Characters
So in series 2 we might see new characters so I wondering if you were given the chance by telltale to make a character for series 2 what would that character be like. Mention there name, age, gender, what they look like, personality, old occupation, family (dead or alive), friends (dead or alive), weapons, backstory and there thoughts and plans about the apocalypse. Would this character be based off yourself or someone complete different. This is character must be surviving on there own. Be creative and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Name: Spencer
Gender: Male
Age: Early to Mid 20's
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Former Occupation: Photographer
Appearance: 6 feet tall, medium build, black hair, checkered jacket, black jeans
Personality traits: Dutiful. Innocent natured, inquisitive and possibly nosy, passive and quiet unless spoken to, tends to be blunt at times, clever with technology and is proficient in several areas at the cost of poor social skills.
Weapon preferences: Had once used his camera as a swinging weapon for self-defence, otherwise prefers to shoot from afar with a handgun.
Backstory ideas: Was attacked in his photography studio the moment the walkers had emerged and was forced to trap himself with a group of survivors in a darkroom with little supplies and no other exit for days, hoping that the walkers would not be able to detect them. Spencer, not able to deal with the group's aggressive, intolerant, and domineering ways, decided to lock himself away into another darkroom as an outcast he was percieved as. Soon the walkers broke in and attacked the group while Spencer was asleep, and he woke up from the smell of blood from the walkers feasting on the group's corpses. Spencer studied the nature of the walkers before finding an opportunity to escape, and understood that he was only alive because he had kept quiet and hidden, while the group kept arguing at each other under stress. An opportunity had appeared, and Spencer took it, and was able to leave the studio entirely. He was at a loss once he looked outside, the walkers were roaming, corpses were scattered, and houses upon houses were barricaded. Spencer, not wanting another darkroom situation with people who did not trust others and did not think to stay hidden, decided to be on his way. He would be seen by other survivors as a vagrant, a loner, a freak, but Spencer did not care. He was still alive, unharmed, oblivious to the country's condition with the walker epidemic, and that was what mattered to him the most. All he does now is take pictures of the world as a newfound hobby to help pass the time, and to help keep him sane. So as long as he doesn't see survivors, a walker, or anything else that would seem dangerous, he was happy.
Well, that's that. It's not the most original idea in the world, but it was something to pass the time.
Name: Rachel
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Former Occupation: Collage student, work experience at car engineering, full time mum
Appearance: Long brown hair tied back, black jeans, blue jacket
Personality: Caring, smart, frustrated at times, selfless
Weapons: Good in combat using anything as a weapon, often uses a knife but uses a gun at times
Backstory: Rachel was 18 and in collage when she had her son Michael. Michael's father walked out on them leaving Rachel to raise him on her own. Her parents supported her and helped pay for her house. When the apocalypse began she made her house into base by blocking all the windows. But realised if she needed to keep Michael safe she couldn't there for to long after a walker almost managed to get in but was killed by a stranger. She tried to get to her parents by car but crashed and had to bash a walkers head in with a spanner to protect her son. (This story is really long so I'll have to shorten it but I am making a fan fiction about this character) Michael was bitten so she had to put him out of his misery but couldn't bring herself to do it so she was bitten on her arm but cut it off and survived. She still out there and has no plans for the future as she can't live without Michael.
Name: Daniel(Dan) Wilms
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Ethnicity: German & Hungarian American.
Former Occupation: Lieutenant of U.S Navy
Appearance: 6'3, large build, dark brown hair, and auburn eyes. Wears his desert-camo uniform, with a black hoodie underneath that he wears mostly to cover his head and neck. Also, his face is covered, mostly on the right side, by a mask made of dark cloth. It is later known he was attacked and was left with a large scar that traced all the way down his face, also hurting his eye-sight(He can still see). His right eye now has a yellowish hue to it.
Personality traits: Dutiful. Over-protective; non-friendly to outsiders; understanding; paranoid; adaptive; improviser; loyal to comrades; born leader. Slow with modern military technology, but otherwise smart. Would rather fail a mission than to lose a teammate.
Weapon preferences: Uses knives, swords, and his baretta. Can use all assortments of firearms, but prefers handguns. Mediocre tank-driver.
Backstory ideas: Was deployed overseas in Iraq when the apocalypse started, doing an undercover mission on some suspicious activity and tips from local rebel forces. His group ends up discovering an abandoned convoy, and stumbles upon walkers. Unknowingly, but finding something weird, watches them to discover their motives. Eventually, more walkers show up and attack, resulting in a casualty(bitten arm that gets removed by Wilms), and realizes these 'humans' are abnormal. Falls back on secondary objective to recover two prisoners, and then heads for extraction, losing a few soldiers along the way. After escaping and while heading home, is attacked by an injured soldier that turned, and (in story is how he got his scar, but could happen from another source instead). Heads home and is sent into the ranks that are trying to clear the walkers, but defects with his men, seeing the idea as suicide. Is hunted at first, but escapes unharmed, and they go into hiding.
Note: In story, Wilms and his team are immune to the virus due to not being exposed to the virus, and so explains Wilm's yellow eye, his scar, and his constantly occurring moments of sickness, because of a walker scratch that infected him, but he survived.
(The virus was spread by the water, which all need to survive. Wilms and the others were drinking old, bottled water. The virus died in the water after a certain amount of time, making it safe to drink again.)

Background Story: She was dubbed the most beautiful lady in the world. She also has a vampire boyfriend who loves him who also looks like Edward Cullen who is also very buff. She holds secret powers and is immune to the zombie virus. She is the last known hope for the world. Also her tears can revive someone.
I'll laugh if anyone takes this seriously.

Name: Thomas Raines
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Ethnicity: British and Irish American.
Former Occupation: Sergeant of U.S Navy
Appearance: 6'5, large build, dirty-blond hair, and blue eyes. Skin is fairly pale. Wears his desert-camo uniform, and always wears his helmet on missions and after the apocalypse starts(Considers it good luck). Small scars on his right arm from knife fights, and a burn mark on his neck from his childhood. Wears dark gloves, and has several tattoos to cover his arm scars. They've slightly bled over the years, making the scars slightly noticeable.
Personality traits: Loyal to a fault to his commander. Strict, cold-hearted to many, and slightly annoyed by newcomers. He is not afraid to speak out, although he rarely does. Despite his harsh first-appearance, he is very protective about those he cares about, and shows a great level of compassion to the few he grows close to. He is a little paranoid from his time in service, and he is known to be well-suited in tough situations. Has saved several of his teammates/helped them recover from injuries, and so is joked as a 'Teddy-bear' despite his size. Despises flying.
Weapon preferences: Prefers rifles, mainly semi-automatic, and is often seen carrying his M14. For melee, was always good with knives, but also uses a brass pole for it's durability.
Backstory ideas: Was alongside Wilms, under his command when hell broke loose. Served as one of his higher-ups when the walkers began to surface, and helps lead in Wilm's place when he is gone. He is the highest ranking soldier besides Lieutenant Easterling, and so gains much respect amongst his comrades and the civilians they meet once they make it home. He ends up being one of the main contributors to the base they set up in an old high school, and helps manage it after more and more people find refuge there. When Wilms receives a distress call from other survivors, he is one of the first to volunteer to aid, and they leave the base to help the other struggling humans. (Other parts are added, but non-relevant to this at all)

Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Former Occupation: Police Officer, but was fired for discipline problems and alcoholism.
Appearance: Messy brown hair, average build, some stubble on his chin, and brown eyes. Kept his badge from his time as a police officer, and keeps it in his wallet.
Personality Traits: Sarcastic nearly all the time, especially when nervous. Suffers from depression after being fired, and has problems with authority. Disobeys orders if he thinks he knows a better way, unless he can be convinced otherwise. May show signs of cowardice due to a near-death experience in the past.
Family:One older sister, named Mara. Missing at the outset of the apocalypse.
Friends: Eugene, his former partner from his time as a cop. Handy with a gun and loyal to Jack, he is the only person Jack truly trusts.
Weapons: Uses a hatchet he found in a shed, and his police revolver which he kept along with his badge.
Backstory: Having served a few years on the force, a combination of a few shootouts, drug busts, and car chases all but assured Jack Harper he was invincible. When he and Eugene, responded to a robbery at a liquor store, yet again disobeying orders to hold off until more was known about the situation, Jack was shot twice by the trigger happy perpetrator and left to die in the street until Eugene got him to a hospital. His illusions of invulnerability shattered, he became depressed and resorted to alcoholism, both of which along with his insubordination eventually led to his being fired. His sister, Mara, tried to help him through the tough time in his life but his alcoholism caused him to push her away and she finally gave up on him. Unable to find another job, he was less than a month away from losing his apartment when the world ended. Going back home after another failed job interview, he was attacked by a strange, pale man. Fighting him of, Jack hurried home only to be greeted by his partner, Eugene waiting for him at his door. Eugene, informing him of the "crazies" who had attacked the police department, clued Jack in that whatever was happening was bigger than some random sidewalk assault. Grabbing his revolver from his apartment and whatever essentials he could carry, eh and Eugene fled town in their old police car and made for a Safe Zone site in Haleck County, coincidentally also where Mara lived, a few hours away. They lost their car a few hours after setting out due to engine problems and began the long trek by foot. Impeded by large groups of walkers, trigger happy survivors, cold, unfeeling military road blocks, and a lack of adequate food supplies, they finally reached their breaking point. Confronted one morning, around 3 weeks after the onset of the apocalypse, in the woods by a group of bandits, the two were determined to not let themselves be pushed around. Opening fire, they killed two of their assailants quickly, but more bandits opened fire from the bushes. Jack was shot again, and crumpled to the ground in pain as nearby walkers arrived at the firefight. Unable to help, Eugene still tried t save his friend. It wasn't long before his heroic attempts proved to be in vain, as he was shot several times and collapsed. By then, the bandits had been wiped out by a combination of Jack and Eugene's accurate gunfire and the scores of walkers that were attracted to the sound. Sensing that the two former partners were still alive, they were beset by corpses as well, Jack managed to stagger away, wounded, only by the fact that the walkers had reached Eugene and had begun eating him first. Once again, with notions of invincibility shattered and all alone, Jack Harper's only goal is to reach Haleck County no matter the cost, and find his sister.
