The following information details a short personal history for each of the four Survivors, before a brief study (including strengths and weaknesses) of all the different, hideous, baying, grotesques known as the Infected.
Coach
Coach has a big heart, a positive attitude, and a wicked swing with a chainsaw. After a knee injury ended his career as a defensive lineman in college, Coach salvaged his degree - barely - and landed a job teaching health at the local high school in his hometown of Savannah.
Working as a defensive coordinator for the freshmen team might not be the best first step to landing a pro coaching career, but it’s come in pretty handy in guiding a group of Survivors to safety.
Ellis
Ellis is a mechanic with a love of life, a firm belief in his own immortality, and the ability to treat any setback as a fun dare to impress his friends.
Born and raised in Savannah, Ellis divvies up his time working at the local garage, hanging out with his buddies, and dropping by for Sunday dinners with Mom - why would anybody want to live anywhere else?
Then the zombies had to go and spoil it. Now Ellis is looking for new things to occupy his time, and finding plenty. It turns out the zombie apocalypse is one big dare, and there’s no shortage of crazy stuff he can try to impress his new buddies.
Nick
A lifetime of drifting from city to city, finding back-alley card games, and trying to stay out of jail has taught Nick two valuable lessons: Don’t trust nobody, and look out for number one.
He had come down to Savannah looking for some gullible fish on the riverboat gambling cruises.
Instead he found a city about to be engulfed by infection and three new friends he’s going to have to learn to trust if he wants to survive.
Rochelle
A take-control, no-nonsense personality, Rochelle is eager for life to get back to normal, but realistic enough to know that might not be any time soon.
As a low-level associate producer for a big-name news station, Rochelle’s job mostly consisted of lugging cables and fetching coffee.
But when the outbreak hit and staff started calling in sick, Rochelle got her break: producing a segment from Savannah about the evacuation center located there.
She was still setting up the cameras when her big story became a war zone. But she’s not letting go of her dream job.
Surviving a zombie apocalypse is just something else that she can use her wits and drive to produce the hell out of.
