Character Stories. Will we be creating them?

[F-artmuncher]

And it comes with this text

Heroes Wanted...because you can never have too much help when it comes to defeating the zombie horde.

Do you think we might end up creating the story?

Doesn't matter, the origins storyline is a game made up by Samantha... Nothing in it's entire timeline is canon to the storyline Fallowed by nact. Verrućt, shi no Numa, der reise, kino, five, Assension, call of the dead, shangri la, moon, nuketown, tranzit, die rise, mob of the dead, or buried... It is seperate entirely...

That's kinda... weird. Even for Zombies. Looking at it, it looks like a Treyarch job ad (maybe for voice actors). I wouldn't pay too much attention to this, unless they release another character ad.

Well this is the second ad, after Tank's last week. I bet they will do all four.

I'm wondering if this is a lead up to something, since it seems kinda after the fact now that the map is out.

A 5th bonus zombies only DLC? Normally I wouldn't say that but these character ads make me think something else is up their sleeve.

What is this, it doesn't matter, crap people are saying all over now. Just because the story is a game by Sam doesn't mean that it isn't real. It's just as real as any story.

But is it RELEVANT to our story in any way?

Where is your evidence for this?

All the same characters are there - all the different items from years of Zombies are in Sam's room, their toy chest is a box with a question mark in "Zombiesland" (i.e Sam's head), Zombies are controlled by an all-powerful, disembodied girl's voice called "Samantha" - in the "real" world, Samantha controls the zombies (and her best friend, a boy called Eddie, controls the heroes - who are led by a guy called "Edward"...it's clear that the two are very closely linked - just no one knows how really, yet!

Honestly if i could take anything from this...and this is more so my wishes than anything...I would think that maybe considering its asking for recruitments other than the hero's we know to be on the map, I feel as though maybe it's saying that "we" specifically must help fight the zombie hoard, i.e. not a character they make...

In other words perhaps in the future of zombie games we will be able to create our own character using a more fleshed out version of the character creation mode that cod ghosts is implementing...Which to me would be sincerely EPIC...

The pictures reference the war propaganda featured in the US during WWI. It was extremely common to find ads and posters provoking people to join the war effort, most notably exploiting the horrific crimes the Germans committed in Belgium.

...Well what do ya' know, my 8th grade history class actually turned out to be USEFUL!
