Pestilence
A Zombie Roleplay

---

Some Background (Ill probably edit this later, because its kind of stuffty.)
In the year 2032, society is booming. Earth has reached a population over 10 Billion, and the scientific community is booming. Its not until July of 2033 that things begin to go haywire. It started in Germany,  No one really knew where it came from, or what caused it, but people began falling deathly ill. After a week, most of Germany overtaken with this flu-like sickness, and after a month, most of Germany was dead. Countries began to panic. Borders were soon closed, and any kind of travel was brought to a complete stop.

But by then, it was too late. Over half the population on earth was dead, and the death rate still rose. Then, the dead began to rise.

The year is now 2035. Some estimate the global population is a little more than 10,000. Those who survived did so by sticking together, and surviving off of the land. The dead still roam the earth freely, and mother nature has reclaimed most of what she owned...

Location
This RP takes place in the ruins of Los Angeles. Most of the city has been demolished in the years following the apocalypse, but few still hold on to the city, hoping that one day they might be rid of the the dead, and could rebuild what was left.

The city is mostly fictional in this RP, and is made up of 3 main parts;

1. The Mall. While not a single area, "The Mall" encompasses most of the stores that were in pre-apocalypse LA.
2. The Residential District. What it sounds like, this area is built up of many houses and hotels.
3. The Beach. This is region full of tourist attractions and restaurants... Well, it was before the apocalypse.
(Locations can be added later on in the RP, if needed.)

What general type of zombie are these?  Headshots?  Running?  How serious is the threat? 

Thanks.

Thanks. 
I said in OP that they dont run. Headshots are the most effective way of taking them down. And, well, they're Zombies, so I guess the threat is srs bznz.

Work on that backstory. Its pretty awful.

Is a backstory 100% needed.

It just tells more about your roleplay character.

But is it necessary.

Why wouldn't you have one? You need to have a well-developed character with a balanced personality and elaborate story if you want to roleplay well.

I prefer the story being told in the actual roleplay, through hints and other things.
