-Cotra, The Lone Alliance-
Years ago Cotra had been one of the 7 major cities of the Nation, with a speciality as a distrubution center for the country. With a multitude of roadways and canals stretching from the nearby shore and through the mountain passes to the north, the city was planned for it's location. For a time it was even taken renamed Cotra and used as the Nation's capital. But it was it's strategic purpose and large population that lead to it's destruction. In the Kravania\Lone Alliance War Cotra was one of the cities directly hit by an enemy's missile strike, due to the defenses of nation the missile ended up detonating on the southwestern part of the city, on the ground. The explosion vaporized thousands of tons of rock and soil and collapsed several of the nuclear bunkers in the city. The resulting fallout and the large death toll left an unescapable curse. The irradiated bodies who were were buried in mass graves within the city and the city of Cotra was abandoned and sealed. Leaving only automated sensors to do regular radiation tests. The only ones who visited were the workers who would maintain them and the small number of homeless who refused to live in any sort of government housing.
Everyone else avoided the place, despite so much death much of the city had escaped the worst of the nuclear blast, leaving many buildings intact, thus adding to the haunted feeling of the place.
Nothing was thought of the place for years, until two weeks before when Transmitters began to shutdown all across the city. This was followed by a drop off of squatter sightings by the nearby towns. Spy sattelites altered their course and began to start searching for a cause. They found something un expected.
The Mass grave was not how it was supposed to be, one end seemed to have caved in on itself, and the rest was completely empty, the remaining graveyards in the city were just as disturbed. With no evidence of people entering or leaving the city with anything that could remove the bodies, Command had no choice but to announce the feared conclusion...
Outbreak...
OOC:
(This is an interest thread and possible OOC thread.)
After playing too many games with alternative types of zombies. I decided that it was time for a different sort of Zombie RP, what if, instead of just hundreds of shambling diseased recent dead zombies, you had tens of thousands of of long dead corpses with a few thousand of them smart enough to retain knowledge on human weapons and battle tactics. These few thousand control the remaining through a A hive mind, that means "shooting for the head" of the usual types won't be effective.
Mix in the fact that the city was evacuated leaving behind guns and military equipment, you have an enemy that is smart, well armed, and nearly impossible to kill. And a goal to escape to destroy the entire world.
