Randall Williams

## Biography Before That Day

Randy lived in Westfield with his parents, Charles and Patty Williams, while his sister attended the private school Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy. Randy had trouble fitting in with other kids his age. He was mildly ADHD and was always much better at connecting with people who were older than him. He was never a brawler, but had the ability to convince others to do things that could get them hurt. Much like his father, he couldn't stand not getting his way, especially if he felt on-upped.

## Biography After That Day

Randy survived in his family home during the first six months following the onset of the walking dead. He often took the situation lightly, skirting around zombies, as if a game. He would help his sister and father scavenge their neighborhood for supplies, and was really excited when his father told the family on Christmas that they would be going to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy to escape both the living and the dead in Westfield. On the way there, the family car ran out of gas and Charles was attacked by a zombie near the gas station at the head of Auburn lake road. Randy killed the zombie with a double barrel shotgun. Once arriving at Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy Randy appeared shell-shocked and spent the majority of his time playing video games that Adrian had scavenged. He really liked Adrian, even though he blamed him for Charles broken arm. He did try to help move the wood stove from the Jones Road farm into Hall A where the Williams family lived, but ended up getting it knocked off the engine lift. Life for Randy on the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy campus was relatively safe, and he was often left alone with his video games while the others went on forays into town. During firearm training with Adrian, he was too fast and furious with a gun, almost as if he was still playing video games.  Randy had trouble dealing with his parents fighting, and following the explosion of the gas station. Randy moved with them to the STIG facility.

He was very scared about arriving at STIG, and cried himself to sleep the first night. He met up with a few kids and seemed to be getting along with them until one of them, a boy named Alan, called him retarded. This resulted in a fight which Charles had to pull him away from. He blamed Charles for making them leave Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy and had been convinced no one would like him after awhile. Randy felt STIG was like a prison; his hyperactive mind couldn’t take all the change happening around him and the added stimulus of new people didn’t help. The poor guy had overloaded on reality. Following a game of UNO with his parents, Randy went AWOL. When Charles, Brian and Wayne found him, he was standing over the dead body of Alan inside the hazmat room at STIG. He looked at his father with an evil smirk, thinking everything was ok, because he'd shot Alan in the head. Had no emotion in his face after shooting Alan. He had lost touch with reality. At the end, Randy finally exhibited emotion: anger. Anger at being there, being picked on, not having any choices, being ignored. He exhibited fear as he apologized for what he was about to do, blamed his dad's bad example, then he shot one of the Silane barrels and blew up the STIG building.
