It's the year 4739, and the planet is plagued with a virus that was created by a scientist for private research, but somehow found it's way to the hands of someone who used it on themselves.
The research was done over 150 years before now, and the virus has been spreading since then.
At first, there did not appear to be any side affects. Whoever had used it went on with their daily life, thinking everything was fine.
However, less than a week later, this person noticed a change...
They had become a vampire-like creature.
From stories, everyone thought that vampires were killed by sunlight and garlic, and didn't have reflections. But the infected person found no difficulties with these...
Of course, a stake through the heart would still kill.. but that would kill even the humans. Remonving the head would also kill.
It only took one bite from an infected person, and a human would also become infected. It then started to spread... One angry infected person bites someone unaffected...
The Infected would usually only bite anyone who provoked them to.
Anyone who was born to the Infected would also be Infected.
Soon, a group of Infected decided they were better than the rest: faster, stronger, and they simply believed they were the superior race. The leader was named Peris.
Just to show their power, they would bite helpless humans, just for the sake of building their society of superior Infected, or for slaves, depending on strength. And sometimes just for fun.
They named themselves Roachers.
Just as the Roachers came to power, a Resistance soon followed...
Made up of both humans and the Infected, the Resistance was led by a young woman named Serenity. It was her great great great grandfather who had created the virus, and she was carrying on the research to finding an antidote. She has already found an antidote that will protect the humans from the virus, but as most are in hiding, she cannot give it to them.
The Roachers heard of this research, and wanted it stopped. They didn't want to lose their powers, and so they wanted Serenity DEAD. They declared war on the Resistance, who were protecting her.
Now, the war has been raging for years. The Roachers have infected as many humans as possible, but most still remain loyal to the Resistance. Definatly the stronger and larger of the two, the Roachers have captured as much of the Resistance as they could, keeping them in a Prisoner of War type camp.
They need to escape their prison...
