In this world, a sudden Zombie apocalypse shaked everyones lifes, forcing them to close down their little city and defending themselves the best they could! A ray of hope brightened their lifes when they found it, the first Plant.
They quickly surrounded themselves with these strange criatures that they grew attached to, finding they made good pets/friends besides protecting them. They required a special care however, and this is how the Gardeners came to be.
The Gardeners are people who dedicate their life to taking care of the plants, most of them focus on one species of plant.
We have:
John, who takes care of the most normal kind of plants. (peashooters, wallnuts, squash, things like that.)
Gregor, who takes care of the water plants (Lilypads and and tangle kelps, mostly.)
Candy dealer, who takes care of the mushrooms (CUZ ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY AND IT FITS WELL- uh, ahem. He takes care of plants like the puff-shroom, fume-shroom and scaredy-shroom.)
Jaune, who takes care of sunflowers, twin sunflowers and sunshrooms (she makes sure that all the plants are healthy and have lots of sun,the sun in this au is kind of both food and money, but just the plant sun cuz the SUN sun its still just there)
AND Rick who grows upgrade plants, he sells them, since only he and streber know how to grow them he takes ADVANTAGE of it. hes smart like that. (Upgrade plants are like gatling pea, twin sunflower, cattail, frozen melon, etc..)
These guys are one of the most important people in the colony, so they often get bodyguard plants (body guard plants are plants that are capable of moving, like in PVZGW) they are also the firsts to escape if anything bad happens since not everyone can be a gardener. Radford is in training for this, helping John to take care of plants.
Theres also The Scavengers, they go out of the colony (that is all closed from the rest of the world with a wall, not a very sturdy one so they get zombies inside often) and just gather stuff like medicine, survivors, or new plants.
Frank, the leader. His van has been of great help with transporting from one side to other.
Fat and Thin thief, who serve of assistance and are usually the ones to attack in case anything happens.
And Costume guy, who is. there. complaining.
Aaron sometimes joins them, but its something that dosnt happen often. He tends to take the leader position whenever he goes along.
Scavengers use mostly instant kill plants instead of the normal plants, this is because its easier to kill a bunch of zombies at once instead of planning, preparing and taking other plants and strategies with them.
Then The Fighters, they are the ones that take the role of the player. They use the plants and make sure everyone is safe, second highest rank in their little society. Fighters need to be smart enough to know what to do, and also be quick to think.
Dexter and Streber, they team up at night to protect the colony while everyone else is asleep, using mostly mushrooms to attack.
Aaron, he usually attacks from far away or in the roofs, using mostly catapults.
Jack, he uses pretty common plants and takes most of the day time.
Ignacio makes sure all water surrounding or in the colony are zombie free, so you will see him walking around a lot.
The hatzgang is in training, sometimes joining any other fighter character while they try to help.
Then theres The Nurses, they are just nurses!
Mort and Michelle, Lucky is in training.
Kevin and Actress take care of the kids, they are Babysitters. I thought it would be funny to make them run around everywhere trying to avoid skid n pump from getting into trouble! they take care of skid, pump, lucky and radford's sister.
Then theres The Cooks, Mr Wonder, Actor and Bob. They make sure the colony is well fed at all times.
There are more jobs, but these are very specific to one character so i will talk about them when i post refs.
Thanks for reading!
