Earlier today, I had the pleasure of announcing the feature State of Decay: A Survivor’s Story.

Now, I have the pleasure of announcing our cast of survivors. These are the characters who we will be exploring this world and experiencing this journey with.

We have our first survivor, Hetuwa D.

Hetuwa was an EMT before the apocalypse. He took his work very seriously. He also has a big heart and vowed that no matter what he would do everything in his power to save everyone.

On the little time off he had, Hetuwa could always be found with a frisbee in his hand. Whether it be disc golf or a round of ultimate frisbee with his coworkers.

When Z-Day hit, Hetuwa found himself volunteering at a local army base offering his services to help.

After a small breakout had occurred in the base, he joined a small band of survivors as they escaped to a nearby town.

Our next survivor, Richard Hunter.

Richard was a custodian at a local elementary school. A single parent that was doing his best to get his life together. He was trying to make things work so that he would be able to take care of his daughter.

When Z-Day hit, Richard was at school. Determined to protect his daughter, Richard made his way to the office. He learned that his daughter was out sick.

Amidst the total chaos that was ensuing, Richard had made the journey to his ex-wife’s house along with a fellow survivor. It was there that the horror of Z-Day really took hold as he discovered that his daughter was infected and had killed his ex-wife.

Richard had to do the only thing he possibly could. He granted his daughter mercy and had buried his family before moving on. To this day, it is something that Richard will not speak much about.

But he moves on and keeps fighting. Because that is what his family would have wanted for him..

He made his way out of the city but a detour took him to a military outpost. It was there that he was witness to another breakout of Zed-ism.

Richard met a medic named Hetuwa. Along with Hetuwa and Josh, Richard managed to escape the outpost to a nearby town.

Our last survivor, Joshua Crawford.

Joshua Crawford was your typical university student. He was strong minded and book smart. These were the qualities that him a perfect student mentor.

He was at a nearby elementary school for his biweekly visit with a smart minded young student that he was mentoring. It was there that he met a custodian named Richard.

The two went to the neighborhood that Richard’s ex-wife had lived. By chance, Josh’s parents lived out that way as well.

Splitting up, Josh had seen some horrors that you cannot unsee as he walked in to his parents’ house to find his mother devouring his father.

Josh defended himself against his now undead mother. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to give her mercy, he backed out of the house into the backyard.

More terrified by the situation unfolding in front of him, Josh was unaware of his surroundings and had fallen into the empty pool.

His Zed-ified mother fell into the pool after him. Josh managed to escape the pool and grab a few things in a backpack.

Josh rejoined Richard. However, Josh noticed that Richard was not the same. But truth be told, Josh realized he was changed as well. But they were both survivors.

Stay tuned for more State of Decay: A Survivor’s Story.
