Codi may I humbly request you info-dump about the zombie oc you just posted? Anything you want to say about them and in any order that they come to you.
AJFNQJDNA HI ARIOZ JUMPS ON YOU THANK YOU YES YES YES!!!!!
so. ehehem. this is a little bit of a surprise actually but im kind of sort of maybe JUST maybe...
...planning a zombie apocalypse webcomic? (OOPS)
its nothing solid yet and its nothing confirmed! it was just a little plot bunny that emerged from one wacky and long conversation i had w a few ppl in the collidisc and got me SOOO obsessed that i decided to take the leap and try my hand at making a comic series!
the fella i just posted earlier is a 17 year old special-infected 'zombie' named 'Perch' ! they're a silly little guy and one of the main characters of my planned webcomic — along with their two besties whos names i cannot yet reveal 👁 perch is a teenager who was caught in a mall right as the zombie apocalypse hit and was swept up into a rag-tag group of teenagers who share one thing in common:
gifted kid burnout syndrome
together, this group of suspiciously talented teenage proteges learn to survive the world after its zombification, while also maybe healing along the way.
perch themself is a very happy go lucky and mischievous kid, often being the one in the group who makes the most jokes and lightens the mood with a prank or two whenever the going gets tough. however, perch is also a teen with an extreme martyr complex, so one day an incident occurs that changes them forever when they get run over by a large horde of zombies.
surprisingly not dead, perch learns that they are actually 'immune' to the zombie virus and thus did not lose their life despite being swamped. unlike most "immune characters" in zombie media however, perch does NOT gain any special powers or superhuman abilities. no super healing ability, no strength, not even not getting attacked by other zombies! they still get chased by zoms' that havent already tried biting them, and thus explains all the bitemark scars they have all over their body.
using their newfound immunity from zombie bites and knowing that they are one of the only people in their survivalist group that do not have a certain chance of death every time they go out alone, perch becomes one of the main scouts and fighters of the small group.
if you think giving one of the most self sacrificial and wreckless members of a group a special power that allows them to throw themselves into even RISKIER situations is a bad idea...
well. you'd be right!
