Here it is! The Zombie game of epicness. (I hope)
I decided on Diem Mortuum because it just sounds cool. It's "The Day of the Dead" in Latin. The entry post will be posted next week-ish. I wanted to go ahead and get the OT put up so you guys could get ideas for characters and just build hype.
There are a couple rules/things you should to the game that I want to establish before you make characters.
1. Each character has to be a celebrity. No Anime or just random Google searches. It can be a Professional Wrestler, TV star, Simon Cowell, I don't care as long as it's somebody that is famous. The character has to be a celebrity.
2. Each PC needs to have a "redshirt" character. You can have as many characters as you like but you need to make one character that will die within your first post. They need to be linked to one of your characters in some way. That way when they come back as a Zombie your character can recognize them.
3. There are three classifications of character.. The Scientists, the Survivors, and the Soldiers. Scientists are minor characters. I'll be playing the lead scientist and she'll have a bit to do with the main plot but she won't do "too" much. (She's played by Olivia Wilde) Survivors are the main characters. We need more survivors than any other class. My survivors won't be the leader, but they'll be prominent. Soldiers are characters sent by scientist to kill zombies. They'll have to make a decision to stay with the Survivors or go back to the scientists. My Soldier is already my favorite character, (He is being played by Sam Witwer).
4. The game is set in the future. (2043 to be exact) So some high tech stuff is possible. Scientist and soldiers have very small powers. Scientists have the ability of Super-processing and brief ethereal powers. (Etheral being able to become intangible) Soldiers are given a selection of powers they can use to help defend from the zombies. The selection of abilities are plenty but keep in mind that they need to be weaker. Levi (My soldier) can telepathically burst a small radius around him. Knocking people that get too close back. But heavy use of the ability is rough on his body.
5. The president is evil. Her name is Miriam Holmes. She is the one who ordered Adren-tech (the scientists) to work on the serum that turns people into zombies. She will not be played as but The head scientist will have contact with her.
6. America has been locked in a cold war with Russia for the last 5 years. No severe threats of war have been made yet. But, Adren-tech was formed just in case war does break out.
7. Adren-Tech is a type of drug that was going to be issued to all the military. It is a serum that increases your adrenaline supply and increases it's effects. Basically, the super-soldier serum on steroids except it's temporary. (Not for the zombies though.)
8. Adren-Tech was actually formed in 1950 but because of the lack of equipment needed for the project, it failed miserably. (I figured Logos would have fun with this bit of information)
9. Have fun.
My Characters will be posted as soon as I can. That might be awhile though.
