The Zombie Apocalypse Meme

A meme where your character is either retrofitted for the zombie apocalypse (AU), or perhaps they are suddenly dropped into a zombie apocalypse setting (Jamjar), or maybes some mix of the two? Be creative! Have fun! It's only the end of the world.

• Post to the meme.
• While you can leave a blank toplevel, you're encouraged to leave some details about your character and what they're doing in the apocalypse.
• Tag around. Can you survive in this strange world?

Junko Konno | Zombieland Saga

[legendaryshowaidol]

(While these zombies don’t seem to be sentient they at least aren’t bothering her. It’s the convincing the humans she’s not THAT kind of zombie that’s a problem.]

Turyin Mulaghesh | Divine Cities/City of Blades

[yellowrivers]

[[Funnily enough, she's fresh off the back of preventing what could be described as a zombie apocalypse, so let's just say she's going to be less than impressed to find one happening anyway.]]

[[Character summary (since I haven't got around to putting any info in her journal): a general in her early 60s who did some pretty serious war crimes when she was younger, then spent several years in administration, then lost a hand in a battle against a god and tried to retire, only to get pulled out of retirement for One Last Job. She's a hardbitten, sharp-edged kind of woman who nonetheless cares deeply about the people under her command and is prepared to do a lot for them.]]

[[Apocalypse-wise, she's a good person to have on your side, but she's also going to be an asshole about it. She'll have fortified herself a home base and will be keeping to it as much as possible, but will also be available to answer any cries for help, because, well. A soldier serves.]]

william birkin \ resident evil series

[retroviridae]

[ This is at least partly his fault by virtue of aiding and abetting the "dispatch" of his old mentor who would then go on to... IYKYK. Mostly interested in playing him during the events of the original RE, but it could also be fun to play out a breach in containment earlier in the timeline.

William's a very selfish, very callous individual, but if teaming up with your character seems to increase his odds of survival, he'll do it. At least he's kind of an expert on this, and he does keep a gun in the lab like a totally normal guy. Voicetesting/shaking off the dust after several years, bear with me. ]

[timetechs]

( A young man who carries a stupid ninja sword — and knows how to use it. Thanks to a (turns out not so) crazy survivalist older brother, he's out there thriving alone in the zombie apocalypse, but he's willing enough to join up with a partner if he finds one.

He also may or may not have a dark secret in his past linking him to the spread of the zombie virus. There may or may not be members of a shadowy government agency hunting him down. Whatever the case, he's handy to have around in an emergency. )

Eddie Munson | Stranger Things | OTA

[jukebox_hero]

[Eddie's more of a hunker-down-and-fortify kind of guy. Sure, he'll fight if it comes to that, but he'd really rather not. He's also got a van if things need to go mobile.]

Eggsy/Mordred - Kingsman - OTA

[kingsmansmordred]

[Kind of uniquely qualified for this sort of thing, as secret agents are wont to be.]

Betty Winchester | Supernatural OC/AU | OTA

[lady_metallicar]

[Saving people, hunting things, it's what she does.]

Sebastian | nu!Suicide Squad | OTA

[littlest_sebastian]

[Who needs an adorable animal sidekick? EVERYONE!]

Henry | X-verse OC | OTA

[malesiren]

[I love throwing this kid into zombiepocalypse universes - his mutant power was super useful at the Safe Zones, until someone got the idea to try surgery to increase his range and that fucked everything up. Since then he's been tooling around in a stolen van, doing what he can to help survivors.]

Claire Temple | MCU | OTA

[night_nurse]

[It's everyone's favorite medical professional. She's probably got a fortressed clinic somewhere, or maybe a mobile one, I'm good for either.]

10K - Z Nation - OTA

[notjeff_yet]

[Zombies? Must be a day that ends with Y.
I usually play him prior to falling in with the group.]

Klaus | Umbrella Academy | OTA

[ouiking_ouija]

[This is literally his nightmare.]

Layla | Moon Knight | OTA

[scarlet_scarab]

[She's gone up against zombies before and it turned out okay! She's definitely all about keeping people safe, though.]

Steve Harrington + Stranger Things + OTA

[the_hair]

[Some new problem from the Upside Down? Something else that got loose from the lab? Something else entirely? As long as schmacking it upside the head with a nailbat works, he'll be fine.]

Tobi | Zombie apocalypse OC | OTA

[ttlyqualified]

[This is what she does! It's her whole deal! She's wandering towards California in the hopes of finding a plot of land or a big ol' house she can commandeer.]

Shiny | Fabulous Killjoys OC | OTA

[twice_as_shiny]

[Not so many zombies in her 'canon', but it could be good to shake things up. Might be what happens to the folks who get sun-sick.]

[radioactivedonuts]

[May I offer a fellow 'joy in these zombie times?]

Lucy + Z-Nation + OTA

[zmurfette]

[She's kind of half-zombie? She's also got daddy issues and an affinity for the zombies, most of them will listen to her, but not all of them.]

Chrissy Cunningham (AU) | Stranger Things | OTA

[cheerybomb]

[Okay she came back from the dead but not like that. She'll probably need a rescue, at least at first, but she's Angry™ and having zombies to take that out on will be therapeutic and good for her.]

Clint Barton/Hawkeye/Ronin | MCU | OTA

[differentcircumstances]

[It was either this or the ultron-army. He's not really sure which is worse.]

[brushpass]

(god the ultron-army-universe lives rent free in my head. would you be up for some kind of zombie wasteland reunion? one of them has been alone, the other is out looking for survivors?)

Zepar | Fallen Angel OC | OTA

[hurtyourealgood]

[He's probably fallen back into old habits of protecting a few people in a secluded valley somewhere (or an abandoned shopping mall or small apartment building, basically anywhere they can fortify and live)]

frannie goldsmith | the stand

[ogunquit]

( it's not her normal flavor of apocalypse, but why not? )

[thisblankpage]

(at least they're in it together?)

Bucky Barnes - MCU - ota

[woundedwinter]

(I would love to play with the What If version and have Bucky hunting zombies. But he'll be in the middle of things, doing his best to save as many as he can)

Albert Wesker | Resident Evil | ota

[virologist]

[ Likely is the one responsible for the outbreak. Has a history of experimenting with various virus strains resulting in mutations (BOWs or bio organic weapons). Is power hungry and also has subjected himself to various virus strains that allow for him to have enhanced abilities (superhuman strength, regenerative and healing capabilities, and speed, as well as immunity to certain virus strains to a degree just to name a few). OTA including mashups, jamjar settings, aus, and cross-canon. canonmates welcome of course. ]

not me double tagging.. uh oh sisters!

[retroviridae]

He needs to be put down like a mad dog before this goes any further.

[ Senile old bastard didn't even do them the common decency of staying dead. And now here's the alleged reanimated corpse of James Marcus, out for revenge for what? The determination he taught them? The mansion is fine, the mansion is the perfect in situ run to test t's strength—but if he is who he says he is, if Wesker's right, that's going to need to wait. ]

There's a gun in the clean room. [ That he intends to use—Wesker is already armed. ] We need to finish this before he tries to tell someone.

daryl dixon | twd | ota.

[pigsfeet]

[hunter, tracker, survivalist. fine with assumed cr (he's been with your group for a while, but on the fringes of it) or new cr (he meets you in the middle of nowhere and doesn't attack, weird).]

[notyourgovernor]

[Just a couple of bros on a run after the end of everything? I'm good for any canon point including AUing them finding one another again. They're due that much]
