This is take two of a storybook that my friend TalaPaulwic started up a few months back. I really enjoyed it, so I want to see if I can start it up again. I got permission; no worries.
Intro.
“Rabies has had a strange effect on humans nowadays,” the man on the small television screen said. “Once the humans die they rise again, as green skinned, human eating machines. These have been known as Zombies. Now these ‘Zombies’ have their own virus, one bite, and in three days from being bitten you will be a zombie yourself.”
Many people shut off this report. The zombie attacks had been minor, and as far as they could tell, it wasn’t that bad. Sure, another person had been turned into a zombie. Three zombies died when one was turned.
It’s the year 2020, medicine, and weapons, are the only things that have evolved since 2009. The zombie problem started in April, when scientists came out with “the cure for cancer.” They used another virus, rabies, to fight off cancer. This worked for a few weeks. Then they started showing signs of dying, for some unseen reason.
When they were looked at it, it looks like both the cancer, and rabies were attacking the brain. This caused the victim to slowly die. Painfully.
The first time someone had risen as a zombie was in early May. It was a mother, whom had three kids, and a loving husband. When they saw her roaming through the streets, they were overjoyed. They wrapped their arms around the mother, but when she bit into their skulls, they were rather unhappy. Two of the children died right away. The father ran with the third child.
The youngest child. This youngest child had been bitten on the arm. Three days after being bitten, she was a monster like her mother. It was heartbreaking, but the father fired on his own eight year old daughter.
Then the government was alerted when cases of Zombies were rising in several cities across America.
Nothing wrong, “This is an isolated incident.” All over the country they heard this.
These towns started getting bad, out of hand. So they simply isolated them from the rest of America. A few people managed to get out, and contaminated the other towns. By late August all of America had been overrun by zombies.
Some fled to other countries, hoping for a cure. Of course other countries were trying to avoid this, and didn’t want to have to develop a cure. Sure enough a chain reaction was started.
Our story is in America. A few survivors just hide, hoping not to die. Some try to wipe the earth clean, or at least just a single town, of the zombies. Then there are those, whom are looking for a cure, that can be spread through the air.
There is an injection, they made it in the hospitals when the virus first started taking hold of some towns. This injection can add four more days of life to the infected person.
You are either a zombie, infected, or a survivor. Will you find a cure, or hide?
Rules.
1.) No godly, super awesome fighter characters. No fun.
2.) No over powered guys, who have like a thousand weapons. Not fun either.
3.) No magic, just saying, in case SOMEONE got an idea.
4.) You can play a zombie right off the bat, yeah, cool!
5.) You can play two characters if you wish, one must be a zombie though.
6.) If your bite isn’t deadly, then you live for three days.
7.) Sure it’s like a repeat of six, but no immunity to the bite.
8.) Zombie relationships are allowed. Just keep it realistic.
Numberless Rule: If your character dies, you can make another.
More rules that I'd like to add;
I'd like people who are devoted, and won't drop out after two pages. If you're lost, feel free to ask for help. Also, please, PLEASE try to have decent grammar/spelling. Nothing bugs me, and probably a lot of other users, more than bad spelling and grammar.
If your post doesn't make sense, or contradicts something, or it portrays someone else's character in a wrong way, people have the right to either ignore it or ask you to change it.
Another problem that we had in the first one was that there were basically limitless injections that counteracted the plague, and people were using them left and right. We're cutting them out completely. If you are bitten there is a one hundred precent chance that you will turn into a zombie within a couple of days (SB time).
Race Descriptions.
Survivor:
A normal human, but is running from the zombies. They have learned how to survive well enough. It is hard, They generally live with other survivors, or are heartbroken for loss. If they live alone, chances are that they have gone insane. This is normal, and they could prove more dangerous then the zombies if they’ve gone crazy.
Infected:
This person has been bitten by a zombie. This bite was not enough to kill them, so they lived on. They normally refuse the fact that they are soon to become a zombie, and end up killing other survivors when they turn into a zombie three days later in the middle of the night. It’s just how it goes. They may also be in the search fore a cure, if this is the case they either travel in a group, or alone.
Zombie:
Someone who has fallen victim to the virus. They have died, they normally rise five to ten minutes after they die. Once they rise they contain little to no personality from who they were in life. They are rotting as the walk, and have bad motor, and physical skills. If they do retain personality, it’s just tiny fragments of memory, familiar faces. They still don’t avoid killing anyone. They want to eat, they will eat any living thing. They don’t stop at one bite, they keep going until even the bones are gone.
