I'm interested. I have an idea for a character, though I must ask, would a "Natural" Zombie be able to pass as human?
So I was reading a series called Wake Up Dead Man and I love it. It's a series about zombies in modern Korea, but they aren't stereotypical flesh eaters. While they can eat flesh, they have intelligence and not all of them are bad. The modern media has portrayed them as evil monsters and the government has created zombie hunting units, but the zombies are just trying to survive. Some hide, some want to be equal, and some even want to take over, but they all have the same self preservation instinct that any other being would have.
What I want this rp to focus in is a group of 3-5 zombies (maybe one of those being a human if I feel like we should have/need one) including myself, surviving in a world like this. We each have our own background, and we can work out how we became a group, but we all have the same desire to live on. Our group will encounter those that wish to start a revolution, those in hiding, those that may want us to stay, and many who want to destroy us. This rp isn't simply about intelligent zombies trying to survive, but about these zombies going through emotions, proving that while they may be "Dead" they are still human and very much alive mentally and become more than just the portrayed image of monsters.
So, there are a multitude of zombies.
-"Standard" Zombies: These guys are zombies turned from direct contact with another zombie. They usually have a couple of scars from the event that remain open flesh wounds. These are the type of zombies seen most.
-"Natural" Zombies: Unlike the standard, these zombies are those who had the disease from other contact instead of being wounded by a zombie, so they look much more normal other than the grey skin all zombies have.
-"Eaters" Zombies: The zombies seen in media, these are zombies with a thirst for blood. Depending on how many people they've eaten, their teeth and eyes have a more animal like quality. Some eaters have even eaten other zombies after they've grown a big enough blood lust.
-"Carrier" Zombies: These are zombies that have removed all the internal organs from within their body to become basically a moving backpack. Other than their brain and sensory organs/appendages, they have no organs giving them room to carry things like weapons inside of their own zombies. They usually have zippers hidden under their clothes.
-"Stitch Job" Zombies: All zombies can actually replace body parts with a good enough surgeon. Just reattach the nerves, sew the body parts together, and there you go, the infection somehow makes the body part work for you. Stitch Jobs are the rarest as finding a surgeon skilled enough to do this is very unlikely, let alone one willing to do it for a zombie.
So, this was going to be the composition to the group.
-1 Carrier
-3 Standards/Naturals
-1 stitch job or 1 human
So, anyone interested? This isn't first come first served by the way. I like a bunch of people to apply for spots so you may have competition. As for a setting, I was thinking the US and probably 2013-2014 for a time period.

If you can get makeup to cover all the grey skin, probably.
Ok, that works. I'll PM my idea to you in a bit for your opinion on it.
Interested. PM'd you my ideas.

Definitely interested, I'll give you a Chara if you have a CS or I'll just make one for myself.
Still waiting on one more interest. Giving it another day or may just go forward with ti.
