I have an idea! Let's not base it off of invincible 'warheroes' with mini-guns! :D
Lets put it from the viewpoint of a civilian. Requiring wit and quick thinking to survive.
A well thought out survival system, shelter would be a big part, food etc.

@Link,
So, basically, you're suggesting an RP revolving around a group of citizens who fight defensively, rather than offensively?
That'd be original. :P |

@TaiWolf, I'm embarrased to say it actually is original.
What the hell is up with these RP'ers? "OMG ZOMBIE, I PULL OUT MY RPG AND BLOW IT UP TO !*@&!%)&!@%)&!@%&*(!@%_&!)(@%!" What I've always wondered is if the entire military is dead, why aren't the 'warheroes?'
Well, it would take place on an island city for more of a challange. Not to far off shore, but the bridge is down. So a boat is needed. Making a challange for the players.
Then, finding a better shelter would be needed. |

| Would the island be colonized? Or is it just a vast jungle, or no jungle at all? |

*slowly peeks out from behind a tree* I smell rumor of Realistic Zombie situation...hehehe... *slowly vanishes behind tree again*
But ya...Realisticly you wouldn't be on the offense against zombies,in the early part of a zombie outbreak you will probably have military trying to contain the situation...
The Reason this will fail,is all the 'Crazy' people who will try to onslaught against the zombies. These people are likely to fall easilly,The military will try to treat it as either a biological attack or a Solid enemy...in either case their quarintine will fail,For the fact that Conventional weapons probably won't be effective against zombies...
The way I see it...A Zombie is just a body of flesh compelled by a Virus of some sort,Most of the body has flat out shut down. This means What ever is 'reanimating' the body,probably doesn't care if there is extra lead in it or not. they probably wouldn't care if you gave them a headshot...
Meaning...your Best bet is to avoid contact with the zombies when possible,Unless your planning to have yourself a Roast. now there are limits to how much damage a zombie could take,For instance its not going to be doing much if its been blown to bits Or is missing Vital bones (spine) and such...so you just need to get Creative >.>
your not going to walk into a Grocery store after three weeks and expect to find everything nice and ready for looting either,Your going to find that alot of that stuff already started to expire. to further this,Your going to be HIGHLY active in all chances unless your holding down a fort. in either case your going to burn through supplys quite quickly,The fort for amunition and such...the activity for Food and water... |

Interesting.
My idea is to have zombies that don't exactly look like the normal, sickly looking zombie. So, it would be harder for the players to decipher if it is a normal person or an actual zombie. |

The island is a small city off the shore of a larger city. I'm thinking an industrial island.
Once getting to the mainland, getting out of the larger city and into the open country would be the problem. |

How about Hawaii? Or an island around there.

| And you would need food and water to survie. Ammo and guns would be hard to find and you can set up defenisve postions! |

A couple add-ons...
1.) I suggest you limit the amount of child characters. Sure, there could be couple.. But every character being a child? That's unoriginal.
2.) A fair warning: There's a high chance that your character will die. That'd make it MUCH more interesting. :3 |

This doesn't sound so original no more
People, may I direct you to a game called Dead Island?
Or...what was it called?
Basically it's a zombie game coming out which takes place on an island. There are little guns, and you have to rely on making your own weapons and stuff like kitchen knives or whatever

@EmacinpationSuite,
That sounds like a game I want to buy, I'll go look at it.

Fine, no island.
Anywhere else? |

@Captin,
Or you could just take refuge in the nearest building and hope for the best, rather than setting up defensive positions. :3
Hand-built forts n' such would bore me greatly. |

Character's dying? That's rare... :3 Anyways, From the island idea, maybe some type of outbreak of MCD, where the warheroes will go through like, steps and stages, finding a ham radio, getting support, having to wait thirty days or whatnot, you get me? :D |

Also...
I'd like to avoid the use of guns.
I know not of any guns, despite a pistol, rifle, and shotgun. <.< |

Include a anthro element and I would join, though if it were good enough I would join regardless... although this would probably end up killing it.
and the fact that most of you are probably going to reject that kind of thing |

@Sniper,
I meant 'warheroes' as a joke. I mean for the characters to be regular civilians.
Anyways, I like the idea of characters being able to die easily. That was my plan in the first place. |

I've got an idea.
Russia attempts to create a super weapon, a bio-organic weapon. However, it all goes wrong and leaks, essentially creating people into zombies. Like all diseases, there are the people immune to it. That would be us, the characters. The disease-like gas also cut everything like the internet, phones, and all electric waves, radio being the only thing that can pass through. The zombies end up destroying a lot of stuff. The disease would also affect most types of plants, except for tomatoes for an odd reason (hey, we gotta eat something vegetable related), and certain small animals. So most plants dies, creating a darker type of scenery.
or something

| Well, you could go with the idea for a couple of civilians having to charge headlong into the horde to find one character's missing relative. Maybe not headlong... |

@Emancip,
There would need to be info. behind the immune-to-the-disease idea. Perhaps, all of our characters could have a disorder of some sort? |

| Oooh, wherever we decide the setting would be, i think it should be in the middle of winter, in a very snowy area. |
