We'd love to have you! The post-nuclear comment was made in regards jimi's novel, not the RP, but a post-nuclear zombie RP does sound pretty badass. I think it'd be too much to focus on and we should focus on the zombie part for now, though.

The skill set idea would make the RP much deeper but I'm wondering how it'd affect accessibility. I'd rather not make things too complicated; it's looking like this RP will already be quite complex judging by how many different characters there are and how many different storylines will be running concurrently. I think we could go for a simpler version by asking writers to RP their characters accurately... if you're rp'ing a character who weighs 120 lbs, it's probably best not to wield a heavy weapon.

If you were to get injured bad enough then yes, the injury would stick with you. I'm foreseeing things like amputations in this RP and that would definitely affect your character in future sequences. If you break your arm, you're not gonna be able to use that arm at all until later on. Complications with the injury would be down to you and how you'd wish to develop your character :)

Can't wait to see your character sheet, I better get started on mine!
