This story can still work.. But it's the REAL characters.. Except Zoey, they didn't meet Zoey. They instead meet Dash.. Not Carly, Dash.. Dash is better. Bill could fill her need for a father.. Dispite Bill being kinda "crazy" in some levels.

Francis is my favorite in game character.. But in terms of actual characterism, espically in the comic.. It's Bill who's the best..


BACKSTORIES:


WILLIAM "BILL" OVERBECK:

Bill served two tours of duty in the Vietnam War. U.S. Special Forces involvement in the war that ended in 1975. Sometime during the war he suffered a knee injury as a result of shrapnel boring into his knee, causing permanent damage. Two days after the first Infection, Bill was at a veteran's hospital waiting for an operation, possibly relating to his knee injury. When a resident staff attempts to make small talk in regards to Bill's missing family along with his smoking habits, Bill tells him to go practice somewhere else.

As he undergoes anesthesia and slowly blacks out for the surgery, one of the nurses becomes an Infected and kills the operation room staff. Bill somehow staves off his oncoming unconsciousness through sheer force of will as he simultaneously fights off the Infected nurse, disabling her momentarily. Finding a bonesaw and a knife to defend himself with, Bill fights the sudden rise of Infected outside the hospital to make it back home, where he equips his old military clothing which had been put away for safekeeping.


FRANCIS:

Francis attempted to steal a flat-screen television two days after first Infection. When he is caught, his claim that he is a cop gathering evidence for a crime is not taken seriously. He is next shown in a bar boasting to his friends about why he is going to jail. When one of his friends reveals to him that Pennsylvania jails do not allow conjugal visits, Francis' presumed girlfriend Sandra then says "better not waste anymore time" and grabs Francis' arm and pulls him into the bar's back room. Francis and Sandra begin kissing in the back room when she gets sick on his vest. He almost leaves, but she convinces him to stay but soon after she attack him only to be killed by Duke, who explains about the zombies when Francis is angry at him for killing her.

Francis realizes the possibilities of the lawlessness the outbreak has brought, and has Duke and Danny lug a jukebox to the roof where he grabs a shotgun to begin picking off Infected one by one with Duke, Danny and a few other barmates. Francis treating it like a video game.

It is unknown what had happened to Duke and Danny, but it's assumed they died. Francis himself admits they weren't capable survivors.


LOUIS:

Before the Infection, Louis was working as the Junior Systems Analyst at Franklin Brothers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During his lunch breaks, he would often visit the shooting range which his co-workers would mock him for doing so. It can also be assumed he also played video games as he has a figurine of the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 on his desk and mentions Counter-Strike when picking up a gun, and makes various references to Half-Life as well as grieving over the lack of an Xbox on the island on the Keys. Two days after the Infection began, he encountered his first Infected in the men's restroom after trying to convince a co-worker that the press was overreacting and everything was still safe. After killing the Infected, he exited the restroom only to find his office in shambles, his co-workers all dead, and the outside world falling to pieces.


Bill, shortly after his above events, finds and saves Dash from a small horde and they quickly befriend. Dash saying she was driving Los Santos, which isn't far from Pennsylvania. When she got distracted by the sight of a zombie and crashed.

Bill explained what he knew about the GREEN FLU.. Which assumably hasn't effected Los Santos. Saying it caused rabies, and other zombie like symptoms.

"So.. Zombies huh?" Dash said.

"Something like that" Bill said.
