This Story is loosely based on the Dead Reign Table Top Roleplaying Game.
It has been five months since The Collapse. No one really knows what caused it, but what everyone agrees on is that it happened suddenly. An epidemic started, springing up in cities and highly populated areas. The diseases were similar enough from city to city and continent to continent for conspiracy and fear to be widespread. Within ten days of being sick they died, no one survived the disease. There were so many bodies that hospitals ran out of room and the bodies were stored in police stations, fire stations, schools, city halls, and any other public building that could be commandeered. Three days later, which has come to be called the Reckoning, all those thousands of bodies in every major city on every continent came back. Rose from the piles, hungry and raving mad.
The zombies attacked the police and rescue crews and people in any political standing were the first to fall. They swarmed out from these centers that should have been safe havens, leaders and rescue crews were gone in the first twenty-four hours leaving cities and countries without leadership or the manpower that was meant to keep them safe. Within a week the death toll was monumental. A week after that Zombies began to outnumber Humans.
It was a snowball effect. Five months from The Collapse, 70%-80% of the population had turned, Humans scattered to small rural areas, or remained on the road always in motion. The Zombies were thickest in areas that had been heavily populated before The Collapse. They crawled the cities like cockroaches, they were everywhere. This is what the world is now. There are some small communities known as Safe Havens. They are located in smaller towns, rural areas, or heavily forested spaces.
Types of Zombies
Slouchers - Slow moving Zombies 79% of the Zombie population.
Crawlers - Slouchers that are missing lower limbs, 10% of the Zombie population.
Fast Attack Zombies - Zombies that move at inhumanely fast speeds, they hunt in packs of 3-5, 6% of the Zombie population.
Thinker Zombies - Zombies that have retained some small bit of intelligence, are able to solve simple puzzles and influence other Zombies, 4% of the Zombie population.
Pattern Zombies - Zombies that are stuck in the pattern of the Human life. These Zombies will reenact their day over and over again and will not react to Humans,1% of the Zombie population.
All Zombies, except Pattern Zombies, are attracted to the scent of blood, loud sounds, and Human scent. A person must be bitten and die from the Zombie bite in order for them to be turned into a Zombie.
Rules
Characters do not need to be approved by moderators of this story, unless you want to make something other than your basic run of the mill Human such as a Human with a very special (rare) skill set. If you're unsure please ask Unnie or JC.
