Into the dead our darkest days

[Mikenigel007]

So this is a tie in to my previous post https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/writing-ideas-for-others.37119/ and in that I mentioned into the dead: our darkest days and well I COULD wait around and let others look it up I decided that instead I would post about it, and drag some more people into this game's story because it is by far, one of the most fascinating things I've played, atleast in my opinion. Please Note that this game is early access and as of the posting of this thread is currently on hotfix v0.11.13 so all of this is not final.

into the dead: our darkest days or just itd: odd for short takes place in the fictional city of Walton, texas. The game's starting date (as in the date the game starts) is August 20, 1980 and a zombie apocalypse has been ravaging Walton for atleast a few weeks, Mayor John Ward has fled the city but he claims it's to "better coordinate with our boys in blue" despite Walton's police force having been completely wiped out with 9th precinct station being completely overrun. It's now up to whatever survivors you play as to escape the city, dead or alive, preferably alive. So the game TECHNICALLY takes place in the 1980s but there's a heavy late 70s look to the game.

https://ourdarkestdays.wiki.gg/wiki/Characters there's an entire fan wiki for this game which lists every character currently in the game, so this will focus on characters that I have personally grouped together with each other.

Mercer High Gang! A group of teachers and students from Mercer high, well I assume some are.
Teachers: Darrel the baseball coach, Christine the (retired) gardening teacher, and Rahul the chemistry teacher.
Students: leo the baseball star, isabel the bad luck magnet, and Vince the troubled bad boy.

Veteran's Bar. The name will make since when I explain who's in this group.
Sebastian the 'nam vet bar owner, Diane the bar waitress, Robbie Walker the social drinking writer from Wisconsin and Staff Sergeant Bowman of the 1st special forces group.

First response. Pretty self explanatory, surviving first responders.
Miguel the paramedic and highway patrol officer Kirk Waylon

The Chinese and the German. I know that sounds bad but hear me out, as of the current version of this game, these three are the ONLY CONFIRMED foreign characters.
Hao and Mei the Chinese siblings and Otto the German chef.

If your wondering why only Kirk and Robbie have last names it's because every character is referred to strictly by first name, Kirk's last name can be seen on his name tag and for whatever reason Robbie's last name is in his survivor bio likewise Bowman is only referred to by last name.

1: A FUCKING FIREFIGHTER. Despite there being TWO fire stations on the map no. 8 and 13 there is not ONE FIREFIGHTER! ZOMBIE OR SURVIVOR! I admit I'm biased because my aunt is a firefighter, BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS!

2: National Guard. Technically they're already in the game... as zombies, your telling me that the national guard went in with gas masks and armor and ALL of them because zombies? No, that's not happening. https://ourdarkestdays.wiki.gg/wiki/Armored_Zombies

3: Joe's dad. One of the survivors that you can recruit is Joe Tuivasa (he says his full name over a radio which is how you meet him) and he mentions that he's looking for his dad, who is not currently in the game, Joe states that his dad is a short fused former wrestler hince why I'm interested.

4: another person from out of town. Robbie is from Wisconsin, so maybe somebody from California? Yes I did recommend California just because this game is set in texas.
