News report, Spring 2019

“Police were shocked when, arriving at the scene of a 911 call, they found the victim passed out, his arm almost chewed off, and his attacker laying nearby, dead from a gunshot to the head and several to the torso. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. He has yet to come to. Doctors are uncertain if he will survive the attack and doubt if he will be in any condition to explain the events that transpired if he ever comes to.”

The story was given little attention after that. Not many people bothered to think on it beyond shaking their heads and offering generic mutters of how violent society was getting and a few prayers for the victim. It got a singular follow-up on the news station, announcing that they victim had died two days later, having never woken up. The next day, however, another story broke, saying that an unknown assailant had, at some point in the night, broken into the hospital and attacked two doctors working in the morgue, along with several nurses and patients. No information was given on the nature of the attacks, and after the initial report, it was never mentioned again. After a couple of days, the story was, like the one before it, all but forgotten.

Those stories weren’t the only ones. Stories of more attacks were being passed around, mostly by word of mouth. Few gave them any heed, thinking they were just rumors, possibly exaggerated tales meant to scare or provoke. Some described the attackers as street thugs, some as crazy homeless people. A few went as far as calling them monsters. The only thing that matched from story to story was the method of attack; according to the various sources, the attackers were attempting, almost singularly, to bite their victims.
What nobody mentioned was the fact that each successful bite landed the victim in the hospital.

What nobody noticed was that each of these victims died soon after being admitted, from an infection.
What nobody would admit was that each of the attackers had previously been a victim.
One who’d died.

Barely two weeks after the initial news story, all hell broke loose. With the incidents being largely ignored, few people were aware of just how widespread the attacks were until it was too late. The cities were overrun, and people had no way of knowing what was truly going on. No one knew that the attackers were dead. No one knew the only way to truly kill them was to destroy the brain.

No one knew that once you were bit, you were done.

And because no one knew, it was only a matter of time before there were more dead than living. Society collapsed. People panicked. More died. More reanimated. Until there was nothing left to do but survive.

Anyone Can Die is a semi-literate all-OC zombie survival roleplay. The roleplay storyline is broken up into 'seasons' with specific plots. Each season, the moderators will randomly select up to half the cast (though usually less) to die that season. The deaths of selected characters will be plotted out by the members with the option of working with mods to contribute to the season's plot. The only way to save a character is to offer up another to die in their place. If you are not willing to subject your characters to the chance of randomly-selected death, this is not the roleplay for you.
