Good question, I haven't thought a lot about the specifics of the zombies very much yet.Everybody's characters are lookin' great! : ) Every time I think I'm done with my CS, I keep coming back to make some tweaks.
Which leads me to another zombie question, oliver , since I'm working on some backstory. I know things are still being fleshed out, but I was wondering about how long would it take a person to turn once they've been bitten? And also, I think the Walking Dead has a rule (I haven't watched the show, but I've been reading about it a little bit to get an idea of the similarities, so if this is wrong, please forgive me) where if anyone dies in any way at all, they turn. Is that also going to apply here?
For a little spice, I think there is going to be a variation in the time it takes for people to turn. Like, maybe if someone is very injured/already dying, they'll turn quickly whereas maybe a small scratch or bite on someone otherwise healthy could take up to a week. I'll be working on a more official zombie guide to post in the Discord, and I'm also open to suggestions or other ideas. Like, maybe there are variations/different strains of the virus where if you get bit you're immediately throwing up blood and raging while another is slow and starts with a high fever and the symptoms get worse until they lead to death and reanimation.
With all that said, not everyone will turn like in TWD. It will have to be through a bite, a scratch, infected blood/saliva, etc. People that die of other causes won't reanimate. (But if anyone wants to fight me on that, go ahead. I'm not married to that idea and I'm 100% open for discussion!)
