Zombie apocalypse roleplay??

Howdy hey, how's it going?? 

I have returned because I am hella bored and once more I seek a roleplay buddy! Right now I'm really feeling a "zombie apocalypse / monster apocalypse" and I think I have a basic idea/start for a plot?? Not quite sure about it genre though. Aside for like adventure obviously and possibly horror or thriller given the gore and the kind of spooky aspect of zombies I suppose. Besides those though I'm really fighting on whether it should be romantic, platonic, or maybe like found family? Could be any honestly and I've got all sorts of characters that could fit into a zombie apocalypse / monster apocalypse tbh. 

For the virus in mind I've got something that's kind of a mix of until we die, bioshock, and final station with a little bit of 28 days thrown in (none of these games I have played but I have watched others / done research on them, 28 days is a masterpiece). 

Originally the breakout began with what was more of a rage virus, something a lot like what was seen in 28 days. This virus specifically has an unknown origin. No one knows where exactly where this one came from but of course, many do speculate the rage virus to have the same origins of what came around later. Lots of testing took place, the rage virus contained but about 58% of the population lost, I cure was found for this rage virus. Controversy took place however when those who took the cure and has successful recovery were heavily discriminated against. Many believing that they could turn at any moment. A civilian doctor, who had also been cured, did testing to see if they still possibly carry. From those findings this civilian doctor learned that no but one person within her testing pool seem to be carrying "something" however. It was too late though. 

The cure was true but in a small shipment of the cure that had been sent out I've been contaminated with something foreign. Something also man-made which took time to present and then activate. It is this contaminant, which I want to say went undetected for 20 years, that caused the actual zombie outbreak. Stereotypical rotting zombies and I'm thinking those that had been affected by the rage, they mutate almost. This modified zombie virus starts out in a rage, sickness before anger, but in the end the body self-destructs. Killing the affected and then causing the contagious zombie host vessel. And those that have been affected by the original rage but was then cured, they are like times 20 worse. Eventually they'll begin to rot, before then they'll become these horrid monsters similar to the normal people but worse. Think Sweet Home for the mutated. 

I do specifically have in mind a character who, while technically their identity is unknown, they themselves are kind of well-known. They help those that are traveling through the area knowing that it's a difficult area. Can't quite decide whether they were originally affected by the rage or if I want to be ~different~ and make brother like some freak experiment?? Gas mask as an accessory is a non-negotiable though I know that lol. 

Anyway if you're interested drop a comment or IM me! If you got some ideas too and want to add on to this let me know, I love hearing other people's ideas!!
