Z.E.R.O : Zombie Elimination and Rescue Operatives
Jeffrey Knight is a down on his luck self proclaimed loser. He can't keep a job, forced into hours of work in the hell that is retail. His only stable thing in his life was his relationship with his longtime girlfriend…that is until he catches her cheating on him. Now with nothing left, he begrudgingly agrees to join his best friend on a night of fake zombie hunting paintball. The only solace he has in his pitiful life. That is, until he learns zombies are real…
Jennifer Mayer has spent her whole life hunting monsters. Working tirelessly for a secret organization of mercenaries to protect normal citizens from learning the truth. However, there are a growing number of undead, and her organization leaders refuse to believe her that something catastrophic is coming. She is in need of new recruits to prevent a coming “Day of the Dead” event.
After saving Jeff from near death Jennifer takes him on as a pupil. Jennifer must train Jeff in everything she knows while avoiding the growing feelings and memories he reignites in her -- feelings she thought she buried long ago.
Jeff has never finished anything in his life, allowing his fears to stop him. If he chokes up now, there might not be a normal world to go back to.

Characters:
Hapless Hero?

A new zombie epidemic is brewing, and Jennifer's commanders don't believe her. With a shortage of soldiers and support, Jennifer seeks to recruit new soldiers, outside of the Z.E.R.O family bloodlines.
Jennifer Mayer
Demon
Vampire
Demon is a very old being. No one in ZERO knows his exact age. He is one of few vampires that willingly works with Z.E.R.O.
​
He operates as the Units' medic, as some of his vampire abilities has some healing effects.
​
Demon and Jennifer have a complicated past. They dated once, and still hook up occasionally when they need it. He would say she is his one love...after Lillith, his first love that passed many decades before. Unfortunately for him, Jennifer didn't feel the same.
Disgruntled Commander
Hammer is the Commander of the Tampa division of Z.E.R.O. To many he comes off as a pompous asshole. To Jennifer, he is her hard headed adopted brother.
​
He leaves the command of their elite unit Alpha Team to Jennifer. Only butting in when he feels absolutly necessary.
​
He doesn't believe Jennifer is right that an undead epidemic is building, and bregrudgingly agrees to let her take on Jeff as a new recruit.
Terrance Hammer
Sentinel
Tactician
Rick Mathews code named "Sentinel" because he is the tactian and guardian of Alpha Squad.
​
Skilled not only in military prow-ness, due to his marine background, he is also skilled in computer software and hacking.
​
Sentinel comes across as a bit of a flirt with his smooth Texan slang.
