Chapter 3: Other survivors - "Friendlies"

Your not alone in this world, even if it really feels like it at times.
Others also scrape a living whilst fighting the hoards and other survivors alike.

Let's start with the ones that I would class as friendlies.

Survivors:
A simple person trying to survive, most of them died in a week or two, but some still roam around, trying to find friends or family.
They don't have much in the ways of supplies and normally no weapons either.
Easy targets some would say, waste of time and/or ammo I say...

Scavengers:
The make a living by looking for supplies where others don't look or just simply want to because it looks to "dangerous".
They usually move in groups of 2 or 3, whilst they normally belong to a greater group, taking turns in scavenging outside the camp.
They are usually open to trade and wont shoot you on sight, however they will probably keep their guns pointed at you until you go away.

"Chosen Ones":
For some reason these people have gotten it in to their head that they alone will save us all, be it religious reasons or simply that they have gone insane.
Travels alone but sometimes they have a little cheerleader with them.
Reluctant when it comes to trading but they hoard a lot of stuff, as they seem to travel between cities.
Also a sub-category in the chapter about lunatics.

Some would say that you can't simply categorize people, everyone is different.
To them I say, after what everyone has seen this in this month that has passed, people seem to have similar ways to cope with it all and similar ideas about what to do if you want to survive, so it really is that simple to categorize them.
