually lives on little pay unless supported by a family of such. 0/endless taken
