Brains {O/A}

Brains a zombie memoir by Robin Becker.
This role play barely follows the book, more like giving credit to where the idea came from than really continuing the book.

The Past

The infection started back in 2009, July 4th 2009 to be exact.
At first the living weren't sure what was going on, but after millions world-wide died the governments made their first move. They sent their ground-workers {Army and such} to clear the lands of zombies; they were sent out to collect the less-active ones and to kill the rest. The water-workers {Navy} were sent out to clear the Ocean of infection and to find survivors from other lands. The air-workers {Air Force and such} were sent out to eliminate the larger infected areas.
The ground-workers were able to do their job until a group of special zombies were captured and brought freedom with them. The ground-workers were either turned or left their base before the zombies broke out.
The water-workers were sent out but most of the ships were never seen again, no one knows what happened out at sea but the bodies found floating in the water left more questions than answers. How could they have starved while there were fish in the sea? Why didn't they return home in their ships when they were running low on food? Were there infected on the ships? Is our Ocean infected? So many questions, yet no answers came.
The air-workers, well not much was reported on them. They just vanished, never to return home. Some think it was the weather, others thought it was the zombies that took them down when they stopped to gas up, some even think they left for some un-infected Island. No one really knows what happened to them. Will we ever find them?

The Zombie's side.

The first ship to return home was lead by special zombies; ones that could think, talk, write, use weapons, repair bodies, the special "chosen ones." When they came to shore in 2010 they asked to see their maker, the source of the infection- the human that wiped out most of the human population because of one mistake. When they were allowed to see their "father" their offer to join with the humans as equals were shot down- literally. They lost most of their group in the search for peace, once they escaped they seemed to vanish. Where did they go?
The first zombie child, 2010. A mindless zombie nick named "Eve" gave birth to an undead child. She was eight months pregnant before infection and the first special zombie kidnapped "Eve" and turned her. The child was lost in the Ocean during the winter of 2010 but found before the ship mentioned before finally came back home. What happened to that child?

Posts will be set in the time/date you post, years may go by between replies so this allows us to be freed from lack of replies and such.
Make your temperature {weather} match your month; unless you're in an area that has similar weather all year long it should change with your posts.

Years have passed since the first known infection, the zombies have changed and so has the human race. The few survivors left will decide our fate, without a government leading the way what will happen?
Will the humans and zombies join as one force, or continue this never-ending war against the living and the dead?
Who will survive? It is up to you to decide.

Bio: I was with some of my girls when the infection reached my town, one of those things came after me, well I thought it was after me. It bit my friend's ear off and kept on going.. I'm not sure what came over me, I took my high heels off and used the three inch heel to smash his skull in. He looked like he had been dead for a few days, and I hit through his ear first to so he went down somewhat easily.. I-i mean it went down easily.. We took my friend to the hospital but it was too late, by the time we got her help she had already died, or so we thought.. She started attacking the nurse and other people started coming back to life all around us. I lost my two best friends that day, when I ran from that hospital I didn't stop until I got home. I didn't even remember the car, I just ran.. All there was left of my family was blood and body parts, that was the last time I went home. I've been traveling since then, never staying in the same place for more than a day or so depending on how good of a hideout it is and how much food I can find around it.

Bio: I worked part time in my dad's bookstore, since my mom died during childbirth my dad needed all the help he could get with the store they started together. It wasn't so bad, I could study whenever I wanted and even for a big city not that many people came to our shop. I didn't have many friends, always had my nose stuck in a book or running the track at my school. It isn't that I didn't like people, I just wanted to be a doctor as soon as I could and there's more to study for that than you'd think. Running helps clear my mind, at least it usually does. I was out for my afternoon jog when my dad called me, he was on the way to the hospital after some crazy woman attacked him. He said he'd be fine and that I should head home soon, with all the weird things going on he didn't want me out alone. I didn't go back home. I caught a taxi right up to the hospital to see how my dad was doing. He didn't look as fine as he said he was.
It wasn't long before I got there that he suddenly stopped breathing, he had died. to avoid the pain I went right to work on trying to figure out what happened to him. The hospital was quickly being overrun by injured people with similar stories to what my dad had said. They were all dying from bites that weren't bad enough to kill, maybe even something in the bites. Whatever it was, my dad's right arm had been covered in bites, one one being deep. Like he had said, it looked like someone had just chewed all over his arm in a fight. It wasn't long before they started waking up again, at first everyone was so happy. A nurse had come running to me to tell me my dad had opened his eyes and was being examined by another nurse.
What I saw when we got back to his room wasn't my father. My father was kind and gentle, the type that could easily be seen opening a door to let a fly out rather than killing it. That thing in my father's skin wasn't him. It was covered in blood, blood of the nurse who was said to be examining him. People started screaming from all around. Panicked reports of the morgue having to be chained closed, the dead coming back and acting like rabid animals.
School had been canceled and it was easy to see that whatever happened in that hospital hadn't been contained. My bookstore had been closed since that visit, the dead had taken over the streets. I was trapped in our apartment above the bookstore.

Bio: I was a model before I was infected, people looked up to me and wanted to be just like me. Even with everyone around me going down the wrong path I always stayed true to who I was, I never gave into peer pressure and kept my free will. I love people, that won't ever change even though I've been dead for awhile now. I do my best not to eat people, but like I said I love people- they taste so good when they're fresh. Since 2010 I have been tied up and caged, because I tried to get free from the rope I have rope burns that almost go down to the bone. I've been shot in the stomach a few times; a nice lady duck taped my whole stomach so my insides stay in. Such a nice lady, she had the same spark in her eyes that I had in mine. She must have known we were both special. I wasn't able to travel with her though, she had her own group of special zombies. Unlike the other zombies I've stayed away from the water, I never did like it. When winter comes around I find weird places to hide, I can't feel my body anymore but I can tell when its winter because I can't move so well. My skin has been rotting off lately, but I keep myself together with whatever I can find, the nice lady did it for me once so I figured I could do it to. I can't talk but I at least have my mind, I haven't tried writing anything in a very long time. Who could I write to if I did? The humans? Don't make me laugh, not only because that's a stupid idea but because I fear I may lose my jaw if I move it too much. My hair doesn't look as good as it used to, but I'm not sure what it really looks like. Last time I checked I still had a full head of hair, I wonder how much longer that will last?

Bio: Adam finished off his 10th grade and was enjoying the many great things about summer when it first appeared on the news of people going insane and attacking people. Adam didn't really think anything of it and when along with his summer. When the military was sent out, he started to worry, there was no real way to track the infection and it was spreading quickly. Adam decided to go to the comminty pool one day. He took a short walk to find the pool filled with blood, body's floating about in the water as a few stirred, moaning as they limped near him. Adam's eyes went wide, finally comprehending what this all really was, and fear where he will end up in this mess. Adam sprinted down the street, screams and moans can be heard as he ran back home just in time to see his father shoot the brains out of mother then himself. He just stared at the body's for a while until the moaning got loud, he thought on his feet, taking his empty school bag, taking canned food, some soda, the larger kitchen knives, the gun, a 375. Smith and Weston revolver and some ammo before running out the window and out of his little piece of suburbia and to the city, he has been running about since, staying only to collect as much as he can then leaves.
