So, choose anybody you want, fictional or real, but they have to follow 3 rules: 1) They can only travel with what they would have normally, i.e., Harry potter (who I think would die) can only have his wand or some small provisions. 2) They cannot leave Earth as part of their survival. (This is unilateral.) 3)God like characters must save humanity in the process. (This was the killer for Dr. Manhattan.)
All super powers are assumed to work unless there is some condition that would prevent them from doing so.
Also, the manner of infection (i.e. the vector through which the virus, curse, etc. spreads) is not terribly important. The gist of the zombie apocalypse scenario is all that is needed. If we get too technical, we're not focusing on the survivors. We're basically just making up universe rules to kill people we don't like.
So assume the following: 1.) The virus (or whatever) only affects corpses. Whether the infection kills the subject isn't extremely relevant, as the other conditions (lawlessness, psychopaths, and of course the zombies) are just as likely to kill somebody. 2.) The outbreak is already underway. Major metropolitan areas are all infested. Governments are either weakened or currently occupied trying to contain the outbreak. 3.) The subject of your choice is either stranded or travelling with a group as appropriate to the setting. i.e. If Bill Gates was the subject assume he was in his house or some other place routine for him, he is in government custody (think bunker from Dead Rising 2), or he is currently on the run in the field. 4.)The government and private security cannot save the subject. They are currently attempting to set up a safe zone. Your subject can be one of the first ones at the site (example: Bill Gates) but the site isn't complete and is still vulnerable. The degree of vulnerability depends on the scope and nature of the safe zone.
So my picks for survivors were:
1. Cody Lundin, from Dual Survival. Motherfucker can make fire from rocks. He may not be able to defeat a massive horde but if he can outrun it, he can survive indefinitely.
2. Leon Scott Kennedy. Well, because he did. Zombie apocalypse? Been there done that and killed an entire region of terrorists afterwards.
3. Solid Snake. A cardboard box and a bowie knife and he's good.
4. Chuck Greene. Yes, he's in a fucking zombie game. And he'd still survive. Macguyver's zombie smashing cousin is a no brainer.
5. Death the Kid. Zombie's aren't symmetrical. And he is a shinigami. He'd probably save the world while he's at it too.
My picks for people who would most definitely die:
1. Chuck Norris. ROUNDHOUSEKI-*CHOMP* huh...never figured a zombie would bite me on the leg.
2. Pierce Morgan. Suddenly, an assault rifle is a brilliant idea. Too bad for you.
3. Joe Biden. Discharged all of his ammo on the balcony and was over run by zombies immediately afterward. Brilliant. Once again, the assault rifle would have helped.
4. Any UFC fighter. Hand to hand just gives them an arm to bite.
5. Daniel Tosh. There's just no way.
You don't have to stop with five, I just did for the interest of time. So, who's talking and who's walking? (Get it? Walking Dead?
Yeah I would get killed by my companions.)
