SYNOPSIS:
An early 2000s highschool geek’s club has a lot more to worry about than their usually fighting over prized super hero merchandise and jocks bullying them. A real world zombie apocalypse starts, and ground zero is their less-than-idyllic small town. They must use their accumulated knowledge of zombie movies, monster flicks, and sci-fi stories to fight their way through hoards of the undead or die trying.
NED BEAVERS:
The self appointed “leader” of the group that no one really wants to actually listen to. He is a lover of Star Wars, super hero comics, and nintendo games. He tends to think he’s cooler and wiser than he is (though all of them do), but he probaly tries the hardest and fails the most to get a girlfriend out of the group. His rat tail and oversized hoodie are meant to made him look like a Jedi Padawan and the katana is the closest he can get to a lightsaber that will actually kill zombies.
YOSHIMI MOTO:
She likes video games and cosplay, don’t try to talk to her about much else. She’s that kid that shows up to class in their poorly made costumes everyday. She can come across as standoffish, and struggles simultaniously with being treated like she’s less knowledgable or just a “potenial girlfriend” by fellow male geeks and believing she is “better” than her fellow highschool girls for liking games instead of makeup.
TERRY PENNYSWORTH:
Probably the most meek out of the geek club, Terry has a lot about her she hasn’t quite figured out (namely the “she” portion). She feels quite connencted this the Matrix, but takes the most pride in knowing EVERYTHING there is to know about geek content and culture. She usually uses this to argue with Ned about whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better (She’s a Trek fan) or about their favorite comic characters. The geek club is quite the disfunctional group, but if you had to pick one to be the nicest to you, pick Terry.
LOGAN CROTTY:
If you grew up in a trailer park or a cul-de-sac, you might know that usually there’s one of two kids that aren’t “popular” but still bully and terrorize everyone else in the neighborhood. That’s Logan. He loves all things bloody and gorey, growing up watching R-rated movies since he was in elemetary school. This goes from zombie movies (so he considers himself somewhat of an expert in this scenario (he isn’t)), slashers, to first-person shooter video games. He butts heads the most with Yoshimi, their arguments about games can get insanely heated.
