More lore? You got it \o/
[i]Subject C.W. Chaz seems to be more alert and responsive now, and less confused. He woke up a couple of the lab techs in the middle of the night though - panicked moth squeaking isn’t something they’re used to hearing. We thought he was having a nightmare, but that was only half-true. It seems like he’s starting to remember the circumstances of his head injury now, and whatever he saw must have terrified him.
He says he saw Coulter out in the fields as one of the undead.
That much doesn’t surprise me, Coulter was always careless, for all I know he really has become a zombie. Chaz says that Coulter just wouldn’t die. Sure, zombies regenerate given enough time, pulping Coulter or chopping up his body would have stopped regeneration, though. To that end I asked him why he didn’t just butcher or pulp the corpse - apparently he tried, but he was too afraid to do it - understandable, after the sort of things Coulter put him through.
The most disturbing part is that Coulter apparently spoke to Chaz. Sometimes a zombie retains its vocal functions, but Coulter apparently still recognised Chaz, and blamed him for what had happened. I think that part is just Chaz’s stress getting to him, but I gave him a hug (With his permission) and told him he was safe here.
Poor guy. [/i]
Part lore, part an idea for a mod-I-would-totally-make-if-I-knew-programming sorta deal - a new negative trait, which I’m tentatively calling “Haunted”. The idea is that out of all the zombies in the world, there is a unique one that has a special tie to your character - a zombie who used to be someone they feared intensely (Be it a bully, or a particular dentist, or in this case Chaz’s physically abusive project manager Coulter), who will show up rather infrequently but unexpectedly and repeatedly, to cause trouble.
This unique zombie (Whose name, gear and maybe even randomized quotes would be editable through JSONs) behaves like a standard zombie, and is easy enough to kill, but causes a minor morale hit simply by being seen and recognised - they’d be first recognised when a player gets within maybe… 10-20 tiles of them? Close enough that they can see the zombie’s face and recognise them, basically. Much like other zombies, the Haunted trait zombie will regenerate and revive - however, their corpse cannot be butchered, as their sheer presence is terrifying enough that the player can’t bring themselves to do it (Or if they try to anyway, the zombie leaps up and attacks them, which in turn creates a bigger morale hit because come on - having a zombie jump you -as- you’re trying to butcher it would be traumatizing).
Still figuring things out but I liked the idea of ChazMoth being hunted infrequently by an unkillable Coulter zombie in the game - after being “killed”, the zombie would get up and flee some indeterminate time later, so they can set up for their next attack.
There are so many reasons this probably wouldn’t work, but hey, a moth can dream. (Or have nightmares). Sorry for the wall of text with this picture, ahaha.[/quote]
gives chaz a lazer gun burn that fucker
