(NOTE: This is obviously still be worked on a bit. We'll probably have to PM back and forth a few times to get everything down. I've made it so Merlacie doesn't rememeber much, it'll keep the mystery element, cause even if she did know everything about what was going on, I wouldn't want everyone else who might read this getting spoilers. I won't say exactly what your background is, but it was more along the lines of your ideas 3 and 4, though quite a bit different from each of them too.
Oh, and I ripped off the title from Area 51,
Some special notes:
1) You will be unable to use guns until a plot event happens, as your milscore is 0. While that was mainly because I never intended to use monster classes as PCs, it actually adds a nice unique flare to the RP I suppose, so I'll keep it in. Everyone gets a chance to raise their milscore once anyway, so it isn't like guns are out forever for you.
2) As for the apperance and how it works, I'll let you keep the blueish color over the typical green, but the armor needs toned down a bit, the regular infected get the same stats without it, so..., though you're still tougher then most other PCs.
3) Merlacie's amnesia will be somewhat light, but also quite hard to bypass. The intro will show a bit of that, but to use guns as an example, Merlacie will remember what guns are, and what they do, but won't actually know that you have to pull the trigger unless she has a little help rememeber. In other words, she'll know she knows something, but won't be able to do anything about it the vast majority of the time.
4) Monsters will have a much greater chance to be passive to you. They are sometimes to normal humans as well, but not near as often as you'll encounter them that way. Not to say they won't defend themselves if you start attacking them for whatever reason, or that you'll never be attacked just as is, just that the monsters recognize you as one of their own.
5) Not telling you how, but yes, your mind has a map of the city. Just ask for it and I shall provide, though probably a crappy MS paint drawing, or a description if that'll do.)
Merlacie founder herself facedown in a dumpster with no idea how she got there. She slowly became aware that something wasn't right. She felt very strange, her limbs ached, her head hurt, and her breathing was a bit shallower then she thought it should be. As she looked around she saw her body was deformed! Or atleast she thought it might be, Merlacie couldn't remember if this was how she was supposed to look or not. For all she knew, she might be dreaming right now, or maybe the vauge outline of a different from she was remembering was from a dream she had just been having... in a dumpster... That thought jolted her awake a bit more, and she noticed the smell of burning around her. Just burning, as there were many many things on fire.
Merlacie's shifting made a few trash bags roll under her, and now she was on her back. She could look up and see skyscrapers, badly damaged. That didn't seem right either, but the woman wasn't really sure on that as well... a dream landscape maybe... There was a strange buzzing noise at the back of her mind, too, and for some reason she knew exactly where she was in the... city... Clover Grove? She could almost see a map in her mind, totally wierd!
However, Merlacie didn't have time to think about that, some crashing and rustling noises from nearby, probably no more then 15 meters away, alerted her to the location of someone else.
