I got an idea for a non-cannon for fun side story to the RP.
Zombies.
Not L4D or NotLD zombies, more like Marvel zombies.
The RP starts with one or two characters (depending on how many will join) already infected, and everyone else is trying to survive. The infected characters retain their powers, skills, and memories, but now rot at an accelerated pace and have a hunger for human flesh (they will not eat each other, however.)
The Zombies (as stated above) have everything they had in life, plus they can live without a limb or with a mortal wound, so long as the spine and brain are okay. However, since they are rotting so quickly, they are more easily damaged than they would have been in life. In addition, they have an intense hunger that they can not ignore nor overcome simply through force of will. They also have the ability to infect, instead of devour. If they simply bite an enemy, that enemy will enter a comatose state after a short period of time (the time is variable and depends largely on how large the body is and how bad the bite was) before they awaken and turn into an undead. If the survivor is resistant (or even immune) to poisons then the process will take longer, however just this will not stop it. They can also be simply devoured, in which case they will not revive nor turn at all.
The survivors, in turn, must (as noted in their name) survive the attacks. Their goals are variable depending on the thread in question (it may be escape the city, get to the harbor, etc.) but they are essentially just trying to eliminate all of the zombies before they themselves are wiped out, in which case the "winner" is the Infected that finally took out the final survivor.
That's my idea. Any thoughts?
EDIT:
1.No machines/artificial creatures that can resist this sort of thing. That hardly seems fair now doesn't it?
