Characters that would make the game more interesting
- Social Justice Warrior: Cares a lot about social justice over surviving a zombie apocalypse.
- Zombie Cult Nut or a whole Cult of It: Thinks that true salvation is becoming a zombie that it is the will of some unseen force that all humans are to bow down to whatever parasite/bacteria that turns people into zombies that it is true unity.
- Snake Oil Salesman: Still wearing his business suit, this jackass cares more about selling his wares to care about helping people in a zombie apocalypse. He would make some nasty deals with you making you take some serious choices. He might sell useless crap like drugs and alcohol. Or radios that don't work. I suppose Eli was kind of like this but a more long term one.
- Sex Trafficking Pimp: Well title says it all
- Zombie Tamer: Someone that actually found a way to tame zombies.
- Escaped Homicidal Maniac Prisoner: Jack the Ripper, Ed Gein, just some crazy lunatic that kills zombies or humans without care.
- Zombie Enthusiast: This just had to happen. A person that actually wanted the zombie apocalypse to happen.

Only god himself could make this season remotely interesting, but I guess the closes thing to that would be Kenny.
Kenny and Jane and Edith! We can make our season 2 endings matter, even though flashbacks! It doesn't matter, just make our choices have a lasting impact!
Oh, wait...
Not sure what the point for this thread is, tbh. Are you talking about ANF specifically or the game series in general?
If this thread was just general character types we'd like to see:
A sick character who does their best to help out in spite of (Ex.Larry,Brie, Rebecca?,Natasha)
Another Lilly-type character instead of a Kenny (Ex.Kenny, Nate?, Sarah).
Your recommendations seem more fitting in a Dead Rising game.
A mother/brother and child duo.(Ex. Kenny and Duck, Shel and Becca, Carlos and Sarah)
A paraplegic survivor.
We've seen capable survivors, incapable survivors, teens, kids, babies, psychotics, and all kinds of things. But you know what we've never seen? Someone wheelchair-bound.
Now I know part of that would be due to a simple fact-- they can't move their legs. That greatly diminishes their chance of survival.
But let's say we met a survivor lucky enough to have ended up in a safe community, and was able to survive for a few good years. It'd be an interesting character to explore, if done right.
How do you come to terms that, due to your disability, most people will already see you as a gigantic burden right off the bat? How do you prove that you are capable of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, even in spite of having a significant hamper on your physical abilities?
We could see a character that'd be able to demonstrate strength in a different way, not through fighting prowess or the usual things people would see as 'strength' in this kind of situation, but rather through willpower, wits, cunning, and so forth. Traits that don't really manifest physically.
Even if you can't walk, what if you're really good with a gun? What if you're a good strategist, ex-military? Perhaps a former doctor of some sort? Or an inventor/mechanic/etc? Would you be able to make the best of what you are capable of, despite being at a huge disadvantage for this kind of world in general?
I think it could make for a hell of an interesting character, one that is almost never seen in this kind of story (for mostly good reason, but still)
A childless mother.(Ex.Jolene,Vernon,Kenny)
