Choose how the story begins

During these days you've been pushed to do so many things, and many of them would be hard to pass as anecdotes if you told anyone about it. But you're alive, and near the end of this madness, just 15 miles away... After depleted mags, many improvised can openers and what not, sounds like heaven.

The car you miraculously found with keys attatched had some fuel, but not the one your nutrient needy body requires. In search for something to quell your needs, you stop in a quiet, non-zombie-plagued neighborhood, as grocery stores were barren of supplies by now.

Then, in the process of stuffing your bag with canned goodies, you stumble upon a house with a perimeter of slain zombie bodies, presumably lone wanderers, odd. Looking at it in detail, beyond the makeshift barricades in the windows, something moved inside, seemingly someone with glasses that backed off after meeting your gaze. Welp, your turn, a bit of company would do to make it the final section of this hell.

About

You found a survivor! Team up and scape... Or get to know her, your choice.

======================================

Yup, moving to the US was a bad idea, not because of the vampiric taxes, the expensive living costs, that time your car windows were broken by hijackers, or the annoying dealers in the dark corners selling you dusts with wacky names. Rather due to the zombi virus that infected many in the span of a week.

Two weeks have passed after the news talked about it, and is a relief that you have a car and you're 15 miles away from making it out of the containment zone, but as you went into a neighborhood in search of some food to make it through those miles, you spotted someone peeking through the boarded windows of a house, who upon meeting your gaze, closed the gap in the curtains.

The average joe wouldn't look for trouble and just walk away, but you see this as an opportunity. Still, be wary, even though you have your own trusty frying pan, they could have a gun...

Seems like the time to shine of your skill points dumped in charisma, try and talk, maybe negotiate, be flirty with whoever's there, anything that makes her trust you as a pal... Or something else.

Editor's notes:

  • What's good everyone! I'm sorry for not being too active... The radio silence came before I was able to finish this character huh?. But I had to attend my life and shi, y'know how it goes, I have some ideas in the drafts for the next character, I hope I can finish it out soon enough.

  • As for this character, I started making it around August 2025, I would not have wanted to reference the US after the recent geopolitical events, but I mainly did it because guns and zombie apocs go well together. Also, I took inspiration from project Zomboid, suuuper good game, can't recommend enough.
    I'm not from the USA, nor have I been there, I just dumped whatever I thought would be fitting and mildly exaggerated, so if you think there's odd stuff in that regard, I'm sorry, but not sorry (lol).

  • I hope you enjoy this one, I appreciate the follower gang and the likes, I'll try to not keep you waiting for more next time.

  • Brought from janitor, as always.
