History
It was never quite clear to him how exactly he wound up in a place called Terrenus, but he did. A majority of Zombzeh's memories are of an entirely different world, but there is really no telling he is right in the head or not. For all intents and purposes, these memories could have been a creative manifestation. It certainly wouldn't be the first, nor would it be the last. But alas! He was quite confused upon finding himself in this land, hovering over a recent kill. But God damn were those some tasty ribs!

Indeed, it ceased to matter how or why he was here--or if all of his memories were, in fact, falsehoods (though he still claims them as his birthdate, death date, and date or reanimation). All that truly mattered was exactly how good these people tasted. They were phenomenally better than what he remembered back in . . . wherever it was he imagined himself to have once lived! These people could sustain his hunger forever!

His history, beyond this, is unimportant. For all intents and purposes, it is a creative flash that he personally believes in, a glitch in the brain that occurred when he became conscious after his umpteenth time of eating a brain. He does, however, possess a great deal of intellect, and can actually hold conversations on par with a well learned professor. Most of the time, this does not matter, as his dealings with people are usually limited to his potential in eating them. So long as his hunger is sated, though, he is quite fond of intellectual conversation . . . and mischief.

Abilities
-- undead feast.
By devouring other living bodies, the user's own body is strengthened and the decomposition process is slowed.
-- dual wielding technique: ax/sword combination.
Users of this style of combat utilize a heavy ax-type weapon for powerful offensive blows, while using a smaller, lighter weapon in the other hand for the sake of mind-numbingly quick defensive strategies.
-- dual wielding technique: dagger/sword combination.
Offensively, a dagger-type is used to make quick, hard to parry blows. A light sword is used in the same technique as above.
-- dual wielding technique: katana/sheath combination.
Beginning with an iatoujutsu defensive, this style follows up with a full-out offensive with a katana (or any light weight blade, rather ) and its corresponding sheath.
-- reality distortion bass guitar.
With a particular discontinued brand of bass guitar, users may cause tremors and/or pseudo-telekinetic shockwaves.
-- acrobatic street fighting.
This unarmed style of combat revolves around bizarre, almost logically impossible acrobatics to deal the same damage as traditional weaponry.

Weapons
-- teeth; self explanatory. Somewhat sharper than the average zombie.
-- hands; self explanatory. Can mimic claws if need be.
-- feet; self explanatory.
-- bass guitar of injustice. Blunt force weapon that is wielded with the right (offensive) hand.
-- "paper" fan of justice; absurd item with the durability of tempered steel. Blunt force weapon that is wielded with the right (offensive) hand.
-- red scale katana. Blade weapon that is wielded with either the right (offensive) or left (defensive) hand.

The Bass Guitar of Injustice
This particular brand of bass guitar was constructed to amplify lower notes, but the additions to the instrument caused it to possess enough power for self-amplification. Not only did it destroy electronic amplifiers, but it caused physical damage within the bodies of unskilled musicians that attempted to play it. Skilled bassists can use this to his or her advantage by altering the direction of reverberation within the body of the guitar and playing an excess of notes to cause environmental damage.

It is used by this particular wielder when he, "feels the need to be a douche," as he is quoted in saying.

The "Paper" Fan of Justice
Although the current wielder states that it is a paper fan, this weapon is actually a steel fan. He states that naming it a steel fan is, "emasculating and much less funny."

It is used by this particular wielder when he, "feels spiffily benevolent," as he is also quoted in saying.

Physical status
-- Vitality: obscene.
Although this individual is undead, he has devoured enough living beings to grant his body superhuman durability. If there is any one attribute which he excels in, it is the ability to take extremely powerful blows and emerge with minimal damage.
-- Strength: considerably strong.
His physical strength grants him the ability to wield a bass guitar with speed just shy of katana swipes, tear through flesh with minimal resistance, and break reinforced brick without difficulty.
-- Agility: well below average.
In terms of running, he can. In fact, he can sprint faster than the average sprinter--however, his sprinting time is a burst of only ten to fifteen seconds, must be physically prepared, and creates excess wear-and-tear on his body if used in succession. When not sprinting, the average human man can easily outrun him. His joints are as superhumanly developed as the rest of his body, subsequently allowing him limber and acrobatic movements, but his running speed is still significantly dampened.
-- Intelligence: above average.
This is the entire purpose for hunting cranial innards. Not only does he think consciously, but his perceptive qualities are well above average.
