Woody

Woody is a character in Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven.

History
Woody was born in Little Rock, Arkansas as stated in a conversation between him and the protagonist, but moved to Montrose, Colorado when he turned ten. His parents divorced at fifteen years old, and ended up being raised by his father whom he highly respected, but still had a strong relationship with his mother. Eventually moving to Boulder to attend the University of Colorado until the apocalypse.

Personality
Woody is very friendly, loyal, and honorable to those who treat him well. If the player treats him poorly, he shares that he's willing to cooperate with the player until reunited with Jaime but that he'd rather leave than stay where he's unwanted. Woody places trust in high regard and shows respect towards the dead, as can be seen when he and the player find a zombified and mutilated Tommy.

He's also quite childish at many points of the story, such as enjoying children's novels as well as comic books like Comet Joe. However, Woody is mature when the time calls for it, such as showing great importance to his survival and the survival of his friends even if that involves killing another person as an absolute necessity.

Woody is very pessimistic of the future, believing that since most of humanity has never experienced serious survival situations people will go mad and eventually kill each other to extinction. He has vigorous interest in Native American heritage and culture, believing the zombies are actually Wendigos, a Native American legend.

While Woody claims to be a non-violent person, when the player's house is robbed by the Makarovs he seeks revenge for being humiliated. He's also easily flustered, as can be seen whenever someone refers to him as "Moses". It's unclear whether Moses is Woody's real name or if it's a nickname given to him by Jaime, but he prefers to go by his chosen name.

Known abilities
Expert survivalist: Growing up outdoors, Woody has natural skills in survival and learned how to hunt, fish, and camp.

Adept with electronics: During a conversation with Woody he is seen fixing a laptop and claims to know how to program. However he is not skilled enough to hack.
