Undead High

this is the OOC for Undead High (title not linked yet)

this is a zombie RP loosely based on Walking Dead with emphasis on keeping your humanity, sanity, and healthy relationships, as well as being as realistic as a zombie RP can get.

there is also a twist being that all major RP-ing characters range from Freshmen to Super Seniors if desired as the outbreak begins in a high school.

the outbreak is in it's early stages, the undead just beginning to number at least 100 and the numbers will spread everyday (both in real life and IC) by 2x or if i feel like it and the zombies get hungry enough then 4x.

there will be no superpowers allowed, and the zombies are also Average Joes.

this RP will take place in an Eastern State, im thinking New York or Maryland, but im open to suggestions.

here's the deal with human characters and their need for survival:

you cannot live 3 days without food or you die of starvation. in this RP you will find food by raiding stores, homes, ect. and may choose to ration if you wish, but no matter what you must eat.
you cannot live 3 days without at least drinking one water bottle or you will die of dehydration, if you deem it necessary you can resort to having your character drink purified piss so they can live an extra day (purifying piss is possible as seen on Man VS Wild)
your character will need some kind of security blanket, whether that be a picture of family or a locket or even an actual blanket it's up to you, this is because they will need a tie into the world they once knew without going bonkers in the new one.
you can come across weapons, but nothing higher than an RPG, and amoo must be conserved (no unlimited ammo)
and there must be at least an hour a day (ic) of sociolization between characters, otherwise people could start to go bonkers because they have so much bottled up

now when it comes to zombies:

if your character happens to die, you can continue to RP as a zombie if you wish or just make a new character.

for zombies, rigor mortis sets in immediately, meaning after about a day they will be experiencing what normal folks consider arthritis.
deterioration will begin somewhere between a month to a month and a quarter, so jaws can unhinge, bones break, ect.
the zombies are average joes when it comes to appearance, but mentally all they think about is wanting food which to them is us, physically they can run as fast as however their human selves could munis the rigor mortus and deterioration. they have no healing factor, so any wounds they are given will stay there and fester, even get infected and worsen.

as for the virus:

it's origin is entirely unknown
it can be spread through blood transfuion, bite marks, scratches, coming into contact with feces and other bodily wastes, as well as a new one: puke, at least once a day a zombie will literally puke up it's stomache contents which contributes to it's hunger. this way zombies don't get super huge.

the virus takes aproximately 5 minutes to go through body 100%, takes 10 minutes for the victim to be put into a coma, and 15 for death to set in, and 20 to be reanimated. this way, in the 5 minutes, you could sever an infected limb, or at least try to counteract it with any pills you come across (but to no avail)

for the character skeleton, you can go ahead individualise your own as we've all seen them and make them. there's millions to choose from.

and lastly: have fun and happy zombie smashing :)
