Blood Resort Brainstorming
Overview: Zombie apocalypse caused by mosquitoes. It is on a tropical island.
Blood Conversion: This technology allows blood to be converted from one type to another.
Island History and Lore: It is a pirate's haven, probably just outside of most government's effective reach.
Vampire island is the progenitor of all vampires in the modern world. Any vampire outbreak can be traced back to this island. It mostly kept to itself, the vampires who wandered away causing problems for the ones here. They have built elaborate underground structures to keep out of the sunlight, which degrades them down to monsters.
Human relations might not have been the best, but with the creation of bone marrow derived blood and the donation of expired blood, they began to virtually feast.
The Mosquito Zombie outbreak began with heavy human experimentation, trying to recreate the vampire's unique blood type and using mosquitos. The zombies function as essentially bestial vampires, only seeking blood to survive and acting rather instinctually, likened to zombies.
Mosco Word: Mosquito is a diminutive term in Spanish, and implies the existence of a Mosco. Sure that word can be used somewhere here.
Vampire Human Hybrids: Humans not really turned into vampires but injected and integrated with vampire blood and organs. Some of them have extra hearts with them. These experiments mainly led to bloodthirsty monsters, being vampires essentially always starving and looking for blood to feast on, mainly. The mosquitos created also learned how to parasitize and control humans. What fun.
Gameplay
Mechanics
Blood Fury/Adrenaline Rush: Fill a meter by killing enemies to enter a rage mode with greatly increased damage and health. Said mode will activate if health reaches zero and the meter is full. EXP is rewarded after the rampage, with a multiplier applying as well.
Supply Runs: In the beginning there are several isolated areas with sought-after supplies. Earn some cash and bonuses by collecting these often heavy supplies and transporting them to a survivor haven of your choice.
Carrying Capacity: I like to gun run. Find a balance between carrying every weapon you can and also not just being a walking armory. Perhaps one can only have a few active weapons at a time. Dismantling weapons into their base components is also an option.
Factions
Resort Patrol/Police
Overview: The main police force of the island. They mainly stick around the resort. Several of them were trying to contain the outbreak and are thus found on the streets, often turned into brawlers due to their larger sizes. Their police vehicles often contain guns, ammo, and batons.
Criminals
Criminals: They are the de facto rule, composed of all the criminals who have flocked here.
Tribals
Vampire Blood-worshipping Tribals: The original inhabitants of this island. Long ago they found a way to coexist with mosquitos, turning into weak but long-lived vampires. Their need for blood encouraged trade, sailing out to prey on the outer world. This landed them in a bad light.
However, criminals became attracted to the island, often trading land rights for blood supplies. It was a raw deal, with some of the tribals ending up heading away from the burgeoning cityscapes. Some however integrated into the new society.
They learned how to exist and thrive with the mosquitos, some even turning into new vampires.
They use tribal weapons and despite being close to vampires, some of them are dark skinned. They have tribal tattoos and simple clothing. They use clubs with skulls as the head, tribal execution axes, execution swords, and especially shovel-like weapons that seem strangely suited to caving in zombie heads.
Vehicles
Police Patrol Car: Basic police car. Often can find ammo in the patrol car, rarely police batons and even police weapons.
Bus: Two types; City and Tourist Coach. City buses are meant for normal transport around the city. Tourist coaches are the larger cousin, carrying lots of passengers.
