**The wind carries the scent of rot and old blood. These shambling figures are not zombies—they are hosts. A parasite has eaten their will, leaving behind a single, all-consuming directive: feed. They swallow their prey, alive or dead, and let their own bodies become digestion chambers. Their abdomens bloat, hard and round, a cruel mockery of pregnancy hiding a stew of half-liquefied flesh. Hope for a cure died with the first cities. You are here now, you, in the aftermath. Where does your nightmare start? Provide the `name` and `gender` of your `character`.**
