Welcome to Plagued! We are an original zombie roleplay forum with a twist! On this active zombie survival forum, we accept players of all different skill levels, and have a grand variety of character types and locations to explore.
It's been over three years since the dead began to rise, and an overwhelming force of demonic enemies are running rampant in the streets. The population of undead are growing and constantly on the move, but can humanity survive such a deadly plague? Or is it already too late?

The Necropolis is a Gothic-styled Cathedral that was raised from seemingly nowhere into the heart of the City. It's large stained-glass windows depict scenes of horror and carnage while the black marble shines in the light like a beacon of death. The Necropolis serves as the meeting place of all Overmind.
There are plenty of dead bodies for the Lessers to feast upon. Some people are still alive in the city, but their numbers are small, for more and more die each day. Overminds populate the area as well as Vampyres, both of them constantly against the other. There are some hideouts for each species including Humans, but most humans find themselves trying to escape and make it to the much fabled Safe Haven. The undead thrive here.
Once a place full of fun, games, and entertainment, Gregory Falls Theme Park is now crawling with Lessers. The rides are still and quiet. Blood stains the concession stands and the giant clown at the entrance seems more sinister than welcoming. Every once and a while, however, for whatever reason, the lights of the entire Theme Park will turn on and the rides will begin to move. Music will play over the speakers. The reason why is still unknown and the caretaker behind it is still a mystery. (Your character can interact with the Caretaker as an NPC. It is a rogue human. He is incredibly insane and he doesn't trust anyone. You can take it from there.)
Containing the strongholds of the numerous races. It is not safe for anyone, but those who dare to venture on the front line often make their stand here.
The street that was once famous for its vast variety of shops now lies in ruins with dead, rotting bodies riddling the sidewalks and streets. It once stretched down with such authority and wonder, but now it's a dangerous and zombie-ruled area. Come here if you wish to go on a killing spree of Lessers, but chances are you won't get out alive. There are places where people hide, but there are so few.
Now dingy and shattered, the hospital has broken bottles and rotting corpses. There are a few stashes of medicine still lying around the place, but you have to look very hard as well as break into things.
Once a bustling mode of transportation, the train station is now riddled with Lessers. They roam almost as if out of habit. A train sits in the station, the last one to ever transport people from destination to another. Bodies rot inside the train, evidence that people were trapped inside with the walking dead. Although it is a very dangerous place to be, valuable scraps of metal and reusable resources can be scavenged here.
Beneath the city of Fork York, there was once one of the most sophisticated underground transportation systems in the country. Some think that’s one of the reasons it fell so quickly to the zombies. With the constantly moving of people, Overminds and Reavers had little difficult traveling from one part of the city to another. The subway linked two of the most densely populated areas (along with other parts of the city): 4th Street and Main Street. The subway is still operational if you know how to use mechanics.
Gary is the man behind the scenes of the bar. This man has a stock hold of all kinds of alcoholic beverages. The doors are always locked but he opens up to anyone who looks human. He has the place fortified to keep Lessers away, but because it's in the Middle Grounds, there aren't many undead around. He trades alcoholic drinks for anything he considers valuable. People often come to get a sense of what life used to be like.
This was once the hot spot for any kind of theater. It was no Broadway, but it was able to holds its own in memorable performances. Now the curtains are torn and the wood of the stage rotted. Some people say the actors still roam the stage, hungry for flesh.
Once a place of great learning, the Library was one of the most prestigious in the whole country, but now it is little more then a ruin. The Library was once the shelter of the Raiders, and was fortified by them. In recent months, the Library was attacked and destroyed by Gregory Slade, and now stands only a burned-up ruin where countless lesser corpses remain. There are few salvageable weapons to be found here, but any raiders who find you here will attack on-sight.
There are a few Lessers wandering around, but there aren't many, for it is the middle ground. Small animals such as ducks, squirrels, and birds still live here as if nothing in the world has changed. There a placid pond in the middle and there are still a few row boats that used to be rented out along the shore.
Once a heavy traffic spot, the York Royal Bridge is now riddled with abandoned and crashed cars. Even if you were to find a working car, getting if off the bridge is impossible. There is no way to navigate the bridge except by walking across it, which isn’t always the best plan. The bridge is often a war zone with people from both sides of the war trying to cross it. Overminds and Reavers often use the bridge as an ambush point, for it is easy to catch humans and Vampyres and corner them. There is no way off the bridge when trapped except by jumping.
This was once an area of activity. Trades and deals and simple businessmen often got their material through exports. Now, the water is still and quiet. Some ships are still chained to the dock, many are floating aimlessly in the water just off shore or crashed into the concrete embankment. Rogues are drawn here for the possible supplies, and the dead are drawn here for the living not clever enough to escape.
Adjacent to the Shipping Docks, the warehouses were once places where evil-doers came to settle business problems. It was run by the prominent mob. Now, the warehouses are dirty, filled with broken crates and random objects lying around. Traces of rogues and some looted goods are ripe for the picking in this human hotspot.
Once a place of congregation and worship, St. Peter's Church now lies in ruins. The pews are tossed about and barred against windows when people attempted to keep out the abominations in a futile attempt. Some say the zombie priest still roams the church.
Riverwood was built in 1806 to accommodate the needs of the high society that resided in Fort York at the time. With a total number of 105 rooms, only the richest of the rich could afford a night here. Haunted by the spirits and lost souls of boys and girls that found their demise in this place. During the night, whispers can be heard from the top floor, on weekends you can still listen to the music playing and the people dancing happily. Reavers, Overminds and Vampyres entering this building lose all their special abilities including their strength and speed. The ghosts here are mostly hostile and they do no appreciate intruders.
Stretches beyond the Safe Haven and onward, this dry, cracked and dusty area is a death sentence to anyone traveling unprepared. Lessers have trouble crossing the plains, which is why there are so few near the Safe Haven, because they end up starving to death.
Heavily guarded underground facility with doors that have proven to be unbreakable even against a horde of Lessers. The area surrounding the entrance is generally deserted and there are very few Lessers roaming around. The Overminds have no knowledge (yet) of this facility.
This is a wooded area in which some animals still live. This is a common place for Vampyres to come and hunt, although the flesh of animals do not satiate them as well. It is a few miles away from Safe Haven on the opposite side of the rest of Fort York, so Vampyres do not have to share this territory with Overminds.
The lightly-populated rural area of Fort York has since died out. The small area has since become silent and eerie. Very few Lessers wander about in this area, although those few killed off most of the livestock, leaving only carcasses to rot.
The paper mill, being so foul-smelling, was placed far away from Fort York so as not to disturb the citizens. However, it was a popular place for the small blue collar community of Fort York to work. It has since become something of a haven for the undead.
Hidden deep in the forests beyond Fort York, this great subterranean maze twists and turns in a mess of passages and caverns which lead far from the light of day. Those that wander these dark realms are more likely to fall prey to precipitous falls and slippery stone than to the undead however that is not to say that their steps might not be dogged by some vicious and dangerous monsters. Beware, these ever shifting passages are not easy to navigate; most that enter never return.
Marshlands and dense forests surround the O'Connor plantation. A prestigious estate on the borderlands of Fort York and the farmlands, this area remains a hot-spot for lessers and wild animals to congregate. The manor grounds are littered with the remains of both the living and the dead, the house rotting away from the flooding swamplands and un-sturdy foundation. Few humans dare to venture here, but overminds and reavers seem to appreciate the dark surroundings of the area.
In the furthest reaches of the city outskirts lies the airplane scrapyard. The city's airport served millions of travelers over the many long years it ran, and this junkyard became littered with many discarded aircrafts that served their purpose well. This place is considered a goldmine for scrap metal and mechanical parts, and as such has been visited by plenty of safe haven's dignitaries over the years to collect what what they believe will help them survive. Although it is a far trip to reach the scrapyard, it is beyond the limits of the city; therefore little undead have been known to linger.
