When it first happened... we were all scared, you know how it is when the dead come back to life, you watched all the movies I am sure, Night of the Living dead, day of the dead, World War Z. You watch those movies and see people get eaten and killed by ravenous dead human beings suffering from some kind of disease. You never truly think anything like that can happen... in this case it did, but the irony of it is that... well people didn't become hungry, brainless, kill all other human monsters like in the movie in fact in reality what we became was what some might consider immortal. But lets not get too far ahead of ourselves, my mind can sort of skip around sometimes when I recount those days when I was still what you might consider human. When it first started, it started like any old horror movie might, with a disease that was killing us off one by one and then bringing us back to life, however because of the movies and because of the hysteria that was before it began we were more then prepared to fight back and almost like nothing we killed any who came back right when they opened their eyes. It was going fine... we were gonna beat it... that when we realized that these people coming back were not brainless zombies looking for brains or to eat us alive... they were still human, and even more so they were pissed that we were killing them outright without even giving them a chance.

Thats when the war began, back then we infected people just to recruit to our cause, the cause was simple to convert all humans to our kind so that we could live in peace. Your probably asking yourself by now who i am... well let me stop and tell you that I was among the first to be infected even though at the time I didnt know it, call it fate, call it irony, call it whatever you like really, but I survived an when I look back at it, that is a miracle in itself, anyways back to the story. Our war lasted many years, and it seemed that because of the horror movies and because we were forced to defend ourselves, the humans were not willing to find a peace between our two races, so we had no choice but to fight and to keep fighting until one day in June, the 21st to be specific that the human race had dwindled down to but a handful of people scattered across the globe, we had all but won and we had finally came to obtain the peace we desired. It was a day to be remembered for all our kind, after the war ended we rebuilt the world the way we wanted it to be, we formed a new and better world, one without disease, strife, and death, the reality was that we are dead so its hard to really die again at least by the diseases that inflicted us when we were still alive.

Anyways the peace we had found lasted for maybe ten years or so, however just like it always was when we were alive, peace is a concept that only lasts as long as it can before its shattered again. When the humans came out of the woodwork we were unprepared to be honest, and they took us by surprise, and in mere weeks they took over some of our largest cities and fortified them for themselves. We did not want another war, we only desired to keep ourselves from permanent death, so we got together some of our brightest and sent them to the human cities. At first they were shot down on sight, obviously it was not going to be easy, however after months of trying we were able to get the attention of the human leaders, and they in good faith decided to give us the chance that we desired. We were able to enter the human cities, however as you might expects we were shunned, and glared at, threatened, the nine yards which was to be expected. But in the end we and the humans were able to come to an agreement, that the humans would rebuild the west and we would take the north, and never would our paths cross and in this agreement we had finally found the peace we desired.

It lasted for years and we were free to live with no fear of human intervention, and in that time the humans eventually warmed up to us as we were aloud to cross the border into human territory from time to time when we required help, and humans were allowed into our cities as well. It seemed like the world had finally become whole again or at least was on the way. Thats when it happened it came so quick, the bomb that came out of nowhere and destroyed our capital city killing thousands of us, our outrage was absolute, and even a lot of the humans whom we had formed bonds with were outraged as well and quickly came to our defense. When the dust settled we found out that the attack had been incited by a group of men and woman, they had formed out of a hatred for our kind, they called themselves Z.A.G that's (Zombie Annihilation Global) to you. Its important to note that we detest being called zombies, so it was an insult even more in the end, Z.A.G we found out was lead by an overzealous, obscure General back from when we had our war for freedom, his name is George "Steel" Bronson, although he had now taken the name Zombie Killer to even further heighten his hatred for us. Steel was a rather important figure head in the new human society that took hold years ago, so naturally he had a lot of pull and admiration from the humans, by time he had attack us on June 21st our own form of independence day, he had amassed and army of followers behind him, poisoning their minds to the point where we were nothing more then beasts.

The humans who sided with us, they did not want another war and they did not want to see the world go back to way it was so many years ago, and we agreed with them on that. So with a mix of our kind an human kind we formed H.W.A thats (Human Walker Alliance) to you, and another war started that day, a war that we are still until this day trying to win. That finally brings us to now, the current day and age, its been almost 20 years sense the bombing that started this war and we are still fighting against the tyrant Steel. You may wonder why I am bothering to tell you any of this, well to put it simply you have a decision to make, and I wanted to make sure you knew the story, the true story that brought us to this point. I unfortunately can't force you to join our side of things and I wouldn't want to, but in this world now you are either Z.A.G, H.W.A, or some poor innocent bystander caught in the fray. I wish it was different, I wish we did not have to fight this damn war, I wish that the hate for my people would have disintegrated and we could have lived in peace for the rest of our days. But the truth can not be denied, for so long as we exist this war will exist unless we find a way to end it once and for all. My name is Henry Benson but most call me Benny, and this is the world we now live in, what side will you choose? Either way I welcome you this World of Dead, and hope for you and for all of us that one day we will know peace again.


Welcome!

I am excited to bring you this new twist to and classic role play concept, this role play is meant to be completely different from a normal zombie type role play. One that explores and avenue where this zombie altering plague did not make blood thirsty brainless killing machine, but in fact made what you might consider and advanced version of a human. I know with the concept of this role play a lot of question might arise so let me clarify some things before we get to the biography.


Q: Are the Walkers what we might perceive as regular zombies i.e. decaying flesh, smell, so on and on.
A: No as a matter of fact that body is that of a Walker you would know in Walking dead, but because of this in the roleplay the Walkers developed a way to preserve their bodies for long amounts of time so there is no decay.

Q: What is the general life span of a Walker?
A: Walkers can pretty much live for as long as their body is preserved, obviously if the brain is destroyed from mass decay then they die. So it is a varied experience and depends on the circumstances.

Q: If I am a Walker does that mean I have to be an ugly ass zombie like creature?
A: To be honest if your a Walker there are certain things you will have to accept, one of them is that even with their preservation abilities, your still going to have pale skin, white eyes, and other attributes of a zombie.

Q: Do I need a picture of a zombie when I join?
A: No you can use a normal picture if you desire, we can just assume the features of the zombie are applied, however if you wanna photoshop or use a zombie type picture be my guest.[/b]

Anything else that you maybe curious about please feel free to ask me through PM or on here, I figured these questions would be basics for most. Without further adue let me get down to the rules and of course the biography ^^
