I don't understand how any of you made it this far without knowing any of this information. It's been over 25 years since the zombie outbreak occurred. When it all first started, it only took a few weeks to turn every major city into a war zone. In a few months the world seemed lost and every city was a shattered shell, a horrible reminder of life before this all started.
Granted, there are survivors. Camps set up as far away from cities and civilization as possible. But those who run the camps usually have the rules bent to their benefit. So there are a few, like you, who try to survive on their own. Other survivors who remember the good old days… Well, let's just say they're no longer with us. At least they're not among the walking living.
We don't bury our dead anymore. We burn them. Don't need any more rising than what we already have.
But nowadays, the problem isn't the standard zombies or drifters, as we call them. The real problem is the new kinds of zombies popping up. Did it ever occur to you that it was a mutated virus or maybe a genetic test gone wrong that caused these bloody things? And what if that virus mutation starts to change again?
So first, let's just do a quick recap over drifters. Drifters are your basic run-of-the-mill zombies. They are slow, stupid, don't move very well, and they're definitely not well-suited in the thinking department. But they feel no pain, they eat the living, and there is no stopping them unless you take off their head. If you blow off an arm or leg, it will just keep coming. It is only when you separate the head from the body or severely damage the central nervous system that they finally stop moving. All it takes is one bite or one scratch and you will become just like them.
Now drifters are not the only kind of zombie out there. I'm sure some of you have heard of the savants. Savants look just like any other zombie. Well, okay, so they're better dressed and usually not missing quite as much flesh. But these little devils are smart. They think just like any other person. They've been known to set traps and create and use tools, they have even restored power to some cities. Most of them have the personality of a two-year-old on crack. But it doesn't mean they lack intelligence. Now, they still crave human flesh and blood. The scratch or bite from them will still turn you just the same. Worse is the fact that you still might end up a drifter, if they turn you; Making you the bottom of the zombie food chain.
If that all wasn't bad enough. Let's add a third type of zombie to the list. No one really knows if this third type of zombie truly exists. Personally I think it is a horrible nightmare, kinda like the boogeyman stories. So don't let what I say frighten you too badly. Just like the savants, they act human. Now what sets these chameleons apart is the fact they look human too. Well… they don't really bleed… but they seem to have a heartbeat, warm body, and function on a normal level. BUT…. They still have the lust for living flesh and blood as any other zombie. Hell, you could be sitting next to one of them and never even know it. But what makes them truly terrifying… I hear they can control all other zombies. These…. Dilettantes are the most dangerous and the rumors of their existence shouldn't be taken lightly.
So, let's recap shall we? Over the past 25 plus years or so, the world has gone to hell in a hand-basket. Drifters are your basic run-of-the-mill zombie and bottom of the zombie food chain. Then there are the Savants. They're not quite as bloody or gory and they have intelligence. But they seem to have severe personality disorders. That brings us to zombie type number three, which I still think is merely a myth. The Dilettante: They're zombies that act, look, talk and walk just like any other normal person. They just can't get their fill of flesh and they also control other zombies, mostly Drifters. OH! Hell, we didn't talk about the Ephialtes!
The Ephialets are pretty much walking skeletons. They are just as stupid as your average Drifter but they are fast. And I mean super fast. Nothing seems to slow them down and they eat everything: The living, the dead, random objects. They are the reason people lock their doors at night. They don't have a nervous system to destroy so no one really understands how they are still moving. The only way to kill one of these bad boys is to crush enough bones that it becomes immobile. Don't inhale the bone dust; you will become one of them. And like all other zombies…. A bite or scratch will turn you.
Now, then where does that leave us, the humans? Well I'm so very glad you asked! My name is Misery. Hehe just my little joke. Ok, I'm Morgan Willows and I'm the head honcho of this newly resurrected city. I think it's what was once called Lost Angels; A rather fitting title considering her predicament. We have running water, electricity, gardens, and even some shops here. The thing is everyone who stays here gets a turn on the wall.
The wall is 3 feet of Barb wire, landmines and traps set to stop the undead from making their way to you. If they manage to get past that first bit and they have a 10 foot concrete barrier that surrounds the city that they have to get past. Now that is where you come in. You have to stand on the wall and kill whatever makes it to the wall and hope you don't get scratched or bitten in the process. Remember, this is the only known city to have such luxuries as we offer and as long as you don't get turned, I hope you enjoy your stay.
