Quick Character[edit]
A half-elf draws his machete, moving slowly into the reach of a raider guarding the hostages
An aasimar reloads her sniper rifle and takes aim at a zombie shepherd launching an assault on her settlement. She pulls the trigger and sees the head of the zombie master blow clean off
A gnome draws a revolver, cocks the hammer back, and sends a bullet flying into the head of a spitter zombie. He cocks it back again and takes aim at the runner attacking his friend.
You're quick, you're fast, and that has been very helpful before the virus. But it is key to your survival after the virus happened. You found that your quick draw with a gun, your abilities with finesse, or maybe just your fast getaways has been integral to your survival.
Spry, Nimble, and Fast[edit]
Maybe you were a street kid who needed to be quick, maybe you were an athlete who required speed, maybe you worked in illegal industries where a quick getaway can be helpful. Whatever the case may be, you are faster than fast, quicker than quick, and you are lightning. (Ka-chow)
