The Good, The Bad, and the Infected

[*Gill]

Trapped inside the city of Alexandria, you're
going to need to know exactly what you're
up against. Zombies of all kinds seem to have
crept their way into this roleplay from the
Special Infected of the Left 4 Dead series,
the common infected of George A. Romero's
Dawn of the Dead, and they all seem to run
on the chemistry written down by Max Brooks
in the "Zombie Survival Guide". These elements
put together make up the Infected of
Violence in Silence

THE SPECIAL INFECTED

These special infected are ones whom the virus
has taken a dangerous mutation, making its host powerful
and deformed, at the cost of making them susceptible to
death by bodily harm rather than just destroying the brain
like a normal infected.

• The Witch
  
  When survivors get in range of the Witch, she becomes
  startled. If survivors are unaware and persist, the
  Witch then becomes aggressive and will stand up to chase
  the survivor that upset her. With one swipe the Witch will automatically incapacitate a
  survivor and begin to violently tear at them with
  long claws until she is killed. Sometimes the Witch
  can bug out and hit two if someone is close
  to her and/or blocking her from the main target. She is
  extremely dangerous and should be avoided at almost
  all costs.
  
  
• The Tank
  
  The Tank is a giant beast with an abnormally muscular
  upper body who relies on his health and strength to pummel
  the Survivors and lob debris. The Tank uses its speed and
  large amount of health to close the distance and slam the
  Survivors with its massive fists, knocking them back and
  doing a lot of damage. If the Survivor is knocked down, the Tank
  can bash the Survivor until they are dead. The Tank can smash
  cars and other large objects to send them flying towards the Survivors. If there is
  nothing around, the Tank will rip a chunk of earth from the ground and toss it.
  Tanks are brutal, and your best bet to kill them is continuous
  shots to its tiny head area.
  
  
• The Hunter
  
  The Hunter is a normal looking infected that wears a dark,
  hooded sweatshirt and leaps from the shadows upon
  unsuspecting Survivors to maul them. The Hunter is able
  to pounce great distances to land upon the Survivors and
  proceed to shred their flesh from bone. In order to do this
  attack, the Hunter must crouch or crawl until the pounce
  is charged up. The Survivor is held helpless and the
  Hunter cannot end this attack until the Survivor is killed
  or the Hunter is knocked off. The Hunter may also use this
  leap to barrel into a Survivor and knock them backwards,
  possibly off of a ledge
  
  
• The Smoker
  
  The Smoker is an average sized boss infected covered
  in growths and boils and has a fifty foot long tongue as its
  primary weapon. He also releases clouds of smoke.
  The Smoker's tongue is fired at the head of a Survivor and
  wraps around their neck, crushing the soft tissue and bones like toothpicks in a matter of minutes.
  Smokers can choke its victim
  from above by hanging them from its tongue. A choking Survivor
  is unable to move or attack until another Survivor rescues
  them. During its tongue attack, the Smoker is helpless,
  even if it misses. When at a more horizontal angle from
  the victim, the Smoker can use its tongue to pull a Survivor
  towards itself, moving the Survivor away from his or
  her team. Further, this action poisons the Survivor.
  The longer the Smoker pulls the Survivor, the more the
  Survivor's health is poisoned. If the Smoker completely
  pulls the Survivor to itself, all of the Survivor's health
  is poisoned. When the Smoker is shot he releases
  an obscuring cloud of smoke, limiting the Survivor's
  vision. A smoke cloud is also released around the
  Smoker with every tongue attack.
  
  
• The Boomer
  
  The Boomer is an obese methane-filled monster infected
  covered with boils whose main form of attack is projectile
  vomit, but also explodes when shot. The Boomer's vomit is
  released in one large attack, and in the right circumstances
  can hit more than one target. The vomit obscures the vision
  of its victims, and also acts as a pheromone to both
  existing infected, and causes more to be spawned and
  attack the victims. If the Boomer drops from a high
  enough height, it will "pop" and blood will spread to any
  Survivors in the immediate area, having the same effect
  as a vomit attack would. When successfully shot at, the
  Boomer explodes which covers any nearby Survivors with
  puke.
  
  
  
• The Charger
  
  Kind of like The Tank's younger, more athletic brother,
  The Charger is a brute and a bully who enjoys roughing
  up survivors who cross his path. His primary attack is a
  barreling charge that will plow through any survivors in
  his way like a freight train, knocking them aside, stunning,
  and hurting them. In addition, The Charger will hang
  onto the last survivor he bowls into and carry them
  until he either collides with something or travels his full
  running distance of about 80 feet, at which point he ends
  his charge and begins repeatedly pounding his captured
  survivor into the ground, dealing substantial damage
  with each pound. The Charger can also inflict considerable
  damage with his standard melee swipe, given that his
  right arm is the size of a tree trunk.
  
  
• The Spitter
  
  Dribbling a stream of green spittle behind her
  and gurgling profusely, The Spitter hauks the ultimate
  loogie. When she uses her projectile spit attack,
  she hurls a ball of acid in a straight line that drops after
  about 60ft, forming a pool of highly corrosive acid on the
  ground that inflicts continuous damage to all survivors
  who remain in it. The acid pool disappears after a few
  seconds, so it's most potent when used against survivors
  who will have difficulty moving out of it (e.g. in tight quarters,
  while being mobbed, while captured by another special
  infected, etc.) The Spitter also has very low health - dying
  after taking only a couple of bullets - encouraging her to
  hide out of sight of the survivors and snipe them with her
  spit attacks. (Note: The acid does float on water and still
  causes damage when doing so)
  
  
• The Jockey
  
  Laughing like the deranged maniac he is, The Jockey
  just loves taking survivors for rides. He can hop short
  distances and if he manages to land on a survivor,
  he will mount their head and be able to steer them in
  whatever direction he wishes. A survivor that is being
  'jockeyed' this way may try to resist The Jockey's influence
  by holding down movement directions opposite the
  way The Jockey is taking them, but can only slow
  The Jockey's control, not negate it. As the Jockey
  rides his victim, he also periodically smacks their head,
  dealing small amounts of damage.
  
  
  

The Common Infected




The virus has spread, the infected moan and deteriorate,
claw and scramble for flesh. The people who receive these
vicious bites have the disease flushed into their bloodstream,
and are infected within a twenty four hour period.
The transformation is painful, paralyzing, and the worst kind of
hell you can experience before your sanity snaps under
the aggression modification.

Each zombie feels no pain, does not tire, and will claw
and chase after flesh until it completely disintegrates,
or is killed otherwise. The virus controls the brain, and
an Infected can only be killed by destroying the monsters
gray matter. As the virus tears down the brain, the hosts
abilities to comprehend, speak, run, jump, remember,
climb, swim, or anything get lost one by one. In a crowd,
it is likely few of them will posses any of these abilities
depending on how long they've been infected. They posses
only the strength of the previous host, but pushed to its
greatest length as it cannot tell when its tearing its muscles
or breaking its bones.
