Unwritten\Zombie common traits

From Create Your Own Story

Zombies' common traits :

>1.APPEARANCE : A dead human in various states of decay. More often than not brainless and acting on primal urges only. Zombies do sometimes maintain their former human identity for a while before they regress into a brainless zombie.

Movement tends to be clumsy, even when personality is maintained, the body will feel foreign and hard to move the way you want it to.

A zombie's lifespan is only untill it completely decays and falls apart. When the brain is destroyed, the zombie will return to being a normal corpse. The brain has to be COMPLETELY destroyed or seperated from the rest of the body to be certain the zombie is dead.

In case the head is cut off, it may still be able to talk or bite, but will not be able to control the rest of it's body.

>2.PHYSICAL ABILITIES/SENSES : zombies tend to be fragile and poorly suited for combat. Their athletic abilities are far below those of the average untrained human. Except for physical strength as their limiters no longer function. This also means zombies are liable to tear off their own limbs if they try too hard.

Zombies do not feel any pain nor do they have any sense of touch or temperature, may retain a certain sense of Eyesight when the eyes remain intact and similarly hearing when the eardrums still work.

>3.NOURISHMENT : Zombies do not require nourishment but are often drawn to humans. Theory is this is likely a nostalgic reaction of some part of their former selves. It generally leads to a half-hearted attempt to bite chunks out of said human. After the victim has deceased, zombies lose all interest.

They have no interest whatsoever in other animals or food of any kind.

>4.ENVIRONMENT : Zombies tend to be drawn to places they frequented in life, such as their house or favorite arcade, School or work.

>5.HYGIENE : None whatsoever and in a constant state of decay. The smell equals that of a rotting corpse.

>6.HEALING/REGENERATION: None whatsoever.

>7.HERITAGE: Unknown at this point in time. Theory is a parasitic organism of unknown origin tho no evidence could be found.
