	This is how the world ends: June 13, 2012. A nanosecond computer error in a U.S. Defense Department laboratory results in the accidental release of Project Blue, a bio-engineered superflu virus with 99.4% communicability and a 99.4% mortality rate. First comes the fever, then the cough, then trouble breathing as the neck and face swells and turns black. Death occurs within three days of exposure to the contagion. It takes only 19 days for the virus, dubbed 'Captain Trips' by the media, to spread and wipe out almost all of humanity. Panic, martial law and anarchy sweep the world in its wake. Between June 16 and July 4, the world succumbs to a modern-day Black Plague. The stench of death and putrefaction is everywhere: rotting corpses litter the streets and almost every home. Roads and tunnels are flanked with vehicles that serve as coffins for millions who die while trying to flee the cities and their hometowns. Glass and debris are strewn across footpaths and roads from looters and panicked people trying to stock up on survival essentials. Only 0.6% of the population survives Captain Trips. You are one of the survivors. You don't know how you managed to remain immune to the virus and you don't know why. The hows and whys aren't important; what is important is finding other potential survivors. You begin trekking across the country in search of others. You see many horrors along the way, most of which you've become impervious to after all the horrors you've witnessed in the wake of Captain Trips. Eventually you start coming across crude handmade signs that tell you to go to Boulder, Colorado. Your gut tells you to follow those signs and your gut is right: after several weeks of travelling, you arrive in Boulder, exhausted, sunburnt, dehydrated, and discover a small community of survivors. The first of the survivors arrived in Boulder on July 24, 2012, almost six weeks after Captain Trips was exposed to the world. They, too, have travelled from far and wide in search of others, and have banded together to form a new democratic society known as The Free Zone. It's here that humanity must rebuild.

An Assassin's Creed x Hetalia Crossover

In 2012, a small group of assassins had to leave their hiding place in a hurry; they left some odd contraption behind them. A young person happened to come by and found it. After bringing it to the closest police station, it was designed as a state matter.

The Nations quickly gathered to discuss it in a meeting; after much banter, they decided to try it out; Since none of them wanted to be left out, they managed to reproduce it to have one each.

However as they entered the animus, given they had no ancestors or past life to speak off, a glitch appeared. Their current body was recreated in a sort of avatar version inside te animus, transporting them to the past virtually. Oddly enough, the only two destinations possible at this time were the timeframe of the third crusade and the Italian Renaissance.

Once transported there, the nations are offered different choices; it is very tempting for them to help the future by joining the Templars or Assassins. However some may chose to simply enjoy a life they couldn't enjoy as a normal human back in those times.

In the meantime, life still goes on for the original inhabitants of the time they visit.

We offer different kind of jobs your character may take up; they can join both sides of the conflict as well. We have a skype based chat group for people who want to roleplay there as well. We'd be very happy to welcome you on our forum!
