○ Backstory ○

Jay and his twin brother, Gray, had grown up as orphans since they were newborns. Their mother had been extremely young, and put them in the system right after they were born. The two were always looking out for each other, and have developed a close bond. Jay was always pretty sour and stubborn as a kid, which didn't make it easy for him to be adopted. While Jay was never adopted, Gray was, but his adoptive siblings grew resentful and abusive towards him, turning him into an ill-tempered individual. When they were both seventeen, the apocalypse began, and the two were originally separated. But, through a twist of fate, the two found each other through a safe zone and were reunited. When the safe zone was taken down by zombie hordes, they escaped together and found the abandoned apartment complex that became the group's base.

○ World Context○

Three years ago, the zombie apocalypse started due to a couple workers at a medication manufacturing company called WellnessInc spiking products with a strange drug that they had invented. The drug turned people into living zombies, rendering them pretty much brainless with the urge to kill and infect. The medication causes the skin to rot and die, which in later years caused bone, muscle, and guts to be visible on the zombies. The zombies are also incredibly strong and swift. Sometimes, mold and fungi will also grow on the zombies. Present day, there are some safe zones that are protected by remaining military members, but overall, there's small clusters of survivors here and there. Some will sometimes trade with each other or join groups together, but will also often attack each other for supplies.

Stages of infection: If the neck, face, or head is bitten then the infection will spread in 5 - 10 minutes. If the torso, arm, shoulder, or hand is bitten then the infection will spread in 2 - 8 hours. If the leg or foot is bitten then the infection will spread in 12 - 24 hours. The spread of infection in visible, with skin dying and veins beginning to blacken, so if the bitten limb is able to be cut off quick enough, then the victim can be saved from the infection fully spreading.

○ The Base ○

The group lives in an old, broken down building in Chicago that had previously been a penthouse apartment complex. They had broken down the wall between two of the apartments to turn one of them into a greenhouse, and Milo had managed to hook up a generator to the groups base so that they could have power, listen to music, and watch saved TV shows from way back when. They each have their own rooms, and the apartment as a whole has been decorated to be pretty cozy.
