Description: Ellis is a mechanic with a love of life, a firm belief in his own immortality, and the ability to treat any setback as a fun dare to impress his friends. Born and raised in Savannah, Ellis divides up his time working at the local garage, hanging out with his buddies, and dropping by for Sunday dinners with Mom—why’d anybody want to live anywhere else?

Then the zombies had to go and spoil it. Now Ellis is looking for new things to occupy his time, and finding plenty. It turns out the zombie apocalypse is one big dare, and there’s no shortage of crazy stuff he can try to impress his new buddies with.

Quote: "I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith and I were on top of a burnin' building, and we had to fight our way down like five floors of zombies—Hey, wait a second... I guess that was you guys. Oh, shit, man, I can't wait to tell Keith about that one!"

Designer's Notes: Ellis is one of the Survivors in Valve Software’s Left 4 Dead 2. This character sheet presents Ellis’s basic abilities, although GMs could easily adjust them to meet a desired power level.

Much of the information here was taken from direct game play, as well as the Left 4 Dead wiki. The stats given here are a mix of conjecture, game play descriptions, and an attempt to present in-game concepts in a manner consistent with the HERO System. Thus, some original game elements have been simplified in order to make them playable with regards to a tabletop RPG and/or to simulate real world gear, and thus make the Survivors useful in various campaign settings.
