This is somewhat of a long post, so bear with me here. I would like to do a zombie apocalypse RP, that will include drama, slow burn romance, and more.


The RP will mainly focus on our two main characters, but we can place side characters as we feel needed. Please try and make an effort, and please write in third person. Also, our characters did not know each other before the outbreak happened.

We would start about 6 months after the outbreak started, so it is relevantly new. What's left of the government is still trying to get control over the situation, but the outcome of it isn't seeming to be great. What's left of small cities and bigger area's are being overrun, and what-ever is left of humanity is trying to find a safe place to camp out. Some people have set up some temporary camps, but only few are allowed in. considering the amount of supplies they'll need to ration.
No one knows the cause of the outbreak, but it spreads fast, leaving no where truly safe enough to stay.
While the government is trying to control the situation, groups of people are slowly starting to appear, wanting to take control of their own territories with their own laws. While some of these groups are good, some will strip you of everything you have, leaving you on the side of the empty roads for the dead.

How to become a zombie;
To become a zombie you must be bitten, or meet death. When you're bitten their saliva gets into your system, which is what will turn you. Once bitten, the saliva will work its way through your body and into your bloodstream. You may amputate to prevent the host from turning, but this must be done right away. Although that may work for some, it won't work for everyone. Depending on the host, the virus may only take a short amount of time to spread, meaning they could turn in a matter of minutes. For others, it could take up to days, the virus killing off your living cells slowly and painfully.

Symptoms;
Symptoms that one will show soon after being bitten include; High fever, uncontrollable muscle movements/twitching, pale skin, sweating profusely, shortness of breath, headaches, dry mouth, lose of appetite, and bloody nose.
Before turning, you'll start showing more progressed symptoms such as; Slurred speech, vomiting, glossy eyes, coughing up blood, unable to control body movements.

What the bite looks like;
The area around the bite will be red and swollen, as time goes on it will start getting itchy and will start getting infected. It will start smelling of rotting flesh, and will be darker than when the host first got bit.

Zombie traits;
Zombies do not run, they are quite slow. Fleshly turned zombies do have better movements if not impaired, but are also still quite slow. Zombie's have a dull eye colour, giving them almost a glossy finish. They die to head wounds only, ones that penetrate the brain. Injuries to other parts of the body may slow them down, but will not kill them. Zombie's are attracted to fire, bright lights and loud noises as well as the scent of blood. (Human blood that is, not zombie blood.) Though they will eat animals, the animals will not turn. Zombies travel in herds, the larger the herd, the harder it would be to escape. Zombies can not go up ladders or climb other obstacles. But if not impaired they can go up and down stairs, but not gracefully. They can not turn handles or open doors unless the door is a swinging/push door that isn't jammed. Lastly, they do not speak. They may groan, moan, growl, and grunt.

''Slow down there, bud. Get too far ahead and I won't be able to catch up with you.'' Ember called out to her younger brother, who was skipping down the road a bit ahead of Ember. Ember was limping ever so slightly, due to a fall that had occurred while running away from a small herd of zombies. Her and her brother were travelling out of town when the outbreak occurred, leaving them without their parents or really anyone they knew. Her brother, also known as Delta had stopped after he'd been called out to, but not because of his sister's statement. He seemed shocked, even the slightest bit excited as he looked across the field. ''Ember! There's a house just across the corn field! Maybe there's people there, or even better! Supplies!'' He stated, causing the female to look up from the road. ''Delta that isn't funny, we haven't seen a house for hours.'' She started, before Delta's hand wrapped around her wrist, giving her a slight pull. ''Look!'' He pointed across the field to a small yellow house, which brought a smile to Ember's face. ''Good eyes, bud! Let's go check it out, maybe we could stay the night, so we aren't wandering around at dark.'' Ember mumbled, starting to stumble down the hill leading to the corn field. Delta followed with caution, before running into the corn field. The stalks were dying, and looked like they hadn't had good water in a long time. Which wouldn't be surprising, considering the last thing people would care about is a few corn stalks in a field. It only was a matter of time until nightfall, a dangerous time to be outside considering your vision wouldn't be at it's best.
Soon the two made it to the porch of the country house, slowly approaching the door. It didn't seem raided, or boarded up, so they may have some luck. The door creaked open as Delta pushed on it, the inside appearing dark and dim. They stepped inside, both having a hand on their weapons, in-case they were needed. Ember shut the door behind them, before looking around. ''I think we just lucked out, this place seems in shape and it seems like it hasn't been raided yet. Maybe we could stay for more than just a night, I mean until we have a reas-'' She was then cut off by the sound of something falling, causing the two to take their weapons out with no hesitation. ''Is anyone there?'' Ember called out, somewhat expecting an answer. But there was nothing, dead silence. Just as they were about to put their weapons away, a zombie threw itself onto Delta from behind, biting into his shoulder. A scream escaped Delta's mouth, and Ember turned to see the zombie attacking her brother. She raised her gun, pulling the trigger. The room fell silent once again, and Ember rushed over to her trembling brother. ''Oh god Delta..'' She whispered, pulling her brother against her body. She looked at his shoulder, the bite already appearing infected. As she did, tears started forming in her eyes, slowly trickling down her cheeks. Out of instinct the girl screamed, the words 'Somebody help' falling out of her mouth.
