Our Last Hope - Interactive story
I know that there are a lot of apocalypse stories in here, but I thought that maybe I should try to do one. It's been 10 years since the apocalypse began. This will be about a group of people, who are in a safe zone when something bad happens. They have to go across USA to find another one. They meet some people on the way, good and bad. There will be different kinds of zombies roaming around there.
The zombies:
Walkers: They're the slow ones, who are just looking for something to eat. They're more stupid than the other ones. They've been turned usually for 1 week - 5 years.
Runners: They're the fast ones. They can smell and see better than the others. They've been turned usually for 5 hours - 1 Week (Some people turn faster, some slower). After 1 week they turn into walkers
Bombers: They're blind, but the most dangerous ones. They can hear much more better than the others. If you touch a bomber, it will explode. They're rare, but very dangerous. If a bomber explodes, the other zombies will come to the place where it happened. Bombers have been turned usually for 5 Years - 10 Years. Most of the zombies don't become bombers, so that's why they're rare
Screamers: They are seen at night when it's really dark. When you notice one, you might want to kill it instantly. If a screamer sees you it will let out a really loud scream to attract the zombies. If you don't kill it, it will not stop screaming and will follow you until the other zombies arrive. Nobody knows how they become screamers and how long they've been turned.
Lurkers: They are really dangerous. Lurkers look like dead walkers, but if you get too close to one of those they will attack you. They are slow, but really hard to notice. One way to regonize one is that they don't move in herds. Lurkers have been turned for 5 hours - 10 years
Turned: These ones are really rare. They are zombies, but still have some kind of a human inside them. They can say things like "Hi" or "Me" and simple things like that. Their skins are turned darker so that's one way to regonize them. They bite you if you come too close. People become turned after 5 hours of the bite. They're usually turned for 4-5 hours and then they become runners
Stalkers: They are are the creepiest zombies. Their flesh is covered in some strange fungus which allows them blend it with trees and walls. They usually stalk people in lakes, rivers and forests and grab survivors. Stalkers are turned from people who have died in lakes/rivers.
Stingers: These zombies will burn your skin and flesh off as they touch you with their hands. Most of them travel in large hordes.
Wasters: These zombies let out a powerful toxic gas that causes nausea, paralyze or even death depending how much gas you inhale. Their gas is highly flammable and even the slighest spark will ignite it. They usually travel alone, are really slow but quiet. They are easily spotted if they're in the open.
You guys can also make your own zombies if you have ideas, just make a one in the comment section or PM me.

10 years still seems absurd, I will put a stronger character than usual.
*Name: Harry Brody.

*Appearance: He has messy black hair not combed long ago, black eyes, nose and face filled with scars. He is short, a little bit fat and little muscular. Wear army-like pants and torn white shirt.

When he is in an emergency situation, he is desperate and can even yell at others. When he is in a sad moment, he prefers to be alone. When he meets new people, he asks them 4 simple questions ("who you are?," where you came from?","What do you want?" And "You already killed someone?"), after answered, he shows sympathy with these new people if the answers pleased him, but he would send them away if don't. Overall, he is:. Serious, confident, sympathetic and humane.
*Weapon(s):
*Skills: He is good with long distance weapons for having attention better than the others, he can also load faster than most. He is bad with melee weapon and desperate races.
Occupation: Night watch
Backstory: For being 10 years of apocalypse, the story would be very long, all I can say is that he lost his wife at the beginning of the apocalypse and his only daughter one year ago. Maybe I'll do a little fanfiction about him.
Other info: I did not want to do a character like Gary Stu, but 10 years of apocalypse forces me to make a stronger character than I should.
The toughness kind of depends if your character is in a military safe zone, or out in the wild. In the safe zone the military takes care of them, like hunting food for them and passing food tickets for doing jobs. In the wild it's the survival of the fittest.
But thanks for the character :>
He is from the military security zone, he could not survive alone for long.
I have the oldest character here lol.
Also, I got anew idea for a zombie. The Screamer. When it sees you it lets a loud scream to attract zombies. And it'll keep screaming until you kill it.
That's a really good idea, I'll add it to the list.
I'm writing some character introdutions before I start the story. The first one is almost ready.
Would you mind if I don't make this character a doctor? I mean he's 14
He can just hang around there and do some other jobs.
Cool, can't wait!
Lie , Zara is oldest :P
Before she was added on the character list.

Zombie idea: Lurker
From turning to 5 hours of that. They pretend to be dead but when someone gets close enough the lurker attack him. They have a lot of force but they are very slow. They are very lonely and doesn´t move in herds
Name: Nick Donnel
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Appearance: Nick is a tall and very muscular. He has brown eyes, short brown hair and tries to be clean shaven whenever it is possible. By most standards, he can be considered handsome. He has a small scar from his left temple down to his cheeck.
Personality: Nick appears to be a rude cynic at first. However, he merely covers up that he is a very moral man, who tries his best to keep his friends safe and is surprisingly helpful towards weaker people. He likes to see himself as a leader and tries to appear strong so that weaker people have someone to rely on. When he is alone with trusted friends, his behaviour changes: He gets deeply caring and compassionate. He would go to great length to keep his friends and loved ones safe, even if that means doing something ruthless. Whenever he is forced to do something bad to survive, he is deeply troubled by it, however. He can be nice if he wants to, but usually prefers to appear cold and aloof, since he has great fear of loosing those close to him.
Weapon: A Remington 870 shotgun
Skills: Nick is a survivalist with a great knowledge on how to stay alive. He can use a gun, has close combat training and leadership skills
Occupation: Police Officer (Before the apocalypse started)
Backstory: Nick was born into a poor family in a bad part of his hometown. When he was twelve years old, his father got shot by a robber. From this day, Nick vowed to protect those close to him. When he was 18 years old, he started to train as a police officer. When the apocalypse started, he tried to save his mother, but she died before he could ever make it to her. Since then, he became increasingly cold and cynic on the outside. He travelled with a group of people for several years, but eventually they all died, leaving him as the sole survivor of his old group.
Other info: He keeps a woodcarving knife with him that once belonged to his father. It is his most valuable possession. In his freetime, he often carves little figurines out of wood with this knife.
Name: Mary Mason
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: Mary is a slim and very athletic young woman. She wears her long brown hair usually in a bun while travelling, but let's it down when she feels safe. She has deep blue eyes and a sweet smile. All in all, she isn't above using her pretty appearance to her advantage.
Personality: Mary is carefree, jovial and genuinely friendly. She is also very sarcastic and loves to tease other people. She abhors violence and prefers to talk her way out of problems. She is a compulsive liar, but never lies with bad intentions and never wants to harm anyone with it, though she sometimes swindles to get an advantage over others. She also uses her appearance to get protection. She is highly intelligent and witty, but a fan of needlessly complex plans. She often spends hours creating an elaborate strategy, ignoring far easier options. Despite the fact that she is a con artist, she is a very moral person and would never take stuff from people who need it to survive. Most of the times she tries to simply survive, but she has a very soft spot for children and weaker people, whom she would keep safe under every cost. She prefers to stay alone, since she hates it when people around her die, but if she gets to know someone better, she quickly tries to become friends with them. This usually involves her definition of having fun: She plays pranks on them and playfully mocks them. She has a problem showing sincerely deep emotions with other people, but if she does, she tends to get very emotional. She would never betray true friends and would do anything for them. When she does cause harm to others who don't deserve it, her conscience often forces her to make amends.
Weapon(s): A kukri knife and her wits
Skills: Mary is very charismatic and able to talk her way out of most problems. She is also a born liar and con artist. She is very athletic and a skilled parkour runner.
Occupation: Before the apocalypse started she was a normal child. Now she is a survivor.
Backstory: Mary was the youngest child in a very large family. At a very young age, she found out that she was able to manipulate people when using the right words. She always had a wild spirit, going on little adventures, causing slight trouble for others, but nothing that would be outright mean. The apocalypse hit her very hard and claimed her whole family, one by one, everyone dying to protect her. For a while she went into a deep depression because of this, but snapped out of it eventually. She had an adventurous life in the past ten years. Unfortunately, most of these adventures ended badly, albeit without her fault. People she cared for died or got lost. Since then, she has decided to travel on her own. If she meets other people, she usually tries to trade with them, or trick them into give her something for free.
Other info: She likes to tell greatly exaggerated tales of her past adventures. Usually, these stories are based on real events, usually events that ended very sad. In her tales, there is always a happy end, as unbelievable as it may be. Her exaggerated tales are sort of a coping mechnism to deal with loss and hardship.
Wow, you guys have some great ideas! Thanks! :>
Thanks! :>
Thank you! :}
Thanks! :]
Thanks!!!!
Another idea: Turned
They are more rarely type of zombies. They can say some wordd like "Me"or "Hi" but not much and pretend to be human. Their skin is black and not pale. They are like that since they turn to 5 hours later
