Jerome Hunter: That’s me! I’m the main character of the story and father to my beloved daughter, Sunshine! I was eaten by a couple of zombies, and now I’m a zombie. Can you believe that? I can’t do anything a regular could do and I don’t even have everything a human should have. Including a di… anyways! I’m a special kind of zombie called a Type Two Radion, and I have the ability to absorb different kinds of energy and release them in different ways. Since my daughter thinks that’s pretty cool, I think it’s pretty cool too. These dumb Radius guys are trying to capture me and kill my daughter ‘cause apparently we’re gonna “start a new apocalypse”. Well, you wanna know what I told them? “Screw the apocalypse!” Those assholes think they’re gonna take my daughter away from me without a fight? Hell no!
Sunshine: My beloved daughter! The light of my life and the only reason this whole apocalypse shit hasn’t made me go crazy yet. She’s pretty smart for her age, though I think it’s ‘cause of this ability she has. Don’t know what it is specifically, but it’s pretty wonky. She was infected with this stupid disease that’s currently eating her life away, and if I don’t hurry up and find a cure, she’ll be dead by the end of the year! I found a few things that made her feel better, but no luck in finding a cure. According to Rosalina, there’s someone who might know about a cure in good ole’ Philadelphia. Guess that’s our next stop.
Jesus Hernandez: A complete weirdo who doesn’t wear any clothes besides tighty whities and a Halloween horse head. I can’t believe I let this guy train my daughter… But I guess he’s pretty strong. He caught me off guard a few times with that explosion ability of his. It only happens when he swings that katana of his, but it definitely packs a punch. However, I couldn’t just let that freak train my kid without any damn pants on so I gave him mine. It’s not too unfortunate for me. After all, I’m a zombie and I don’t have a… Damn it!
Rosalina Ramirez: She was a Type Two Radion like me. Once a human, she was turned into a zombie in an attempt to save her daughter, and after witnessing that in the state between absorption, my respect for her went way up! I mean, who wouldn’t be impressed with such a selfless feat like that. She reminded me of me. But it took a lot for her to show that side of her to me. She had the ability to control aspects of nature, such as plant life. Since I absorbed her, her ability is mine now, and I intend to use it just as well as she did. No… even better!

Sunflower Ramirez: She’s Rosalina’s daughter and the girl I’m currently trying to revive after a maniac cut her head off! She’s pretty small for her age. If what I heard during the state between absorption was correct, then she’s actually sixteen years old! Six at the start of the apocalypse, ten years have passed since then… Geez! She’s only Sunshine’s height and my daughter is nine. Maybe it’s ’cause Rosalima turned her body into a living plant in order to “immortalize” her. Makes sense. She hadn’t seen her daughter in a couple years at that point.
Jason: I don’t usually curse as a father to a nine year old, but for this psycho I will. Fuck this piece of shit! This guy has killed two kids in front of me and tried to kill my daughter. Hell, he still wants to kill her. According to him, he sees Sunshine as competition and her disease as a threat to his current lifestyle. Pretty stupid reason to kill her considering he’s immune to her contagious disease. This guy rarely speaks like a normal person too. His speech only consists of “ways a person can die” like decapitation or heart attacks. You know what’s even weirder? His ability allows him to make these phrases a reality! I’d say he’s the strongest member of the Radius I’ve faced so far, however there’s still one other guy that seems pretty iffy to me.
Kofi: This guy might be just as crazy as Jason. They look to be best friends which makes Kofi crazy by default! He’s a member of the Underground Radius, but he didn’t seem to be happy in his current position. The guy desires chaos and bloodshed. Maybe that’s why he let me and Sunshine escape the Underground City… But if he’s looking for a future fight, I’ll be sure to give him an ass whooping he’ll never forget. That might be hard though since he has the ability to control electricity. Maybe with this new form I received, I could finally keep up with him.
Dante: Ok, I lied before. I have to curse just one more time… Fuck this piece of shit too! This guy has been tormenting and embarrassing for I don’t know how long. And to top it all off, he was the leader of the Loan Sharks and I owned this guy a ton of money. This guy scammed me and made me give my little girl alcohol! He was stronger than me, and he was the reason I became a zombie in the first place. However, what kind of father would I be if I let this dude kidnap Sunshine and make her fear for her life! So, I destroyed him and those dumb little forcefields he likes to use. Hopefully, he doesn’t return. Although, I'm pretty sure he’s dead.
Elias: Found out this guy was a slave owner in the state between absorptions. Well, he told me before I found out there, but the things I saw him do to Rosalina in that shed was just… sickening. Haven’t seen him since Jason smacked him to a wall though. If I ever see him again, he’ll definitely have a talk with my fist.
