Zombie Killer
Joseph is a pure bad-ass. Tough as nails and not shy about spilling blood, he will not stop until he has eradicated ever last zombie. His dark exterior personality hides a heart full of pain, and he uses that to spur him on against an onslaught of hopelessness. He also has good leadership skills, and may be the best chance to lead the others to survival.
Any gun, bladed instrument, melee weapon, or even just something he picks up can be a weapon. Whatever it takes to kill the zombie.
Joseph lived an ordinary life until he turned 18. He signed up to join the US Army, and served for 10 years. In that ten years, he was a good soldier, and saw many horrific incidents in Afganistan, Iraq, and Iran. When he was discharged at 28, he met and married Cynthia Tolbert. Two years later, the two were living in family bliss, as they had two kids, Thomas and Annie. Joseph got a job at Astrotech Corporation, a company that worked closely with NASA.
He worked there for ten years. At age 40, the nightmare began. His co-workers became zombified, and he was forced to butcher them with an emergency axe. Going home, he found his family had been turned, and through his tears, he killed them all with a .38 caliber pistol. In despair and rage, he sought revenge against the zombies for taking everything away from him. A soldier once again, Joseph has promised to kill every last zombie.
