[guide-to-world-domination]

I can’t stop imagining spider becoming an absolute badass, like the amount of ideas literally keep me up at night. For example, imagine that one day, Neytiri just goes off on Spider and says the most foul things to him - stuff that was so horrendous, even people who equally hated Spider being around had to try and calm her down, because what she was saying was completely out of line. To spider, he’s heard this all from the People, the Scientists, the McCoskers - but Neytiri always strikes a cord that can’t be fixed or shrugged off easily. The only thing that snaps him from his thoughts, was what Neytiri said next while she was being pulled away from the situation.

“You will never be One of the People. Your father is a Demon, and your mother is worse for ever loving him and producing such Spawn”

There it is the breaking point. Spider has always turned the other cheek when it comes to people that insult him or insult him by comparing him to his father. He always found that retaliation and tantrums only proved his accusers assumptions correct. But nobody. Nobody insults his mother. Spider could have screamed back and shouted bloody murder at her, but at this point, he just doesn’t care. She isn’t worth trying to prove himself to. His siblings know who he is, that’s enough.

From that day on, he doesn’t go to High Camp again and doesn’t wear his loincloth. He starts wearing cargo pants and tank tops, but he keeps his armbands, knife and jewellery. He wants to come into his own identity, but he can’t shed what remains of his past life (trying to be part of the Omaticaya). Personally, I don’t think that Norm and the other Scientists wouldn’t care too much about what spider does until he crosses a line or breaks a rule that they haven’t outright told him (that kind of behaviour is traumatising, I would know 🙂). So when figures out to give himself piercings and tattoos, they are livid. They are shocked at the transformation - where painted blue stripes used to be, there were inky black stripes that passed over every limb and even on his face; where dirty brown locs used to be, golden blond hair was fashioned into a Viking braid reaching down his back (similar to a kuru).

The only person that understands and doesn’t overreact is Max. Personally, that man was a dark horse in his family before he came to Pandora, I know it in my soul (Headcanon coming soon or after this post). He takes it on himself to support Spider and nurture his clear talents. He wishes he could have raised spider as his own, but knew that he would be shunned by his colleagues for raising his son - he couldn’t be seen as a disgrace after his time as a child.

Spider had a number of talents and skills, including Engineering, Chemistry, Languages, Marksmanship and martial arts. Max helped to nurture each and everyone. Some days, he would have Spider build and repair weapons and tech. Other days, Spider would learn chemical reactions or a new language. Every evening, Max would instruct Spider in combat and would exercise and lift with him to encourage him. Over the course of a month or two, Spider was unrecognisable. He took in information like a sponge and soon Max was running out of things to teach him. Piloting Samsons and Scorpions - took a few tries, but Spider was truly a born pilot like Paz. Stealth and parkour - He was already a natural, but he was fooling Na’vi warriors more often than not after a week of practice.

Eventually, when Jake started performing raids on RDA Trains, Spider knew it was time to put this all into practice. You see, deep down, he still wanted to prove himself to the People, but not so he could be one of them. He wanted to prove himself, to show them what he forged himself into despite them. However, he knew Jake would never approve him going along - he was still a child. The thought to Spider was ludicrous; Spider never believed he was a child, because no child goes through what he did and remains a child. So he decides to go anyway and doesn’t bother with permission. Though, he does ask Max, who understandably forbids this from happening. After reasoning that he would be safer if he got support to complete this venture, Max relented after hours of back and forth.

And thus, Araña was born. Imagine Winter Soldier getup (Hydra-controlled Bucky, not White Wolf armour) where the half mask acts as his rebreather so he doesn’t risk glass from a regular mask entering his eyes. All manners of weapons are strapped to his body including an Assault Rifle, a revolver (nobody knows that it was actually Quaritch’s revolver that delivered the fatal shot to Grace), A bow and quiver, a LOT of knives and a grenade or two. He looks terrifying but despite this Max feels proud - not about his boy going to fight in a war that has devastated everything he loves, but because this kid, his son, has stepped into his role as a defender and Max is proud of how far Spider has come to reach his goals.

Queue Spider being the biggest menace to RDA society that has ever existed. There was no reason for the Na’vi Ground forces to blow up the rail line, because Spider had already hijacked the train and pulled the breaks. The look of an anonymous Sky Person swing around the train killing and disarming grown men confused everyone in the raiding party, especially the Sully’s. There was something familiar about the acrobatics of this mysterious warrior, the answer on the tips of their tongues. It was only after Spider saved Lo’ak and Neteyam from the missile strike, that everyone realised who this person was. Nobody believed it until Spider spoke and then all he’ll broke loose.

I apologise if this too long or weird, I just needed to get this out of my head. I’ll definitely be adding to this given time, regardless of whether or not people like it, and the only thing that can stop me is my undiagnosed AuDHD.

Farewell to all, Yours sincerely,

Your Favourite Evil Overlord

Looking at the blind stars

Katheryn Winnick X Male Reader

Request: That's fine. The story is about a Male Reader who is undefeated mixed martial artist in UFC, and his love interest is Katheryn Winnick, you may not know the actress, but early on Katheryn had to have a lot of talent for the martial arts and at age 13 already had the black belt. So there some semblance between them. They met each other during the meet and greetings in Comic-Con because he was a fan of Vikings series, and her character.

Katheryn and her friends went to a live ufc match. She is excited about it because it's her first time and she is sitting close to the ring with her friends. You entered the ring, some people are cheering and others are booing you. But you are focusing on the match then Brandon Moreno entered the ring. You and Brandon are glaring at each other then you two walked toward the referee and then tapped each other gloves. You two heard the bell ring, now you two start to fight.

“I have seen his fights online. I think he will win” Katheryn said.

“Which guy?” her friend Jessica asked.

“Y/n is the guy with black shorts,” Katheryn said.

“Oh him. I heard he is a fan of your show. Do you think he is cute?” Jessica said.

“Yeah, I think he is cute,” Katheryn said.

They continued to watch the fight. Brandon tried to kick you in the chest but you quickly blocked his kick. Then you punched him in the face then he tried to grab your fist then he kicked, and you fell. He tried to put his arm around your neck but you don't let him. You get out of his grip then you quickly stand up, he punches you in the face twice. Then you turned around and kicked him in the face, he lost his balance and fell. Then you rushed towards him and started to punch him in the face.

The referee stopped the fight, and you won by knockout. Katheryn and the crowd start to cheer for you. She takes out her phone and starts to take pictures of your win.

—

The next day… You are relaxing then you check Twitter. Everyone is talking about the fight then you notice Katheryn posted about the fight. You start to smile because you have a crush on her. You go on her Instagram profile and you start to like her new pictures.

Katheryn is on her phone and she noticed that you like her pictures. She typed in your screen name, then she started to follow you on Instagram.

✫ ✯ ✬ ✫

You found out that Katheryn will be at Comic-Con in California. You bought the tickets and you can't wait to meet her. You start to think what you will say to her and you can't stop smiling.

“Why are you going to Comic Con?” Your Friend Tony asked.

“Because she will be at Comic-Con and I really want to meet her,” You said.

“But you have to do that interview podcast with Joe Rogan,” Tony said.

“Change the date. I'm not going to miss my chance to meet her” You said

“Why not just ask for her phone number sliding through her DMS?” Tony said.

“She is different. I'm going to pack and just tell him when I get back I will do the interview” You smiled.

“Whatever, you say, bro,” Tony said.

You continued to pack your clothes and talked a little more with Tony.

—-

On the day of Comic Con, Katheryn had a lot to do. She had to do a Q&A to promote her new show and talk about her character.

Now, she has to take pictures with her fans. She is having a good time and she doesn't mind having a small conversation with her fans.

“Hi, Katheryn” You smiled.

“Oh, hi Y/n. What are you doing here?” Katheryn said.

“I actually bought a ticket to take a picture with you. And ask you out on a date?” You said.

“Of course!” Katheryn smiled.

“For what?” You asked.

“For both, silly” Katheryn smiled.

“Awesome. I loved you on the show Viking and you were badass” You smiled.

“Thank you for being a fan, Y/n” Katheryn smiled.

She did take a picture with you, and you two couldn't stop smiling at each other. She did give you her phone number and you texted your friend about it.

——

You and Katheryn are still in California. The date will be at the beach and you hope she will like it. You and Katheryn arrived at the beach

“I hope, this is fine I thought we could have fun at the beach and talk,” You said.

“I never had a date on the beach, I think it's cute. Now, I get why you said to bring a bikini” Katheryn smiled.

You and Katheryn found a good spot on the beach. Then helped each other put on sunscreen then you set up the towels. You and Katheryn go into the water holding hands and the water is cold.

“Wow! The water is so cold” Katheryn said.

“This is nothing. I do ice baths when I train hard” You said.

“Showing off, Y/n?” Katheryn laughed.

“Yes,” You smiled.

You and Katheryn played in the water for a little while. Then got out of the water, sat on the towels, and started to eat fruits.

“How did you get into fighting?” Katheryn asked.

“I couldn't afford lessons, so I did underground fights. A mobster saw me and then paid for my lessons to be a pro. I don't talk about it during interviews because rumors will start then it will be complicated for anyone to take me seriously. What about you?” You said.

“I started when I was seven years old until I got older. I know Taekwondo and I have a third-degree black belt and in karate, I have a second-degree black belt. And I can speak five languages. The fighting skills come in handy when I have to do fight scenes” Katheryn said.

“Very impressive. I can speak three languages” You said.

Next, you and Katheryn talked about TV shows and music. You and Katheryn are starting to find out, that you two have some stuff in common. Later, you and Katheryn went back into the water for a little while.

After spending time in the water, you and Katheryn sit next to each other. Then you leaned in and kissed her then she started to kiss you back.

✫ ✯ ✬ ✫

You and Katheryn made it official. You and Katheryn were in Spain on vacation, the paparazzi took pictures of you two together. The relationship was a secret but you and Katheryn won't let the media or rumors ruin the relationship.

You finished a fight and you got a cut under your eye. She cleans your skin and gently puts a new band-aid under your eye.

“I got worried there at the end. I thought you were going to blackout” Katheryn said.

“Me too. But I won now I can get a new belt” You smiled.

You are sitting down on the bed and she puts her arms around you. Your hands are on her waist then she starts to kiss you.

“I’m going back home soon. Maybe… maybe come with me and meet my family in Canada?” Katheryn said.

“That’s a big step, Kat,” You said.

“I know. But think about it and let me know?” Katheryn said.

“Sure” You smiled.

She starts to kiss you again. Then you lie down and she is lying on top of you and your hands are under her shirt. You and Katheryn are smiling at each other.

“Let's stay in and cook dinner together. I don't want to go out” Katheryn said.

“Sure, we can do that” You smiled.

“Good” Katheryn smiled.

You and Katheryn go into the kitchen. She is showing you how to make chicken Alfredo pasta. She took a picture of you frying the chicken then she posted the picture on her Instagram profile then she wrote a caption…

katheryn- Best date night. Cute chef cooking for me

During dinner, she showed you the picture and you are smiling at her. Later, you and Katheryn start to play a board game together.

What weapons other than devil fruit powers and swords could ocs in the one piece world have?

Hey! Thanks for the ask and sorry for my long absence! I had a friend over, things happened, university started, then more things happened and are currently happening, so... I might not be as active for a while.

Anyways, back to this question. The answer is fairly simple: Literally any you can think of. Anything that could even somewhat be considered a weapon can be used by a One Piece character. But let me give you some options to think about:

I'm gonna touch on swords anyways because I feel like people don't fully realize what range of swords there is. Look at this post. It's a meme post, but you get the gist. The most common sword in One Piece is the katana but did you know that there are different lengths of katana? You could also give your OC a Zweihänder, a viking sword, a Roman gladius, a rapier, a cutlass, a cane sword... get creative!

Second very common weapon: Guns. Once again: Get creative! Marine soldiers use rifles, but you could also opt for a revolver, a flintlock, hell, a bazooka, a machinegun...

Different long-range weapons: Consider slingshots, bows, crossbows and the like.

Smaller, stealthier weapons. There are very tiny guns out there. Daggers, shurikens, kunais, needles, war fans, brass knuckles...

Polearms! Spears, lances, bo staffs, halberds...

There's a lot more out there. Whips, axes, hammers, clubs...

Create your own weapons! Literally, get creative. Maybe research some old weapons that are obsolete today - you'll find some really interesting stuff!

And if none of the weapons you find strike your fancy, your OC might just use hand-to-hand combat or martial arts. Or maybe they ride a ferocious animal? There are some big, dangerous animals in the One Piece world, you'll find or come up with something.

Literally, there are pretty much no limits to your creativity when it comes to what weapons to give your OC. My advice would be to think about what kind of weapon would suit or OC's abilities or requirements. A stealthy thief would not carry a Zweihänder because it's big and hard to conceal. Someone who doesn't have a lot of physical strength would not do well with a weapon reliant on brute force.

I hope this helped at all. Have a lovely day!

NEW - image of Bill Skarsgård in 'Boy Kills World' first look | CREDIT: GRAHAM BARTHOLOMEW

from Entertainment Weekly, May 17, 2022

Look out, kids: Pennywise just got ripped.

Bill Skarsgård is the latest of the Skarsgård clan to dramatically beef up for a role, following in the footsteps of older brother Alexander, who gained 20 to 30 pounds to play a Viking berserker in The Northman. (See before and after comparisons of the brothers' journey from sinewy to beefy at the bottom of the post.)

In the forthcoming film Boy Kills World, described as a "dystopian fever dream action thriller," Skarsgård plays Boy, a deaf mute with a vibrant imagination. When his family is murdered, he's trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish fantasies and become an instrument of death.

"This was an incredible journey into something completely new for me," the actor tells EW exclusively. "I had two months to learn how to pretend how to fight well. [Action coordinator] Dawe Szatarski is a wizard, and he might've just pulled it off. The abs I credit to another wizard, my main man Valdemar Fredriksson. I just showed up, slightly late."

In the exclusive first look above, a buff, shirtless Skarsgård is featured with his fists up, ready to fight. The normally svelt actor underwent a two-month martial arts crash course with Szatarski, a renowned action and fight designer who trained under Jackie Chan's longtime stunt guru, Brad Allan. Together, they developed "a unique movement style" for the 6 foot 4 actor, whose size and length "help make him an unconventional new-age action star," a rep for the film tells EW, adding, "You've never seen an actor move like this in a movie."

Changewing + Rider Headcanons:

Thinking about my old Changewing OC Acid has also got me revamping her personality (in my head) in accordance to what we know about them. Here are a few headcanons.

As per the Book of Dragons special, Changewings enjoy mimicking their surroundings, and as such enjoy playing the “copycat” game. You walk one way, they’re right behind you miming your gait. You’re starting a fire? Well, they want to rub sticks together too! You’re doing exercises like yoga or martial arts? Better bet that this four-legged silly is copying most of your moves. The list goes on.

Accompanying the first point, Changewings also enjoy mimicking other dragons, so a fun game they enjoy is if you start calling out species’ names and then they attempt to recreate that species’ roar or movements.

Because Changewings are like ‘actors’ (the theatre kids of all dragons), this makes them drama queens (or even a bit bipolar, in only a few cases), and can be susceptible to pulling a Hookfang on their riders. The prehensile sensors (the viney things) and tail really come in handy for that.

As we see in We Are Family (ROB) with Snotlout, a Changewing can hold a Viking with their forelimbs. So sort of contradictory to the previous statement, in their more ‘loving’ moments, a Changewing will snatch up their rider and just cradle them. It’s their version of a hug, whether it’s sincere or mocking.

Changewings love to climb and even perch in trees (even when not nesting). They sleep on branches, similar to Night Furies, just not upside down. Their prehensile tails and sharp claws keep them locked on.

Because Changewing are one of the few non-Tidal Class dragons to not produce some form of fire, some often like to pretend that they can.

As a Mystery Class dragon themselves, Changewings enjoy playing in Zippleback gas and other compromising veils, with or without their own camouflage. As such they like playing with their riders in said gas (or fog or mist. They’re not always so picky).

Changewings have naturally wide underbellies. As such they enjoy most pets there.

Despite not being acid-proof themselves (or fire proof for that matter), Changewings will sometimes spit acid at their rider in an act of playfulness or mischief, and if you don’t know about this, it can at first be taken the wrong way.

Changewings love to play hide and seek. Whether it’s with their rider hiding (far worse than them, of course) and them coming to find them, or their rider trying to find them when they’re camouflaged, they just love it!

[🔪:] Alan stared at Ed, his face pale. He staggered backwards, jot sure if he should call the police or try and hear the younger programmer out. His hands trembled, and he could hear his heart thrumming in his head.

He should've screamed. He should've called for help. Instead he stared into Ed's eyes, desperate for an answer.

"Why?"

[From the "send 🔪 to encounter my muse after they've just killed someone" meme. Doesn't need to be a thread if you dont want it to be, I just thought the angst would be spicey]

Ed stared at the corpse. He felt... nothing. Not... vindication, not anger, not grief or... anything.

His eyes flicked first toward the child backing away down the alley into the dark street, curly blonde hair sticking out from under a plastic viking helmet. Ed dropped the shard of glass that had been digging into his hand. He didn't even remember picking it up, but there were several other bottles littering the street, so he must have grabbed one.

Was that his blood or...

The glass shattered loudly in the too silent street.

"Beo, I..." Ed started weakly. He'd promised both of them he would never expose Beo to violence. Not after everything e'd already endured.

The child turned and ran, disappearing into the dark.

Ed didn't dare chase after Beowulf. E wasn't safe with him anymore. He had no right to take care of Petra's child after what he'd done.

Ed sank to the ground, his body aching from the abuse he'd endured in the fight. He wasn't a fighter, he had no experience or training in martial arts or street fighting, but when he'd seem that man, drunk and pinning Beo to the wall with a predatory look in his eyes, when he heard the things he said he'd do... Ed snapped.

Ed could feel the gash in his side, his shirt sticky-hot and plastered to his side. That would need stitches, if not surgery.

The state was going to take custody of Beo since Ed was clearly violent and unfit to take care of a child. Or at the very least while the investigation was going on.

He turned to Alan, finally registering that he was there. He knew he could trust Alan to take care of Beowulf, even if he hated the idea of burdening Alan with a kid he probably didn't want. He turned to him with a desperate look on his face. "Please... Look after Beowulf for me. E has no other place to go right now..."

#tw death #tw child abuse implied #tw csa implied #the last one didn't actually get to that point but it's implied that was the intent #OUCH SORRY #...I was about to send you this one ;D #Guess you beat me too it

A Thing Of Vikings Chapter 22: A Ruff But Magnus Wedding

Chapter 22: A Ruff But Magnus Wedding

According to nearly all primary sources, the marriage between Ruffnut Thicknutsdoittor clan Thorston and King Magnus Olafsson of House Fairhair was a love-match, despite the political considerations that instigated both their betrothal and their atypically quick marriage.  Both were staunch patrons of the arts, which apparently was the basis of their initial bond.  For the duration of their marriage, there is no record of either of them straying into affairs, or of Magnus taking official concubines.  This was an uncommon occurrence in medieval Scandinavia to say the least, where approximately a quarter of all monarchs between 700 and 1100 were of illegitimate issue by acknowledged concubines, including Magnus, and Magnus had himself sired an illegitimate daughter several years before his wedding.  However, the number of children and love poems that the pair produced speaks volumes for their mutual devotion on its own…

In addition to their personal compatibility, Ruffnut and Magnus were known to have fought alongside each other on multiple occasions.  One point that is dryly noted by both their biography-sagas and other primary sources is that the number of enemies slain by her hands was significantly higher than his, due to a combination of her own martial prowess and enemies underestimating her on the basis of her build or gender or both.  The most significant portion of these kills apparently came from the Siege of Roskilde, where Ruffnut guarded the stairway that led to their children's nursery, and the skalds and other eyewitness accounts reported that the bodies formed a battlement…

—House Fairhair And The Grand Thing, Oslo, Norway, 1667

[floydsmuse]

Meggy dahling, I literally cannot stop thinking about the little crossover thoughts I sent the other night (lol). I had another on the ride home while once again, the appetizer has turned into a meal (lol).

So if we're thinking that the Abbotts run this place and it's also similar to Camp Half Blood and Hogwarts, do you wanna see what the school might look like?? (lol).

Demeter and Dionysus kids and those with earth powers get to stay in a little hilly grove area with little cabins that look like Hobbit holes. Inside, they're so cozy and perfect for the littles with super cozy beds and a well stocked kitchen. The Hobbit holes are perfect because the littles can go and play in the grass on the roof and climb the trees. Since Demeter is a frequent visitor of Cecelia's and comes to help with the herbology and gardening classes, she loves hanging out with the littles. There's always the smell of fresh grass and grapes hanging around too which pleases none other than Mr. Grapes himself (lol).

The grade school kiddos have their own buildings with their own classrooms and they always smell like sage, clean cotton and fresh cut wood. Each room is a different color and can transform accordingly to fit their lessons. The chalkboard drawings come to life whenever the teachers (and the deities) tell the stories that go with them.

The high school is something else and here's where it really starts looking more like Camp Half Blood than anything else. The cabins that hold the children of Ares and Artemis look more like Viking longhouses than anything else, I'm talkin spears, swords and shields on the walls, big rough hewn wooden bunks, animal bones on the walls including a huge bison skull at one end and a stag's skull above the fireplace. There's also bows, arrows and other weapons always ready near the door, but funnily enough in the cozy corner, there's a little basket for the cabin's mascot, a little black Xolo dog named Dante (yes it's probably Dante from Disney's "Coco", lol). As it turns out Dante is Ares's chief messenger since dogs are his sacred critter.

There's plenty of arenas way out of the way for high schoolers to practice wrestling, combat and other martial arts and it's not just the Greeks that join in. Sure, Ares comes once in a while to teach the high schoolers the art of combat, but Guan Yu, Shango Orisha, Montu and Sekhmet also came from China, Nigeria and both from Egypt respectively, to help their friend out (lol). Although it's safe to say that Rhett nearly shit himself when Shango caused an unexpected thunderstorm (lol).

The kiddos who were claimed by the air, thunder, lightning and sky gods and goddesses, have their own little cabin/hidey hole and it's sooooo much fun!!! The beds float way, high up off the ground but thankfully they all have special bed-rails just in case somebody rolls over. They love to play a little game kind of like "Floor Is Lava" except they're literally flying and jumping from bed to bed.

The kiddos of the craftsmen deities all have their own special little hole that they can have free reign of. There's plenty of tables and spaces for woodworking, forging, blacksmithing and also for jewelry making. Some of what they've created are absolutely gorgeous! Two of the high schoolers in the forge had managed to make a necklace for Rhett and wifey's anniversary and it looked like blueberry branches. Hephaestus, Brigid, Ptah, Ogun and Thor, all teach the smithing, woodworking and craftsmenship and their kiddos excel immensely at it.

Oooh but the water kiddos have the best spot in the summer since it's right on the lake. Fall and winter can get a little chilly BUT in the summer it's absolute heaven since summers in Montana are so fuckin hot. A huge dock extends out onto the lake and the kids can just run out to the middle and jump off. They love playing with the creatures that live in the lake and hippocampi rodeo is one of their favorite games (lol). Percy and Annabeth have their kiddos in this cabin and Rhett and wifey literally cannot take their eyes off them for two seconds lest they suffer the consequences (lol).

Kiddos of the fire gods and goddesses have their favorite little hidey holes and they're always warm. Thank God for them because Montana gets wretched wildfires every year and these poor guys have to go out every now and again to run a burn line near the woods (lol). In the winter if the heat goes out in a cabin or house, these guys will gladly take in whoever and it becomes like a giant sleepover.

Meggy I'm gonna have to cut it right there cuz there's just too much to add to this (lol).

[realistically-shifting]

Project: O.R.I.O.N

Named after the constellation of the Hunter, Orion started out as a super-soldier project that a couple of weapons manufacturers, a pharmaceutical company, and the American government got involved with (to name a few). It was supposed to bring about the next evolution in humanity, in the select few that could afford the final product OR in those that joined the program under a contract with the military. Unfortunately, during one of the rounds of testing, something went wrong with most of the test subjects and it escaped containment.

“Virus” isn’t a fully accurate way to describe what it is, as it’s a mix of that, a bioengineered pathogen, and genetic mutations, but that’s the term I’m using based on how it spreads. The “virus” acts like a typical zombie virus: It’s mainly transmitted through bodily fluids. Bites, scratches, contaminated food/water/etc. After infection, it initially took a few days for symptoms to show. Fever, veins visibly darkening, eyes clouding, increased aggression, etc. Like in Sweet Home, there are mental effects too, as infected victims eventually start experiencing delusions involving them happily living out a wish or positive memory.

After complete infection, it isn’t accurate to say that the infected are “alive”, but the virus continues to reanimate them. If left alone long enough, some of the infected evolve further and create zombies that are harder to kill.

Tanker zombies are bigger and tougher, their durability has increased but they’re slower than normal zombies up until they charge at something/someone.

Reaper zombies have skin that’s hardened around their arms, their nails and bones around that part have also hardened, creating something like claws.

Sprinters are just regular zombies slightly evolved

Banshee zombies are similar to Sprinters, but act more “cowardly” and are worse to deal with because they shriek and draw the attention of other infected.

On the flip side, immunity to this infection and evolution also exist.

Hana. 4.5 years old.

Hana, like several other kids, was born into the O.R.I.O.N program for the purpose of further testing (and a side project: seeing the longstanding effects of the program on a generation raised to be tools of the state). She’s undergone testing and genetic editing since before she was even conceived, and she was the only successful project.

The facility she was being raised in was overrun, failing after the apocalypse began, and I ended up finding her at around 3 years old with a bite mark and fever. I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her, so I made her comfortable and tried to wait. I eventually noticed that she was getting better, not worse.

The bite mark healed into a scar relatively quickly and I started to take care of her, keeping what happened a secret.

I ended up gaining the immunity and evolution when Hana wound up biting me, breaking the skin in a panic. Like the other “virus”, she can spread immunity via bodily fluids. Unlike with the other, hers causes the veins in the area of infection to become lighter, but it doesn’t spread past the initial infection spot. Increased stamina, endurance, speed, healing, etc. all come after a fever, which breaks faster too. Each person has the typical evolved traits after gaining immunity, and each person also has a special trait. For Hana, her special trait is her superhuman healing factor.

Remus. 33-35 years old.

Remus comes from a long line of pagan Norsemen (accurately) rumored to be Vikings and pirates. Strength, martial arts, and academic intelligence are three things that his family holds in high regard. As such, Remus and his younger siblings, as well as his extended family members, are all college educated and trained combatants. Before the apocalypse, Remus was the head of his family due to the recent passing of his father. His family owned and lived on a couple of islands, they’d been on them for generations and exported a very rare mineral that only develops on their islands, which is how they’d been making money.

Like I said before, this is based on an old story, so there’s TONS of things I haven’t mentioned that I know. Like Remus’ brothers and his friends, how I know him, how Hana and I got on the island in the first place, etc.

Remus also shows up in most of my other scripts as my S/O, usually in the same way, tweaked for the reality I’m planning for.
