Jesus is an Overseer Survivor and DEX type Ranger, who has the potential to be promoted to Mythical Grade.

## Background

“What’s wrong? Did your wound get worse or something? I can’t give you any meds, but you can use that bandage.Just try not to die on me. I won’t be able to sleep if you die right in front of me.”
“Thank you. Any chance you got a pair of scissors we could borrow?” Jesus asked.
“What for?”
“Just want to cut the bandage in half so I can use the other half later. Clean bandages aren't exactly easy to come by these days.”
Clicking his tongue, the guard took back the bandage and cut it in half. When he returned, Jesus struck up a conversation, eyeing the scissors the guard was holding.
“Those look just like the scissors we used back in Hilltop. Where’d you get them?”
“These? They’re just your average pair of scissors. What’s Hilltop?”
“Ah, that’s the community that we lived in before we got locked up here. It’s a great place with great folk. Life was good there.”
“That sounds too good to be true.”
Just as Jesus had suspected, the guard seemed excited about Hilltop, even though he was trying to hide it.
“Do you want to hear more about our community?”
“So, where is this Hilltop place?”
“I can’t just tell you where it is. We wouldn’t want you to invade our sweet little home.”
Jesus stuck his hands out between the bars.
“We can take you there, though. All you have to do is help us get out of here."
The guard scoffed.
“You think I’m a fool? Why would I do that? I got a nice, cushy gig here. Give me one reason why I should trust you. If you’re lying, I end up with nothing.”
“I can’t prove anything I said. I was just hoping that, maybe, you were different from your friends. I saw how your eyes lit up when I said our community was full of good people.”
“You don’t know what you're talking about...”
The guard’s face suddenly crumpled. Wanting to escape before Aaron’s wound got worse, Jesus took a blunt approach.
“I’ve been watching you. You seem like a decent person. You care a lot about the men you work with—even though they clearly take advantage of you. Whenever they got hurt or sick, you were genuinely worried about them. When they needed something, you never told them no. From what I’ve seen, you seem like a guy who wants to be part of a better place than this.”
After a long, tense moment, the guard let out a heavy sigh and shrugged.
“You got that right. I don’t want to be a part of this group. Still, a guy like me needs to do something to survive. I was lucky I even found this group to begin with. If you get an opportunity, you take it, right? I volunteered to work as a lockup guard because I didn’t want any part of their violence. Again, I got lucky because everyone else finds this job tedious. People here are brutal. It may look like I always have an easy time here guarding the lockup, but the truth is, I feel guilty.”
“If you don't like it, you could just leave.”
“What difference would that make? How could I be sure I’d be able to find another group? And even if I did, how would I know they’d be any better? No matter how much I hate it here, I just can’t make it on my own. I’m just a coward who complains.”
Jesus waved his hands.
“Stop beating yourself up. You’re not a coward. You just seized an opportunity to survive. You chose to be smart. But I will say this. My offer is an even better opportunity for you. I don’t think there’s any reason for you not to take it.”
“So...What do you want me to do?”
“Simple. Show us how to get out of here. After that, I’ll make sure all of us get out of here safely.”
After a brief pause, the guard grabbed Jesus’s hands.
“All right, let’s do it. Even if everything you said about Hilltop ends up being a lie, at least I won’t have to live with this guilt. I’d rather live with a clear conscience—even if it means living the hard way. They said that you put up quite a fight earlier, so I believe you there.”
“Don’t worry. Hilltop is real, and the community is sure to welcome you with open arms.”
The guard went out and came back with some water and painkillers for Aaron. Once Aaron could tolerate the pain, the guard opened the door and Jesus walked out of the cell.
“Can I get a weapon?”
The guard hesitated, then placed his rifle on the floor.
“I'm not that fond of the people here, but they still grew on me in a way. I'd rather not kill them.”
With a smile, Jesus picked up the rifle.
“Keep the gun. It'll be useful once we get out of here, especially against the walkers. I’ll make sure not to kill your gang.”
The guard helped Aaron walk out of the base while Jesus dealt with the thugs. Once they escaped, Jesus helped support Aaron as the guard released the safety of his rifle.
“What’s it like? Hilltop. I’m dying to know more.” He handed Jesus a pistol.
“It's best to see for yourself. I know for a fact that you’ll love it there, though.”
Jesus released the gun's safety and started walking back home.
