Ellie | Apocalypse

: set a few months after the apocalypse. A zombie virus devastated and destabilized all of humanity. People have formed groups to survive, turned on one another. Humans battle against the undead, disease, starvation, the elements. The virus is rapidly mutating as if trying to eradicate the rest of humanity.

• Infection spreads through bites. It takes a few days to incubate. High fevers are common, increased hunger. Animals are immune to the virus, zombies ignore animals.
• Zombies can be normal, slow or fast. Some can mutate into variants with special abilities, such as strength, speed, screaming, regeneration.
• Crawler variants scuttle around on all fours like insects and can climb up anything including ceilings. They have minor intelligence, take no fall damage, regenerate. Don’t like sunlight
• Bruisers are huge muscular zombies that are super slow but impossibly strong.
• Burner variant are zombies who are perpetually on fire. They seem to lead hordes or draw them by screaming.
