The Undead: Zombie X
As we all know, there have been 5 Zombie Risings, with the first occurring in 1957 and the most recent in 1998. It was during the last Rising that Zombie X was created.
From what evidence has been gathered, it would appear that Zombie X was originally Jason Kesselman, of Council Bluffs, Iowa. His friends say that in the weeks just before the Rising, Jason was acting strangely and exhibiting more strength, stamina and agility than he ever had before. This would be in line with what is known to happen when the mysterious “X gene” is present in a human being. Unfortunately, Jason was attacked, bitten, infected and killed by one or more zombies on the first day of the Rising. Perhaps due to his mutant metabolism, he Rose in a mere 2 hours, not the normal 6 to 12 hours.
Although the Rising was fully contained and all normal zombies were destroyed, Zombie X was far too fast and strong to catch. He was also very smart, by zombie standards, having an intelligence just a bit below human normal. Still, he is a zombie and therefore needs to consume human flesh and brains on a regular basis. Thankfully, his mutant state seems to have neutralized the infectious aspect of his zombie bite.
Zombie X stands about 5’10” tall and has white hair. His eyes are bright green and he is far more muscular than the usual zombie. His body shows many wounds, but he is not rotting in the usual zombie manner. He can still speak a little and has been known to use this ability to lure tasty humans into grabbing range.

The Undead: Heather Addams, Teenage Ghoul
If Heather had known that magic was, like REAL, she totally wouldn’t have joined her friends Raven and Morgan in that coven thingy. But she did, and, like, that one spell went SO wrong and stuff.
In fact, they all died, but Heather didn’t stay dead…she became a ghoul. Oh, she didn’t know it at first, but when she began hungering for the flesh of the dead, she got a clue. It was like, WAY disgusting at first, but pretty soon she was way into that rorring flesh taste.
Now, Heather tries to lead a normal life, but it’s not easy. Her skin is getting gray and her teeth are getting sharp. Don’t even ask about the killer B.O. As for finding dead bodies to eat…well, she still has the remains of her dead friends, but once they run out, she might need to create a few new corpses.
Who says ghouls just want to have fun?
