Welcome to Gaia! ::

The origins of the zombie outbreak are ambiguous. All humans become zombies upon their deaths unless their bodies are properly disposed of. Zombie bites are not responsible for resurrecting humans as zombies. However, zombies bites are highly infectious and can kill a healthy human within hours. Shortly after their death, that human will resurrect as a zombie. The only way to kill a zombie is to destroy its brain. Simple decapitation is insufficient, as a zombie's decapitated head will still attempt to bite as long as its brain remains active. An innovation I am including in this roleplay is the "lich". A lich is a zombie that has managed to retain its intellect. The only way to achieve this is by keeping the brain oxygenated after the body has died.

Zombies eat flesh and drink blood to obtain the "lifeforce" of the living, which keeps their bodies from decaying as they normally would. To help them locate this lifeforce, zombies develop a kind of aura vision. To zombies, the dead appear as shapes filled with darkness, figures of shadowy smoke floating on a background of pure white. The living, on the other hand, appear as shapes filled with a beautiful, radiant gold, figures of warmth and light that must be touched and tasted.

In this roleplay, zombies possess a variety of supernatural powers. However, only liches are actually capable of using them. These powers are mostly based on manipulating auras. For example, withdrawing one's aura into one's self enables one to become temporarily invisible.

Liches are also capable of organizing other zombies.

Biography: "Nilla" doesn't remember much about her former life. She remembers being attacked and bitten by a dead man. She remembers pain, intense and real, far more real than anything else in her memory, as thirty-two needles sank into her shoulder, into her skin, his teeth. Everything else is torn away, leaving ragged edges, bloody sockets. Everything else is gone. For instance: she doesn’t remember her name.
