The Plague

## Description

The Blood Rage Plotline is the first official Final Chapter Plotline! This Plotline revolves around the reactions of the RPers taking part. The Plotline will run in several event-style "chapters" or episodes, were key events towards the final outcome will happen. Inbetween Plotline events, RP revolving around the Plotline is allowed, but the story will not progress much inbetween events.

## Story

An outsider who had contracted the deadly disease known as the "Blood Cough" where the person who has it starts out with small symptoms that increase drastically leading to death, eventually wanders into Final Chapter unknowingly. This disease is very contagious and begins to spread rapidly among native Final Chapter groups. Soon people within each group begin to hack up blood from their lungs and panic begins to spread. Though there is one group with 1 educated elder who is familiar with the same exact Plague back in ancient Edo Period. Soon he saw what was happening, and began passing on these teachings to the other Shamans in his group, constantly struggling over making Serums. Stubbornly he kept the Serum to himself incase one of his comrades contracted it within his kin, but something causes him to open his eyes. As all groups struggle with survival, several hair-raising and sudden deaths, soon the disease accumulates to Blood Rage, where the victim uncontrollably kills all that come in its path. Amounts of prey begin to thin. In the midst of it all, it begins with a single oracle, past the scorching rocks and into the crescent lies a single pool.

## Event Rules

1. PLEASE NO METAGAMING: The outcomes of certain events are known by you OOC long before they occur, please do not metagame and make your character know more than they should. This event will be NO fun if everyone automatically blames Balto for having a cure and not sharing. We have to let the story flow naturally. This is the biggest issue in most plotlines.
2. PLEASE DO NOT ONLY RP FOR YOURSELF: This is a PLOTLINE, this is meant to be fun for everyone. Roll a redshirt character if your character is not involved in a certain chapter, thank the Redshirts, they are going out of their way to make sure you have people to kill. Participate in the plotline, no one likes characters that just stand around like poopy-heads.
3. NO POWERPLAYING OR GODMODDING- General rules, if your character is hurt in battle, expect them to at least not be able to fight at the best of their ability. This is basic RP etiquette, please do not make this an issue.
