Backstory.

this is a 7 page backstory this was the one our group chose to make out of all the individual backstories, in a brief summary of this backstory. The story follows a man named Gabriel, as he witnesses a meteor hit the earth, with a material (they call it Deus Lapidem - god stone) that can be changed and moved by human will, and can be used to shape any structure, or implemented in such scientific ways that it can cure diseases. But like most discovories and breakthroughs there are always those who are willing to exploit it. So a scientist uses this material to reshape people and control them, blooding the material across the country, taking away Gabriels love interest and most of England. Gabriel comes back to the UK only to find all this destruction and only has one clue how to stop it all : that Sir Titus Salt experienced this before, knew of this material and had measures in place. Gabriel must travel to Saltaire and find Titus's tomb to awake his guardians and end this crisis.



My backstory
The Awoken: Guardians of Titus
It is 2442 and it began the quest to find the legend of the Sir Titus Salt cure to the zombies, It was never definite but it was his only hope to save his family, the archaeologist John went on the search for this scroll that is hidden in the historical town Saltaire somewhere, the location is not known and it may not even be true but it’s the last chance to save humanity from extinction. The zombies happened before years ago back when Sir Titus Salt was alive and he found the secret to destroying the zombies but somehow it happened again and spread rapidly, it is legend that he hid the scroll somewhere hidden for the future in case it happened again and that wasn’t the end of the zombies for good.
John travelled across the country to get to Saltaire to see if this legend was true, his family were all turned into zombies and he has nothing left to lose, He arrives in Saltaire where it was dead there are paper on the streets cars tipped up and buildings destroyed and windows smashed. He looked in buildings everywhere to try find this hidden tomb, all the buildings that used to be college buildings but that stopped long ago, He found nothing in any of the buildings. He then decided the only place after searching through Saltaire could be somewhere in Roberts park it was his last opportunity to find the secret to destroy the zombies. He looked and found an old building that seemed to look like an old cafe but it had a statue in the middle of it which seemed to look promising so John decided to try the little object and he moved it which made a loud sound like the earth was shifting.
It turned into stairs and it was an entrance to a tomb which john prayed was the secret tomb, He walked inside and there were skeletons on the floor, cobwebs everywhere and traps. He found a coffin which he opened and it was Titus inside with a key in his hand, john picked the key up thinking it might be relevant to this legend that was told, he carried on further into the tomb after finding the key to see if he could find where the key might be used and what for.
He then tripped over a rope and the key fell into a hole so he used his grappling hook to get down and get the key, he bent to pick the key up and slowly stood up because he saw some strange animal feet in front of him and it was the lions from the 4 lions of Saltaire, he said “my name is peace. One of the four lions of Saltaire and I’m here to help you stop the zombies before it’s too late, when you tripped over the rope you triggered the lever which brings us to life”. John said “so what do i have to do to stop this, can i get my family back to normal?” The lion responded “it is possible but you have a long way to go before you reach that step, there are a lot of traps in this tomb and there are trails you must complete in order to prove yourself and get into the chamber that will help you destroy the disease and cure your loved ones”.
John was happy for the first time in a long time because he has now realised he can save his family and get back his loved ones, this gave him motivation and nothing was going to stop him from completing his task, the lion said you will find another lion called vigilance who will tell you what to do for your first task, John walked further down the dark cave with sounds behind him making him on edge thinking there is something following him, he reached a lit up bit in the cave that had no floor and spikes below, the lion was at the other side of the room and it was vigilance he said “ there are bars above that you can grab and climb across to reach me” so john grabbed the bars one by one and as he almost reached the end one hand slipped and he almost fell to his doom but he finds the strength to get back up and
