As for pestilence, I have to throw my vote away from zombies. There are thousands of possibilities. If we make it modern times, we could say that the Ebola virus has made it's way over seas untamed. Or we could make a disease that has similar properties or totally different ones. I say let's be more original for this one. Don't get me wrong, I love zombie apocalypse stuff, but it seems like every story or RP with pestilence is about zombies.
