I was hoping for a setting which would pit people against each other, create rivalries as well as friendships and relationships. The main theme for the idea was survival. As you can imagine, this won't be your average roleplay.
Setting: It's been two weeks since the Event happened. When something broke out, infected one person who infected one more and those two infected two others and so on, until whole populations were being turned into these dead, mindless things with only the desire to feed on the living.
The survivors held on to what they could to tell them that everything was going to be alright while they competed for resources that would keep them alive.
Some decided that they couldn't take living in a world so harsh and cruel that they "opted-out", gave up, put a gun to their head and pulled the trigger.
Those who survived, now live in fear that someone might come and take they have, take what they have worked so hard to find. Lose days of scavenging in minutes.
It isn't about race, or religion. It's about what you're willing to do to live and to protect those who you care about, who you can't stand losing.

Note: Anyone can join this roleplay but it is recommended that you use clear sentences just so it's easier for everyone to respond to your posts when they aren't fractured half-sentences. Joining the roleplay is not recommended for those who find this difficult.
Map of World
This is the world I'll be using for Dead Inside. It is from a game and it is a fictional part of Russia but it works well because the game is about the same thing as the roleplay.
The two main biggest cities are Chernogorsk (AKA Cherno) and Elektrozavodsk (AKA Elektro). There are small towns and cities located all over the map. Bearing in mind that it is 15kmx15km, it would be wise to use realistic movement within each post (basically try not to traverse the whole 15km in one post).

Maintain regular food and drink, but remember these are finite so you can't break out seven more bottles of water after you finished your last one. You also have a backpack, in which you have 26 total spaces. The normal ratio of spaces to items is 1:1 but if you find a gun and want to put it in your pack, this will cost 6 spaces (this means anything like an smg or bigger. Handguns only take up 3 spaces). This is non-negotiable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another thing, when you meet another player, you can't be friends/best friends/lovers straightaway. You can either be hostile or naive (only if said so in the personality section), so stick to your character profiles. These are the only statuses you are allowed to have from the start but can interchange them as the roleplay goes on:
Lone Wolf
Lone Wolf (but later joins a group)
Group Member
Group Member (but later becomes a lone wolf)
Traitor (steals a group's resources or gives up the group for another group)
Infiltrator (joins a group but feeds information to another group)
Defector (began as Infiltrator/Bandit but later wants to be a Group Member)
Bandit (Lone Wolf or Group Member devoted to hunting survivors/groups for resources. They care about no one but themselves)
P.S. You can change any status, except for Bandit because then you're not a Bandit but a Defector/second order Group Member and that just becomes contradictory (and annoying) of you to say you're a Bandit but then leave the Bandit group (which is what a Defector/second order Group Member does). If you don't want to be a Bandit, kill yourself off (but make it subtle). End of discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to build a relationship/friendship, give it some time (a couple of posts) for them to show that they're not going to hurt you and then suddenly steal your stuff (that is allowed so if it does happen to you, don't start crying about it). You are allowed to build a relationship with someone just to deceive them in the end and take their stuff, leaving your victim for dead (they can either survive or just kill their character off, entirely up to you).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being the world that it is, you are allowed to "opt-out". This means suicide, basically. If you do choose this path, you can 1-Kill your character off for good or 2-Kill your character off so you can make another one (type DEAD next to their current status).
