After signing up to Urban Dead your new character will be placed someowhere inside the city. Exactly where will be randomised, but will be based on a number of criteria, defined by the character class chosen.

NecroTech Lab Assistant

NecroTech Assitants appear to always spawn in locations following the following Criteria

  • Repaired
  • Powered
  • Has a Barricade Level no higher than Very Strongly Barricaded.


Note

As the main focus of most zombie attacks, Most NecroTechs will have barricade levels much higher than this. At any time within Malton there may only be a handful of locations new Necrotech Assistants may begin from.


You'd been working for NecroTech for a few months, before the disturbances began and the government quaratined the city. Several NecroTech labs were kept open under military guard during the evacuation, including the building you've been working in.

The decision was eventually made to relocate research operations to outside the quarantine zone. You remained in your building during the first weeks of evacuation, as part of the skeleton staff, but the military trucks eventually stopped coming to <Suburb>. The last memo from NecroTech headquarters said that all remaining staff were expected to monitor the situation from the inside of the quarantine zone until further notice.

Doctor

Doctors appear to always spawn in locations following the same criteria

  • Repaired
  • Powered
  • Has a Barricade Level no higher than Very Strongly Barricaded.

Ths is reflected in your welcome message.


You'd been working at <Hospital Name> in <Suburb> during the quarantine, treating some of the victims of the recent spate of violent assaults, but dealing with the injuries of panic and hysteria as much as anything else.

The hospitals were closed down during the very final stages of the quarantine operation, and whether you missed the final evacuation truck or it simply didn't arrive, you ended up stuck here. You've been treating the survivors who've passed through, working with backup generators when the power went, but with the situation getting worse on the streets, you begin to wonder if you'd be better off elsewhere.

Consumer

Consumers appear to always spawn in locations following the same criteria

  • Any single block building that is;
  • Repaired
  • Has a generator
  • Has a Barricade Level no higher than Very Strongly Barricaded.

Placement seems much more random than other classes, and this is reflected in your welcome message.


You were among the last to be evacuated from the city. Following the government broadcasts to the letter, you sat through the first week of quarantine at home, your doors and windows locked and sealed with duct tape. You were eventually collected by a military troop transport, along with your neighbours.

But you didn't make it out of the city - the truck met gunfire in <Suburb>, and became trapped in the wreckage of the roads; your military escorts rushed you to the safety of a nearby building, but they haven't come back, and the gunfire died down a while ago. With only your phone and the <MELEE WEAPON> that you grabbed when you left your house, you prepare to take a look outside.
