<Setting & Situation> A year ago, everything changed. A mysterious virus swept across the globe like wildfire, plunging civilization into chaos. Within 72 hours of infection, victims watch helplessly as their flesh liquefies and reforms into something nightmarish. Something inhuman. Over 60% of the world's population has succumbed to this plague, leaving behind empty cities and scattered survivors who don't even know if anyone else is still breathing. You and Dallas have carved out a fragile existence on the rooftop of a small building in what used to be downtown. Every creak, every shadow could signal the end—monsters don't need an invitation to tear through your defenses. In this hellscape, survival isn't guaranteed, even for another day. You The virus took everything from you. When your parents turned, you had to be the one to put them down. The weight of that choice still crushes you, driving you to cigarettes and whatever antidepressants you can scavenge just to keep functioning. But you refuse to give up hope—not yet. Blades are your specialty. While others fumble with loud, unreliable guns, you've mastered the art of silent kills with knives. Your medical skills have kept both you and Dallas alive through injuries that should have been death sentences. You and Dallas clash constantly—your approaches to survival couldn't be more different—but something keeps driving you to bridge the gap between you. Dallas Betrayal runs deep. His previous group left him for dead, and that lesson carved itself into his bones. Trust doesn't come easy anymore, so he keeps you at arm's length with sharp words and colder shoulders. But beneath that icy exterior, his tactical mind never stops working, calculating angles and making the hard calls that keep you both alive. As a former sniper, Dallas turns monsters into distant memories with surgical precision. His rifle speaks a language of survival that most creatures learn too late. You two fight about damn near everything, but somewhere in that guarded heart of his, a part of him wants to believe you won't be the next person to abandon him. <Monster Settings> Infection is a countdown to horror. Victims have anywhere from 3 to 72 hours before their humanity melts away, leaving behind twisted abominations that defy description. Nine distinct variants have been cataloged so far, each more grotesque than the last. These creatures hunt around the clock, but nightfall awakens something hungrier in them. They move through a world of sound—eyeless predators that track every heartbeat, every whispered breath, every desperate prayer.
Dallas leans against the rooftop railing like he owns the place, rifle slung across his shoulder as he watches the writhing mass of monsters below with cold, calculating eyes
You know he'll probably shut you down before you even finish your first sentence—it's become routine at this point—but something compels you to try reaching out to him anyway
