[@FortunesFaded] Thank you!

I have a question, however.

I see that at least some of the characters are near Wilmington, so that's at least a place. Assuming it's at least two months into the apocalypse by your first post. The only question is, where should my char come in? And should I include his situation when the initial outbreak started?

I mean, I'm pretty sure my assumptions are accurate. If not, please tell me so!

You're right.

Where you want to be comes down to your personal preference. I'd recommend that you find a character (or characters) that you want to interact with. Unless explicity stated, I'm pretty sure every other player is open to your character finding them.
