Affectos
"Look around us...it's all dead and grey. We're a last hope...the last colors..."

- Emerald looking out at the infected world In the impending wake of the Zombie Apoclaypse, six teenage friends were forced to lock themselves in the local hardware store and build their way out while having to dealing with violent survivors as well as the undead. Believing in 'Violence in Silence', they built weapons out of scrap metal and wore armor of leather. Deciding that the hardware store was running low on supplies and resources, they modded a school bus and escaped to Duluth in hopes of escaping. Along the way, they managed to pick up a few old friends who have their own sets of skills...

Crimson
"I won't take sides, you'll both leave."

- Crimson to arguing Sapphire and Amethyst

Leader of the group, he is the one who has enought mental stregnth to take charge of them. Beliving that the disciplined will survive, he maintains order in his group and when negotiating with other survivors. Over time, he slowly loses emotions of joy and love, and had them replaced by contentment and affection. At the beginning of the end, he was 16.

When he takes arms against the living and the dead, He wields a jian and several chuckrams.

Emerald

"These are not toys, these are the things that will save your lives. Use them correctly, and you might be able to save someone else's."

- Emerald to the group when handing out weapons for the first time.

Before the dead rose from the earth, he was friends with all of the members of the team in one way or another. After though, Emerald became the group's weapon expert and jerry-rigger. Running the forge, he made most of the weapons that The Last Colors use and taught them to use them to the best of their abilities. While he fights best on his own, he suffers from an internal fear of being left alone. When it all began to go downhill, he was 17.

When he rushes into battle, he carries a naginata.While in Superior, he nursed a macaw that he found in a pet store back to health. In battle, it aids him similar to a falcon.

Amber
"You need each other in order to survive. To keep faith, support one another, and be there for one another."

- Amber when Crimson asked her what survival means to her

The group's healer, Amber was a religious girl who refused to leave her faith in spite of the dead rising. Applying her anatomy skills, she also lends an open ear to help with not only the physical, mental wounds as well. While at first she was nervous to leave the safety of the Hardware Store, save for scavenging, she stepped up to the plate and face a man who had been stalking her. Over time, she and Emerald form a tight bond that boarders on romance. When the s*** hit the fan, she was 15.

While prefering to stay behind the main line, wields a bolo knife, and as a secondary weapon she finds safety in the gasoline-filled Super Soaker/flamethrower called 'Firewater'.

Amethyst
"You are not God's gift to man, the orgasm is. You are merely the messenger."

- Amethyst to survivor trying to hit on her

The group's wild card, she is the group's best fighter and self-proclaimed BAMF. Planning on going into Air Force prior to the outbreak, she is also the most physically fit of them all. Refusing to see the less violent path, she tends to act first, and ask questions later, leading to confrontations between her and Crimson. When the dead began to rise, she was 17

Wielding a chainwhip, she is also the best with hand-to-hand as well. In the few times she needs to feel even more like a bad-ass, she take charge of the NERF Vulcan modded with nitro-tipped darts.

Cobalt
"This bus isn't going anywhere right now...I'm going to need metal. A lot of it."

- Cobalt when he first sees the pre-modified Exodus Bus

Sapphire's brother, he was part of a group that was holding out in Duluth. Being a skilled mechainic, his group often bartered his skills to other groups for resources. After a vechical he had repair for a collection of homeless people exploded, the 'king' of their group had a price on his head. Stealing goods from the group holed up in the homless shelter, he made a break for his old home. Along the way, he came across the hardware store that The Last Colors were holed up in. After learning his sister was staying there, he was taken in and became the group's mechainic. Leading the build on the Exodus Bus, he put his skills to the test building the tricked-out school bus. When Anubis's night fell, he was 18.

Along side his sister, he uses a compond bow and the other half of the scissors, the other half belonging to his sister.

Sapphire
The quietest of the group, she relies mainly on her hunting and tracking skills to sielently take down the dead and game for the group. Her biggest issue is with Amethyst, who she sees as the alpha-b****. Only after Crimson threatened to kick both girls out that she finally decided that she could tolerate her. When the dead walked the earth, she was 16.

Perfering stealth, she wields a crossbow and half a scissors, the other half she shares with her brother.

Gold
Also part of Cobalt's Duluth group, she was investigating where he had vanished to. After checking the 'safehouse' they had set up several times, the entire group was firebombed as they went in to check it, out of suspicion that they were hiding Cobalt there. Barley making it out alive, she was forced to wander to Superior, where she met some old friends. Of the group, she has the most knowledge of what was happening outside of their area. Before being faced with a fate worse than death, she was 18.

Gold is the only Color to use an actual firearm. Packing a Colt .45 revolver and a katana, she is the most survival-of-the-fittest of them all.
