NationStates Jolt Archive

ooc: My friends were telling me about Nazi zombie mode on the new call of duty game and I came up with an idea.

A nation formed by zombies. They have formed a rudimentary caste system and have organized a war effort. Basically, zombies with guns and other weapons. I wanted to put it as a early 1940's tech with nations and individual heroes involved. Is anyone else interested. I would be playing as the zombies (and my own nation if needed). Anyone else interested or have any other ideas

Maybe. I'll keep looking at this.

sounds awesome! I look forward to a nation of zombies to fight. Calendrandia. tagged!

If anyone wants to fill the role of the "Resident Evil" style Hero or Heroine please describe the character

DAMNIT!!!! I was going to do this for FT

I was thinking the Castes would be

Ruling
Soldier
General
Gunner/ Bombardier
Pilot (yes Zombies in a plane)
Hand Weapon
Unarmed
Farming (takes newly bitten people and prepares them to become new zombies. The also scavenge for people to convert. They also take un-zombie-able and prepare them as sustenance to strengthen the Soldier Caste
Grunt

anyone with any additions or ideas for changes?

hmm Zombie attack dogs

i was just thinking zombie animals as well. That would add a cool element. And Zombie rats to.

Birds, Dogs, anything that can chase down someone. are you going for quality or quanity, or perhaps a mix?

I'm interested, but just wondering the exact physiology of these zombies. I assume seeing as how they're intelligent enough to fly a plane or shoot a gun that they aren't the classic "braiiiins" zombie. So, are we talking Resident Evil las plagas? 28 days Later? Or something entirely new?

And I'd love to play a human outsider of some sort.

I was going for quality in some aspects such as the soldiers. But swarm style animal attacks. I think birds might be a little much. I might keep it at mammals only. Also, every soldier "killed" gets added to the zombie ranks. (unless body is destroyed or not bitten within 1 hour)

I'd be willing to be one of the nations trying to destroy this "zombie nation"

Ravea, I was thinking that they are basic braiiins zombies on the grunt level, but some retain enough intelligence to create plans. The growth of the zombie ranks is their main purpose for attacking.

Grunts: braiiins zombies (can perform menial tasks, unable to speak as it involves too much cognitive processing)

Farmers: (Retain caregiver instincts, but only for their own kind. Most were nurses, doctors, scientists, farmers or chefs before bitten)

Soldier:
Unarmed: Agressive with little more cognitive ability than grunts
Hand weapon: has the ability to use tools and basic weaponry. Only slightly more cognitive that unarmed
Pilot: Retained and has enhanced spacial awareness. Little cognitive ability. (They were pilots before infected and retain the rudimentary knowledge of flight controls)
Gunner/ Bombardier: Can use guns and/or artillery. They have good aim due to tightened muscles and enhance eyesight. They also work based on aggression and/or orders from generals
General: Lowest caste with speaking ability. They can plan military assaults but have no self awareness. They think only based on strategy.

Ruling: Only about 10 zombies fit this. They were politicians or advanced scientist. They keep the castes in line and have the ability to speak. They have the most cognitive ability but are still influenced completely by their baser instincts

Interesting concepts...I'm definitely liking this. Do you want rough bios for characters, or is this going to be nation-to-nation combat only?

i wanted both military and character. So, if you want to put in a character, post a bio

Heh "They Hunger" had the zombies something like this. Sounds interesting.

I've never heard of it. I should check it out. Also, would anyone object to zombie pirates

Yarrr, brains!

I guess I'll start the thread soon

does anyone want to have nay specific hero characters? If so, please post a bio

I started the thread
