Zombie Apocalypse (Who will you be)
So my friend and I were joking about a zombie apocalypse tomorrow and what type of person we'd be based on the characters in this game, and also who our other friends would be.
Turns out I'm "Mark". I'll seem useful and try to help out anyway I can, but my trusting nature will get me killed when we run into another group of survivors. My friend was the "Duck" character who goofs around a lot which annoys a lot of us in this tense situation, who then because of our group's "Ben" who is a clumsy fool who usually does more harm then good, gets him bit.
So out of your main group of friends, what character role applies to you the most?
Edit: Gender doesn't matter, it's more about what the character does in the game and their personality.

I know this a little bit off-topic (sorry!) but I've recently been having fantasies about The Walking Dead too. I've been having these back-to-back dreams (I love those dreams) where the setting is a sequel to another Telltale-esque The Walking Dead game. The playable character wasn't actually me and I got to make decisions similar to the Telltale game. I was, however, a NPC who's role is to be somewhat like a leader. My character really believed in the preservation of humanity and the goodness of others. This would later lead my character to making naive decisions, e.g. I tried to communicate with a group of bandits which would lead us to losing our camp and two of our group members. I was seen as a weak and naive leader by most other characters but was also nice and loyal. Later in the game you get to chose who would lead the group. The other character, whom our group met later, was Cam, he's a dick but is considered a stronger leader due to his belief that survival is more important than humanity. You get to chose who you want to back up leading to a meat locker-esque decision where another group member, Taylor (her along with another character were our resident farmers of sorts), gets trapped in a house with a lot of walkers surrounding it. You could either back up Cam who believes saving her would result in more casualties and that she'd want us to leave her, or me who wanted to save her for we'd be no better then those monsters if we left her. My character gets left behind following a walker raid on our main base regardless, though.
I honestly really love those kinds of dreams / having conversations about zombie apocalypse. Such a cool genre!
Maybe a Ben. I think that's why I like Ben actually, he pretty much is exactly how I imagine 90% of people would be in a Zombie Apocalypse, probably myself included. Well-meaning but scared to shit and completely useless.
Minus the Looney Tunes-esque removal of the axe blocking the door antics, of course.
I'd probably end up in the middle of people a lot, trying to keep the peace. I'd watch out for those close to me the most, but also do as much as I could for everyone else.
I sure as hell couldn't
Seems like a cop out to pick the main character, so all around if I could pick a character I was most like it would be Glenn from all forms of The Walking Dead media (except for the show where he is much more physically adept than the game/comic). Someone who would probably be on the sidelines, but be an active part of the group. Never have any aspirations of leadership or make any of the tough life or death decisions, but still willing to take risks for the good of the group.
Plus I'm out of shape, possess no survival skills, and don't even have much food in the house.
W.....what?
Clearly, the only possible way to construe the phrase "I'm out of shape" is to mean that he's 600 lbs. and has a huge cookie stockpile, right?
I don't think I'll make it very long when the zombies come. I'm smart and I wouldn't shy away from braining one of them, but a lack of athleticism of any kind is gonna get me eaten post haste.
Well, if we're talking Walking Dead zombies, you don't need to be able to run far to escape them, since they only walk(poorly). They're dumb as bricks, so being smart could probably make up for any shortcomings in physical prowess. It probably wouldn't take much to outsmart them anyway(In episode one, they all abandon the fence after hearing a few gunshots).
At 6'6" and 300lbs I think I'd be a pretty dang intimidating sight as well, both alive and as zombie!
But my friends say I'd be a bit of Ben, a bit of Clementine, and a bit of Carley. Because if I was told that bandits had my friends and that I could get them back if I gave them supplies, I'd give them the supplies. Apparently, I'm also quite brave, which I guess the Clementine part is, I'd insist on going to Crawford and I'd climb through the windows etc.
And I guess I'm pretty good with aiming ranged weapons, so I suppose that's where the "Carley" came from.
But overall, I'd say I'm Mark, and my friends say I'm mostly Carley.
On second thoughts, I'd be either Christa or Omid.
Like Christa, I'm quite mature and usually don't appreciate jokes in tense situations, but like Omid I'm quite brave and will jump into things without looking, I'm not completely weak but not the Hulk either, and I can be pretty witty.
Or Shawn, since I see Mark and Shawn as very similar characters.
But I'd like to be Christa..She's cool.
I'm probably just useful in getting into small spaces =.=
Also, Omid too. I always try to make people smile and joke around, keep the mood light. >.>
