Zombies are the re-animated humans that have become infected with a viral disease know as solunum, and is spread by bites or sometimes even scratches can be lethal. Zombies retain no intelligence or memory of their past before they became what they are now, however their bodies react to the most basic of needs, the need to feed. Meaning, you, the survivor is their main course and will stop unfortunately at nothing until you have become either consumed or just plain simple nibbled on and you become one of them. Some weaknesses of zombies include them being significantely slower than humans so you can outrun them quite easily. Zombies also are heavily dependant upon their senses of sound and scent, they don't need to see you in order to know your their. But because of this factor, some people have actually tried masking their scent with things like dirt, it is effective, but it may not always be successful in hiding you, try not to make too many risks... Luck can't last forever.

smother yourself in organ juice and gore. They won't be able to smell you.

Zombies are no match for the war veteran or top notch marathon man, but if your athletic skill isn't exactly high, you could have some trouble, zombies aren't fast, but they won't wait for you to catch your breath, you need to make sure you conserve what energy you may have, don't run unless you need to.

You may notice that some zombies are missing possibly a few body parts, perhaps an arm or ear, possibly even an eye, but they won't stop until they have been slain.

Some scientists predict that zombies will instead of being the slow and sluggish creatures they are, they instead will just become 500% more aggresive and violent than the average human, and will kill on sight. eek But with a large group of people you'll have a higher chance to survive against these paranoid and violent humans.
Just be prepared for either one.

It is a possibility, that zombies can be distracted with bait, but it's not a guarantee they will take the bait, some baits can be considered as cows, or wild animals like rats.

Animals have a natural instinct to steer clear of zombies, although it is not known why, however, they know, they "KNOW" that they must avoid zombies, because of the virus embedded in the zombie.

Types Of Infected: (got this from another zombie rp guild, thought it might help)
Walkers: These zombies are very slow, basically since they only walk which makes them easy to kill with any weapon but however they tend to be in large groups so guns are recommended for large groups of these types of zombies.
Runners: These zombies are easy to kill but they run fast so it's risky to try and kill them with meele weapon. In order words it's more recomendable to use a gun against them. When they are in a group it's better to run or to kill them from a far but the risk is high when fighting in a close range.
Tyrants: These zombies are highly strong so MOST meele weapon and guns are pretty much useless when it comes to tyrants. Its weak spot is the head so any hit that is not in the head will have no effect. Tyrants like to ram people and then slam them aginst anything. They like their food dead.
Crawlers: These zombies have the ability to climb building and trees. The like to sneak up on their prey and ambush them. They are mostly in groups of 1-5 If its only one human they will fight for it.
Blobs: These are basically zombies in which the infection was so strong that it burned the subjects skin and it turned it into a strange substance. They spit acid and weapons are all useless against them. They have a weakness to fire though so flamethrowers can help. They mostly creep around the sewers, dark alleys and the scrapyard.
Mutants: Most of these are part human, part infection. They are not cannibals but they do receive certain powers from the infection. Most of these can also think and just worry about surviving . All of the mutants where failed experiments but also new discoveries.

I dont wanna be disrespectful, because its ultimately the choice of the owner of the Guild to choose the type of zombie.
But, as a zombie writer, I am kinda noticing that you are kinda mixing up the Types of zombies that you wanna use. Which will ultimately create too much chaos for a survivor to live through.
If you wanna go with Scientific zombies, then details on them are not conclusive to say whether you are right or not.
If you wanna go with Max Brooks (because its easier when zombies strains are created FOR you instead of making one yourself):
A Scientific zombie, a zombie made by a virus or illness of some sort is NOT always slow, they are only slow when they have deteriorated enough to not be able to use their muscles. Most can even climb and run IF their muscles are in working order.
Now, even Max Brooks talks about SOME ability to retain memory and basic functions. But he also talks about how zombies dont ACTUALLY HAVE to eat humans, they are basically just responding to a primal need to attack and kill whats around them but they cant wrap their brains around using a weapon, so they use what they can use- teeth and nails. Animals AND humans are never safe.
And that is only if you wanna take the more conventional route. There are many other strains of zombie that DO use weapons and DO hold basic memory enough to manipulate, still have blood pumping enough to run and climb, BUT they are easier to kill.

There are tons of different strains of scientific zombie!
The Basic: Already explained those
The crazy zombies: More human, but a mixture of the basic zombie and a serious case of schizophrenia. They are easier to kill but cant be hurt like a human and is harder to make sense of.
The Resident Evil zombies
etc.
But to mix them all up into one zombie would make some thing that a survivor cant live through.

I'm fine with what i see but i don't like the Resident evil zombies... Sure i like the movie but noooo... L4D Now those are what i like... Tanks are like my chars worse enemy.... Now if i can find that old rp i was in...
We can play as a zombie or human we decide... There are ones like smokers, tanks, blob and other zeds in l4d and she added this smart zombie... Not that smart but has the ability to imitate human voices even though its a stutter kind... Anyway i don't really care just don't like the tyrants or mutants.
Asylum i see it as the zombies evolving... So lets put up with it come on humans in L4D did and they were only 7 survivors (Removing Bill since he scarified himself) so yeah
