D.N.A. - The Island
YEAR 2032
Years have passed since the first signs of the outbreak occurred, Heros and Tyrants have come and gone. The world has become a desolate place, filled with evil men. Realizing that the undead or zombies if you will... cannot travel on or over water, the smart ones took to the seas.
Opening the door for piracy, mercenaries, killers for hire and all manner of horrendous acts to go unchecked or punished. It was much easier to live on boats, only coming to land when in need of supplies.... or worse.... Lives.... A lucrative business arose, resembling days of years past when slavery and torture were an acceptable practice. The age of the Pirate was reborn.
Commandeering of large ships once used for the transport of precious goods have now been turned into floating slave camps. Using the manpower of the unfortunate wretches that they have captured the pirates force them on land to gather their resources, killing all who disobey them. Sending them into the heart of the zombie infestation not caring for their lives only their own and feeding their greed for gold and goods.
Often attacking other large ships, these pirates have become especially adept at punishing all that cross their paths. Led by a man named Walii, they are constantly in search of weapons and more unturned humans to capture and enslave. All the while fighting with those that seek peace, justice and a return to a normal life.
On one such attack they met an opponent that was as strong as them, rendering their ship useless and a floating husk off of the coast of some unknown island. A large explosion opened a huge gash on the hull of the ship allowing the slaves to escape.... Some drowned, some were shot and killed while trying to escape. But a few hardened souls managed to get away, finding themselves trapped on a large island.
A strange place, all but deserted and empty. There are signs of an old military presence on the island, and a mystery deeper than anyone would ever want to go. Something evil permeates the air, a sense of dread within the trees, and the feeling of eyes watching.... waiting....
What lurks in the darkest of corners? Keeping even the bravest of men up at night, more than fear.... more than just death.... something evil creeps up the spine of every soul that places foot on this god forsaken chain of islands. Something unnatural grows from within the belly of the volcano that rises above the clouds, and the sounds of screeching beasts can be heard in the distance tracking their prey....
With no choice but to move forward and seek a safe place to lay their heads, these former slaves turned refugee are on their own to face the unseen horrors that scream in the night. Hoping to forge a new life, away from the chains, and the beatings. Trusting no one, on an endless quest for survival.
