Ah one of my favorite topics of disscussion. Also a book written by Max Brooks, it's a fun distraction. I've seen the topic on 4chan, and on occasion I have debates with some friends (Just had one with Masali and another friend earlier). I checked the search to find nothing, and with Dead Rising released, how could I refuse! Besides, I've always loved zombies.
This is an assumption that zombies indeed do exist, and that they are massive in number, and not only in your town.
Here are the rules.(no this is not a roleplay, just a general information thread to see the response of the members) Everything taken from The book "Zombie Survival Guide"
Weapons- Keep it realistic. Don't list weapons you wouldn't normally have access too. And for the love of God, Weapons that EXIST please. No lightsabres.
Animals- Zombies will attack and kill animals, however(this NOT being Resident Evil), they will not turn the animals into zombies. Only humans can be turned.
Zombies- Zombies have basic knowledge. They can still climb stairs(but not ladders). They may still open/break down doors, and may by some twist of ill fate access an elevator. This is not jurassic park, they can still see you if you don't move. They can tell the diffrence between a zombie and fresh meat(AKA You)
Zombies are slow, however, not slow enough to simply walk past.
Also, the only ways to COMPLETLY kill a zombie
-Sever the head from the body/Destroy the head
-incineration
the virus-We shall be using the Solanum virus (A fictional virus)
-Can not be transferd via insects.
-100% Mortality rate.
-Animal carcasses can be handled saftly after a few hours of death.
-biting will cause the viral infection. Getting bit is a bad thing.
-If a wound is brushed up against a zombie, or if remains from the zombie touch the wounds
-(to the necro's out there) Sex with a zombie, though not tested, will most likely cause infection
-And any other form of direct fludical contact.
Now! For the sheet. Keep all of the above in mind. OH, and this is a class 3 zombie invasion. This is the second highest kind, highest of course being 4(AKA Zombie apocolypse) The fight is not in the zombies favor, however, they pretty much rival humans in number, or close enough to it. Also, lets just assume all of this takes place in the summer(Now) In an urban zone
Name-Your name
Age-...obvious?
Country you are currently in:not where you live, where you are during outbreak.
Weapons-What you bring with you, remember, REALISTIC!
What do you wear?- Clothing, duh.
Where do you go?-REALISTIC
What do you do?-Figure this out on your own
Who is with you?- Whos is with you, if anyone?
Food?-What do you do for food?
Theme song- Fun extra, what song would be playing in your mind while killing zombies =)
I shall post mine in time.
