The zombie apocalypse

Five years ago, a global pandemic erupted, turning humans into zombies who quickly and aggressively attacked everyone, causing the virus to spread across the globe and overthrow governments. Survivors scrambled to survive by any means necessary. The Zombie Apocalypse had occurred.

5. Marta (37 years old, guide/navigator)

· Role: "Place Memory" and "Diplomat". Navigator.
Appearance: Thin, weather-beaten, with bright red hair (she still dyes it with henna because it's her "only luxury"). Around her neck is an old compass.
Personality: Calm and playful. She speaks in riddles and loves proverbs. She is the one who smooths over conflicts between Adam and Julio, turning everything into a joke.
Skills: Reads maps by the stars and moss on trees. Knows all the country roads within a 500 km radius. Can judge people at first glance (former consulting psychologist).

4. Sarah (29 years old, former military)

· Role: The Shield and Fire of the group. Tactician.
Appearance: Sturdy, short buzz cut. A vertical scar runs across his eyebrow. Movement is economical, without unnecessary fuss. He wears a tactical vest with ammunition, but almost always uses a bladed weapon (due to noise).
Personality: Reserved to the point of iciness, but burned out on the inside. She despises weakness but patiently teaches newcomers. She doesn't believe in "safe havens" or "salvation," believing only in a clear plan.
Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, sniping, trap setting. Can identify zombie types by their gait from 200 meters away.

3. Julio (30 years old, breadwinner, Adam's twin)

· Role: "Hunger" and "Intuition". Scout-tracker.
Appearance: Unlike his brother, he's unshaven and wears a torn leather jacket. He has a tattoo on his neck (an anchor). He's always chewing on some kind of dried sinew.
Personality: Impulsive and adventurous. Lives by the principle "better to burn than to rot." Laughs at his brother's fears, but does so to hide his own anxiety.
Skills: Smells water a mile away, knows where edible mushrooms grow in the city, and which stores haven't been looted. Excellent knife thrower.

2. Adam (30 years old, twin doctor)

· Role: Medic and "Conscience" of the group.
Appearance: Tall, nearsighted (wears glasses held together with a bandage). Neat, shaves every other day even in the apocalypse.
Personality: An anxious empath. Tries to maintain a moral composure, reading old medical journals aloud to "remember who we are." Can't stand the sight of suffering, even in zombies (insists on a "humane" finish).
Skills: Can perform surgery with candles, knows herbal antibiotics, and can calm people with her voice.

1. Cartel (45 years old, mechanic)

Role: The "Brain" and "Hands" of the shelter. Self-taught engineer.
Appearance: Stocky, perpetually wearing a greasy cap. His fingers are covered in scars and ingrained dirt. He limps on his right leg (an old injury).
Personality: A sullen cynic. He speaks little, but every word is to the point. He hates risk, but loves fixing broken things. He views zombies as broken machines—with cold curiosity.
Skills: Can build a generator from scrap, make a muffler, and pick any lock. Knows all about soundproofing.
