Zombie Survival

1. #1Porters

   Keys: Porter, Airporter

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Porter, Airporter: The first of the Important Importers, the Porters operate from abandoned airports, running flight crews for scavenging missions and temporary landings. Their mysterious home base remains unknown, but they are crucial for transporting high-value goods across the wasteland. Survivors rely on them for rare supplies—if they can afford the steep prices.

2. #2Cities

   Keys: Great Ruins, Cities, Red Zones

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Cities, Great Ruins, Red Zones: America’s cities, once symbols of prosperity and progress, now stand as grim monuments to the collapse of civilization. Skyscrapers loom like skeletal remains, their shattered windows staring blankly over streets littered with rusted cars and bleached bones. Places like New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago were hit hardest—dense populations turned them into slaughterhouses when the outbreak began. Now, they are labyrinths of death, where the echoes of the past mix with the moans of the undead. Yet, these ruins hold the richest caches of supplies: abandoned hospitals with dwindling medicine, military checkpoints with forgotten weapons, and grocery stores with canned goods just waiting to be claimed—if you’re willing to brave the horrors within.

3. #3Urban Sprawl

   Keys: Yellow Zone, Urban, Outskirts

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Urban, Outskirts, Yellow Zone: The sprawling outskirts of cities—once a blend of suburban comfort and industrial utility—now teeter on the edge of chaos. Subdivisions, strip malls, and warehouses offer a tempting mix of potential resources, from canned goods in abandoned pantries to tools and fuel in neglected garages. Yet, this scattered landscape is a double-edged sword: the open spaces make movement easier, but the sheer sprawl also means you’re never far from a lurking threat. The undead here roam in unpredictable patterns, and the occasional human survivor you encounter could be either an ally or a deadly opportunist. Every quiet street is a potential ambush, every house a gamble—some might hold life-saving supplies, while others could trap you in a death sentence. In these liminal zones, survival demands vigilance, adaptability, and a healthy dose of paranoia.

4. #4Suburban

   Keys: Green Zone, Suburban, Suburbia

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Suburban, Suburbia, Green Zone: The suburbs were once the first to fall—their quiet streets and open homes made them easy targets in the early days of the outbreak. Now, they stand picked clean, their houses ransacked and stripped of anything useful, leaving behind only empty cabinets and broken dreams. For survivors, they offer a deceptive sense of safety: the low zombie population and scattered buildings make it easier to avoid detection, but the lack of resources means you’ll never stay long. Small groups of survivors sometimes linger, either hiding in basements or patrolling their claimed territory, but the occasional wandering horde still drifts through, drawn by noise or movement. It’s a place for those who want to survive—but not for those who want to thrive.

5. #5Lurker

   Keys: Lurker, Stalker, Lunger, The Strong

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Lurker, Stalker, Lunger, The Strong: A shambling, hunched figure that blends into crowds of the undead. Unlike others, it occasionally lunges forward with surprising speed to grab or bite its prey, often catching victims off guard. However, it quickly returns to its slow, lumbering state after the initial burst, making it a sporadic but dangerous threat.

6. #6Reacher

   Keys: Hider, Reacher, The Stealthy, Grasper

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Reacher, Grasper, Hider, The Stealthy: A skeletal figure, barely more than skin and bone, the Reacher slinks between furniture and debris, its emaciated frame allowing it to vanish into the clutter of the fallen world. It moves with eerie silence, its long, spindly arms stretching out from behind cover—doorways, overturned cars, broken furniture—snatching at the unwary.

7. #7Bloated One

   Keys: Bloated One, Exploder, The Disgusting, Gasbag

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Bloated One, Gasbag, Exploder, The Disgusting: A swollen, decayed figure that oozes a foul, viscous fluid. Its body is highly volatile, and when destroyed, it bursts, spreading its toxic sludge in a small radius. While slow and clumsy, its explosive nature makes it a hazard in close-quarters encounters.

8. #8Brute

   Keys: Crusher, The Strong, Brute, Breaker

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Brute, Crusher, Breaker, The Strong: A larger, heavily built zombie that moves with slow but powerful strides. Its strength allows it to break through barriers or shove aside obstacles, making it harder to escape or fend off. Despite its size, it remains as slow and uncoordinated as the rest, relying on sheer force rather than speed.

9. #9Creeper

   Keys: Wanderer, Drifter, Creeper, The Stealthy

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Creeper, Drifter, Wanderer, The Stealthy: A predator of the dark, drawn to sound and warmth like a moth to flame. It freezes when exposed to light, collapsing into a lifeless heap, but in the shadows, it moves with a slow, predatory grace—silent, patient, and inescapable. Its presence turns every unlit corner into a potential death trap.

10. #10Leaker

    Keys: The Disgusting, Dripper, Oozer, Leaker

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Leaker, Dripper, Oozer, The Disgusting: A decomposing, sickly figure that leaves trails of foul-smelling fluid as it moves. The fluid can attract other zombies or create slippery, hazardous areas. Its slow, stumbling gait makes it easy to avoid, but its lingering effects can complicate survival.

11. #11Survivors

    Keys: Humanity, Survivor

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Survivor, Humanity: In this broken world, survivors are a scattered, resourceful breed, hardened by loss and driven by the need to endure. They scavenge for scraps in the ruins of civilization, constantly on the move to evade both the undead and the living threats that now rule the wasteland. Trust is a rare commodity, and communities are small, often fortified in makeshift strongholds where they barricade themselves against the horrors outside.

12. #12Rural

    Keys: Hinterlands, Rural, Frontier

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Rural, Frontier, Hinterlands: The countryside offers a deceptive calm, far removed from the chaotic hordes of the cities. Here, the undead are sparse, wandering aimlessly through fields and forests, but the isolation breeds complacency—survivors often let their guard down, only to fall victim to ambushes by both zombies hiding in the tall grass and desperate humans lurking in abandoned barns. Resources are scarce, the land having been stripped bare by early scavengers, yet the occasional untouched farmhouse or forgotten hunting lodge might yield rare finds like ammunition, seeds, or tools. The true bounty lies in nature itself: fresh water, wild game, and edible plants provide sustenance for those willing to forage and hunt. In the rural expanse, survival hinges on vigilance, patience, and the ability to turn nature’s gifts into a lifeline.

    Always on · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Bartering, Economy, Trade, Salvage: In the post-collapse world, bartering has replaced traditional currency as the cornerstone of the economy, with goods and services traded directly based on their immediate value to survival. Essential items like food, water, and ammunition are the most sought-after commodities, often exchanged for labor, protection, or other scarce resources. Trust and reputation play a critical role, as deals are made on the spot, and the ability to negotiate or trade efficiently can mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

    Entry settings

    Trucker, Trucka: The second of the Important Importers, Truckers roam as nomadic clans in massive convoys, their allegiance varying by group—some trade fairly, while others are little better than raiders. Their knowledge of old highways and hidden routes makes them indispensable, but crossing the wrong clan can be deadly. Fuel and spare parts are their currency, and they protect both fiercely.

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Rebel, Raider, Marauder, Gang: A catch-all term for raiders, warlords, and ruthless gangs, Rebels prey on the weak, taking what they want by force.

    Cannibals, Cannibal, Man-eaters, Man-eater, Freak, Freaks: Once ordinary people, Cannibals now see other survivors as nothing more than meat. Whether driven by starvation or madness, they hunt in the shadows, disguising themselves among refugees or setting up traps. Their presence is often betrayed by the smell of roasting flesh—and the absence of any animals nearby.

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Delta, Delta Squad: A mysterious group of well-equipped survivors, Delta operatives appear in the most unlikely places, offering aid without explanation.

    Important Importer, Importer: The Porters, Truckers, and Dockmen are collectively known as the Important Importers, the three factions keeping trade alive in the wasteland.

The community has repurposed old aircraft hangars into fortified living quarters and uses planes for both scavenging missions and emergency evacuations. Midland’s residents maintain a strict curfew and patrol system, ensuring the skies and land remain secure from the relentless undead. Midland acts as the secretive home-base to the Porters.
