World War Z [Semi-Lit+] Accepting

[Clowesia]

((Yes, but logically if they have no legs and have to crawl that would make them substantially slower simply because of the massive amount of weight they'd have to pull along behind them. But then that just comes down to what their up-body strength is, are we talking about super-duper strong zombie or the basic rotting corpse? And then we could go into discussion that if they were a body builder in their "previous life" that would give them ample strength to pull themselves along quickly for a quite excellent crotch bite. And would they be army crawling or have their arms below them? That would effect speed and visibility. And are these decaying corpses? Or are they pretty kosher? xD I don't think decomposing muscle would be able to hold up a heavy torso without giving away.

And then comes in the factor of human experience, As Sunda is still alive, and has been for awhile, she would definitely know of what instinctual behavior a zombie would fall into. If she throws a grenade, that will give her about 10 seconds of time before they recouporate, to move to where she is needed before the [censored] start crawling after her. Then there's shrapnel. xD The initially blast zone, roughly 15 meters would be rendered useless pertaining to what grenade Sunda used. Like, if she used a incendiary grenade, the explosion would not some heads and arms off, if not make the closer zombies red rain; the shrapnel from this would easily take out a chunk of surrounding horde, but the resulting fire would do basically nothing. But if she used a grenade with serrated wire, well, that's going to be like a frog in a blender, I gather. xD And how would a zombie in this RP be effected by the resulting sound wave? That would be enough to stun a human, but what about a zombie?

And head-shots will have to be left to luck, close-range or other people. xD Looks like Sunda will be giving cover fire, mostly.

Omg, are we actually having a serious discussion about zombies and how to kill them? This is a first for me. xD!

As for the FNH I watched a documentary about the gun, apparently the Israeli army is very keen to start filtering them into their special forces, but that hasn't been started yet. Though, what that has to do with the gun being used in the military where she was, I have no idea. :I I'll just say they had a stock-pile of many different weapons in a bunker and Sunda just took the one that matched her Versace suit.))

[ .. You really need to get The Zombie Survival Guide.. xD Their decomposition and speed depends on how long they've been infected and their wounds. According to the stupid book I've read over five times, the average zombie pace is only 2.1 steps per second.. And the legless ones only move .05 miles in an hour. x3 Zombies also cannot gain muscle mass, only lose it, they therefore become progressively weaker.

Speed isn't the factor; it's just the whole idea that you wouldn't notice a legless corpse lying on the ground, meaning it could grab you and take a chunk out of your ankle if you missed even one zombie after throwing a grenade. Plus, if it is still alive, it poses a hazard to other survivors as it is out of their line of sight.

Incendiary grenades are where the whole they-don't-feel-pain thing comes in. Fire has no allies, catching zombies on fire is basically turning them into a walking, or to be more accurate shambling torch. Being caught on fire and bitten is a painful prospect.

The aftershock of a grenade is contributed to nerves, which are all dead in a zombie, and (possibly, I'm not a frigging doctor) to the Eustation tubes in the ears ,which are filled with fluid that would be viscous in a zombie. Flash grenades and other weapons contributed to conventional warfare would be completely useless. And the whole "red rain" thing has a high chance of infecting anyone nearby with congealed zombie fluids.

I'd had quite a few conversations about killing zombies. :'D Good times..

Oh, and I might be introducing these lovely things called Quislings later on. (Yay for annoying plot twists.) They're humans who couldn't take the pressure and simply desired to become like their aggressors. They're not infected, but they act just like zombies. The feel no pain thanks to some mind-over-matter [censored] I don't understand and will continue to attack after being wounded. -will explain more later- x3 ]

((I will definitely keep my eye out for it, sounds interesting! x3
I don't think Sunda will be using flash or smoke grenades that would be pointless. xD
And tactically speaking, grenades could come in handy in different situations.
Need to knock out the support beams on the ground floor of a second story building so you can collapse the whole thing in on some zombie /b/tards chasing you? xD
Yes, I have been thinking about future zombie extermination plans. ;D

Question, how long does it take for an infected person to start showing symptoms? And how long has the zombie problem been going on for? Can animals be infected? Could they be carriers? Could there be humans carriers? =o

And Quislings? They sound interesting. 8 D And as for feeling no pain? Sounds like a kick of adrenalin, you can do allllll~ kinds of things when that gets pumpin'.))

[ ... I'd have to go find the book. My dad all stole of them to read. >>'' I know that the wound clots immediately and starts to bruise purple or brown within minutes.. After death it can be minutes to hours before they get up and try to eat you..

Oright, I wrote all that down on my old RP.. I would copy and paste but it's extremely long. xD

[x] (hit ctrl + f and search i. Zombies, Eat Flesh to find it faster.. :3

Animals die after infection, no matter the serverity of the wound.. As for the zombie war, it's been going on for about a decade.. everybody knows about them and how to fight them, unless their last name happens to be van Winkle... ]

Name: Lucie "Lou-Lou" Greene
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Personality: ( I'll write in some basic stuff... ) Lucie is extremely shy, especially since the whole zombie thing. She isn't quick to trust people and usually avoids situations where she might have to depend on someone. She prefers to listen, on the whole, and because of this she is quick to pick up on people's flaws. She uses this knowledge as a method of defence, if the said person were ever to pick on her. If someone was to break through this barrier of wariness, inside is a loyal and giving girl, who is willing to put her life on the line for friends.
Description: Lucie is quite small for her age, and skinny. She has blonde - almost white- hair, which falls to the middle of her back. The bottom quarter of her hair is coloured in all the colours of the rainbow, though whether it is dyed or not, she will never say. Her eyes are large, and draw the most of the attention on her face, they are a dark blue, and the lashes that surround them are long.
Strengths: She has the ability to remain completely still and silent in even the most nerve-racking of moments. She also has a uncanny ability to find tiny nooks and crannies, and will then remember them in times that she needs them.
Weaknesses: Her shyness. She sometimes finds it hard to communicate with people, especially older people and boys, - she either speaks extremely fast, or just stands and gorms until the person speaks. She is also useless with guns, so in difficult situations she will either use her hands, or run.
History: In her younger days, she lived with her two adopted sisters, Rin and Sakura. When most of the town, began to get infected, she and her sisters left, leaving they're infected mother and father behind.
WOC: Roman Gladius
SWOC: Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife
Other: N/A

( I will add Rin and Sakura in a bit. )

( EDIT: Added ^^; )

[Phantasmagoria]

[ Accepted, but just a note. Conventional karate is basically useless against zombies; they have unlimited stamina and can rip out of even the strongest holds, and it's been nearly centuries since karate has been used in fatal combat, therefore the whole "this hit will break their neck" thing is untested.. Though using the knife in combination would help.. ]

[pancreas]

( I guess... But as I myself have no knowledge on guns, I thought it would be pointless her using a gun as a weapon. x3 )

[Phantasmagoria]

[ There are these lovely things called swords.. ;D The Roman Gladius is one pretty much anyone could control. (The German Zweihänder, not so much. x3) ]

[pancreas]

( Okie, cool. ^^; Will edit when I get back from the stables. )

Name: Rin "Ri" or "Ri-Ri" ( She is an orphan and doesn't know her parents, therefore she has no last name. )
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Personality: She is the serious one, and is fairly quiet. She is a pessimist, and is quick to see the bad side of things, usually twisting them as well, to make them seem worse. She treats Sakura as a much younger sister, even though they are the same age. She acts alot older that she is, and can be quite violent when provoked. ( Eh, she sounds like a bull... x3 )
Description: For her age, Rin is quite tall. She has long black hair, that is straight and falls to the bottom of her back. Her eyes are grey and seem expressionless most of the time.
Strengths: Her ability to shut people up when she looks at them hard enough. ( xD ) She is also a really fast runner, and uses this to get her and Sakura out of sticky situations.
Weaknesses: Her inability to talk to people she doesn't know. She just stares at them until they move away. Her violence, although it can be good when she's fighting, it can also make her enemies fairly fast.
History: Her birth parents died not long after her and Sakura's fifth birthday. They don't know how they died, but they heard rumours that they had committed suicide, or had been murdered.
WOC: Backwoods Choppers Machete.
SWOC:
Other: N/A

( Adding Sakura in a second. )

[pancreas]

Name: Sakura "Sa-Sa" ( Same as with Rin. ^^; )
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Personality: Basically the opposite of Rin. They are both clever, though...
Description: She is smaller, but still as skinny as Rin. Black hair that she has cut in a bob. The underside of her fringe is dyed pink. She has dark purple eyes that look more dark blue.
Strengths: She is great at working out puzzles. Which is good when you need to think on your feet... She enjoys being part of a team, and will happily lead people if they need her too.
Weaknesses: She hates killing things. Even if its a zombie.
History: ( The same as Rin's. ) They were found by Lucie and her parents, who looked after them until Lucie's parents were infected. Then they just ran to this city.
