[BCOLOR=transparent]The year is 2026. A medical breakthrough has brought a new age of surgery upon the world, genetically engineered surgery insects. Through nanotechnology, scientists have given the newly discovered ultratiny grub-like species a higher intelligence, ability to survive in the human body, higher strength, and trained them to receive orders from scientists to perform various surgeries. However, due to their advanced intelligence, the Pusermites (an informal term for [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]pusillus vermis[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent], literally “tiny grub” in Latin) have adapted and developed parasitic tendencies. They began to latch onto the brains of patients and analyzed some nerve impulses to gain control of the body. However, their sense of touch and pain is dysfunctional. The Pusermites took control of humans and turned the bodies into zombie-like creatures, turning on the humans. They reproduce by laying their eggs in the saliva of the human body, so a bite from a Pusermite will cause eggs to hatch in the infected body and take control of the brain. The backfire of the mass-produced surgical bugs immediately threw the world into chaos. People died and became infected left and right. The apocalypse took hold of the whole world in a mere 3 days.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Flash forward to about a half year later. Most of the world is now infected. The remaining survivors have exhausted their brains trying to find a way to get rid of all the zombies for good. Then, after lots of strenuous testing and estimation, a small group of scientists come to the conclusion that because of the Pusermites’ inability to sense pain and touch, they are unable to know when the body is decaying. They estimate that it takes about 27-29 days for a Pusermite body to decay fully and die without feeding. The discovery is passed on to as many survivors as possible. To rid the world of the zombies forever, nobody must become infected for the 27-29 day period.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]If you have something particularly “ground breaking” that would change the plot line a lot, talk to me about it first. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]You can’t control others’ actions. If you are going to interact with another character, talk to them. Forum PM, Steam, whatever. Just make sure that both parties know what’s going to happen.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]The zombies can run much faster than normal people can, but have fairly low control of their body. They don’t use their hands, mostly their head. They are also attracted to sound more than sight. Their appearance is very much the same as other humans, save for their movements, and pale skin.[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent] Please avoid from making zombies do something different from the behavior I have set for them. If you [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]do [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]want them to change for something particular, like I said, contact me. [/BCOLOR]
