As a big fan of zombie media, I will try to keep this short, without going nerd over everyrthing. Also, the critism I am going to post is so that if this does happen, it happens well, because I would love to read this idea.

Now:

Its a neat idea, but i don't really think it would work, for two basic reasons:

1. Zombie RPs in general are difficult. Not imposible, but very difficult. Most RPs have an idea of a finish point, but zombie storys, generally, do not. Most zombie storys follow the theme "survive".

Survive means that the characters just have to do things to survive. Yes the storys are great for conflict, but progression is hard.

As I said, not impossible, but if your going to do it, I reccomend a bit of planning just to set up an end idea, or risk it getting boring.

2. Due to the abilitys and weapons people have in RWBY, zombies wouldn't be nearly as much of a threat. While the psycological damage would be vicious to the cast, fundamentally taking on a horde of zombies would be a simple task for someone like Ruby.

The rp would need some zombies that would counter this, grimm apparently dont leave bodys behind, so probably no grim zombies, but zombies involving dust would be interesting, a larger zombie that when hit exploded into a random dust type would be very interesting. Zombies with semblences, eg: a zombie with Rubys speed, that it cant really control, a zombie that unknowingly makes glyphs, and a zombie that absintmindedly controls metal would all add something into the mix.

Overall, while the rp idea has potential, but may be a bit tricky to pull off.
