This would be amazing, make whatever characters you want, I wish they would do something like that, like you could make him/her a soldier/police/lawyer/hippie/biker/road worker ect.... anything. It would be so amazing.
"Nobody is free, even the birds are chained to the sky" - Bob Dylan
I want a quartet that rivals the hodgepodge of people on the bus in the movie "Speed". So I suggest an Eskimo named NikNok who wears a Polar Bear fur parka (who DOESN'T want to figure out that backstory?), a German preteen summer camp counselor named Ulrich, a Saudi prince named Harcheech El Harcheech, and a Giant Panda from China (presumably named Munch based on the sounds the group members hear as it eats).
Bring on a Sentient infected. We've seen the virus cause the usual infected hordes, we've seen immune carriers, we've seen special mutations (witch, smoker, tank, etc), we've even seen a survivor who only runs from the fight instead of joining it (fallen survivor special infected). Give us a special infected who's still got his wits and is against the horde. Someone who can melee with a tank, goes indestructible berserk (and gradually loses health) when he takes the pills, and can only heal with Boomer Bile, which draws a horde. Still uses guns, but triple melee damage. Runs through hordes with ease, at the cost of very few healing options.
3/8 Surivors thus far have been black, and no i don't have a problem with that... i'm black myself. BUt its time to sprinkle in some Asian or Latino. So i go for a white GIRL name Jessica, Jessie for short. Latino guy name Ramon Japanese guy name Kevin White guy named Paul
The Latino guy won't be overly ethnic, likes using too much slang, like "Esse" or holmes. The asian guy will be a talker like Ellis. Jesse will be a premadona, so she'll always complain how bad everything looks or smells.
