Wyatt & Bill
Name: Bill Janz
Age: 32
Height/Weight: 5'10/180 lbs
Family: The only known surviving family that Bill has is his brother Wyatt. Bill was a lot closer to the Janz family that Wyatt, even though at 16 years younger he spent less time with them. He missed his cousins, aunts, and nephews . . . but once the chaos started, there was no time for a reunion.
Birthplace: Odessa, Texas
Survival Story: At age 22 when the infection began, Bill was working as a paramedic in Odessa, Texas. He had no wife, but he would regularly pick up women at the bar. The plan was to settle down, but not until he was 30 or so. The reason he became an EMT was because he got to help people, without having to wear a gun like a cop. People rarely shot down the medic in gang warfare. Wyatt gave him shit all the time for not following in his footsteps of law enforcement/security, but ultimately he approved of Bill's choice.
The infection erupted into their lives while eating at a BBQ restaurant in their hometown of Odessa. Mary, Wyatt's fourth wife, was bitten and torn at by a mob of people. While Wyatt and their friends fought the threat, he attempted to save Mary. There was nothing he could do, she received too many serious wounds at once. He watched the light go out of her eyes that day. It as the first who had died under his care.
Work wanted him to come in for overtime. While he got the job to help, he knew better than to go to work. It was the Goddamn zombie apocalypse as far as he was concerned. Survival of himself and his brother were of the utmost importance, since their parents were safely tucked away at their farm.
It was a struggle to escape the city, but they emerged victorious. It wasn't without battle, countless infected had to be gunned, clubbed, stabbed, and dismembered. Avoiding a wound in the midst of it all was perhaps the biggest challenge. Many more people died under his medical response. Death became reality.
Both brothers made it to the farm, able to live with their parents in peace until both died of old age. Bill was almost an accident child, born when his parents were aging, but he became both parents' favorite before he even shit his diaper. He was a diplomat, where Wyatt was an enforcer.
Their travels eventually brought them to a small settlement outside of Atlanta, where they hid from human and fungal rotters alike.

Strengths
- Communication: Bill knows how to talk and how to make people feel like they are being listened to.
- Medical Knowledge: When a combat medic is needed, look no further.
- Perception: A good eye in the battlefield or when scavenging, he sees things that others would miss. Bill also makes a hell of a spotter for Wyatt's sniping.
Weaknesses
- Too Diplomatic: Bill could be more assertive, instead of looking to please others so much.
- A Dreamer: The source of many arguments for the brothers: Bill is optimistic and hopeful, Wyatt is a cynical bastard.
- Supportive: Similar to his diplomacy, he gives way to others quite a bit. Unless it is his brother, who he loves to piss off by arguing.
Disposition: William wants to like everyone, and in turn be liked. This supportive nature can help quite a bit, as everyone feels appreciated, and lets their talent and skill out without stress or tension. When a task is decided on, he does not want to disappoint. When people are disrespectful too each other and don't get along, he tries to mediate.
