[daydreamodyssey]

L4D OCs - Southwest

Had some help from others, including @howdywrites (thank you!), about good ideas for a new zombie fighting crew with a mix of characters that will form their own odyssey

1. Gabi (28) - A sociable, sport loving lass who became a popular waitress at a humble diner. An optimistic, friendly, yet dangerous attitude that's needed in the grim post apocalypse even if the tolls of this new life affect her. Wears pink, frilly clothes with big lush hair to show she's a bouncy and friendly face.

2. Tess (60) - A reclusive rancher who is tough as nails and hell of a shot despite being the oldest of the bunch. Hard working, lonesome, paranoid of outsiders, and quietly religious, she gives order and direction amidst the chaos. Wears gray flannel with hair tied in a bun to show she's not to be fucked with in serious matters.

3. Ken (22) - A levelheaded but worn down lad who studied in veterinarian science before this craziness hit, and he tries to be a calming force in all the strife. The youngest of the bunch, he tries to catch up to the others while staying calm and providing jokes. Wears blue denim over a brown shirt, and has long hair, showing him as an unassuming mediator.

4. Rhonda (43) - A former rodeo cowgirl who suffered a career ending injury and turned to a life of crime fighting the law. With a chip on her shoulder and a lot of pent up aggression, she's ready to enjoy a good fight with zombies. Wears a stetson, an orange shirt, with black leather, and is the largest in size and height for an intimidating silhouette.

The Church

@flashfictionfridayofficial @howdywrites

(tw blood and gore)

The quartet of zombie survivors walked away from the struggle with bloodied wounds barely covered by bandages. They needed a place to hold out and recover and it certainly wasn't going to be out in the open as dusk approached. The bloody red sun overlooking the cruel southwest desert signalled the frozen chill of night creeping in. By serendipity, the sun was toward the direction of a church with lights still on.

"Yay, someone is still alive!" the pink dyed Gabi beamed.

"Finally," the large stetson wearing Rhonda grinned. "Was afraid Tess was gonna fly away with th' wind!"

"Hush it," the tiny, gray flanneled woman said. "This is holy ground, and I don't want y'all talking like heathens while we're finally blessed."

A long haired man wearing denim and brown leather observed the pile of zombies dead and impaled while posed in upside down cross formations.

"I love what they've done with the place," Ken quipped. "Really feeling the love of God here."

Tess groaned, "Lord, forgive them and their foolishness."

Gabi knocked on the door and yelled to say they were in need of a safe house. There was no coherent answer, only some mumbled sighs. She looked at the others who were also confused, yet the chill was grating on their skin, and they chose to enter anyway.

The cobwebs and chipped pews contrasted with the ornate church's stained glass filled with colorful hagiography that felt at home to Gabi and Tess, while Ken was impressed by the artistry, and Rhonda was apathetic to it all. They looked around to find the sound's source, a constant moaning that echoed throughout the building, causing Gabi to shiver and Rhonda to aim her shotgun. Tess found a separate room and found a kneeled woman in a nun's habit sulking.

"Sister? You're alright now. We're not bit."

Gabi stepped in to see the nun and bent down to comfort her, but Tess put her arm out in case it was a trap.

"What's your name?"

With a long exhale, the woman slowly got up and looked at them, and saw Ken and Rhonda enter as she ambled over.

"I am Sister Amanda. I am the only one who has been saved in this great judgement. I hope you four are not the Horsemen come to lay waste to me."

"Hell no," Rhonda barked as Ken raised a brow at the nun's words. "But if we were, I call War, because that's the most badass one!"

"Rhonda," Tess sighed. "Sorry, Sister. We didn't mean to intrude, but night's closing in, and we needed a refuge."

"I understand. But before I let you all stay, you must do me a favor, and that is to confess your sins. It is how I remained safe from this awful plague. I insist you do the same lest the horrible curse outside befalls you all."

Rhonda rolled her eyes while Tess and Gabi obliged with Ken out of sight.

"I don't mind, Sister," Tess said. "I ain't going too private since I'm with company, but... I did a kill a man before all this. A real snake who tried to get more than he deserved."

"I killed a few m'self, ya ain't that special" Rhonda chimed as Tess glared at her. "What? Y'all wanted confessions..."

Gabi twiddled her fingers and stepped up. "I... turned a blind eye to someone being attacked. I was just so scared and didn't know what to do!"

Tess put her hand around Gabi's and Amanda gave a small smile with hands outstretched.

"Thank you all. I know now what people you are all. How un-Christian and sinful you are."

"Excuse me," Tess stared daggers at her. "Then what was all that confession shit for?"

"Call it introspection," Amanda said with a sluggish smile and heavy eyes. "You will need it in this coming Rapture. Murderers and cowards need to be reminded of their guilt if they seek salvation."

"What are you even saying," Gabi cried in confusion. "We messed up but we're doing what we can! How dare you be sanctimonious!"

"I can beat that smugness right out of 'er," Rhonda cracked her knuckles.

"You may say your barbs, but I am protected, for my deeds are only to the evil and soulless you saw before trespassing on this land. You three-"

Her heart dropped and a chill went down her spine.

"Wait, there was a fourth one. A young man. Where did he go?"

"Ladies?" Ken shouted from below, causing the others to be concerned.

Rhonda grabbed Amanda by the arm and escorted her to where Ken was. He found a cellar hidden by tapestry and went down and saw a sight that rendered him speechless and cold. The others followed his path and saw what he discovered.

Bodies of slashed clergy and churchgoers were laid neatly in a row. Many were only recently rotting and three were smaller and younger than the rest.

Ken pointed at the limbs and necks. "No bite marks."

Amanda lost balance and felt her vision distorted and swirling. She retreated to a pew and rested on her side.

"The Lord will forgive me. He always will. He knows what I had to do. They all committed grave sins. To use the apocalypse as an excuse for impure and unholy acts. To abuse all of His love. To abuse all of His laws. To abuse all of His charity."

She rambled on as nightfall pressured them to throw her outside, in her nearly catatonic state, damning her to the outside world come Hell or high water. The group had varying degrees of guilt, with Ken and Rhonda feeling no sympathy for Amanda, Gabi feeling terribly sick, and Tess thinking about their safety in sleeping without a knife around their necks. They didn't hear her as they slept through the night and assumed she met her flock.

HA! you thought I forgot to continue telling their backstories now, did ya? you are correct

A-anyways... Here's the backstory of my Boomer! warning tho, it's a bit gross bc food is involved...

Backstory + Info Dump under the cut:

Bobby Maloney was raised by a single mother and lived most of his life having her as the only biological family he has known. Though her mother has several temporary jobs, she always found time to show love and affection towards her son. They mainly bonded from cooking and repairing stuff that wore down their house. They didn't have much, but they were both happy... well, most of the time.

He wasn't a perfect student, but teachers liked him nonetheless. This did not stop him from getting bullied though. Due to his likability, along with his timidness and chubby physique, he became a constant target for it. The taller or higher-level bullies would call him names and take his things then break them in worst cases. He hid these from his mother, thinking that it'll only add to her hardship. If only he knew things were about to take an unexpecting turn...

Bobby was heading home when he was suddenly surrounded by the same bullies that tormented him all day. They were mocking him, taking his bag, and throwing the stuff on the ground, and eventually, they started pushing him. Unexpectedly, a smaller hooded kid approached them and intervened. Before he knew it, one of the bullies is lying on the ground with a bleeding nose.

Things were heating up when a teacher found them. He and the kid went to detention (because the teacher who caught them thought they were the ones who started it). The two talked to each other during that time, later dragging Samuel into their conversation. Needless to say, it was the most pleasant time they’ve had while being punished

They became friends, then stayed friends all throughout life. He was protected by them, and in turn, Bobby served as the voice of reason in the group, teaching them some lessons they don't understand and doing his best to keep them out of trouble. It worked... most of the time.

After graduation, Bobby applied for college. He had to move to the city in order to be closer to the school. Bobby lived in some cruddy affordable apartment. Not before long, his friends joined him in the apartment and they became roomies! They helped with paying the bills and keeping the apartment neat.

As means of payment for his bills and providing support to his mom, Bobby worked part-time as a bartender/chef for a bar & resto. that was near his apartment. He didn't like working there, but he really didn't want to look for a new job. Plus the job's schedule fits neatly with his college's schedule.

Bobby studied in the morning, then dreadfully worked at night. He hoped he'd be able to keep this up until he graduates.

...That didn't happen.

Instead, the apocalypse occurred.

He was working when one of the undead barged in and caused havoc. He, some staff, and other customers that survived managed to lock themselves in the kitchen and save themselves. They stayed there, hoping they will be saved, and ignoring the grunts from outside.

As they waited, they did their best to maintain the food they have. They only ate once a day, even when the food tasted worse as each day passed. But rather than surviving, they were getting sicker, swelling even. It didn't take too long for them to realize that the food was actually contaminated. This explained why they were all swelling.

In a panic, one of the people there hysterically attempted to leave, attacking anyone that tried to stop him. As soon as the door was opened, zombies started swarming in. Bobby hid behind a closet, and managed to evade the attack, but heard so many screams and growls.

Soon everything went silent. Bobby was sick, alone, and afraid. His phone had been dead since the beginning of the infection, so he has no one to call. And he was too afraid to check what lies outside the closet.

He felt like vomiting.

———————————————————————–

Other Info about him:

He was 25 years old when he died

Though his mother has several temporary jobs, she always finds time to show love and affection toward him

As written in his backstory, he helped his mom out a lot in the house, it's their way of bonding. They bond the most through cooking

Unlike Sme and Hans, Bobby can cook

He cooked for them both because if he doesn't they'll make the unhealthiest and inedible food of all time

He grew up to be a HUNK. He's still kinda chubby tho! He's also taller than both Samuel and Hansel

He became confident over the years! He's no longer a timid boy, but still a sweetie

He still thinks he's unattractive. Unbeknownst to him, some of his peers have a crush on him

He took Hospitality Management as his college course

I have a headcanon that zombies (both normal and infected) are no longer conscious. But if they were, he'd be exhausted™, a bit anxious but still (in a way) a sweetie

That's all for him!

Stupid thing I made feat. A few l4d ocs I made with @medicalmysteries

They’re more for au purposes considering that in canon two of the three (the two on the right) would immediately die (and not in the ‘oh they’re infected’ way they’re dead dead), but they’re fun to play around with!

I’m sorry my handwriting is so bad ^^”
