Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Apocalypse

context

Plants vs. Zombies is a tower defense video game franchise originally from PopCap and for PC, released in 2010 and which experienced a boom in popularity. Years later, EA bought PopCap and consequently the rights to PvZ, and it's a goldmine, so more games were developed such as Garden Warfare 1 and 2, and later Plants vs. Zombies 2.

History

We are set in the events of Garden Warfare 1, but the zombies achieved their goal and wiped out every existing human. The plants can barely survive as supplies are running out and there's no way for them to replenish them. In short, discord and misunderstandings caused the plants to begin hating each other and trusting only their own species. They divided into four large groups: the northern group, made up of common sunflowers; the western group, made up of carnivorous plants; and the eastern group, made up of Peashooters. The southern group was cruelly murdered and consumed by the zombies, so there's no point in talking about them anymore.

Girasol (Sunflower)

General Appearance: Her head is a classic sunflower flower, large and slightly triangular. The petals are bright yellow, well-defined, and form a complete circle around her face. She has a very expressive and friendly face right in the center of the flower. Her eyes are large, black, and bright, with small pupils that give her a lively and cheerful appearance. She has a small mouth that is usually smiling, reinforcing her sweet and positive personality. Her body is a thin, somewhat curved green stem that acts as her torso and legs. There is no clear separation between the trunk and limbs; everything is one continuous shape. Her arms are also green, like flexible stems, and end in small, underdeveloped leaves or flowers that act as hands, although they are not functional. She has a few leaves on her stem that give more volume and life to her design. Her entire shape conveys the idea of ​​solar energy, vitality, and support. Her appearance has a cartoonish vibe, very much in the PopCap style, with bright colors and a finish that mixes the cute with the dynamic. Abilities: This plant is more focused on support, since its abilities are mainly healing. The healing beam connects from its 'hand' to the nearest plant and through sunlight, it will begin to heal itself and also the ally connected to its beam. Its second ability is to place a small pot with a flower that generates small suns every so often, these suns despite being small can regenerate 50% of a plant's health. Finally, it is armed with a devastating and deadly solar beam for zombies, since it can do large amounts of damage and incinerate them, the disadvantage of this is that it has to deploy roots in the ground to be able to use the beam, leaving it vulnerable and unable to move until it comes out itself. The sunflower in charge of the North group is Sunny, a common sunflower full of love for others.

Peashooter

General Appearance: It has a large, rounded, lime-green head that extends forward in the shape of a cannon, as if it were... A fucking cannon. This "mouth" is where it shoots the peas, and is hollow inside, always open. On the sides of its head, near the snout, it has two large, oval, and expressive eyes. They are completely black with a small white glow that gives it life. Its stem is more compact than that of the sunflower. Its central stem is short and thick, also green, and connects directly to the head. On each side, it has a thin tendril that ends in a pea pod that functions as an arm. They are not hands with fingers, but they use them as if they were. It has a base in the form of four large leaves that cover four small but agile roots that simulate legs or feet. These leaves emerge from the main stem and the stem's root tips and give stability to the pea shooter. When it moves, it does so with occasional small jumps to maintain balance. It is completely green, although the tone can vary in parts, lighter in the head, darker in the stem and leaves. Abilities: His main ability is to shoot large peas from his mouth capable of decapitating a zombie without a good shot to the head. His first ability is to shoot a large bean that can attract zombies to attack him and subsequently explode violently, destroying nearby zombies. His second ability would be to increase his physical capabilities, since when activating this ability his movement speed increases by x2 and his jump increases by x3, but the base damage of his shot remains the same. His last ability is the pea machine gun: in this form he has to drop roots on the ground like the sunflower, only this time 4 rifle nozzles come out of his mouth and a soldier helmet comes out of his back which he then puts on his head. The Peashooter in charge of the East group is called "PEA" or simply Mark

Carnivore (Chomper)

Appearance: It has a round head, eyeless and purple in color, with small dark purple spots on top. It has a huge mouth full of extremely sharp teeth and a long, tentacle-like tongue, dark pink with a sharp tip. On its head, it has a row of six medium-sized metallic spikes and a thick, spiny pale purple stem, as well as four large leaves at the base of the stem that cover four short, thin roots that act as functional legs. Ah, and they are blind in terms of normal vision, but they have such a highly developed echolocation system that it simulates common and efficient sight. Abilities: Its main attack is a bite that causes critical damage. If positioned behind the zombie, it can impale it with its sharp tongue and then easily consume it, but it takes a few seconds to chew and swallow it. It can spit a very viscous purple liquid to slow down and poison affected zombies. It can burrow into the ground to stealthily approach them, doubling its movement speed. Once under the target, it can bite it from below to easily engulf it. Its final ability is spitting a transparent liquid that causes a thornweed to bloom; this plant traps zombies and leaves them vulnerable so the carnivore can eat them. The leader of the West group is a somewhat old Carnivore named Ura. Curiosities: Carnivorous plants often exhibit dog-like behaviors, which deeply embarrasses them.

cultures

The fact that the plants are so far apart and don't want any contact with each other has led to the creation of cultures over time. Sunflowers: Sunflowers venerate the sun like a god, although this god doesn't have a specific name; they may refer to it as Quitzá or Quitzá, which means "Sun" or "Day" in the Nahuatl language. Peashooters: Peashooters don't have a culture as such, but they do have ranks. Depending on your performance on the battlefield, your reputation will rise, as will your territorial and mating rights. Carnivores: Carnivores and Chompers think food is everything: "you can't fight on an empty stomach," "when you're sad and depressed, eat something and forget about it," and things like that. The point is that food is everything to this species.

Zombies

Common zombies will be the main enemy and threat, as their speed but low resistance make them a weak but numerous foe. A particularity of the zombies is that they all wear a brown coat and a red tie, along with torn blue trousers and somewhat dirty but not completely filthy dress shoes, as the zombies maintain their shoes and are capable of washing clothes. They are zombies, but you will never see them dirty, at least not very much. These zombies may appear with a cone or a metal bucket on their heads, giving them extra armor; the cone provides intermediate protection, while the metal bucket offers strong armor. They may also appear with a portable toilet or a coffin covering them like a suit; the portable toilet and the coffin provide extra-strong resistance to gunfire and can prevent a Chomper bite.

Zombistein (Gargantuar)

It's a giant, muscular zombie with comically short legs compared to the musculature of its torso and arms. It carries a large wooden lamppost that it uses to crush plants, and a small zombie on its back that it throws when it reaches half health. It can use a quick attack with its left arm that does strong but not fatal damage; its second attack is to strike with the wooden post, dealing enormous damage in a small area. This zombie wears the same set of clothes as the common zombie and isn't as clean as them.

Mega-Zombistein (Giga-Gargantuar)

This mini-boss is a more powerful version of the common Zombistein, as it now carries a lamppost that can generate an electric ray used to attack plants from a distance. This Zombistein has the same repertoire of attacks against plants, only now it can throw three small zombies in a burst to strike along with the electric ray. It wears a designer outfit: a black leather jacket, a pair of sunglasses, vintage black trousers, and polished shoes. It takes care of its clothes, maintaining them as if they were its children, as its image to others is everything to it.
