R: Pr (4)
I: Typ (6)
P: Typ (6)

Health: 36
Karma: 16
Popularity: -5 (Not personally, as a zombie)
Resources: Fe (2)

Talents:
Theoretically none, but Big Daddy displayed elements of:
Auto-mechanics (From previous life, in so far as to understand how to light a fire, use tools, and understand what gas is)
Leadership*: (Theoretically)

Powers:
Undead Zombie State: Big Daddy is a zombie, and as such, does not need to technically eat, sleep, breath, or any biological function. Big Daddy cannot be stunned, although he can suffer slams, and cannot be killed through Kill results, but only by reducing his health and Endurance to 0.

As a product of the infection, Big Daddy's decomposition rate is far slower than that of a normal corpse. As stated in the movie, it has been three years since the infection, and several of the zombies still look relatively 'fresh' despite being deceased for some time. Big Daddy is not a typical zombie, as most zombies do not have his ability to reason, awareness, or willpower.

Romero Zombies possess the following characteristics:
  • Immunity: Romero Zombies are immune from normal pain or conditions that would warrant a stun. As a product of their being undead, they cannot speak, but can utter grunts, growls, and moans despite their inability to breathe.
  • Limited Mobility: Romero Zombies can move only one area per round, and cannot 'sprint' nor can they dodge area affect attacks. Romero Zombies do not run.
  • Drive: Romero Zombies, like Big Daddy, are driven by the need to eat, and will eat anything living, from animals to preference of people. The bite of a Romero Zombie is considered toxic, and no living creature has survived more than 12 hours after being bitten.
  • Zombification: Romero Zombies spread due to bite. If a victim is bitten, they will have 1 - 12 hours based on Endurance before they 'turn'. A person could avoid being turned only if the bite was on a limb, and the limb was imediately severed. A Endurance FEAT would be necessary to ensure the infection did not spread after the amputation, as sometimes amputation is not quick enough.
  • Communication: As seen with the movie, BIg Daddy and other zombies have begun a limited form of communication through gutteral sounds, and can coordinate to a limited level. The communication chain is significant, and spreads zombie to zombie, thus 'chaining' large groups of zombies together.

Contacts:
None, although technically you could say the zombie horde.

Limitations:
  • Zombie: Big Daddy is obviously a zombie, and as such, is unable to hide (or understand to hide) his condition
  • Rage: Big Daddy understand rage, especially at seeing what was done to other zombies.
