The Beginning 1 - 1
There once was a zombie. A man whose skin hung off his flesh as if trying to fall off. A man whose heart hasn't taken a single beat for a very long time. A man, who like others surrounding him, stumbled around aimlessly. Without purpose. Without thought. Well, there was a single one.
Hunger

Until there wasn't.
PREY!!!
The man wasn't lucky. He wasn't some special snowflake that had the gods on his side. Fate smiled upon him no more than any of the others beside him. Yet as he chased after a woman alone and terrified throughout a store, most likely already stripped bare, maybe all of his bad fortune culminated for this one day.
The lady trips. She screams in fear and plight as the man's comrades begin their feast. He gets there last, slower than the others, but before he can join the fool takes out a gun and starts to shoot wildly. It hit some, but never in the place needed. The screams reach an apex before she turns the gun onto herself, and one final shot rings out, scattering her brains across the floor.
With everyone else busy munching on everything else, he goes for the new food with no competition, the splattered membrane. And for the first time since he turned, for the first time since his heart had stopped beating, there was another thought besides 'hunger' or 'prey'.

Honestly, going for anything else wasn't even a thought in the man's mind. Not that he had many to begin with. The point is, while his comrades made food out of the woman's torso, feet, and everything in that general area, the man had one focus, and it was to eat more of the delicious brains he'd gotten his hands on. Unbeknownst to the zombie, with each bite, something within him changed.

'Always finish your brain! There are starving kids in Africa, you know?'
Suddenly there was a voice. It said something but the man couldn't really understand, but somehow he got the intent, that no matter what he had to finish his food! Before he knew it, it was gone. The man scraped out as much as he could, and when he couldn't scrape he smashed in the skull with his bare hands until he got the rest. He found himself sucking on a piece of the skull for even the slightest flavour of his recent meal as he turned around to look at the others. It was then that a new problem arised. The others almost finished the body. Sure, some pieces of skin left but not much. And with the blessing of his newfound intelligence, there was also a curse.
Hunger.
Hunger.
Hunger.
PAIN.
Hunger.
PAIN.
Need more prey.
Need more Prey.
Hunger.
Pain.
Before, the all consuming Hunger was natural. There was never a moment where he didn't feel it, yet with his stunted intelligence, there was a safety net from it all. Yes, it was still there, but he couldn't truly comprehend just how bad it was until now. Being so. Incredibly. Stupid. Had a positive effect of muting everything. And he is still stupid, just not as much as before, which in turn meant-
Pain!
Yes. That. He needed more food. Something. Anything. To get the Pain to stop. And with his first feast done, he was back to where he started, stumbling around with his pack that finished up a bit earlier. All to find more poor defenseless people to eat alive.
And find them he does. In fact, he doesn't just find one or even 2, but 3 people. Two women and one man, who again, looked to be scavenging for supplies but making almost no attempt of being sneaky.
Do They Notice You - 59 - They Do
For a moment, just a single one, all is quiet. Both groups simply stare at each other, as if the humans couldn't believe they had been found and the zombies couldn't believe that they found them. But that single moment didn't last long, not before the chase.
"Shit! Shit!! Run!" the man yelled as the ladies started screaming.
Man Run Roll: 26
Girl1 Run Roll: 88
Girl2 Run Roll: 46
5d100 Zombies Run Roll: 26-10(Deficit Speed Stat) = 16 / 4-10(Deficit Speed Stat) = -6 / 85 - 10(Deficit Speed Stat) = 75 / 35 - 10(Deficit Speed Stat) = 25 / 4 - 10(Deficit Speed Stat) = -6
Your Run Roll: 26 - 10(Deficit Speed Stat) = 16
Almost immediately two of the horde trip and fall over each other as the chase begins. The other two, instead of running, seem to decide to slowly stumble their way after the couple. Honestly, all seemed to be lost until one of the horde does something unthinkable, he actually runs after the people without falling!
The man, no, you wanted to be right behind him but between the 2 idiots on the ground and the other 2 walking, the aisle you're in is too narrow to allow you to slip by them. Eventually you do catch up a bit, to see the human guy on the ground struggling with the one competent zombie. And while one of the girls is long gone by now, the other is still within possible distance to catch up.
You could catch the slower girl and have 2 bodies to munch on, but the man may be strong enough to fight off the zombies who caught up without you, since 2 of the horde are still trying to get up. Or you could help finish off the man and at least confirm one kill.

Brains And How They Work
Brains And How They Work
Each brain consumed is a Personality that gets transferred into the zombie.
Said Personality is then taken up by one of the Readers here, and can then influence the Zombie
Developing Personalities through Canon Omakes provides benefits through the Zombie, such as Traits or Skills
NOTE: NOT ALL OMAKES YOU MAKE WILL BE CANON EVEN IF YOU ARE ASSIGNED AS THAT PERSONALITY
As the zombie gets more intelligent, he'll be able to recognize each of the voices, and depending on said relationship and if that Personality is dependable or not, may take Non-Vote actions that said Personality would find agreeable
More Be Added As We Go
Personality: Alex - 1 (Canon)
Made By OBrienNameless
"Mommy, Mommy, I'm hungry." Her little boy cried out as he clasped his churning stomach. Alexa held her little wonder's hands as he weeped at the pain, at the hunger striking him. Her stomach was aching badly, as she hadn't eaten anything in two days.
All because of the fear, the fear of the dead.
The walking undeath.
It had paralysed her, too, seeing her whole apartment transform into a death ground. People, rabid people, ate each other. They devoured the living and those who had been wounded by them? Turned into one of them.
That day Jacob, her husband, never came back home. She knew that he was gone, he worked in an office complex downtown. That place must be swarming with hordes and hordes of undead walkers.
She had to close up all the windows for her little boy to not see the gore. She had to lie to her little boy about the disappearance of his father. She had to ration the little food she had in the fridge, all for another day of survival.
It was miserable, it was degrading, it was terrifying.
Fear will not lead to the death of her son, she will not let it. She needs food, for her little boy and herself. Even if it makes her legs tremble, she has to.
In her hands was a pistol, a trophy her grandpa gave her. He had died long ago, properly.
She knew of a store down the street which had a good amount of canned food. So she wore her sports attire and holstered the pistol in a comfortable place.
"Mom, are you going to get food?" Her little boy asked.
"Yes, momma is going to go outside. Now I want you to stay here, don't look outside, don't go outside. Do you understand me, Hadrian? Do not look outside or go outside." She pleaded.
"Ok. Can you bring me gummy bears please?" Her little angel brought her a smile, she naturally nodded to his innocent request. "And is daddy coming back with you?"
"No Hadrian. Your daddy is still at work, so we have to wait for a little bit more time." She brushed the tears from his eyes. He missed his daddy, sadly his daddy may never come home ever again. She wiped a tear from her eyes and stood up.
"Bye bye, Hadrian." She said.
"Bye mommy!" Her little boy replied.
She slowly closed the door, trying to make the least amount of sound. The hallway was blissfully clear, allowing her to tip toe towards the emergency stairs. She looked through the window of the door, glad to see that it was empty of undead. Entering the stairway, she looked down and spotted no undead.
Luck was on her side at least.
Exiting the complex, she stuck by the shadows of the apartment block, carefully maneuvering around groups of undead. Most of them were dull, she only had to evade their line of sight to get past.
Eventually, she made it into the supermarket alive. An impressive achievement, her nerves relaxed as she perused the isles, looking for the canned food section. She turned around a corner.
Her heart froze.
Zombies, a fuck ton of them, all swirving their heads at her. This close, she says their manic eyes, the feral hunger overpowering the clause of death to drive their bodies into an eternal search for food.
Inhumans, and runners. It took a brief instant for her legs to start pumping away, and the zombies chased after her the moment they recognised fresh living meat.
Untrained she was, but her legs carried her like her life depended on it. But alas, Luck betrayed her at a critical time, as a box caught her running shoes.
A box filled with gummy bears.
In an instant they were on her. Their nails and hands, their teeths and tongues, their hunger and pain, all joined to rip her apart. Her gun was in her hands, and she shot. To no effect.
Sorry Hadrian, Momma ain't coming home. She weeped in pain, in sadness.
She raised her gun, and pointed it at her face.
Hadrian, Jason, see you in hea-.
The Beginning 1 - 3
You didn't really understand much, but the thought of chasing after that girl seemed like a good idea. After all, even you understood that 2 is better than 1. But looking at the man struggling for his life on the ground got your mouth watering. Figuratively of course, though there may have been drool, that's mostly because you have trouble controlling your bodily functions sometimes.
Decision made, you make your way to help your fellow zombie. However-
Zombie v Human: 93 - 10(Deficit Strength Stat) v 11 - 5(Disadvantages Position)
ZOMBIE WINS
Brutal. The result was brutal. Your companion didn't let the advantage of being on top slip by. At first he just tried to take a bite out of the prey. He did catch the human after all, I guess that meant he thought he rightfully earned a bite, because when the man resisted by punching the zombie, there was a pause. The horde member just sat there, eyes blank in almost confusion, before a screech of what seemed to be rage resounded from him.
Blow after blow rained on the poor man, and while he tried to defend himself, that just seemed to make the Zombie angrier. As the snack begins trying to cover his face from the blows, a different tactic is used, and blood spurts from the bite sized chunk taken from his neck. Another screech is heard, but this time it resembles much more like a plea of mercy than a roar of rage.
The noise only makes his situation worse however. The blows pound against his skull once more, as if the Zombie demanded silence. The more the guy screamed, the harder the blows, until eventually there was silence. Well, not complete silence. All that was left were the sounds of flesh banging against the skull. Even after the life left his eyes, your companion continued.
Eventually, the barrage did end. And almost like the tantrum never happened, the Zombie began to eat. The slow and clumsy have caught up and joined the warrior, and you do as well. Unlike the others however, you don't head for the juicy body full of flesh, but again the sweet portions of the brain that peaks through after the assault.

'Ah That's my boy eating all his food! Don't pass up a fresh brain, they're hard to get!'
'Yes, 'brain is good! Never want to not eat! Want girls brains too. Too fast. Me too slow. Fine. Fine. For now. Will find more prey. Brain Yummy!' I say to the nice lady. I rub my tummy and frown. After eating yummy prey, pain not badder than Before-Prey pain, but still bad. Need more prey. Still hungry. Yes. Still hungry.
