Ok, this is just an interest thread for my idea for my first RP on this site.

I had two basic ideas for a zombie RP:

1) Its after the last war, a nuclear war, and humans are just emerging out of their bunkers, so its a average zombie apocalypse RP you might say. But there is a twist; the player characters are the zombies. Well special zombies, and they will basically be trying to survive the humans emerging from their bunkers and destroying their fragile society.

A few notes: The cause of this zombie apocalypse will be a nuclear war using low-explosive high-radioactive bombs. The player characters will be zombies with higher brain functions, as well as a few NPC zombies, but most NPC zombies will be the old school Shambler types. There will also be mutated zombies and player zombies may or may not start with or develop mutations.

2) It's the standard Zombie Apocalypse RP but the cause was a large shower of a soft green stone which reanimates the dead, turning them into an undead army of zombies. But the green stones also have an effect on the living population of Earth, if not all of them; it gives them powers. The players will play as these 'Super humans'.

Notes: The cause of the zombies in this RP will be the 'soft green stones' which also give the living people their powers. Not all of the living population will get powers about half of the population of living humans will die and come back as "special" zombies with powers, I mean where is the challenge of killing normal zombies with laser vision.

Tell me what you think of each and which you would like me to make. One more thing, I do have a story line for each, so it will NOT be another zombie RP that will die just as the players meet.

P.S. It is late over here so forgive me if it is written badly or if there are any spelling mistakes. I'm also going to bed now so good night

The trouble started with China. Right-wing pundits had been warning about it for years and, surprisingly enough, they where right. China did have a growing nuclear arsenal and they were making better missiles thanks to stolen U.S. technology. What no one suspected was that Chinese scientist had managed to make their own variations on the nuclear payload. It was a highly radioactive, low destructive yield device that would kill millions but leave the buildings more or less intact. The plan, presumably, was to rid the planet of the other populations and make more room for the Middle Kingdom.

Of course, China had no intention of starting a war, at least not when it did. However, as usual, things got out of hand when relations with Taiwan soured. It started when a notorious Chinese serial killer escaped custody and fled to Taiwan. In a fit of cooperativeness, the Taiwanese refused to extradite the man back to mainland China. The Chinese sent in a special forces team to bring the murderer home but the Taiwanese military intercepted the team on it's way in, killing them to a man. The Chinese Navy blockaded Taiwan and the U.S. Navy moved in to break up the blockade and one trigger-happy captain ended up firing on another.

The war began with the U.S. Navy and Chinese Air Force exchanging missile attacks, some of which started landing in Taiwan. The Taiwanese, believing themselves under attack, responded in kind. They launched a very special missile they had bought from the Russians; one with a nuclear tip. Thus World War III began and the Chinese and Americans started bombing each other into the stone age. Soon India, Pakistan, Russia and Europe where dragged into the fray and when the dust settled, the Earth was in the grip of a nuclear winter and civilization as we know it had come to an end.

The specially designed Chinese radiation bombs had their desired effect, killing milions of American, Australian and European citizens but leaving the cities mostly intact for those few survivors who could take advantage of them.

But the bombs had a very different side effect that wasn't expected; the newly dead, of which there was A LOT of, started to rise as zombies. The few survivors of the Chinese bombs took shelter from the radiation and the zombies in deep under ground bunkers.

But on the surface something remarkable was happening, the humans who where left where mutating, becoming able to survive in the heavy radiation, but as they fell they did not just rise as zombies. About half of them became the undead but they where sentient, retaining all their higher brain functions and slowly but surely they made a new society on the surface. The other half of the people weren't quite so lucky their bodies continued to mutate and became monsters, some big, some small but all deadly.

A war broke out between the Sentient Undead and the Mutants over the cities and small food supplies of animals. After several years of fighting the Sentient Undead in one American city finally killed or drove off all the mutants that where a threat to their survival.

This is the city in which we find ourselves, after several long years of fighting we have finally defeated the Mutants and gained a sure future in the city. But a new threat awakens, the Humans are coming out of their bunkers and they are coming to take back their city. They are better armed and well organized but they are still living and breathing and can die.

I think it could be interesting to RP as zombies, and I would prefer to try it rather than the Superhuman variant. Most likely because I dislike super-hero RPs.

I really like the first idea, and would definitely take part in that. One thing I'd suggest if you hadn't thought of it already, is that the humans had developed a new language in the bunkers and had lost the English language somehow. Purely so there would be no sympathy or understanding from the humans, so they don't have to all be emotionless killers but still pose a threat as them. Or the zombies had their own language or something.

Unless you plan on having some human interactions, ofc. Either way, liking the idea 1.

Well, I was thinking about having the zombies speak 'The Old Language' and some humans will remember it or have it passed down from their elders.

i think this should definitely become an RP, the first one sounds very interesting, the second is to stereotypical for my liking.

I've decided to do the first one. I'll edit the OP with the OP for the RP soon for review and to see if you all think anything needs changing, after all this is my frist RP that I am running and I want everyone playing to like the carfully crafted universe.

Edit: Ok the story is up so have a read and get back to me about what you think.
