scar’s head of security accomplished more in his life by the time he was ten, then most people do their entire lives. when he was eight, he was able to build his own computer and by eighteen, he had already received his doctorate degree in computer science. for him, the thrill of hacking was better than finding a steady job. one corporation offered him a great deal of money to hack into scar’s computer system. though he got further than most people, they were still able to shut him down and find out who he was. luckily, instead of killing him, scar offered him a job. during the infection, he was bit in the initial chaos. his blood adapted and with the head scientist sneaking him cures, no one knows. now he mostly keeps himself locked up in the surveillance rooms, monitoring the cameras. occasionally, he goes into the field to keep communication and provide security

with all the media bullshit, very few people actually venture to write news that really matters. however, this news reporter is honestly looking for the truth. considered a pioneer in her field, she wasn’t afraid to rise above the constant criticism and write award-winning articles. it was the thirst to constantly know everything that landed her right in the middle of the infection though. while everyone else was evacuating the city, she was heading the opposite way, trying to answer the how and whys behind the infection. equipped with only a small camera crew and an assistant, she headed straight into the city. little did she know, that all she was doing was bringing food for the infected. not only was her entire group turned, but so was she. out of the group, she was the only one who didn’t become feral. while she knows she’s infected, she’s trying to figure out why she hasn’t changed like the others.

even in high school, he was considered one of the best running backs in the nation. all eyes were on him and it was no surprise that right out of college, teams were tripping over themselves in order to recruit him. for any twenty-two year old, a multimillion dollar deal is a reason to party. that’s exactly what he did. after being signed, there wasn’t a single party in the town that wasn’t getting crashed by the athlete. a few days into preseason, he’d already been arrested on a drunk and disorderly and hit with an assault charge. the decision to allow him to keep his position on the team was being debated. before any of this could destroy his entire career before it started, the infection hit and destroyed everyone else’s life. as he was leaving a bar, he was bitten by what he thought was a rabid fan. little did he know, that he was infected. now that everyone is either gone or infected, he’s living in the city by himself.

if there is a hell, the infection is the apocalypse. however, it doesn’t seem all the servants of god are being rewarded with heaven. then again, preachers that steal from the church or hire prostitutes on their off days can be considered the first in line to get in those pearly white gates. on the other hand, karma seems to being doing its job. the preacher was infected, not only by a single bite, but mauled by a group. he spent months locked up in the church, healing from the injuries. it was quite clear when he wasn’t turned that he was doomed. searching for ‘redemption’ from god, he now offers his church as a safe haven for survivors and helps them find the power of christ. of course, in order to stay, a bribe in the form of cures doesn't hurt.
