"Land of the Dead
Home of the Scared"
_
The search for a cure failed. _
Sixteen years after the fall of Aaron Thomas, the evil he left behind sprung up. Monsters and zombies alike hungry and searching for food swam ashore to the mainland of America. The soldiers at Fort Trinity had no hopes of fighting back the immense waves. The military on the west coast failed at containing the outbreak.
But the government was quick into action after having seen what the virus could do sixteen years previously. President Dix Rogers established what he called 'Tenants'.
But even within the safety of the Tenants, evil still lurks. Zombies and monsters are not the only threat to those who have survived. Trials will come ahead that will force them to choose a side between the battle of good vs evil. And the question will arise: "Is the Tenant really safe?"
Important Details
Tenants are large buildings raising sixty stories high. Reinforced by unbreakable material, the tenants were the only safe places for Americans to live. The tenants had everything they needed to survive. But that will come later.
No American could leave the tenants for their own safety as well as for control of the outbreak.
America went down on permanent lockdown to stop the spread of the disease to other countries.
4 tenants were built across the States. One in the mountains of Montana, another in the desolate Arizona desert. One tenant was set in freezing Alaska, and the last in the Appalachian Mountains.
Outside the tenants zombies and monsters roam free, looking for anything that lives (or corpses) to feed on. It's a wasteland. Danger is practically spelled out across every street.
Military and government officials have their own tenant located in Washington, D.C. When something causes for their eye to be caught, they move out in caravans.
There is an electric station posted in Kansas. That is where the tenants get their power. It runs everything in America.
Inside the tenants there are five government workers who run their assigned tenant. These five people run specific sections of the tenant.
There are six sections of the tenant:
The very first floor is where the government workers stay. Anyone can find them there.
Apartments: First twenty stories.
Farming: Second ten stories.
Businesses: Third ten stories.
Irrigation: Fourth ten stories.
And the last, top ten stories. These stories remain a secret as to what goes on up there to the civilians.
Anyone can choose to work in any of these areas to work (one person per apartment must work. Doesn't matter who. Mom, dad, son, daughter, etc. There is no limit to how many can work or where they work) :
Businesses, Farmer, Irrigation worker.
Anyone too old or not able to work can either be 'adopted' into someone's family, or are... taken care of by one of the government workers.
Schedules and Jobs
Business Owners/Workers:
The government overseer is Casey.
These people work on the fourth section of the Tenant. They are to leave their apartment and arrive at the elevator by nine for Casey to unlock the elevator and escort them up to the fourth section.
Their schedule is:
9am: Arrive at elevator.
10am: Open up shop.
1pm: Lunch break. They may choose to stay on the fourth section to get something to eat or return to the elevator for Casey to take a group down to their apartments.
2pm: Return to work. Casey will be waiting at the elevator to take them back up.
6pm: End of work. Return to elevator to be taken back down.
Casey goes across the fourth section at 7 each night to see if anyone is where they're not supposed to be. He will escort anyone back down to their apartment. So if they didn't make it in time to the elevator or decided to stay behind, he will find them.
Note: There are different businesses. Markets, clinics, stores, shoes, etc.
Farmers/hands:
The government overseer is Alec.
These people work on the third section of the Tenant. Farmers can choose to live on their farms or have an apartment. Those who have an apartment are escorted by Alec at 7am to the farms. Each farmer is given ten acres of land and are assigned what to grow. Each farmer is responsible for growing three organics and raising five different breeds of animals at up to 40 animals per breed. The farms are lit up by UV lights from above.
They are responsible for boxing all that they have grown for Alec to take down to the according businesses. At the end of each 'due date', Alec will come by and pick up what the famers have made. Each farmer is welcome to take a share of what they have grown by ten percent.
Their schedule is:
7am: Arrive at elevator/ (if living on a farm) get up
11am: Lunch break. They may choose to stay on the farm to eat, or go down to the businesses or apartments. Alec will escort them by way of elevator.
12pm: Return to work. Alec will arrive on the apartment floor by 12 to escort. 12:15 (because he needs to visit each floor in the apartment section) to escort from the business section. And will take them back up to the farms.
7pm: End of work. Alec will be waiting at elevator to escort back down to the apartments.
7:30pm: Curfew for farmers begins. Anyone caught out past this time will be escorted back to their farm or apartment by Alec.
Irrigation Worker:
The government overseer is Chloe.
These people keep the water free of disease and clean for all living in the Tenant. They fix broken pipes, do plumbing, and work on the fifth section of the Tenant (unless called by someone from the apartment to fix plumbing. By which case, Chloe will escort them.
Their schedule is:
6am: Arrive at elevator.
2:30pm: "Lunch" break. They may go down to the businesses or apartments for lunch. Chloe will escort them.
3:30pm: Return to work.
5pm: End of work. Return to apartments escorted by Chloe.
Apartments:
Government overseer: Spring
Those living in the apartments but have no job may have access to the elevator at these times to access the business section:
9am: escorted by Casey
11am: Alec
1pm: Casey
2:30pm: Chloe
And they can return to their apartments at these times:
12pm: Alec
2pm: Casey
3:30pm: Chloe
6pm: Casey
The elevator has an emergency key on its pad. When pushed by someone in the apartments, Spring will come and assist/escort.
She is responsible for taking care of those living in the apartments and making sure all runs smoothly in the apartments from electricity to plumbing she makes sure all is operating accordingly. Out of all overseers, she takes most care and interest of the civilians.
The floor that is easiest to access is the overseer floor which anyone can get by way of stairs from the apartments or by pressing the code
2489 into the elevator's passcode pad. The elevator will take them directly to the overseers as well as the stairs. The stairs only are available on the apartment levels and lead to any level of the apartments or to the overseer's level. They do not lead to the businesses, farms, etc.
If a farmer living on the farms needs to speak to an overseer or see them, they can press the same code above into the elevator.
Basically, in order to operate the elevator, a civilian must be escorted by one of the government overseers. Some of the overseers are a lot easier to ask for favors than others. Each overseer has something in common which is why they were chosen for the job they were given despite age.
Other Important Stuff
As mutants were released and freed, they began to mate with humans. Their offspring became known as Hybrid. Hybrids cannot contract the zombie nor monster virus. But there is another side to them. Hybrids seem completely human, aside from a special power they obtain. When the other side of them is provoked, they become similar to a monster. The effects can wear off from anywhere between minutes to hours before they return 'human' again.
When mutants and mutants bred together, their offspring became known as 'purebred'. These ones cannot contract the zombie virus, but can contract the monster virus just as the other mutants can. They have an ability just as a mutant does.
When the zombies and monsters came ashore there seemed like there would be little hope. Time was fading fast and they could only do so much before the barrier in Utah came down. During the time that the barrier was up, the government built four Tenants and evacuated Americans into them.
It was hard becoming accustomed to living in the Tenants. But soon it would just become like normal life again. Except for there was no outside to get to.
You should know this
In bold I will make an effort to post the times and current status of the elevator because of the schedule layout to this RP.
I will either do it in my writing or at the bottom of my posts with a format looking something "similar" to like this:

This may begin slowly to build character development, etc. But it does quickly pick up pace after a little while.
