The majority of those trapped within the region are innocent civilians, so this gives you a huge and creative opportunity to create interesting individuals.
People like laywers, firemen, bankers and bakers. Walking the infected streets beside priests and librarians and your average - everyday - Jo.
Thus, the civilian class is the most varied available for you.
Any typical proffession will be found here, be it cook, cleaner, or even medical workers.
Please note, as the armed forces include police, they will be found elsewhere.
The armaments of the civilians are incredibly limited, they are stuck with whatever cheap blades and clubs they could find.
The lucky few who'd been able to raid abandoned buildings may find weapons to help them survive, but generally, ammo is scarce within a locked up city, and gun stores tend to have puhretty high level security to stop you getting their supplies.
Of course, 'gun shop owner' also classes as a civilian, and while there may not be many about, I would not stop you choosing this as the basis of your character.
I waste not any more of your time, and I hope you enjoy making up your character, perhaps even his or her back story.
Feel free to PM me about any weapons you may wish to include, that go beyond the barriers of melee and pistols.
