Slashers are a breed of undead, the nature of which can affect both humans and animals. They are not zombies in the Romero-esque sense, as they are not necessarily flesh-eaters, though they certainly can be if one feels so inclined. They also differentiate from classic zombies in that they maintain at least some measure of intellect, though it is often governed by anger, pain, and a thirst to avenge themselves against the world. The means by how one becomes a slasher is unclear, though the act of dying does seem to be a prerequisite - at least for some. The term "slasher" was attributed to these monsters by Cassie Hack. Classically however, "slasher" has always been used to describe some masked maniac with a bladed weapon, hacking up unsuspecting teens at a campground or in some suburban neighborhood in Anytown, USA. Cassie Hack, who always felt like something of a monster on the inside herself, has dedicated her life towards hunting down and destroying Slashers wherever they appear. She is accompanied by her gentle giant partner, Vlad, who is a deformed man who gives the appearance of being a slasher, but is in fact human. The first Slasher that Cassie ever encountered was actually her own mother - dubbed "The Lunch Lady" due to her profession as a cook at Cassie's high school.
