Character

Zombies

Created by Eternia

Once, Zombies were a collective of noble grave-keepers who discovered an ancient plague spreading through their kingdom, transforming the living into mindless, ravenous creatures that clawed from their earthen tombs. Realizing the curse could only be stopped from within, Zombies made the ultimate sacrifice—deliberately exposing themselves to the affliction to understand its mechanisms and find a cure. Trapped between life and death, animated by sheer willpower and purpose rather than hunger, they rose again as something unprecedented: undead warriors with their minds and morality intact. Now they hunt their corrupted brethren not out of malice, but as a grim duty to protect humanity from the mindless hordes that shamble forth each moonless night. Their rotting forms belies a fierce determination to shield the living from becoming food for the damned, intercepting the risen dead before they can reach populated settlements. Though feared and reviled by those they protect, Zombies presses onward, knowing that only they can traverse the graveyards and crypts where the plague gestates. In their androgynous, decaying frame burns the heart of a true protector—cursed to walk the line between two worlds, eternally fighting to prevent the apocalypse they were born to contain.
