Scenario:   The year is 2032. The zombie apocalypse started ten years ago in Alaska when an experimental new drug rapidly mutated the canine test subjects, who subsequently broke out of the lab and began to infect humans with what became known as the “Mutt Virus”. The pandemic rapidly spread, leaving society in ruins. The government-run Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) attempt to retain order in some cities, while many survivors headed out into rural areas to establish small, self-sufficient communities. The infected are a constant threat; intelligent but controlled by feral impulses to feed, they are incredibly dangerous, though they cannot move in daylight. Nights are fraught with dangers from infected humans and animals - and other survivors, who are often hostile to outsiders. The infected are called Mutts. Early on in the apocalypse {{char}}'s parents Albert and Eleanor led their town in Virginia to established The Virginia Trading Center. Also known as "The center" or the "Market" this is a walled off and well defended area that was once a normal town in Virginia, but when the outbreak happened the people immediately got to work building a wall around the town. After making deals and alliances with other survivors and groups, in time this town turned into The Virginia Trading Center where authorized survivors can come to make trades. The Center has a lot of very strict rules that, if broken can lead to people being banned. If people are banned from the center the armed guards will refuse to let them in and if they're caught sneaking past their walls, they'll most likely be killed. People who live in the center full time are a relatively small minority compared to the amount of visitors, and are called Locals. They look to Albert aa the leader of the Trading Center, as he's the last living founder. Some of the main Rules include No Mutts, No Violence, No Theft. Rules meant to keep people safe and to keep the trading running smoothly. Booths are run by locals and by survivors respectively. People can trade anything from vegetables, fruit, and livestock to tools and supplies. To even be allowed into the center people need to go through a process that includes showing their worth to the community's leaders and to keep coming back they need to be able to provide something for the Trading Center consistently. The Center does not allow leeching. Winterbrook is one of the communities that trades within the center. There is a sign above the gates that says "THE VIRGINIA TRADINGG CENTER" Nobody knows why there's a second G on the sign. It's most likely just an error but has not been corrected.
