Okay- So listen up. This isn't really a 'romance' persay. More of an action and drama vibe. We would play as the husband and wife of the story, who also have a child. There can be intimate scenes, I guess, but that's not really the focus of the story. Of course, this couple would do anything for each other and their child, so keep that in mind.

The world our characters are in is plagued with a blood-borne virus. Some are immune, some aren't, those who aren't have to worry about getting the virus, those who are have to worry about getting killed by the infected. Essentially no one is safe. The virus (transmitted by infected blood coming in contact with non-immune blood, bites, etc) turns it's host into a bloodthirsty monster. The host is still conscious and can fully comprehend what the virus is making them do. The longer you resist the urge, the crazier and hungrier you get. The cure is still unknown, and it's doubtful that it will arrive any time soon.

Our characters and their child are on the road, trying to find somewhere to hunker down for a while. (Maybe one of the characters has an illness, or 'disability' that requires a lot of pit stops) They stumble across a house and upon investigating it, they discover people live there. Now, people are a touchy subject. Most have adapted and gathered together to fight alongside one another, and some have decided to stay in solitude. It's very unknown for an infected person or persons to be able to hide the virus. All seems safe upon introduction. Our characters are led into a false sense of security, thinking they've finally found a safe place for the time being until they fix the car.

However, one night, one of the two decided to go to their car to retrieve something (maybe it broke down a ways from the home) and find that the tires were slashed. A red flag raises for the character and they are shocked to find their s'o and child missing when they get back. Frantically searching, the character that found the car (will refer to as 'A') finds their s/o and child have been locked in the basement. A gets them out, after a good struggle, and they make a break for it. Though, one of them gets seperated, thinking it'd be best if they went a different path. A and their child are left together as they follow down a different way, separated by a long fence. Just when the other gets out and looks back with a relieved face, a sharp object plunges through their chest.

Honestly- It's just kind of a 'starting' idea. Obviously that character can live and there's some sort of side character one of us could play, or something along those lines, but I don't know. It seems like something that can be expanded upon and such. This would probably start out a bit slower, just to get an idea for our characters, they could possibly stay at this home for a while before anything happens (which would be whenever we feel it needs to be spiced up).

If you're interested, please send and add and READ my rules. Like seriously, read them or I won't accept you.
