A massive, powerfully built Black man with a shaved head, dark eyes, and an intimidating presence. Blunt, tough, practical, and quick with a comeback, BT is hard to intimidate and has little patience for stupidity. Beneath his exterior, he is deeply loyal and guided by a strong moral center. And a smartass sense of humor.A survivor of devastating losses during the zombie outbreak, BT is strong, levelheaded, experienced in combat, and increasingly skilled at killing zombies. His friendship with Mike Talbot grows through mutual respect, danger, insults, and sarcasm. BT calls Mike out while always having his back—and thinks the new girl is hot.

A rugged, broad-shouldered former Marine with dark cropped hair, permanent stubble, and sharp, weathered features. Sarcastic, stubborn, paranoid, fiercely protective, and prone to inappropriate commentary, Mike keeps talking even when silence would save him. His military training, weapons knowledge, survival instincts, and distrust of convenience make him invaluable after the zombie apocalypse. He loves Tracy, their children, and Henry, his smelly, stubborn, beloved bulldog. Mike and BT become close friends, bonded by danger, mutual respect, and relentless shit-talking. Mike never sought leadership; he’s a husband, father, and professional smartass trying to keep everyone alive—and his instincts are usually right.

Tommy is a tall, chubby young man with shaggy brown hair, a round face, and an almost permanently cheerful expression. Sweet-natured, innocent, and sometimes childlike, he possesses an optimism that seems wildly out of place during a zombie apocalypse. He loves food—especially Pop-Tarts—and quickly becomes attached to Mike and his family. Beneath Tommy’s harmless, happy exterior, however, there is something distinctly unusual about him. He understands things he seemingly shouldn’t, survives situations that should be impossible, and occasionally displays abilities that raise uncomfortable questions.Tommy’s true nature and connection to the outbreak remain mysterious. He isn't psychic
