Heya

I'm new to the site, I think it's awesome that there are so many zombie fans here.

Anyways

I want to start a role play, centered/based around zombies of course.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Setting: The year was 1963, that was the year that sparked the start of a major zombie A virus with no name had been discovered by mankind, and the affects were deadly, it killed within twenty-four hours, and then reanimated the victim into what we all love, A zombie. Twelve years passed, in which, surviving humans strived to win against the walking dead, and they succeeded. Now, it is 2015, forty years later. Peace has been restored to the earth, humans are living out their normal lives, it's almost like the war never happened. But, there is a secret, one that is growing, and expanding, soon to be known to all. The unnamed virus created zombies, but it also created something else, Virals. A Viral, is an infected person, who has a human mind and a human form. Virals have only a few identifying features. Most Virals are very tall, taller than a lot of humans. They also have a pair of horns behind their ears, which they are most recognized by. Virals feed off the flesh of the living, they can even turn humans into the walking dead, or other Virals. One Viral can re-start the up rise of the dead, but luckily, Virals are rare, only about a hundred of them are left in the world. Research facilities, with knowledge of these creatures, have been built in various places in the world, dedicated to studying these beings, and inevitably, destroy them. Hired hunters search the globe for Virals, and are paid an enormous amount of money, for the Virals brought back, dead or alive. To date, no Viral has been captured alive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Use whoever you want, you can create your own Viral, hunter, or human.

Depending on were this leads, another outbreak can occur, and the world can be thrown into chaos again, or, the world will stay somewhat peaceful.
Please join, up to five people may participate.







~~ ~~ ~~

Bright sunlight accented the clear morning that shone over what was once New York city. Below, in the concrete jungle of grey buildings, and constant movement, the humans went about their daily lives. Mothers and Fathers took care of their children, went to work, lost jobs, made money, or lost their life. Others, like the teenagers, could be seen in school, learning about history, math, physics, or whatever else many of us find boring. Crime was common, it seems that no matter where you went, someone could be found plotting out the best way to steal a car, rape a woman, or just steal something from the local supermarket. Either way, this was humanity.
Then, there were the lonely men and women, those who couldn’t find jobs, or hold ones for long, that either drank too much, or just couldn’t find love. There were many people like this in the city, maybe you are one.
Among the tall buildings and sky scrapers, there were distinct research facilities, were men and women alike walk in and out, dressed in white lab coats, or similar gear. They were the ones who seemed to be doing the most work, so far. Dedicated to studying the twelve years that had passed just 18,720 days ago.
Of course, every one knew about the war, students learned about it in school, they learned how to protect themselves, should the time ever come were rotting hands are trying to grab them. It was a hot topic in light conversation, but it was old news, no one really cared much for it anymore.
Yet deep in the alley ways of this city, there lurked something that no one but few knew about. He kept to the alleys for a reason, their dark shadows hid him well, and with everyone seeming to be high on paranoia, no one in their right mind would walk in between the buildings. The only time he came out was at night, but this was just to feed.

“….” He stayed silent as he sat against the cold brick wall, his knees drawn up to his chest, arms wrapped around them. His head, covered by a large black hood, was bowed. Anyone who may have seen him would have just passed him off as a homeless street kid, they were wrong, of course, but it made things that much easier.
~~~~it…
The thought rang through his mind, and he managed a small movement, which was just to lift his head. From under the shadows cast by the hood, one clear blue eye could be seen shining. With a sigh, he closed that eye.
I’m hungry…again…With a small grunt, he pushed himself up into a standing position, swaying on his feet. On his body he wore an overly large black sweat shirt, with two pockets on the front. His pants were too long for him, and dragged on the ground, and were the large holes were ripped into the fabric, one could see his pale legs underneath. Shoving his hands into the jacket pockets, he leaned back against the wall.
Sunset is coming…I won’t have to wait long, then…
Unlike most Virals, this one was a bit different. He hated killing his victims, no matter who it was, he found no joy in the pain of others.
But he needed to eat, that was true.
“With everything there is to being a Viral, it is the craving for human flesh I despise the most…” he said softly.
~~ ~~

Note: If you intend to create your own Viral, there are a couple things you need to know.
1. Virals can not remeber their past life as a human, that is why most change their names shortly after turning.
2. Every Viral has their own unique mutations, such as wings, tentacles, tails, ect
3. Some, not all Virals, can eat something other than human flesh, but for other, regular food makes them horribly ill
4. All Virals have a pair of horns, some can hide theirs, others can't.


Those are some things you need to know, if you have anymore questions, please ask.

Chris has been driving around for a while and capping zombies out of the window until he saw some crazy man drive through a hospital and following an explosion.
He immediatly got out of his car and pulled out a m16 out of his trunk and a couple magazines. "Time to kick ~~~" said Chris as he entered the half ruined hospital. Blood was all over the place and he made his way through it. There seemed to be no sign of life but then he saw a manhole and came near there, and whispered "Better not". After that he closed the manhole up and pushed some heavy medical equpiment above it and began to walk to his car. Then a loud screaming noise was near and he quickly walked to the car and drove back to a 3 story apartment. As he walked in he heard a munching noise up a floor or 2 and quietly walked up there, and opened fire on a zombie munching on a dog. "Wow" said Chris as he walked into a random room. "Might as well make a barricade" thought Chris after seeing a bunch of stacks of wood,a hammer, and 3 packs of nails in the room.

(( and wtf is a manhole doing in a hospital??? ))

After barricading every door,window, and vent he heared an odd noise. A viral's grunt and immediatly grabed his M16 and searched the room. In the bathroom he could hear a viral eating something, so he fired a whole clip through the wooden door. "Close one" thought Chris as he reloaded and nailed a couple planks on the door incase he was still alive. Soon after, he found some kind of trapdoor to a cellar and began to walk down the stairs. It was dark and cold and Chris turned on his flashing light attached to the M16. A glass item fell off the taple in front of him and crashed and A sharp item jabbed into his leg. He looked down and unexpectingly found a knife. "~~~~!" screamed Chris in pain. A teenager perhaps 15 or 16 ran out from under the table and out the celler. Chris was in horrible pain while he was removing the knife and began to head up the stairs. "Im a human!", yelled chris, "Where are you?!". He walked around a corner and immediatly got a pan swung at his face. "WHOA!" yelled Chris as he backed off, "Relax, I'm Officer
Binkowski!". By observing the teenagers greasy hair and a lair of dirt on her face, she said " Are-- Are you infected?"
"No", Replied Chris, "Are you?"
"Nope"

"Can you get me outta' here?" she said, more relaxed.
"Yes, but where would we go?"
"My aunt lives nearby..."
"How far is nearby?"
"A block or two away"
"In the morning, maby...."

After that quick conversation Chris put his gun down on a table and laid on a couch. " You don't mind if I stay here " he said, after taking off his shoes. "Nope" she said for she knew she needed him. After that they both fell asleep, one on the couch and one on a chair, in the kitchen.

Lance was lonely, but that was normal. He trudged back to his 6'x6' square of living space from the kitchen. He was hungry, and there was no good food around.
he pondered his position. He was living in the lowest level of a downtown apartment in the middle of the city. His father had a decent job, but it seemed like he was always doing something with his mother. He wanted to go get new strings for his guitar but he had no money. Even if he did, his parents would never let him take the car. He did not know why they did not trust him. With the standardized zombie survival skills class experience (formerly known as P.E.), he could live for years on the street. Why not, but there is still free food here.

He logged on to his computer. It reflected every part of his life. Just like his efforts to succeed, it was never good enough to do what he wanted. It was his only escape from the monotonous hell that was the outside world.

"People look more like zombies than they used to", He said to himself. It was a bad habit, but it made up for the fact that he never talked to people much.

"Nice, Alive is on." Alive was his best friend, and he had never even met him in person. They rarely referred to each other by their real names.

"Hey Ghoul, what's up?"
"the usual."
"Same." Alive was just like Lance, a social outcast. He seemed like a nice guy, Lance wondered why he was so dispised.
"Hey Ghoul, webcam real quick. I would like to say something that IRC cant relate well."
"Ummm, Ok." Lance wondered what this was about.

I pulled up the IM service's web confrence, and saw Alive there. He was about 6'5", which was about as tall as lance. Lance wondered why he never showed his head before. There the head was, and there were horns that curled in like a goats. The scenes of wanton mauling that were shown on video as part of ZSSC came rushing back. His hair stood on end and he nearly fell out of his chair.

"Are you...."
"Yes. Viral. I couldn't keep it from you. I was just afraid that if you knew then you would be afraid of me."
"You're halfway across the country. What makes you think that I would be scared?"
He frowned.
"I was just startled. I could never be scared of you. You are the closest thing I ever had to a friend. One is plenty, none is painful. We both know this."
He smiled. "Thanks, that means alot"
"We're outcasts. You understand."

There was an awkward silence that lasted a good miniute.
"how long since you killed anyone?"
He was offended. "Not for 5 years. Im hungry. I want a real meal. I get sick from eating your food, except fast food. I want a meal, but every time im about to do it I think about how nice you are to me."
"Thanks, That means alot. What's it like to be strong and fast?"
"People are afraid of me."
"I wish people were afraid of me.."

At that thought, he heard the door open.
"Dad?" No answer.
Lance saw Alive was turning up his speakers, as if listening for something. When he found what he was looking for his face froze.
"Get out of there now, if you want to live!"
"Wha?"
"There's a viral in your house! Get out!"
Lance grabbed a baseball bat. He had given up trying to be good at it years ago. He bolted out the back door and closed it. Just then he heard something slam into it. He knew that he needed to run to avoid bieng slaughtered. He sprinted into the sunset, unaware about what was about to befall him.

When Chris woke up he got up and walked in the kitchen, finding a buffet on the table. "Dig in" said the teenager. "But first", said Chris, "Whats your name?"

"Names Elizabeth..."
"How did you make all this?"
"Im a chef..."
"No, I mean how did you get all this food?"
"I know a guy.... Well gal..."

Chris pulled up a chair and sait down. They both started to eat, Chris never ate a meal like that since a looooong time. After breakfast, I said "You never visited your aunt since the infection broke out?". "Nope" replied Elizabeth, "I was homeschooled and I never had a real job. I havn't been outside seince 3 years and ---", A big bang interrupted her autobiography...

Chris ran to pickup his gun and while he did it, he felt the pain from the knife that was jabbed in his leg. "Ahh!" Chris yellped as he picked up the gun. There was moaning behind the door to the hall. Chris aimed at the door firing several rounds at it. (( TO BE CONTINUED ))

Chris then heard a loud crash and pounding behind the door still.

"We gotta get out of here" said Chris.

Elizabeth grabed a dagger that was taped under the kitchen table and said " We can take the window."

Chris ran up to the window, opened it, and looked below. There was no metal platform or anything, just the street which frightened Chris.

"Wha-- What- How are we suppose to get down?" said Chris.

Elizabeth pointed to a garbage bin with garbage bags in it and then pushed Chris down. Chris yelled as he fell 3 stories, right into the garbage. About a minute later Elizabeth landed right on top of him. They immediatly got up and into the police car.

"Where's my gun?!?!" questioned Chris.
"Relax... Relax its right here"

Elizabeth took the gun along with its strap and gave it to Chris. Chris started the car up and then began to drive.
