Rory ‘Hiker’ O’Connor | He/Him | 26 Rory is the newest addition to the group after they crashed into his car on accident and he bothered them until they let him tag along. He’s the sort of guy obsessed with weird gadgets, the sort you’d see at As Seen On TV stores, and is rather cheerful even with the current circumstances...outwardly, at least. He’s glass-half-full in the forceful sort of way. He was the one to start the radio show and insist on going under fake names- or titles, more like -just because he thought it was cool and fun.

Adam ‘Radio Host’ Walsh | He/Him | 27 Adam, of course, is the person who owns the equipment that Hiker stole (’borrowed’) for the show. Obviously not a huge fan of it, and thinks the whole thing is rather stupid, though plays along anyway. This is partially because he can’t stand how unorganized Rory is with the whole thing, and ends up organizing everything and helping him run it ‘properly’. He hates actually talking on the show, though.

Gabriel ‘Vet’ Augustine | He/Him | 30 Gabe was picked up by the group around 4 months before Rory was, yet has already comfortably gotten himself the position of ‘unofficial dad’. This is possibly because all jokes he says are dad jokes and is usually the one checking in on people in the group and keeping the peace when things get heated. Considers himself ‘fun-loving’ but Rory and Dakota certainly don’t, since half of the time he is the one stopping them from scheming.

Dakota ‘Teen’ Gallen | She/Her | 16 Dakota has been with the group since the beginning, but instantly became Rory’s partner in crime as soon as he joined up with them. Though, surprisingly, he doesn’t let her get away with everything; she finds it hilarious when he stumbles over himself trying to tell her how uncool cursing and smoking are despite doing both himself. She’s a natural when it comes to technology, having had a (slightly illegal, considering her age) job at a tech store before the apocalypse started, and is the one that had helped Rory set everything up.

Mary Gallen | She/Her | 61 Mary is Dakota’s grandmother, and was the one looking after her when the apocalypse started. She’s a pretty stereotypical grandmother, all things considered; she likes sharing stories of her youth, cooking for the group, and giving advice. She also, however, sometimes likes to egg on ‘Kota and Rory when they’re planning something foolish but not entirely dangerous. She doesn’t have consequences for these actions because everyone loves her. She didn’t take up an alias because she accidentally revealed her name early on and figured it didn’t matter.
