Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven, Part 3 poll
Added 2021-09-15 19:35:03 +0000 UTCAs you probably know, there are several core characters in the MC's group and there are variable characters who may or may not be in the group depending on whether or not they join, may have died, or left. Having core characters makes the game easier to code and also allows me to build storylines around these characters. However this is a zombie apocalypse, so I have to be careful about making too many characters with plot armor.
If you had to choose one current core character who could leave or die, who would you choose? If you would like to tell me your reason for choosing that character, please do so in the comments.
Note: I am not including the neighbors in this group, because they will likely become variable characters.

I like the idea of Jaime dying, just for the pathos of it and to re-enforce the fact that no one is safe in an apocalypse. But if he did actually die I would probably pull a Governor and kill everyone because I was so pissed off lol I voted for Reilly in the end just because if anyone was going to eff things up, it'd be him. He would either lose his temper with the wrong person or he'd steal from the group. If he was found to be hoarding our supplies, there could be a trial (of you are a democratic group) and you could either banish him or execute him. I'd honestly vote for Sean if he were an option. The guy just irks me lol

2021-09-16 11:55:01 +0000 UTCI would say Jaime and then Rachel. I like both these characters a lot, Rachel being my favorite NPC of all, but I think both their deaths (or rather optional deaths) would present an interesting new challenge for both our group and MC. Personally speaking, Jaime's death is pretty much guaranteed to strike deep at our MC even if their relationship isn't great by the end of it because there would probably still be regrets there. Either way, with Jaimes death comes yet another loss of the old world our MC once knew. Now for Rachel, on the personal side of things, she's not as guaranteed to leave a hole as Jaime is, but it's still likely our MC has formed some type of positive relationship with her - so her death would be more like than not to be a negative for our MC personally. Both characters though are immensely involved with the group, both in leadership and skills they provide. Both can actually be *more* involved than the MC, potentially. Both can be the leader, and so it would be very interesting to see how the death of a leader or main member would effect our group and our MC with it. If the one that dies was leader, it could also give another opportunity for the player to fill that void.
