Like Zombies?

[The Icy One]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/TheIceyOne/zombieheroes.jpg

We want you.. to die! Then.. come back and join us! :thumbup:

Libertyman and I came up with the idea to make our main heroes into zombies. Because we are out of room we relocated our plan to Guardian.. because it's a fresh place to start at and rot in harmony. The basic idea is that the heroes lost to Vahzilok in another dimension, Vahz basically took control of Paragon. He starts to uses fallen heroes as usual, but over time the heroes regain thoughts and rise against Vahz and destroy him. They decide to move place to place and kill every version of Vahz that exists.. first place being the game Earth.

So.. basically this is a for fun alt group. You get to zombify your hero, which as you can see above can work but might not be easy. I know most people won't be interested cause it's not on Virtue but.. anyone who is feel free to PM me. Also.. when/if you decide to join in.. simply name your hero "Name Z" Name being.. their name. Example.. Psy-Beetle Z

We are currently working on getting to Lvl 10, so.. any extra help would be nice. Hope to see some fresh meat out there willing to die for the cause.. a few more times. :think:


Sucessfully Becoming A Zombie
Small edit.. I wanted to give people a idea on how to zombify sucessfully. It's not simply changing a few things to zombie.. which it could be really. It's fading colors and generally giving them a more dirty look.

Take Psy for example, I colored his body the darkest skin purple then gave him his green patterns.. overtop of the Zombie Upper and Lower. I then gave him his scarf and mask, using the Bonehead face to give him a more dark feel. A made his gloves the more rustic looking of the two options, then for his feet I gave him green Insect boots with some yellow/brown color blended at the bottom for a real rust feel. Oh yea.. and the yellow/green for his belt rather than normal green.

[Doctor Death]

Pretty cool idea. Icy. I may need to make one for Seadevil

[Sun-Scarab]

yes, thats an awesome idea

[Gaia]

Amusing concept :lol: Hmm. A zombiefied Empy? Ewwwww!

[The Icy One]

Come on people.. zombies need to be in a horde.. two zombies is not enough.. o.o

[Kurai Inago]

Guardian Eh?
Hmmm.... Who to Zombifiy... Heh.

Hey, thats a awesome nice idea for a ripped up suit.

[Masked Revenger]

Hey, thats a awesome nice idea for a ripped up suit.

Thanks. I was tring to do something different. MR's costume covers up almost all of him, and I wanted to keep certain signature things (the belt, mask and R), while still making him look zombieish. So, the "blast" option did that rather well. Took forever to get the skin color to match, though.

Chris

[thebluecanary]

I totally love the Zombie Idea! Electrical Burn Z. OooooooOoo I think I will be busy tonight!

[thebluecanary]

I tried making EB Zombie, but it just doesn't look right. I get a grey wrinkled man. He doesn't have on tights, and I just can't get the Zombie bits to look, well, natural. Damn. Also I can never get the same pants or boots again.

[Grae Knight]

Introducing Empyreal zombie!



Now there is a suprise! Gaia with another alt lol :)

[Gaia]

I have more than just that on Guardian, muh ha ha!!! :P :D

[Jade_Dragon]

Oy. Guardian is the universe where Jade Dragon and Blue Diamond are girls. The names aren't free for zombie versions, and I don't want to give up the characters...

Maybe I'll make a "Jade Dragon Z" and "Blue Diamond Z" instead. Unrelated to the girls, a sort of alternate alternate. Or maybe I'll make Bloodwolf and Sandy as zombies. (I don't know if Sandy can "die", though. Her mechanical parts feed her organics and keep them alive. Maybe I'll create an alternate version that isn't a robot...)

[Gogo]

Oh **** yes. Stellar Strike Z being made now.

Do we have to have the same powersets as our original selves?

[Doctor Death]

This kinda makes me wanna write a story where some heroes actually go to the zombie universe... Hmmm...

[The Icy One]

I changed my powersets to fit the Vahz theme and such Gogo, but it's up to you of course.

And.. which zombie universe? The one with Vahz having taken over? o.o

[Cloud Runner]

Cloud Runner Z lives! ........or dies?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/ShadowHands/City%20of%20Heroes/cloudZ.jpg

[Doctor Death]

And.. which zombie universe? The one with Vahz having taken over? o.o

*shrugs* Didn't think that far ahead. A Marvel Zombies-like thing with the Guru heroes sounds fun though.

[Libertyman]

yes there must be more of the horde.

[Green Tower]

I'm interested in this, but haven't quite figured out what character to zombify.
Either Hurricane Jane or The Grey Mask. I want to use different power sets which might rule out Jane. Not sure yet.

[thebluecanary]

You gave me an idea. I think I'll uses the 'Spark Plug' costume for my EB Zombie. Its more tights and skin. So Zombie should be fun. =)

[Sun-Scarab]

just wondering,if I make a "Z" since is Vaz should my origin be science & should I change powerset to "story-match" the "upgrade" ? like if i wanted to be Spines/DA instead of Natural MA/SR ?

[Masked Revenger]

I think I'm going to re-roll MR-Z into a Science MA/Regen scrapper. It fits the story better. :)

Chris

[The Icy One]

I forgot to add that to the main post. However the powers are completely up to you, you can choose what happened to your hero in Dr. Vahz's experiments.. they could have left you the same, or done something else.. all your choice.. o.o

[Gaia]

I'm going to re-roll Empyreal's look and possibly the power sets for her. Need to make her clothes a little more tattered

[Kid Ferret_]

Lets see, on the left, we have Kid Ferret Z and next to him is Marmoset Z (One of my new alts, little monkey :P)

[Gaia]

The new even more horrifying Empyreal Z

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/kid_atomic/City%20of%20Heroes%20Stuff/EmpyrealZ2.jpg

[Green Tower]

I present the Grey Mask Z. His resurrection has corrupted him. Instead of MA/SR, he's DM/Regen. For the SG name, I suggest the Heroic Horde. Did you change her powersets, Gaia?

[Gaia]

Yep. Dark/electric defender

[Sun-Scarab]

http://home.comcast.net/~jdejesus13/z.JPG

Sun-Scarab Z

DArk/dark scrapper. (unless i totally dont like the apowers then i may do dark/regen.)

[The Widowed]

Oh, okay, I'll bite.

Holy crap! I think Widowed Z wins the Been Out of the Groud the Longest award. The Horde is growing! We need a name for the SG, though. Please post suggestions. Here are some shots from today.

[Libertyman]

Great teaming tonight.

The Zombies of Paragon
Zombies of Paragon
Zombie
Zombies
Ghouls

Hopefully this can be picked by tommarow

[Silentkilla866]

Wow, the majority of you have awesome costumes. :)

[The Widowed]

Holy crap! I think Widowed Z wins the Been Out of the Groud the Longest award.
That or the violence she indulges in removed her face in a more forceful manner not too long ago.... ;)

"But then, explain the eyepatch."

Yeah, well...yeah. :think:

Sorrrryyyy. I couldn't find any "Rotting Leather" options. Apparently leather's eternal. :)

I probably could have yoinked the hat though. It probably would fall off and get lost somewhere along the line....

[Gaia]

Could use the blast or the ripped patterns for the leather. That's what most people are using to make their outfits look messed up. Wait till 20 I'll get a torn cape. Planning black sparkles for 30 :)

Unfortunately you missed quite a bit of zombie teaming. Me, Gaia, and Libertyman were running when we pick up Quake fresh from the grave.

Here's what I have for a bio:

In an alternate universe the unthinkable happened. Dr. Vahzilok conquered Paragon City. He did this by releasing an airborn contagion that turned all living beings into zombies. Dr. Vahzilok then dug up every grave to zombify as many people as possible. His seemingly endless horde was spreading throughout the country. But something odd and unexpected happened. Some heroes, both previously dead and converted dead, began to achieve their former consciousness. With the aid of the unaffected robot heroes, this band of heroic zombies use Crey portals to travel to each universe to bring an end to Dr. Vahzilok to prevent the undead apocalypse from happening again.

What did the quarterback say to the running back? "Take it and run with it." :D

[Green Tower]

The Grey Mask Z is now level 10. We need a SG name. Start posting your ideas and we'll make a poll.

[Masked Revenger]

And so last night, the Zombies of Paragon were formed!

[Green Tower]

D'Ark and Mystic have made zombies and need invites.

[Gaia]

Oh no Dr. Vahz dug up Bob Marley and put him on TV! Yikes! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSv7BNQQbyU)

[TheImperial]

With Halloween tomorrow, what do you all say to a major Zombie invasion?!

[Gaia]

We here to save you and your Braaaaaainnnnssssss!!! *slaps self* Sorry instinct just takes over sometimes. *drools a bit*

[The Icy One]

The zombies aren't dead.. well, they are.. but not gone! I've been having some idea for the zombies, mostly involving Halloween which is awhile away, but these things shouldn't be sorted out in a hurry so months in advance is a good thing.

Anyway.. first thing..

1. Should we relocate to Virtue, even if only temporary for Halloween? Stay on Guardian? Somewhere else?
Some people kind of ignored us the last time, wasn't sure if it was a server Issue or not.. maybe it's not Virtue we need to relocate to? Maybe theres a better server for zombie fun, let me know and we can talk about it. Maybe Guardian is good enough?

2. When Halloween comes would you be in for the Zombie Horde?
It'd have to be well timed and we'd need a mass amount of zombies. But this is something we didn't really accomplish last year, we need mass zombies.. I'm not talking five or ten.. I'm talking somewhere between twenty to fifty, the more the merrier, ya know?

3. Should we start a post on the official boards at some point close to Halloween and try to draw in a larger zombie horde?
I don't go there often, but theres a large supply of fresh bodies there waiting for something like this. It could work out in our benefit, some people might even come out just to watch us horde. Plus it could bring up zombie numbers passed our hopeful goals.

4. Zombie Art?
Would you be willing to chip in to get your zombie artified? I had a idea of commissiong "The Revolt" from perhaps Poison. They'd be Inks Only, Inks works best for zombies.. anyone who reads The Walking Dead knows how well Inks turn out in that situation. This would start with a base portrait of Zombie Psy-Beetle and Dr. Vhaz.. then from there I'd have to speak to Poison to find out how much it'd cost us to add more zombies and perhaps some of Vahz human minions for lunch. If your interested, let me know.. because.. it'd only look great with mass zombies.. though we may have to limit it if we tried it.


So let me know what you all think and, I can't wait for the months to come in hopes that the mass horde of zombies happen. It'd bring a tear to my eye to see so many zombie heroes under Atlas..

[Masked Revenger]

1. I like it where it is, I have no more room on Virtue.
2. You betcha!
3. I kind of perfer it to be a Guru horde, but that's just me. I'm open to doing what ever the majority of the horde goes with.
4. I'm not sure I could add any money to this idea, but it's an awesome idea!

Chris

[Gaia]

I agree with everything MR said.

I too have no room on Virtue
Of Course I'll be up for shuffling around and screaming for brrraaaainnnnsss!
I would rather have a horde that I know than a horde of people that I don't trust
As for money for a picture. I can not do anything at this time. I'm barely keeping a roof over my family's head.

[Green Tower]

I echo what MR and Gaia have said. No room on Virtue, yes, keep it Guru,and I have no money to spend at the moment, but it's a great idea.

[Gaia]

ahem. . .Braaaaaaainnnnnssss!!! :D :lol:

[The Icy One]

We're not dead don't worry.. well we are dead, but we're still around. Keeping this around for the Halloween Horde. Hoping to dedicate some of the Zombies to a weekend of.. standing around wobbling this coming Halloween.

[Gaia]

Just had to get out my inner zombie there a moment

[Nightshatterer]

*Bump*
Anyone wanna try and use justice its not to heavily populated and we could setup a huge event like an infection outbreak. One heroes is infected and he infects the other by giving an inspiration(just to spread the "disease") and change costume from uninfected into zombie. If anyone is interested send Nightshatterer an email on justice. I Hope the infections spreads quick!

[The Icy One]

Well.. we picked Guardian because people have mains on Justice and Guardian seemed random enough. Also.. the Zombies of Paragon don't infect.. we are like normal Vahz zombies, except alittle more nice and more intelligent. Although that scenario isn't bad.. it would be fun to see that used for a Villain version, maybe.

Go go ZoP Rangers!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/TheIceyOne/johnbecaro/JBZombiesSML.jpg

I just love seeing that..
