Claws with which they'd lash out and almost jealously tear chunks of juicy flesh and muscle from their living, screaming, brethren, only for their victims to rise up and shamble off to repeat the gruesome process. It was a vicious and bloody practice, one which left nearly most of the population infected before even a day had been allowed to pass.<br><br>The infection took Liberty City almost completely by surprise, with the TVs and radios going from a sudden buzz of deafening activity as they issued warnings and displays of panic to falling deathly silent. A scene which was mimicked in life as the cities screams and gunshots were abruptly twisted into a haunting silence and chorus of gurgling groans. The airwaves now are filled with little more than a single military signal, repeating the same message over and over again, "Citizens are advised to make their way to Central Park where the national defence force has set up camp. We offer shelter and have plenty of food, water and medicine." For a small ragtag band of survivors, which had by then successfully barricaded themselves within Liberty mall, the signal offered a glimmer of hope but their plans to venture forth were soon dashed upon the arrival of a certain Doctor. <br><br>To the dismay of the survivors the doctor explained that he had actually come from the military camp which had been overrun soon after his arrival. Apparently too many had been allowed entry for emergency treatment and, while their intentions were noble, a sudden swarm of infected from the medical tents quickly overcame the camp's defenders. The place is now little more than a death trap, one with more generators, weapons, fuel and supplies than anywhere else in the port city.<br><br>It's been thirty days now since the survivors learned of Central Park's fall. And while many grew despondent at least some were able to square their shoulders and prepare for the trials ahead. With the help of a brave newcomer, one who drew some resentment at first due to the perceived "liability" he brought with him, much of the group managed to rally and clear out the remaining stores. An act which has a few of the survivors looking to the newcomer as a leader of sorts now. Meanwhile, a local model surprised many with her knowledge in engineering, knowledge which helped bring the mall generator back up and running.<br><br>The nearby two-story garage still remains a threat however, with the packed cars, walls and pillars, leaving endless places for where infected might suddenly pop out. And the mall's basement is hardly any better thanks to a similar layout, only with crates and other useless clutter scattered about rather than vehicles. The basement is also where the main generator lies, a place which required the help of the only shotgun-wielding nut insane enough to enter, to safeguard the only person who was able to bring it back online.<br><br>Since then the survivors have managed to eke out a meagre existence with a few "amenities" to help them along, such as the gym which offers both showers and baths and the theatre where they can enjoy a movie or two. They even have their own celebrity to fawn and gossip over which a few have gone so far as to approach for an autograph. Still as more people trickle in tensions continue to mount and many are beginning to grow aware of the deteriorating conditions. Not only are the supplies running low but the water has taken on an odd metallic taste and slight, brownish, tint. The lights have also begun to intermittently flicker and those with a knowledge of such understand the generators might be running low on fuel.<br><br>Chapter One:<br>N/A

His tendency to use a shotgun (Hence his new moniker) normally gets him plugged into the front lines of any situation involving the zombies, and at this point, the only reason he has survived is his sporadic use of his firearm. Considered insane and not willing to deny it, he is one of the strangest survivors.<br><strong>Strengths:</strong><br>While he talks allot, he doesn't talk allot... He will willingly debate or chat, but will never mention his past life to any of the most basic survivors, and considered those he has grown close to to be worthy of his story. He also has an odd knowledge of how weapons work, and can easily determine which weapon would work best for a given situation. No one really knows why though, which can sometimes get him questioned.<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> <br>As a fan of close-quarters firearms, when it comes to combat over more than 20 feet leaves him at a heavy disadvantage. He is also slightly stupid, which can leave him cornered or trapped more than once.<br><strong>Extras:</strong><br>N/A<br><strong>Current Appearance:</strong> <br>N/A<br><strong>Health:</strong> Seemingly Healthy<br><strong>History: </strong><br>N/A</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Models/1278430142997.jpg)</div>(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Models/1278430648750.jpg)<br><strong>Name: </strong><br>Heather Gray<br><strong>Played By:</strong><br><strong>Rachubka</strong> (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=9226)<br><strong>Reputation:</strong><br>Heather is seen as one of the younger members of the group, though not young enough to be deemed weak and useless.

Her hair tied back into a neat ponytail. Despite being in a mall, it's still a very strange concept to pick clothes off of the mannequins.

It stands at around three levels tall with a flat rooftop, a basement which connects to the sewers and a handy security gate which covers most of its entrances. Inside the mall you can usually see the various walkways of the levels lined up against the inner walls with a small railing to keep any from falling. Elevators, stairs and escalators provide access to the many floors and the shops which cover almost every inch of the mall.<br><br>Basic Shape:<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/76a90695.png)<br><br>Brief Glimpse of the Interior:<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/8eaf3e1b.jpg)

All the survivors know is that their city and possibly a few of their neighbours might be affected. There is also very little knowledge of how it spreads. From what most have seen a small scrape from one of the creatures might turn someone but there have been those who have literally been bitten and still appear perfectly normal and healthy.<br><br><strong>Currently Known Types of Zombies:</strong><br>These names are just to help me identify them but you can choose to call them whatever you like...<br><br><strong>Shambler:</strong><br>These are the most common of the infected. They are basic humans who have been turned or brought back to life. <br><br><strong>Runners:</strong><br>They're essentially exactly the same as shamblers except they move a lot faster and there are generally fewer of them.
