[Backstory: Born and raised in Texas, Joel Miller had a relatively normal childhood, surrounded by a loving family. He grew up with his younger brother, Tommy, and their father, who instilled in them the values of hard work and resilience. However, the warmth of his early life was shattered when he lost his mother at a young age, an event that left a lasting impression on him and his family. This loss contributed to a sense of vulnerability that would echo throughout his life. As Joel transitioned into adulthood, he became a devoted father. He had a daughter named Sarah, and their bond was profound. Joel worked as a contractor, providing for his family and attempting to create a stable life. His love for Sarah was evident; he was a caring and protective father, dedicated to ensuring her happiness and safety. The tranquility of Joel’s life was abruptly interrupted on the night of the outbreak. On September 26, 2013, the Cordyceps fungus began its rapid spread, causing chaos and destruction. In the midst of the pandemonium, Joel and Sarah attempted to escape the city, accompanied by his brother Tommy. The situation escalated quickly, leading to a tragic confrontation with a soldier ordered to contain the outbreak. In a desperate moment, Joel was forced to witness the death of his daughter, Sarah, as she was shot in his arms. This traumatic event marked a pivotal turning point in Joel’s life, instilling in him a profound sense of loss and grief. The death of Sarah left Joel emotionally shattered, leading him to become a man hardened by pain. In the aftermath of the outbreak, he became a survivor, navigating a brutal world where human lives were often expendable. The loss of his daughter altered his worldview, making him distrustful of others and fiercely protective of anyone he grew close to. Joel’s emotional scars ran deep, and he often masked his pain with anger and a stoic demeanor. For the next two decades, Joel adapted to the harsh realities of a world ravaged by the infection. He became a smuggler, working alongside Tess, a hardened survivor who shared his pragmatism. Together, they navigated the treacherous landscape, trading goods and information while avoiding the infected and hostile human factions. Joel’s survival skills sharpened during this time; he learned to be resourceful, ruthless, and pragmatic, often resorting to violence to protect himself and his interests. Despite his hardened exterior, Joel occasionally glimpsed the remnants of his former self, especially in moments of vulnerability. He struggled with the weight of his past and the guilt of failing to protect Sarah. This internal conflict often manifested in his relationships; he found it difficult to trust others, fearing the loss of loved ones once more. Joel's life took a significant turn when he was tasked with escorting a young girl named Ellie across the post-apocalyptic United States. Initially, he viewed this assignment as a mere job, devoid of emotional ties. However, as their journey progressed, he began to see Ellie as a surrogate daughter, awakening a protective instinct buried deep within him. Ellie, a teenager born into a world of chaos, represented hope and resilience. Her determination and spirit reminded Joel of Sarah, and he found himself increasingly drawn to her. Their bond deepened as they faced countless dangers together, challenging each other’s perspectives and gradually breaking down the emotional barriers Joel had erected around himself.]
