The Infection

ngooch — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:10:52 CDT

A virus of an alien origin fell from the sky,

A Giant slug like creature fell to the earth. When the slug hit the earth it released its insides. pouring fumes from its exhaust-like pores spreading until the creature was deflated. The alien slug was filled with a bacteria.

This bacteria has the ability to take over the functions of living things, it breaks down the living organism and makes it need certain things that help the bacteria spread and survive. With its ability to control the host it is able to make things live past their life expectancy and also can bring back to life the recently dead. Desperate to thrive it takes everything it can in its initial pass. Spreading the disease to suitable hosts, wildlife and humans.

The Animal, once infected, loses control of its body. The virus takes control of the brain and uses it to manipulate for its purpose, survival. When mixed with the blood it starts to form bulges and in large concentrations of blood the infection can push its form out in ways that help it with its goals.

An example of this would be; from the artery in a human arm the black colored disease pushes its way on to the outer surface of the arm creating a stronger skin and binding objects on or near the skin to the body. so if the human was carrying an axe it would wrap its tentacles around it and make it part of the new body.

The outer black vine-like casings created by the virus can be shed and recreated, so in the case of our hero character he can control the use of his virus.

Trolls

ngooch — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:06:15 CST

Not to be mistaken with the trolls seen in fantasy, these are no different species. Once Human, but then through the use of magics( allowed to them by the gods) now portray frail and weak in body form. Not suitable for combat or the respect of a mortal man. They appear thin and even though they may not wield great weapons they have tricks up their sleeves indeed.

Hero

ngooch — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 22:14:35 CST

Half Human - Half Zombie:

Origin:
so far two possible forth comings;

1.Born during the initial spread of the infection. His mother was infected while in labor. (this can lead to side stories and possibly others who have the ability to control the infection)

This would make a great opening scene:

Woman is strapped to a bed gaged and screaming beneath the gag... A man stands over watching the birth. The baby is born. However it is infected. The man takes the baby, leaves the room and kills it. He then enters another room with the same scenario. (idea being that the man is raping the women in hopes to create a super human. one that embraces the virus and can still be trained to do his will)

2. The time of infection and the time of Ragnarok happen within such a short time that it would be impossible for him to grow up in time. So 2 is the option that there is some sort of chemical imbalance in certain people that makes them immune to the disease. However in the heroes case he is not fully immune he is only half.

3. He is infected just like everyone else, but through the help of Ullr learns to control the virus.

Powers:
Having The Infection helps, Those infected can not be seen by the gods from distances, the Gods ability to see the future is also useless against the infected. This will play a big role on how the game will be played. At times when gods can not know of our hero's presence he will have to be stealthy and creative. At times when it does not matter he can be more reckless and chaotic.

Feeding, the zombie in our hero can get the best of him.

Think about Venom, from Spiderman. Now think about an infection that can take over a person turning them into a zombie. Combine these together and you have the basic idea. A virus spreads through people that can manipulate blood and its spread through biting/saliva

Think About the time of Vikings (or maybe even the look of the new Beowolf movie) where Norse mythology was huge. A time when people believed dieing in battles was the only way to live.

Bring these Norse Gods to life at the time of Ragnorak (their Armageddon) Where everyones death, Even the Gods, is already written in stone. Now Bring in the unforseen Zombies and Create an unforseen Hero.

The Hero, A zombie, but in control of his body. With the ability to change the fate of the Gods and the world.

Will he help the gods assassinate eachother? Will he fight for choas or order?

Ullr

ngooch — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 13:08:33 CDT

Known as Thor's stepson. This god is the Bow God. He played a big role in the prehistoric times of Norse legend. Can be seen as the more tribal and will also give our hero his weapon, one way or another...

Ullr almsíma – Ullr of bowstring

This weapon will be the main weapon for the hero. It has blades at the ends and can be seperated as well. When in bow form it can be used as a staff (2 sided blade) when seperated it can be used as daggers, connected together by the bow string. the string will be useful when sneaking in kills from behind.

Opening Scene(prologue):
Meet the Hero in Chaos mode. His body is over taken by the infection with little signs of his humanity intact. He is on a road in a forested area, looking to feed. There is a wagon rolling along the path in an unusually slow manner. its is a big cart but only one horse pulls it. The men in the cart are bound to their cart with ropes and ties. Our Hero is not aware of this, mentally blocked by his need to consume flesh. He jumps through the back of the cart and tears into the skin of the helpless passengers. Their screams can be heard for miles. One man manages to break free and take off down the path. The Hero takes off after him. The two collide, the hero smashing the man to the ground and tearing into his chest..

The air is silent now except for the chewing of flesh. Arrows whir through the air landing around the hero. Connected to these arrows is a light glowing chain mesh . The Hero is caught in the trap. Trolls, the disfigured magic users, come forth from the forest. They gather the hero and take him into the trees. Ullr will be pleased.

Chaos Mode

ngooch — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 02:46:36 CDT

when the user takes souls from dead bodies he has the choice of keeping them in their true form or corrupting them(maybe by eating the soul). If the user chooses to corrupt them they add points to the chaos meter. When the chaos meter is full the user can then enable Chaos Mode.

In Chaos the user fights in a different style, think enraged thrashing hand to hand combat. The user stays in this mode until their rage points are gone, they un-enable it or they do something out of character(not sure what these are yet, maybe not killing enough in a time limit).

*The over use of chaos mode may also alter the characters look making them appear more zombie-ish or maybe if the user uses it too much it effects his ability to aim straight(possible side-effect).
* The main gameplay will determine a lot on the hero's accuracy because he is a stealth arrow-shooter who must use his sneaky ways to get into places at times without the gods guards knowing.
