[dash=#FFFFFF]Introduction of the GM
Hey everybody. So I've recently finished my playthrough of Walking Dead 400 and the Last of Us quite recently and both being zombie-powered games I just had to make a roleplay. But before you change the page if your bored with some of the more typical Zombie RPs out there, scroll down a bit because I've got some twists and new kinds of zombies to give it that unique flair. I also plan on being a very good GM and progressing the story with things I've planned out to keep it interesting. Its a lot of reading after this but don't be intimated its just to flesh everything out~
Also: This RP is supposed to be centered around the Human-mind set that humans are desperately trying to grab, it's about trying to stay human in a heap of zombies. "It needs to focus on the human aspects, and not omg kill everything that moves" - LuluRS
Plot Synopsis
Its 2020 the world has met it's literal end. Or at least that's how the last few news shows recounted it. IT all started when a small remote island off the coasts of Japan was found. When Japanese researchers went there they were met by cannibalistic people. Forced off the island, some of the researchers were injured by deep bites.
That's when it all started. First Japan was lost then the Philippines, then China and then eventually all of Asia and Australia. It just kept spreading like rabies. Coincidentally considering how it was basically rabies but for humans. And now each and every country has been decimated, humans taking refuge in the shadows trying to keep on living.
Few cities have been reestablished by hard-working survivors. And there some of the remaining scientists are working on a solution, a cure. But they've hit nothing but a dead-end and the hopes of returning the world to a moderately normal state are slim. Until now. Somewhere in New-york, the whole continent across from California a younger girl has been bit. But hasn't turned. The bite itself three years old now. Her and her sister prepare for the journey across the country not knowing what will be the product. They'll meet allies, enemies and most of all zombies.
Questions and Answers
Where will this RP be set?; Obviously it is set in the United States. But if your not from there and you think that it'll hinder you not knowing some states/geography and stuff it won't really matter. Just city names and a couple of States and that's it~
When is this RP be set?; It'll be set in the future there won't be anything much different. Aside from a couple gadgets made in the apocalypse days which will be mentioned in story.
What will make this Zombie RP different then the rest?; Well for one, each character is supposed to be fucked up in someway. They need to have a substantial back-ground which will slowly be revealed to the group not to mention that I'm going to be GMing scenarios that the crew will be needing to figure their way out of. Not to mention I've been making different kinds of zombies which are located more down below under the Z-Book. And basically look back up to the introduction on that quote by my friend.
What kind of characters are you looking for?; Aside from something they'd like to hide its pretty much an open book whether its a escaped convict or a good-hearted raider. Of course there will be some boundaries but I don't like being a stickler soo yeah.
How far in is the apocalypse at the time of the RP?; The actual apocalypse started around 2015 so a total period of five years.
What's the social status of the remaining humans?; Well, like I said some of the humans have set up villages and the big city in Cali. At most the population in a village ranging from 50-150 while at California around 200-300. There are some other villages but kept discreet by its people. There are definitely raiders who..raid. Duh. lol.
If you have any other questions ask and I'll put the answer and a copy of it here~

Z.Book
Walkers
Your typical everyday zombies, they just slowly walk around trying to quench that hunger for you flesh and brain. They can often seem like their sleeping laying lifelessly but you might just be tricked. They populate the most of the Zombie population.
Runners
Zombies which have still been turned recently, their body and brain not decayed enough to prevent them from running as quickly as a normal human should. Very dangerous as their speed is eerily crazy enough to keep up. Leaning more towards rare but still can be seen some times.
Screamers
Zombies often seen in hospital robes as they originate from mental homes. Their brain is decayed but its almost as if the mental illness is still in the body, this particular zombie screaming extremely sharply whenever they notice your presence. Surprisingly common in the bigger cities so careful.
Ferals
Extremely decayed zombies, their body very slow and disgustingly decomposing. The strong smell cause a horde of your normal typical Zombies to surround him as she slowly makes his way towards you. Quite rare, more common on the bigger cities.
DJs
Named after "Disk Jockey" simply because these zombies were pass music lovers causing the earphones in their ears to slowly molding into their decomposed faces, giving them loss in hearing but eerily better eye-sight. They are often the ones to be found charging first, mostly found towards more school areas of the larger cities.
Backheads
Disgusting looking zombies which from afar seem to have no heads so no brains. But in reality, their necks are almost snapped back leaving the heads to rest against the the backside, protecting it while being able to move around its decomposed selves.
Stoners
These zombies can range from Walkers to DJs or even Screamers. A common manuever in clearing is to burn some weed, and make enough noise that the zombies would get near to the fire and eventually have dulled sense as if they were stoned.
More will be added as the RP progresses.
