Hey so this is me the author Rainier and this chapter is basically going to be me explaining and giving some background information on the world and characters of the story, as well as being transparent about the current status of the story.
[BACKGROUND]
The year 2089 and the world is pretty much the same that is until there is a zombie outbreak and ohh horror stuff happens.
[ MAIN CHARACTERS]
(Nathan): Our MC he is 24 and a bit of a slacker without much talent, surprisingly enough though he knows a good bit about plant life due to being in gardening club when he was a teen. Appearance wise he's average averge height (5ft 9) and has East Asian features of black eyes and black hair. He's really an unremarkable character now that I think about it but he's our protagonist and we love him.
(Shawn): He's our ML and a bit of a character. he's 19 and sUpEr smart and QuIrKy. Appearance wise he's a bit taller than Nathan at 5ft 10 he's brown skinned with glasses and curly hair (I didn't mention he's glasses before but AaHahA).
(Cheyenne): She's like my one of my favourite characters. Her nickname is Chey and she's 27, she is pretty good at archery and hand to hand combat competing and winning in a few tournaments when she was younger. Appearance wise she's 5ft 8 with short bleached hair and brown eyes.
(Gideon): He's Cheys little brother and 19. He's quite, quiet when you first get to know him but he actually has a sailor's tongue (he swears a lot). He also has a big interest in Art and was on the swim team when he was younger. Appearance wise has the shortest of the bunch at 5ft 7 and has brown hair with green eyes .
(Norris): He's 30 and the oldest of the bunch so is kind of an authoritative figure. He has an icy unapproachable exterior but he's actually pretty chill when you chip that away, he is an ex-fireman and he also likes to tell dad jokes. Appearance wise hes 6ft with a stocky build and he's blond headed and blue eyes. Both his parents were Norwegian so he has roots in Norway.
[TYPE OF ZOMBIES]:
Type 1: The most common type of zombies. They're the stereotypical kind you see on tv. Slow moving seemingly unintelligent and have a rotting and smelly appearance. The zombies that are included in this story are nocturnal mainly due to the sun having negative effects on their skin speeding up the process of deterioration on their bodies
Type 2: Little is known about these zombies as reports of them are sparse. They are zombies who have gone through a sort of mutation that differentiates them from the majority. This mutation varies in intensity from Type 2 to Type 2 but seems to result in an increase in intelligence and athletic abilities. Type 2's have even been reported to have been seen running and holding something of semblance to a conversation to other zombies. They have a limited resistance to rotting so there bodies seem to hold shape for longer than other zombies and from a distance could even be mistaken for human.
[Where I've been]
I feel like a few people are a bit unsure if I was even going to continue this story and yeah, I definitely plan on continuing. It's been a dream of mine for ages to write a story and I'm so happy I'm finally doing it. I was really excited when I started this story constantly thinking about it and planning what it was I would do next but gradually and gradually the momentum died out and coupled with me having to go back to school I could barely find any motivation to continue writing. So I took an unexplained break which was very bad of me but it freed up my time to focus on my other hobbies and think about what it was that I wanted to do with this story and I plan make more time soon to focus on the story . As much as I have an obligation to the reader to continue this story, I also have an obligation to school and work that I cant ignore :(((. So yeah in summary will work on making time for the story and gone back to the drawing board for a bit.
