They will kill and devour virtually any living thing, wether it be human or animal. They prefer living flesh, and will only eat dead flesh and rotting bodies unless they cannot find any living prey at all. They will head out on long searches and hunt for prey before consuming a decaying corpse. They can climb, including ladders, they can swim, and can use very basic "tools", such as using a rock to break a window or a heavy object to break down a door. Their strength depends on how strong they were as a living human. If they were a weak person, then now they are weak in living death, and vice versa with strength. They generally either walk fast, or trot or even jog, though this tends to depend on how decayed their body is and if the muscle mass and tendons are still in tact to allow exerted movement. Needless to say, these are not [b]TWD[/b]'s ever predictable Walkers. [/hider] [b]STORYLINE SKELETON[/b] [hider=STORYLINE] The Roleplay will initially begin on the road, just short of an hour prior to the group deciding to stray down a back road shortcut to avoid condensed and sluggish traffic all the way into Vegas. This short scene will allow for some character development and personal relationship kindling. After 2 hours of driving down the shoddy back road, the RV breaks down and the group find themselves stranded in the desert in the dawn of night. This will be worsened when a Zombie emerges from the darkness and attacks the group. They will thereafter discover a sign that directs them to the countryside community hamlet of Hard Edge. Initially thought to be either high or a group of prankster kids, the local police officer arrests and locks them up for the night and will question them in the morning. That next morning early is when the horde converges on the town. From there we will further write the story.

So, he packed his luggage, pooled together his savings from this last semester, and called up his 5 closest friends from college. They all met up at his apartment and then loaded up the RV and headed out, eager for a solid week of gambling, partying, and fast living in Las, Vegas. While Jack is a mutual friend to everyone in this group, the diverse individuals themselves are only somewhat familiar with each other. Jack stated that this week long trip would give the five a chance to form stronger bonds with each other as well as himself.
