Introduction
The zombie apocalypse that geeks and believers had feared has finally come... The non-believers were the first ones to go, but there are survivors... Their numbers are dwindling... Are you a survivor, a zombie hunter, a crusader... or have you joined the undead ranks?
Symptoms of the virus that has decimated Earth's population in 2 weeks: nausea, massive headaches, cannibalism, loss of personal hygiene, speech and rationality.
If you are an infected, you may be a Special one, one whose DNA has been altered to perform better human hunting skills.
- Banshee: Their lungs can carry more air, their vocal cords can produce sounds strong enough to shatter glass, their arms are now like the wings of a bat.
- Swarmer: Zombie children who run fast, jump high and form packs of 20 or more.
- Digger: Their nails cover the whole of their hands, creating shovel-like hands that allow them to dig through anything.
- Bloater: Their lungs can increase in mextreme sizes, their skin now elastic and their organs compressable. Callouses on their bodies become infectious spikes as the inflate, and when they are shot, the explode, sending spikes flying everywhere.
- Heretic: The more it slays, the stronger it gets. The bloodlust and the taste of flesh enhances their senses, allowing them to jump higher, run faster and be stronger, although they stay as resistant as normal Infected (The_Charecter's creation.)
Rules:
- Originality, creativity and description when it comes to creating characters and forum posting
- Respect
- Romance must be kept PG-13 (no romance between zombies)
- Have fun

Alexei cursed, scratching the underside of his shoes with the pointy end of his axe, trying to scrape the rotten flesh from them. He mumbled things about zombies being a bunch of bastards as he continued to his cleaning, sending glimpses of the Infected with a now splattered head. He shook his head. It had only taken one small swipe of his axe to make the undead fall to the ground, where Alexei proceeded to stomp the head. Turns out his plan had a flaw... zombie juice and meat is hard to clean. He spat on the corpse then hung his axe on his belt, tired of trying to clean. He approached his motorcycle and looked at it through every angle, not wanting a scratch. He passed a hand through his hair and embarked, starting the engine and rolling off in the streets, driving slowly so as not to crash in any overturned car, fallen street lamp or any debri caused by the massive panic that had overcome the population 2 weeks ago.
He sighed as he remembered his life before the zombie infection. Now it was all in the back of his mind, which was more occupied into finding more ways to kill the zombies. He even had a diary containing moments where the infected deaths were quite original. He found it odd that he had not seen any other zombie after the one he had just killed. He shrugged and continued driving, his engine making almost no sound thanks to the muffler he had installed.

(sorry for the delay, i had some...minor....problems....thanksgiving related....also my ability to think of posts quickly has diminished D:)
Heretic wandered the streets, looking for human prey. He had recently found a nice wonderful group of humans in a gun store, and delighted in torturing them. He was curently tracking this one human with an axe. He had a truck, so it was somewhat hard to keep up. But none the less, if Heretic marks you for death, you die....enough said...
(You better start running, and sorry for the short post, like i said above, busy and slow)

Alexei Revninski cautiously walked out of the hardware store. He looked around, even in the air... never know when a Banshee's going to his you. He breathed and walked over to his motorcycle, sitting on the seat. He had thought of taking one of the wrenches as a weapon, but decided against it. Wouldn't want to put more weight... He revved the engine, silenced by a muffler, and sped off in the desolate streets, taking detours along the way.
Jack Kingsly kicked the boarded door to his old apartment down. He entered, and looked around. The walss crusted with blood, but no bodies were to be seen. He listened for a minute, and then walked up the stairs into his old room. He began searching for a weapon he may have hidden.
Estella Lua leaned forward and let all the wind sweep through her jet hair. That was a comfortable grow, the one of her motorcycle that is. She howled and could hear the music perfectly clear, it punded with a sort of hard rhythm that got her blood pumping, it went a bit like this. Ahead she could see a blot on the road, laughing, she realised it was another Motorcycle.
Alexei Revninski could hear something coming towards him... the buildings, abandonned cars and debris kinda blocked his view, but he did see something farther down one street. He frowned, and stopped, cutting off the engine. He heard the distinct sound of a motorcycle, although different from his. Not a chopper, like him, but another kind. He frowned deeper, pumping his shotgun.
Jack Kingsly pulled his closet open, and grinned beneath his gasmask, as he reached in and grabbed his bolt action hunting rifle. He then opened his drawers and took out his balistic tip ammo. He looked through the scope towards the road, and saw a parked motorcycle and a man with a shot gun, He didn't see anything else, so he quickly left the building and began runningtthrough an alleyway towards him. He would still be out of the sight of the man until he hopped the fence severel feet in front of him though.
Estella Lua began to get closer, and noticed the other cycle stop, so in asnwer she slowed down and reached for her spear, Holding it up in the air. As her cycle slowed down mroe she noticed the shotgun, and lowered the pole, and began to throttle her engine some more. The motorcyclist stopped about 200 yards short of the one with the shotgun. "Drop the shotgun, And I'll drop the spear?"
Alexei Revninski rose an eyebrow. He knew that Infected never spoke, but you never know... since the appearance of Banshees and Swarmers, what else could have made an appearance? He scoffed, until he heard running footsteps. He quickly turned towards the source of the sound and shot... right at Jack's feet.
Jack Kingsly rolled back behind a dumpster, "holy shit! do I look like a zombie to you?!" he yelled from behind his cover. He slid four rounds into his rifle, and prepared for the worst.
Estella Lua rolled her eyes. "You guys need to relax, both of you. Point your guns to the ground and empty the chambers without shooting or this is going to get ugly quick." During that breif moment of distraction, Estella now had her own rifle shouldered and aimed at the Jack, quick threat assessment, seeing as Alexei's gun was less effective at a range.
Alexei Revninski sighed, "You sounded like one..." he said with a gruff voice. He then looked at Estella. He shrugged, leaning his shotgun against his shoulder, barrel pointed towards the sky, "Not gonna do that, miss. Who knows when a horde might show up?" He sighed, laying the shotgun on his motorcycle's seat.
Jack Kingsly stayed behind his cover, "yeah, i'm with the guy that tried to shoot me, no reloading will be done by myself." he stated.
Estella Lua sighed, "Then I'll just have to leave you as puppy show. This is your very last warning, just take out the bullets and we can all play dress up together and be the bestest buddies."
Alexei Revninski growled under his breath. The girl was getting on his nerves. And all this arguing was going to attract some attention... Sure enough, the familiar shout of a lone zombie came to his ears. Followed by another... and another... and five more... "Shit," cursed Alex as he took back his shotgun and pumped it, seeing some Infected rushing out of alleyways, "See what happens when we argue?" He shot one that got too close in the face.
Jack Kingsly was about to respond, but he heard heavy footsteps coming down the alleyway behind him. He clicked the safety off, and loaded the gun. He couldn't see what it was yet. He backed out of his cover, and yelled, "hey there's some infected over here!" he yelled, shooting one in the face.
Estella Lua sighed and slung the gun back over her shoulder, "Gun it guys, You in the mask on my bike now!" The spear was already back in her hand, and her engine roaring. "Go Go!"
Alexei Revninski cursed. The girl was right. Every time he killed one, three more showed up. He slung the shotgun over his shoulder and jumped on his bike, revving the engine. He unsheathed a machete and slashed a nearby zombie, speeding off, following Estella.
Jack Kingsly ran towards the cycle, "do I have to get on the bitch seat?" he asked, getting on the back of the motorcycle. He waited for her to start it up, and go.
Estella Lua chuckled, "Well, you are the bitch." And hit the gas, speeding off like a lunatic, but taking a moment to spear a near by zombie. "Thats the way, uhhuh uhhuh!"
Alexei Revninski didn't know if having two passengers would slow the bike down but he took the lead nonetheless. He sped off towards a corner, hoping the girl would follow as he sharply turned.
Jack Kingsly closed his eyes, he hated being on motorcycles. "how far are we going to go?" he asked, through clenched teeth

It can be forum or chat, but yeah I might post something soon... sorry it's starting slow
Re: [OOC] The Dead Walk the Streets

Re: [OOC] The Dead Walk the Streets
Char, it sounds good, but no minions... maybe the bloodlust and the taste of flesh make it stronger though, but no minions
Re: [OOC] The Dead Walk the Streets
Can i make my own special type of Special Zombie...:
Heretic: The infection has caused more evolution the brain loss in these, and they are able to make weird infestations that if you touch, you will slowly become a zombie with 2x skills, and serve the Heretic who created it forever. Or if someone manages to cure you (if thats possible), then you are free with those skills. It is faster and stronger then its minions though, and each time it slays something, it absorbs a small amount of its strength. They have been known to wear black, and be able to jump high, but not as high as a swarmer (unless it has slain like 20 people). A bad side effect is though while it is hard to kill them, and while they do have a strong attack themselves, they usually still have massive headaches, and catching one during that time could give you the advantage you need. And like all zombies, Shotguns and fire to good damage to them. (Yes, it can speak, think, and listen, but it still craves the death of humans. You can't reason with it ether, they aren't THAT sane.)
That is my idea. Its not invincible, just smart enough not to go heads 1st into a whole crowd of humans with guns and stuff. They are only slightly stronger then the 1st minion they make. The more they kill though, the stronger they get, so it is recommended that if you see one about to kill another person, shoot the person, just so it doesn't get the power.
