Matt

Matt is a survivor. He has fluffy pink hair and fair skin. His eyes are sky blue and he doesn't really keep himself neat. His hair is messy, it gets in his eyes, and to top it off, his teeth are slightly tinted yellow. He couldn't care less about his safety. He's always taking risks and putting himself and others into dangerous situations. Despite his chaotic nature, he can be quite sweet and considerate at times. Well, when he's drunk.. He is 24 years old and he still acts like a reckless child. He screams a lot for really no reason and is quite agile. He enjoys getting on people's nerves and making people hate him. But, on the other hand, he really enjoys cuddles and head pets. One of his most... concerning traits is his obsession with gore and blood. He couldn't care less about his sexual and/or romantic life, but he loves seeing some violence. But he loves causing violence even more. Matt is an overall chaotic and destructive ball of weird energy that just wants to have a good time and doesn't care about making other's mad.

It's all in Japan. A disease broke out. At first, it was under control. The infected were taken to a lab and studied. The disease was named Covania. After further inspection, it was a parasite. The parasite would infect the host’s brain and wait for them to die. It made the host have no interest in eating, run fever, and once dead, the parasite took over the body. You can identify which people are infected by their appearances. Their sclera turns dark and their veins turn a dark purple, causing them to stick out more. The parasite can’t seem to be able to talk through the hosts bodies either. Usually, the dead host moves like a puppet or a zombie. The only way for the parasite to spread is the nests it makes. After a certain period of time, the dead host will be guided into an empty space and lie there rotting. The parasite will then finally feed on the body and turn it into a purple, bloody, mess of fleshy slosh. The nest, as it’s called, is in fact alive with the parasite. It can sense when something living is near, and it uses certain developed glands to shoot a black, thick liquid at it. The strange substance has an odd acid-like quality to it. If it touches your clothes, it’s only a matter of time before it dissolves through them and gets to your skin. Once in contact with your blood, it’s too late. You’ve been infected. In rare cases, the host doesn’t die. This is because not enough of the parasite was inside the person’s body, so it’s not strong enough to kill them. But over a period of time, the host will start to undergo physical changes, causing muscle spasms to occur occasionally. But once infected during this rare case, the parasites’ nests do not see you as a living thing, but one of their own. Now, back to the dead hosts. They may seem like the zombies you see in movies, but they are much more hostile. They are often blind or deaf, but they can sense objects around them within a 12 inch radius from their positions. They also happen to be incredibly fast. In the common case they catch you, they will simply feed on your body until you are nothing but bone. Now, unlike zombies, if you are to be bitten by one, you won’t get infected. But, it would be no surprise that you die from blood loss or your wound gets infected by other bacteria and such. Fortunately for you, the parasite seems to hate fire or any kind of heat source. So just carry some matches and lighter fluid and you’re good to go! But, on the off hand side, fire doesn’t kill the parasite. It simply makes it slower and tired. So far, there has been no known way of killing it. Now before you say anything about leaving Japan all together, people have tried. They have also succeeded. But, there happened to be people who were infected on the plane rides to other continents, and ended up infecting others there. So, the disease spread. The only known place that has no sign of the infected is Canada. But that was from 4 years ago. For all we know, things might have gotten worse. There might not be any safe place in the world anymore. I mean, the parasite has only been around for what, 6 years now? It’s not like the world is totally doomed or anything! So maybe you can find a safe place where there are other survivors somewhere in the world. Will you stay in your small infected city until you run out of supplies and die? Or will you take the chance to travel elsewhere and try to escape from the world that is now Hell? Maybe you might just succumb to the parasitic disease. But, it’s up to you. What would you do?
