And shepherds we shall be...
I think this goes here.
This is Earth in an alternate steampunk reality. We never improved much into the post-industrial society, staying in a more Victorian setting. Cancer, however, was still a problem to be taken seriously. In response, the government put together a team of scientists to not only cure cancer, but prevent anyone from ever getting it again. They announce it to the public August 1st of the year 270. A week later, families are gathered around their radios, listening to a live broadcast as ships fly over cities, releasing the airborne cure. At first, people celebrate. Then, more than half the population starts acting… off. They stop responding to people. They grunt, and moan, and their skin is sickly pale as they wander around, seemingly with no goal in mind. It takes about a month of this before they begin hunting down anyone who wasn’t affected.
Any survivors have noticed… The cure didn’t get rid of cancer. Anyone who has it still has it or had it was unaffected by the “cure.” The cure was released all over the world, but there are some who were lucky enough to have been out of range, whether they hid in bomb shelters or the cure simply didn’t travel far enough, only they know.
There are gangs, or groups of survivors across the world. They’ve become violent and afraid, shooting anyone they can, out of fear that they could be one of the Affected. Any civilized society has fallen, overrun by the Affected, or gangs that roam the world… Survivors must survive.
I've put together a Discord server, as I feel it's more reliable than a thread, and much easier to use.
If you're interested, we'd love to have you!
Also, if you've got any questions, feel free to ask~
