Dead Ends/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Main

Eddie Beames Jr

The hero of the story. He was just a delivery boy finishing up his shift on a cold November night when green meteors began falling from the sky and the dead started coming back to life. Now he's in a constant fight for his life along with the other few people still among the living...

Tropes that apply to Eddie

Jaqueline Bannister (Foxy)

Foxy was just another girl at St. Ingrids reformatory for girls, that is, until she met Eddie Beames running for his life from the undead. Not long after, she and Eddie were the the only ones to walk away from the reformatory alive.

Tropes that apply to Foxy

Ben Cruikshank

One of the only two surviving members of the Cruikshank family, Ben joined up with Eddie and Foxy after helping them escape from his house during a late night zombie attack. He may not be the smartest member of their little group, but he is by far the strongest.

Tropes that apply to Ben

  • Companion Cube: Umberto, his stuffed bunny.
  • Gentle Giant: He would never hurt anything living, good thing the zombies don't count as living...

William Kincaid

After losing his wife due to the zombies attack on the local hospital Will meets up with Foxy and later Eddie and Ben when he and Foxy get separated. Definitely not the bravest person of the group, but still good enough to keep around.

Tropes that apply to Will

  • Adult Fear: He helplessly watched his wife die a slow and painful death while there was nothing he could do to save her.
  • Dirty Coward: In one of the bad choices he abandons Eddie and Ben in the middle of the night and takes Eddies revolvers, leaving them to die during a surprise zombie attack.

Supporting

The Truck Driver

A man who meets an unfortunate end after crashing his truck. He is one of the first zombies to appear.

Tropes that apply to The Truck Driver

  • Kill It with Fire: Averted. It burns him quite badly, but doesn't really do anything except slow him down a bit, if even that.

Officer Graham

A cop who shows up in chapter 1 to investigate the truck accident.

A punk kid who learns the hard way that Foxy is not to be messed with. A bad choice in chapter 2 reveals that he became a zombie not long after leaving Eddie and Foxy.
