What does a Trenchcoater look like and why is he called a Trenchcoater?

Typical Trenchcoaters. Trenchcoaters coming from a revive point. (Assault weapons and katanas not visible)

The term stems from the trenchcoat, which is featured in almost all trenchcoater descriptions; if a color is given, the trenchcoat is almost uniformly black. Other things usually mentioned in trenchcoater descriptions are scars and bandaged wounds (which are somehow immediately visible, but not severe enough to hinder activity at all), "crazed looks" in their eye(s), shades/sunglasses, combat boots, swords (especially katanas, despite swords not being in the game save the fencing foil), being tall/pale/dark, automatic weapons like AK-47s and Uzis (again, despite not being in the game), rusty/gleaming/blood-stained melee weapons, references to being a marine/Navy SEAL/special forces soldier, and outright statements that the character is "badass" or otherwise intimidates everyone they meet.


What Trenchcoaters do

Trenchcoater with Shotgun. Even without the trenchcoat they're easy to recognize.
  • He goes outside the buildings during a siege and pumping his AP and ammo into some random zombies (often hitting dead survivors waiting for a syringe), afterwards he gave a exact status report inside the building about how many zombies are outside, how many he had heroically killed and how many Trenchcoaters it needs to kill all the zombies.
  • Status reports are the key element in the life of a Trenchcoater (except for senseless pumping ammo into some random zombies). If a break-in occurs, the Trenchcoater had to announce it, preferably in CAPS. He tells everybody inside the attacked building how many zombies are participating in the break-in, despite the fact that everybody can see the number for himself. If the barricades level getting lower or somebody had just demolished the generator or killed another survivor a Trenchcoater tells everybody inside, again preferably in CAPS.
  • If a Trenchcoater witness a break-in in process he will usually make a witty remark how fucked all those present are. i.e.: OH FUCK 20 ZOMBIES INSIDE!!!! YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKED! GOOD LUCK!
  • Most likely he will pump some ammo into the zombies while insulting them.
  • When killing random zombies the Trenchcoater is prone to insult the zombies with vaguely witty remarks and downright abusive slurs. A Trenchcoater makes it sure everybody knows he is an alpha jerk and a class A asshole.
  • A Trenchcoater will often talk about the total victory over the zombies and how it could be achieved by senselessly pumping ammo into random zombies outside (being seemingly unaware that zombies simply get back up when "killed").
  • He likes to create grandiose and incredibly inefficient plans and gives the operations catchy names like Operation Black Death Revival and Operation Blazing Edges.
  • A Trenchcoater loves to barricade. It makes him feel protected and he becomes king of his own castle. He seldom barricades safe houses that are inhabited by other survivors though, but in case he is alone or in a small group he begins do build an EHB Fortress of doom. Afterwards he claimed the entire Building for himself and gives him a clever name like "Bealey Towers," "the last line of defense," or "Pasker Library, home of the brave."
  • If the Trenchoclorian count in the bloodstream of a Trenchcoater is high enough he is founding a group and gives it a name in good Trenchcoat tradition. Names usually use, but not limited to, variations of names such as * Defence Force, * Corporation, Black *, * Militia, * Brigade, * Republic, Army *, and * Departmant [sic]. This group often has a totally hardcore agenda like dominating entire Malton/the whole World and/or achieve victory over all zombies (somehow). The group usually consists of the sole trenchcoat creator.
  • Healing is very seldom practiced by a Trenchcoater, but he loves to complain if others do not heal him fast enough.
  • If the Trenchcoater is targeted by a Pker, he never changes the safe-house he sleeps in (making him an easy target), but never miss complaining about that fucking griefer that killed him over and over again and how he must be cheating because he always seems to find him. He will vehemently announce that said PKer is now KOS and will be hunted down in all eternity, accompanied by heavy swearing and unfunny insults.
  • If killed by a zombie the enraged Trenchcoater immediately begins to attack the zombie who killed him. Or a random zombie; they aren't too discriminating.
  • If the Trenchcoater is becoming a PKer he most likely did it because someone spray painted over his marvelous graffiti, ignored his special house rules or said something about his Trenchcoater group or his ridiculous profile.
  • A Trenchcoater fails all attempts to teach him something useful and will never learn from his own mistakes.

Other Forms of Trenchcoating

Labcoater

A Labcoater is the Trenchcoat of science a geek version of the common Trenchcoater. He changes the trenchcoat with an labcoat often ragged and smeared with blood and carries dozens of syringes and technical equipment. In many cases they claim that they were responsible for the outbreak in Malton.

Armycoater

Armycoater are military Trenchcoater. Most trade the infamous coat whith military outfit. Common accesory include Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Infrared Google, Frag Grenade and other stuff used by the military. Many claim to be U.S Army soldier (despite the fact that Malton is more or less officially in the UK), Navy Seal or some sort of Black Ops guy. The most extreme specimen carry Rocket Launcher and/or Gatling Guns.

Ninjacoater

No one see them. They are hidden in the shadow...

Ninjacoater exchange the classic Uzi and Assault Rifle's whit Shuriken and Kunai. Most wear ninja outfit. They are the most silent and "mysterious" of all Trenchcoater. Unlike the other type, they almost never talk...or they talk like the Ninja from "Ask a Ninja"!

Zombie "Trenchcoating"

In the general sense of the word, some zombies may also be guilty of "trenchcoating," although this is less apparent than the survivor phenomenon due to the fact that a zombie's profile is only visible when it speaks, attacks, or otherwise performs an action. Zombie "trenchie" descriptions may include bloodstained t-shirts (the most prevalent; perhaps zombie trenchies should be dubbed "t-shirters"?), missing limbs or parts of the face (particularly the lower jawbone), exposed internal organs, and extreme states of tissue decay. It is not known, however, whether this extends to behavior as well as appearance. Zombie trenchcoaters do have an excuse however. Killing humans actually increases the zombie population.

Trenchcoater and social life

Trenchcoater and social life. The truth is never pretty

Some zombie groups, such as the Hambargar Halparz, and PKer groups such as The Malton Bounty Emo Killers, deliberately target trenchcoaters due to their un-originality. Trenchcoaters are also routinely mocked by other players for "trying too hard" - especially since many trenchcoaters are low-level characters. Of course, it is not very accommodating to make fun of trenchcoaters if they are inexperienced players.

Trenchcoater Wall of Shame

"Trenchspotters" are those who make an effort to spot, track and classify Trenchcoaters.
