This is my idea dump page:

1: Bacteria Animate Corpse - T. Gondii changes to T. Rubum and after 2 weeks of decay to T. Letum

Note: IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BEGIN WITH T. GONDII. In fact, someone can have T. Gondii and not become a zombie. However, a certain strain of T. Gondii is what caused the beginning of the Z-pocalypse. T. Letum hunts people because it can reproduce itself in corpses of people. This includes basically any corpse with muscle tissue left on it.

2: Special zombies?

Gravediggers: Zombies who compulsively unearth bodies which become infected?
Oozers: Zombies whose pustules of blood constantly ooze a black liquid, highly infectious for up to 24 hours of being set, also works as a a trail to follow.
Howler: Zombies who screech and yell when people are near. Sounds emitted are concussive when inside rooms. Can shatter glass.

What about settings? We could do a personalized one for each character.... but it's more fun to have people in the same region so they can interact if they really want to.

Setting concepts:
Forested
Urban (Marquette)
Metropolis (New York)
Rural (Iron Mountain)
Mountainous
Costal

Hmmm, I like the ideas and I almost want to go the route of Dead Pulse and say people can say where they want to start and we will just use a Map Generator to make it work. But that also seems like a lot of work.

Also, a lot of towns and cities are gonna be really bad off. In fact, it is gonna be gray and bleak and zombie-infested. This will be due to bombing and people burning cities and stuff. Seeing animals is rare. I am thinking it has been maybe over a year and a half since the initial outbreak.

Ok. What kind of groups are out there? Obviously there are going to be bands of peaceful survivors, but there's also going to be bandits and looters. I'd imagine the Military is still in existence in some form as well.

"Military" exists. Main thing to remember is that they are not one cohesive unit anymore though. They have formed different armies and factions due to split views. They are also not very reputable, think the military from 28 Days Later. They are liars and cheats who just want food, slaves, and women.

sure, some of them might be like that. But remember, there are good people in the world, including the military. There's going to be small bands of people who want to help other survivors, and some of them are bound to be ex-military, so they'll have better weapons, be better organized, and probably have real plans on how to move on.
