The Virus: Zombie apocalypse.

[Fungus A]

Begin transmission:

I would like to request a full evacuation of all civilian,industrial and feral training planets. According to patterns, the seed along with it's extensive network of hosts is headed straight for holy Terra it'self. This threat outweighs even that of the heretics and xenos, this is top priority.

Upon further investigation of the planet brontissa, believed to have been devoid of life since exterminatus, several organisms were found, i believe you know of this already, but to confirm, those organisms have been declared hostile and infectios, they have caused an extraordinary outbreak on three hive planets, two feral worlds and an industrial planet, smaller outbreaks have been spotted on several forge worlds and even Aerius. We have little chance of surviving this unless we combine the imperial forces and fight against it.

Inquisitor Damius of Armageddon.

Rules:

Your role is to survive, and I will control the zombies along with two others, I'll need about three people before we can start.

Template:

Name: applys to survivors only
Rank: survivors:Private to sarge. Zombie: The soul(Me) Puppetmasters.
Type: Zombie, Space Marine, Imperial guardsman, Space marine scout or Feral human.
Weapons: No heavy weapons, flamers, heavy bolters and missile launchers however are allowed. only one close combat weapon, unless feral human, they can only have close combat weapons.
Skills: what your character does, for zombies; which types of zombies you control.
Bio: survivors only.

Zombie rules: The zombie players may choose three different types of zombies to control, I Control four (the leftover zombie type stays out of the roleplay), these zombie types have limited amounts to be roleplaying as per time:

(Me)Basic zombies: Up to forty of these may be included in a scene. The basic zombies are the humans form the hive worlds that have been genetically altered and re-animated. They are the bulk of the zombie threat, all of them carry the infecting gene. They use thier hands and muscles to overwhelm foes and have no other abilites apart from punching, grabbing and attacking with thier hands, mouths and feet.

Beserk zombies: Up to four of these per scene. These zombies are the infected form of feral humans, they have long claws and long teeth, they are faster and slightly more dangerous then basic zombies.

Seeker zombies: Up to four per scene. These are basic zombies that have powerful arms and legs, thier hands have mutated into long fingers with webs in between them, thier toes ont hier feet are longer and are webbed and they have amazing senses, they are less dangerous than beserk zombies but they can pursue survivors and are the fastest two legged zombies.

(LewisC)Siren zombies: Up to four of these per scene. These zombies are slow and have a human shape, but they have enormous chests and skinny limbs, when alerted they scream and wail loudly alerting the other zombies to thier location.

(LewisC)Noxious zombies: up to two of these zombies per scene. these zombies are weaker then the basic zombie, but give off an airborne strain of the virus, when attacking they breathe horrible gas everywhere and can suffocate the survivors, these zombies cause the most infections of dead bodies.

(LewisC)Acid zombies: up to two per scene. These zombies are physically frail but they vomit a corrosive substance on foes which slowly burns flesh and destroys armour. These zombies splatter corrosive liquid everywhere and foul smelling bile which alerts other zombies to the survivors when they are killed.

(Me)Hulking zombies: up to two per scene. These zombies are a horrible combination of other zombies, twice the size of the normal zombie, they have stubby claws and powerful limbs, they have no sense of smell or hearing and are partially blind, they arent alerted along with other zombies, instead they simply wander around the port and when they see survivors they attack, they are however alerted by the psychic zombie.

Psychic zombies: Up to two per scene. these zombies are frail, but they have the ability to alert the entire horde to the survivors, even the zombies that are not normally attracted. Psychic zombies also cause terror in the bravest of humans and they have several, long sinew like limbs, that flail and thrash around, grabbing survivors and sometimes rending them apart.

(Me)Swarms: Up to one swarm per scene. These zombies are horrible mutations of smaller animals and limbs, they scuttle along the ground massed in enormous swarms, engulfing foes in hundreds of poisonous bites and claws.

Gargantuan zombies: Up to one per scene. These are enormous variations of the hulking zombie, capable of crushing terminators with one fist, They act like the hulking zombies, in much the same way, although these zombies have better vision and are alerted by the psychic zombie.

Monster zombies: Up to one per scene: These are grotezque multilated corpses joined together in a giant slug like abomination, they are enormously hard to kill and have several long limbs, like the psychic zombie, they are blind and can only find the survivors through other means.

(Me)Enviromental zombies: These zombies are zombies that have been melded into walls, or are simply limbs that claw at the survivors as they walk near them, mouths that are part of the floor, that scream when survivors are near, or tentacles that crush the survivors through walls, these zombies are constantly in the scene and only certain parts of them can be killed, such as cutting the tentacle off with a chainsaw, or blowing the eyes and mouths away with bolter fire.

In the end, the survivors win, but it's not the winning that counts, it's the getting there, zombies cannot kill survivors with one hit and survivors are immune to being infected. the zombies must kill the survivors, but at least one survivor must reach the seventh spire, none of the survivors can die, only be knocked out, pinned or await rescue.

We are set in a space dock on a hive planet, the survivors are part of the many defenders of the planet, although they must escape and reach the remaining defneders at the seventh spire, this is a long way away, and requires full co-operation, I won't tolerate G-modding and people getting aggresive with eachother.

Enjoy!

(I'll post this, then at least 1 survivor must post before the zombies can.)

The mighty halls and corridors of the 3rd spire Echoed with footsteps, Although the virus had spread violently, it's effects had not consumed all of it's targets, The soul of the virus, what caused sentience among it's many hosts, had began a mutation process, to eliminate those that were still resisting. The footsteps were accompanied by claws, scuttling and occasional moans, sometimes those that were early in the mutation process, regained their conscious mind and would howl and scream for help. The soul sent it's mighty signal throughout the galaxy, a select few of the hosts would become the most gruesome weapons ever to plague mankind...

The survivors that were left in the great hall of spire Three had no time left to prepare for what was to come!

[Esiphas]

harry turned around. to look at the rest of his squad. "red, your weapons ready? castello, yours?" hearing a nasty moan, he said "sounds lioke we have company."

[Lewis C.]

A group of frail creatures seemed to move in slow motion as they approached the survivors. One noticed the group and threw its skinny arms into the air. As it did so, the large chest it owned expanded even more then seemed to collapse in. A scream split through the air and the single creature was accompanied by three others, creating a wailing screech that echoed through the streets. All four sirens slumped down onto their knees as a pair of figures appeared atop of one of the roofs with a rough, smokers-like cough. It coughed a few more times before throwing up a large amount noxious smoke that seemed to spread through the air like wildfire. After which the blanket of infection smoke started to fall through the air, to suffocate the remaining survivors.

[lillsquirt2]

"My weapons are fine, except THIS IS A NO SMOKING AREA!", firing his strom bolter into the smoker, then activating his flamer to set the gas alite, now light fire started to tinge the undead, it wouldn't slow them down, but make them easier to kill...

Lower his gaze to the undead he activates his power axe, swaps his strom bolter for his pistol and prepares to charge just before they reach him...

[Fungus A]

(Smoker?, I'll let you be a techmarine, but essentially you'll just slow everybody down, all you got going for you is ammunition...)

The horrible gases smell stimulated the response, About thirty odd zombies raised thier heads, thier balding heads, twisted in agony. A terrible chorus of howling and growling peirced the air, the zombies all ran towards the thick fog. Thier ears still captivated by the wavering screaming of the sirens. A horrible echo of footsteps filled the corridors, flailing and clawing they began to beat thier way through the door. The vague attempts to kill the survivors by the mutated infected was not going to work until the huge metal doors were destroyed. Then after most of the zombies had become confused, damaged themselves on the door, or started fighting amongst eachother, the heavy thudding of feet came. A roar that shook the floor acompanyed three heavy thuds, The door began to buckle, another three thuds, the door renched inwards, showing the shadows of thirty odd legs, the final thud, the huge fist burst through the door and bent it open in the middle. Ten zombies just managed to squeeze through before the hulking zombie rammed one of the doors away and burst through, another twenty zombies, lustful for flesh opened the way to a labyrinth of trials.

Fungus, Slow and Purposfull, thats me ^_^ (From luigis last post:

pair of figures appeared atop of one of the roofs with a rough, smokers-like coug

That gas zombie sounds like the smoker from left for dead 2)

As the Tank (that giant zombie) smashes though I raise my bolt pistol crack a shot off in the direction if his face as my plasma cutter does the same thing before charging into the hord, my axe and servo arms cutting my way though to it, arbiet risky as I was not really concentrating on them and they could get lucky and swarm me if I wasn't carefull. If I could get the first hit on the Tank by the others and myself weakening it first, we'd might be able to stop it. Either way, if I did kill it, such a task would leave me vunerble to the common infected...

(If you read the thread it tells you the names of all the zombies and what they do etc. It's not L4D, the only similarity is that it's based on zombies, also the hulking zombie is actually pretty weak, he's just a big body builder, some bolter fire or a couple of sniper shots should bring him down easy, but watch out, he's pretty fast and if left alone can deal a lot of damage.)

The hulking zombie snorted and growled, rasing it's arms it charged forwards, ignoring oncoming fire, it then smashed it's fist downwards at the techmarine, completely missed and then brought it's fists at shoulder height with the techmarine. With a graceful (for a zombie) movement, it slammed it's shoulder into the techmarine, wrapped it's other fist around two of the servo arms and ran into the nearest wall. The articifer armour protected against most of the damage, but the two servo-arms lay on the floor, twitching. The hulking zombie recovered from the impact very quickly and then leapt on the techmarine with all of it's force, clutching onto the techmarines shoulders it proceeded to throw him to the ground and it then started trying to literally tear his arms off. In the meantime the other zombies poured in, now about thirty five zombies had began to claw at the survivors, swarming around in large mobs, although relativly weak alone, the zombies seemed to be extrordinarily self-aware and aware of thier kin, as if when in battle, they were orchestrated and choreographed.
