Outbreak: Bharat

Before the outbreak, we were just neighbors people passing each other on stairs and hallways, waving out of habit, living parallel lives in the same concrete jungle.

Then the night fell. The gate closed. The screams started.

And suddenly, the lines between family, strangers, and enemies vanished. Now, we fight together. Or we die alone.

🧍‍♂️ Main Protagonist & Family

Shivansh Sharma (20) –

A reluctant leader with a sharp mind and sharper instincts. Cautious, calm under pressure, and quick to act, Shivansh's protective nature defines his journey. He watches and learns before he strikes a quiet strategist forced into survival.

"I didn't ask for this. I just couldn't stand back while people were dying."

Ankita Sharma (45) –

A grounded, nurturing mother with strong nerves. She clings to routine cooking, cleaning, calming her sons but adapts fast. Her strength is silent, maternal, and unshakable in crisis.

Smart-mouthed, internet-savvy, but still a scared kid. His humor masks his fear. Observes everything understands more than he says. A child's innocence twisted by the apocalypse.

Inspector Rajeev Sharma (48) –

Present only at the start, but his absence looms large. As a Delhi cop on leave, his disappearance fuels Shivansh's burden as the new man of the house.

🏢 Core Survivors – Apartment Residents

Inside the same gated society, others woke to horror. Some froze. Some ran. And some — against all odds — held their ground.

Zoya Siddiqui (20s) –

A gym trainer with a blunt, fearless style. He doesn't freeze when chaos hits he acts. That saves lives.

Kavita Yadav (30s) –

A grieving mother protecting her infant with primal urgency. Raw with pain after losing her husband on Night One, but unstoppable when it comes to Baby Tina.

Baby Tina (6-7 months) –

Too young to understand, but her cries often trigger reactions both from the living and the infected. A heartbeat of innocence in a dying world.

Aarav & Mitali Kapoor (late 20s) –

Modern, logical newlyweds. Mitali emotionally shuts down after early trauma; Aarav steps up, managing logistics and rallying people with quiet determination.

The overlooked janitor. Knows every corner, duct, and tunnel of the complex. Underestimated until his knowledge becomes the group's survival map.

A tough ex-army man, haunted by the past, hardened by experience. His combat instincts kick in early one of the few who acts before thinking.

Mukul Sehrawat (16–17) –

Drone-obsessed and emotionally detached. He becomes the group's eye in the sky — a silent watchman mapping infection zone from above.

Pooja Bansal – An online influencer more worried about her phone battery than the power grid. Loud, flashy, and always live even when she shouldn't be.

Ashok Tripathi – Retired, cranky, and proud of it. More interested in rules, rants than group survival plans.

Samarjeet Rana – PTSD-scarred retired CRPF officer. Man with a stare that rarely blinks. Keeps to himself. Something about him says he's seen more than he lets on.

Aalia Ansari – A calm, composed nursing intern who is also a very brave person. The kind who speaks softly, moves quickly, and always offers help.

Tanmay Mehra – Elderly but steady. Doesn't talk much but listens closely. Keeps an old radio, just in case. The kind of man who volunteers first and complains last.

Deepak Kohli – Divorced, unemployed, and known for drinking alone on his balcony. But under the layers of bitterness, there's still a man who hasn't fully given up.

The Human Threat – The Crows

Because in the apocalypse, it's not always the infected you fear most.

Vikram Chauhan –

Leader of the Crows. Charisma cloaked in cruelty. A black-kurta-wearing tyrant who doesn't need to shout his silence chills more than screams. Executes without hesitation. Believes dominance is survival.

The Crows (His Crew) –

Ragged men in jeans and scarves. Armed with pipes, knives, pistols and no mercy. Their loyalty to Vikram is cult-like. They move like predators, turning survival into psychological warfare. When the black crow symbol appears, time runs out.

⏳ And So, It Begins...

They didn't know it yet, but this was only the beginning.

The world was ending quietly. Then all at once.
