May edit Hemophoria... Not sure which angle I'd like to take. Either the early stage, where most of the population is uneffected, and the minority is infected. So that plot would be that the government and stuff is trying to hunt them down, and they're fighting back.
The other option was to have the majority of the world be infected (sorta like Daybreakers, the movie) and have the minority be human?? I'd have to change some stuff up for that though. Let me know what you think
When a vampire-like disease breaks lose infecting the human population---giving the infected inhuman strength, speed, endurance, and enhancing senses, ect… the world quickly divides into those who have it and those who don’t. Believing the infected population to be a menace to society, the government decides to wipe them out— extermination.
History:
The Government found this strain of a disease, ancient and lethal. They attempted to make it stronger, add more things to it so that they could use to enhance their soldiers, but there was a problem. All they did was make it harder to control, stranger and stronger; a mutating disease that shortened the lifespan of the infected to 19 years; in other words, a person only had 19 years to live once infected. The disease is carried in the blood, spread through the blood. Once "vampirc" Hemophoric blood gets inside a person, they become infected. And depending on how much blood enters the body, depends on how strong and what effect the disease has on the body, so basically, yes, the disease is contagious.
HRS (Hemophoritic Rebel Systems) is a group of hemophilites. They organize in numbers to battle the government. The leader is unknown, but the Government has labeled him with the name of "V". He battles not just for survival, like most agents, but for supremacy. To rule.
But know this: You always be come infected once hemphoric blood enters your system, which means you will die; you will somtimes become sick for a period of time while changing, and your life will never be the same if you get the disease...
This roleplay takes place in the future (year 2682), where there are still non-floating vehicles, but there are such things as lifters (boards/platforms that lift you off the ground). Things are more advanced as well. In the time that you know, the world is swept with terrorism, but in this futuristic world, people fear the disease.
The scientific name for those who are infected is hemophorites, though people prefer to call it the vampire disease because the disease gives the person two long pointed teeth. The disease also gives most people black eyes because it expands your pupil way beyond normal measure, so most of your eye is black which also gives most people a sensory to light; having such enlarged pupils, but your eyesight becomes extremely good in the dark. So if you're not in the sun, you're usually really pale. Some people are lucky enough not to get enlarged pupils if their disease is a weaker strain. It enhances the body, makes it stronger, faster, more agile. More inhuman. Despite being called the "vampire disease" those infected do not drink blood. The disease also allows for better survival. You need less food, less water, and you can digest practically anything.
The only thing is that if you're infected before you're 12 then you'll die. A body so young can't handle the disease for some reason and you'll die. It's unheard of to have someone so young alive and infected. Usually it's fever, coma to death.
