Plot & Lore:
The plot of Asylum is a reasonably generic zombie apocalypse type of deal, drawing inspiration from the Anderson movies where we saw the T-virus almost entirely consume the human population of Earth.
In the Asylum universe, the events of resident evil 5 and all games onward did not occur. Instead, the T-veronica virus outbreak in South America was not contained. T-veronica became a national crisis due to the spread of this virus around the continent via plants and insects, who proved to be potent carriers as creatures highly susceptible to T-veronica due to the virus initially being derived from such organisms.
Tricell, with the help of Excella Gionne and Albert Wesker, engineered yet another monster virus, dubbed the Uroborus. On paper, this virus was engineered to combat the outbreak of T-veronica. The idea was to release Uroboros into T-veronica infected areas and let this virus absorb and neutralise the epidemic of T-veronica, believing that Urobous would simply absorb itself once it ran out of material to consume.
This was a fine idea on paper; however, upon execution, Urobous proved to be more resilient and adaptable than initially thought. The trail became a grievous error, and soon enough, Uroborus became a more significant issue than T-Veronica itself.
The exact details of this are unknown, covered up and erased by Tricell, Blue Umbrella and various government efforts worldwide due to their participation and approval of Urobous release. Therefore, whether Urobous release was merely a trial gone wrong or if the disastrous effects had been anticipated and withheld is also unknown.
What is known is that the only organisms who showed some resistance to Urobous are the communities of Plaga infected humans. A pact between the remains of humanity and the Plaga has come into effect due to their opposition to a common enemy and a shared need for survival. (edited) After twelve years, most of the globe has been consumed by Uroboros. Human settlements are few and far between, and many see humans living in relative "harmony" with Plaga infected communities. The most significant, secure, and well-known population of uninfected-humans reside in the heavily fortified city known as "Asylum."
Some say embracing the Plaga is the only way forward for the survival of both species. In contrast, others are perfectly content with keeping their individuality and feel will, supporting only the current arrangement of ally-ship between human and Plaga infected communities.
With most of the world's governments dissolved, Blue Umbrella, a former American private military organisation, is primarily considered to have merged with Tricell, a multi-industrial conglomerate, who were both fashioned as critical players in the war against the viral outbreaks.
This merger is dubbed "Blucell", and the entity it has become serves as a substitute for government and military in Asylum and across most remaining human populations.
LORE TIDBITS: In regards to B.O.Ws: Many of the most successful B.O.Ws of the Umbrella era have been cloned and reprogrammed. These B.O.Ws (Hunters and Tyrants most commonly) work as protectors of Asylum City. These B.O.Ws patrol the city and its outskirts to attack and neutralise threats. As a result, Hunters and Tyrants such as the T-103 model make up a bulk of what would be considered Ayslum's equivalent of a military/police force. While the city still has humans who function similarly (e.g., police/military), the B.O.Ws are on the front line against "outside" threats. More animalistic B.O.Ws like those in the Hunter series rarely leave the city outskirts, while T-03 and other advanced model Tyrants can often be found deeper into the city, working with human partners to ensure "peace and security" on the city streets. "Personal protection units" (Essentially B.O.W bodyguards) are also standard alongside the most wealthy / "important" residents of Asylum city. (Think Sergei Vladimir and his "Ivans" for reference). Regarding the city itself: ASYLUM is a massive, fortress-like city located somewhere in what was once Europe. It is one of the few remaining human settlements on Earth, though not the only one. ASYLUM is, however, considered the most significant / largest and most secure. This is due to being the base of operations for BLUCELL, one of the most powerful agencies on this version of Resident Evil's Earth. Blucell is the merger of Blue Umbrella and Tricell. Blucell is the multinational conglomerate love child of Albert Wesker and Excella Gionne's scheming turned pseudo-government megastructure upon the gradual fall and assimilation of most Earth's actual governments. BLUCELL typically controls most of ASYLUM CITY. The city itself, on the surface, is considered somewhat utopian. B.O.Ws have made human's lives comfortable and easy; however, all is not as it seems. . . There is cruelty in all mercy. In regard to "deceased" characters: There are two ways in which you can come at 'deceased' characters in this verse. You're welcome to apply your own canon divergence detailing how the character survived their death if you have anything in particular in mind for them, or you're welcome to utilise Umbrella's cloning technology to bring them back from the dead. The reasons for their cloning will be left up to personal interpretation or kept vague based on preference. You're always welcome to plot out further scenarios and "divergence" with other server members, which you can add to your character profile page for future reference. The same can be said about any character whose games and events take place POST Resident Evil 4-5. You can create similar scenarios for your muses to what we've seen to happen in their canons to result in their infections or statuses remaining the same/similar to what we saw in their canon, OR you can take an entirely different route with your muse and add completely AU elements to them. You also have the option of plotting out various scenarios based on your own personal preference/interpretation with other server members. MISC: Not all humans live together within "cities." Smaller communities of humans with their own strongholds/hideouts exist throughout the jungle/apocalyptic lands. Obviously, these humans are often at higher risk of being attacked and killed by the monsters that now infest the world. These humans are typically marauders of smaller/less protected settlements. Keep in mind the denser the population of humans once was, the more monsters/creatures will now be present in their place. Rural areas have fewer monsters/creatures. However, humans who lived rurally had to become self-sufficient or migrate/evacuate to cities for greater protection/resources. Los Illuminados essentially functions the same as how it did in their initial appearance. To combat invaders and outside infected (and/or humans), militant ganados guard the perimeters of all Los Illuminados territory. Villagers and their farm tools were not enough to combat the virus-infected that lurk within the ravaged jungles and woods across Europe. Although they have an alliance with "humans" (if you could call it that), they do not make negotiations lightly. Exchanges of medical supplies, food, weapons, etc, will ALWAYS have a cost: most being blood and flesh, the parasites life force. Deaths of individuals are not required (you can add in NPC's any time!); any appropriate drops/amounts of sustenance will prove swell for negotiations. Los Illuminados lives upon sacrifice, and any appropriate sacrifice will do to create deals/commit trade / allow housing/negotiations/etc. Humans and non-BOW should not linger in the hiveminds territory for long, as they are drawn to devour/assimilate all non-Las Plagas related organisms.

RULES & GUDELINES:
Please be aware that RESIDENT EVIL: ASYLUM is a Resident Evil Server. Resident Evil is a very high impact horror-based franchise that deals with a lot of dark, heavy, complicated, and even political themes. Do not join this server if you are easily triggered by dark, complicated and heavy subjects and please do not join this server if you cannot distinguish IC from OOC. You are not permitted to accuse any writers of promoting or supporting any beliefs or behaviours of the characters in this server no matter how masterfully they are able to write from their character's perspective. Everything in this server is typical to and fundamental to the Resident Evil franchise, it is not cooked up and inserted to serve an outside agenda or because the writers personally condone or believe in it. Keep this in mind at all times.
Subjects essential to the franchise that may be triggering include: Violence, gore, body horror, cannibalism, human experimentation, human trafficking, eugenics, torture, unlawful imprisonment, abduction, various forms of abuse, cult and religious motifs and doctrine, bugs/insects, guns, eldritch horror, fascist ideologies, hand in hand with various forms of bio and ecoterrorism.
Please join this server with caution if any of these subjects are triggering to you and you don't feel as if you can view or consume them in a fictional setting.
While this is a horror-based server with many dark and potentially triggering elements this does not mean you are free to write anything you want. We do not permit or support the production of rape, incest or pedophilia in this server. These subjects are strictly forbidden. It is okay if your character's canon or background alludes to these things, but they are not to be roleplayed, romanticised, sexualised or made fun of in any way. Anyone suspected of this type of behaviour will be instantly banned.
Non-canon typical bigotry is also strictly forbidden. Your muse has no reason to insult another muse in a way that may be considered racist, homophobic, or transphobic (etc)... Canon typical examples of prejudice are allowed, however, please make sure you approve general offensive language and behaviours with other players before it is used in character. Examples of canon prejudice or offensive language are terms used by the characters such as “manthing” or “bitch.” etc and are not subject to this rule. If you’re unsure of anything run it by the server beforehand in the questions-and-suggestions channel.
Furthermore, please DO NOT make assumptions about any character's race, religion or sexuality and please refrain from making assumptions or jokes about a character's race or ethnicity OOC. Some characters are coded or written to be ambiguous, the exact details of these things rely on every player's individual interpretation. If you’re unsure of anything, please read a character's biography channel and ask the writer/mods if anything is unclear.
OOC bigotry is also completely forbidden if that isn’t already obvious. You are not allowed to express views or opinions that may be considered racist, homophobic, ableist, antisemitic, misogynistic, transphobic etc. We understand some of the characters in resident evil are bad people but you are expected to be a decent person OOC, no exceptions. There will be no god-modding permitted in this server. Discussing scenes and scenarios with your rp partners who are fully willing to and agree to your ideas and plots is not god-modding, however, attempting to do anything toward someone else’s character without the other writer's approval is. Similarly, no info-modding will be permitted in this server. Info-modding is allowing your characters to know information that they should not know. Just because you, the mun, are aware of something doesn’t mean your character is or will be. Please make sure you talk to and discuss anything penetrating to another person's character with them before you make any assumptions, accusations or perform any actions toward their character.
There are some characters in this server who are very powerful and may possess abilities considered over-powered or godmod-like in nature. Rest assured that while these powers and abilities are acknowledged and accepted as canon parts of the characters they will not be utilized without proper plotting and permission from the parties involved.
In order to keep this server safe and comfortable for all writers, there will be absolutely no talk of IRL politics in the server that does not directly relate to Resident Evil or the characters themselves. You are not permitted to police other people’s characters and their views. Keep the political and philosophical discussions on topic, light-hearted and to a minimum. Leave everything else for the characters, and again DO NOT accuse writers of believing or supporting anything their muses do. Furthermore, DO NOT use your muse as a mouthpiece for your own views and beliefs. Everything must stay strictly canon based or it could result in grounds for removal from the server. This is a strictly 18+ server. As a result, we do allow NSFW subjects in this server, however, this is not a place for unrestrained smut and pornography. Be sensible and keep it tasteful. Sexual relationships between muses are allowed, but this is not a smut-based server. Make it make sense, and keep all NSFW content in the designated and appropriate channels. Further, though NSFW is allowed in this server this is not a fetish den. Jokes are fine, having a fetish is fine, but do not try to inject it into the rp where it is not welcome and please ensure any such content follows the already established rules and guidelines of this server. Please also understand that what you’re into isn't what everyone else is into, use your head when posting about NSFW content and again keep it sensible and keep it tasteful. Anything else must be taken to DMS with COMPLETELY CONSENTING PARTIES. If you are found to be trying to push or force anything on anyone's character you will be banned.
Do not bash other people's ships or characters. Unnecessary negativity, criticism or hate toward any character or ship will result in removal from the server. This kind of behaviour does not belong in a group environment and while you're perfectly entitled to your opinions on certain characters and ships you do not need to air them in this server. If someone likes a character or ship that you do not, mind your own business. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. To keep things open and fair for all people you will only be able to choose one character from the Heroes or Bosses section and you may choose two from the Sidekicks and Sub-bosses section or the Civilians and Villains section. You can have one from either section. So for example you can have. One boss, one sidekick and one villain. Or any combination thereof you like. You can not have more than one Hero or Boss character. If anything is unclear or you need help with this please head to the questions-and-suggestions channel or the ask-mods-general channel.
This server aims to be a safe and relaxed place for all writers. OOC conflict will not be tolerated. Please ensure you respect all of your fellow server-members and abide by the rules laid out above. If by some chance any OOC issues arise in the server you are encouraged and expected to DM a mod with your problems/concerns. We will take care of it from there.
Upon first joining the server you will be classed as an “infected” and placed in the infected-lobby channel. This means you will need to complete the OOC introduction form and the character application process in order to gain access to the full server. You will find a guide on how to do this in the how-to channel. If there is anything else you need to know or you’re not sure about feel free to visit the questions-and-suggestions channel or ask-mods-general channel.
"Crossover characters" are welcomed in this sever. If you have a character you write who is from another fandom but has verses made to fit into the Resident Evil universe, they will be accepted into this AU functioning as an OC. As such, you will simply fill out the OC application template with your crossover-character's Resident Evil exclusive details. (Eg: We don't want to hear about who they are in their canon, we want to know about who/what you have made them to fit in with the Resident Evil universe. Your crossover verse should contain these details).
Regarding OCs in general, you may have up to FOUR OCs. This does not affect the number of canon characters you can write. So as an example, you may have FOUR OCS and THREE canon characters in this server. Mods MAY consider allowing you to write ADDITIONAL canon characters depending on the activity of the server/popularity of those characters. Remember, crossover characters will be counted amongst OCs. So if you have one crossover character, you will have three slots for OCs (or other crossover characters) left.
We do not allow "genderbent" or "cisswapped" characters in this server, as this is typically a sensitive and complicated topic in writing communities. We have server members who come from all walks of life, and we wish to remain open and respectful to the thoughts and experiences of everyone here presently, and those who may join us in the future. Writing trans and nonbinary characters is the best alternative, and you are wholly welcomed and encouraged to write characters who are trans and/or nonbinary.
When it comes to applying for a character in the server, a mod can vouch for you in terms of your writing / characterization. This means you're able to bypass the need to audition for the character you're applying to write. The conditions for this are that the mods have written with you in other servers or on other websites and are thus familiar with your writing ability. On a similar note, as far as applications go, we will also accept a link to your TUMBLR rping blog as a try-out for the character. Just make sure your rp blog contains rping threads we're able to read.
Activity isn't a heavy requirement in this server; HOWEVER, in order to keep things fair for everyone and ensure everyone gets a chance to be part of the server, activity checks will be taking place every two months. If you have been inactive in the server IC and OOC for two months, your canon character will be opened for someone else to apply for. This does not affect OCs or crossover characters.
The eloquently named "Monster fucker" role in this server is an entirely OPTIONAL role. Upon becoming accepted into the server, you can pick this role up by heading to the self-roles channel. As the name may imply, this role will give you access to the NSFW channels. This includes channels for (NSFW) images, memes, server games, headcanons, writing, and roleplays. You will not be able to see or access these channels without the Monster Fucker role so if you're not interested in NSFW content its no sweat.
NSFW channels focus SOLELY on sexual / lewd content. Gore, violence, horror and other disturbing themes outside of a sexual nature are not considered NSFW in this server, given the source material. You are welcome to spoiler warn material you consider disturbing OR triggering to other members (Refer to the trigger-list channel for things you need to censor / be cautious of in this server.), but stuff typically found in canon materials does not need to be censored by default.

Ring around the rosie Pocket full of posies Ashes, ashes We all fall down
Resident Evil: ASYLUM is a discord group roleplaying verse set in an AU timeline within the RESIDENT EVIL game universe This is an open-world, sandbox type of roleplay, based largely in the fictional City of ASYLUM, one of humanities final strongholds against the virus that has transformed most of the planet into a jungle of nightmares. This verse takes some inspiration from the Anderson movies and general what-if scenarios for the Resident Evil games. What if any of the viruses were not contained? What if Wesker unleashed uroboros? What if the games utilised more of Umbrella’s cloning technology? Etc. We're a friendly and accepting 18+ ONLY roleplay that allows for OCs and cross over characters to join in the fun. This is a creative environment that acknowledges and promotes Resident Evil’s horror / sci-fi roots and allows for fun, laid-back slice-of-life type interactions or high stakes action, adventure and thrills depending on your needs.
