Heroes of Humanity

During the Zombie Apocalypse humanity has surprising heroes. The ancient enemies of humanities become reluctant patrons.

Lycanthropes: Surprising Heroes
In Midian "Changing Folk" are feared, often feared far more then other sentient predators. In part, it is their ability to live and move amongst people without the people knowing they are there. It is the fear of being prey. The fear of danger from within one's own. The fear of the madness that may ensue an outbreak of lycanthropy. For these things they are hunted. To be a lycanthrope is to be hated, it is to be feared. It is to live a very secret life. They are feared even now during a Zombie Apocalypse but the werewolves are also very resistant to the Infectious Zombie Virus, IZV. Many of the werewolves feel it is their duty, their new role to keep a form of humanity alive. What they do not know is what will happen when they are exposed. Lycanthropy has been common throughout known Midian history and the disease that spreads it becomes more aggressive in the presents of the IZV; introducing the Human Lycanthropy Virus.

Vampires: Reluctant Patrons
In Midian Vampires are the undisputed masters of undeath and they are without a doubt completely resistant to the IZV. While Vampires are immune to IZV much of their prey is not, and without humanity they can not create more vampires. That need for civilization forces many Vampires to act as humanity's Reluctant Patrons.

How they choose to save humanity and who the choose to save is another story. A story that may play out in your own game.
