History Characters / DeadIsland

* DropTheHammer: His specialty is blunt weapons. On the character selection screen, he is depicted holding a sledgehammer with a [[ShockAndAwe Tesla mod]]. His reappearance in ''2'' even sees him using normal and modded sledgehammers on a few occasions.

* FaceDeathwithDignity: Is already infected by the time the group meets him. Cares more about Jin’s safety.

* BonusBoss: Lives in an area involved in absolutely none of the main quests, and it is possible to reach Overpass Camp without aggroing him.

* TooDumbToLive: Makes a series of bad mistakes, first due to idealism and then out of apathetic cynicism. [[spoiler: She is eventually killed releasing an antagonists zombified loved one to make a point against him about his willingness to kill faceless thousands but hesitation to kill a loved one up close (similar to how she had to do with her father), leading to him killing her. Its indicated however, that after having to mercy-kill her father, she had given up on herself as well and didnt care if she got killed.]]

* GenreBlind: Jin refuses to pick up necessary zombie survival skills. She remains unarmed and aims to help everyone rather than being selective about the sort of people she encounters, leading to to attempt to share her supplies with the criminals occupying the police station. They end up beating up Joseph, [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty then capture and rape her for her troubles]].

* TooDumbToLive: Makes a series of bad mistakes, first due to idealism and then out of apathetic cynicism. She is eventually killed releasing an antagonists zombified loved one to make a point against him about his willingness to kill faceless thousands but hesitation to kill a loved one up close (similar to how she had to do with her father), leading to him killing her. Its indicated however, that after having to mercy-kill her father, she had given up on herself as well and didnt care if she got killed.

* GenreBlind: Jin fails pretty hard at basic "zombie apocalypse 101". She walks around completely unarmed all the time for starters, and then she tries to go share her supplies with the criminals occupying the police station. They, of course, [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty capture and rape her almost immediately]].
* TheHeart: She's the quietest, meekest, most delicate, idealistic and generally non-combative of the main crew.
* HumanPackMule: About her only practical purpose in-game.

* StupidGood: Jin has a good heart and wants to save everybody on the island, but apparently, she thought that going unarmed into a building overrun by dangerous criminals to share her group's supplies with them was a good idea.
* TooDumbToLive: Jin makes several inexcusably stupid decisions, like bringing supplies to the police station that is overrun with criminals, despite the main characters and even the criminals themselves warning everyone to stay away.

* TheLoad: Really, she never actually does anything to help the survivors. She doesn't drive, she doesn't fight. She can carry items for you, but you don't really need it (and giving her too many items can cause data corruption). At her best moments she's useless, at her worst she is completely holding them back. Technically, she does lead the party to the River Village and introduce them to Matutero, but that mainly amounts to following a road and doing a quick favor for a guy in no position to turn down outside help.

%%* CareerEndingInjury: In his backstory.
* CelebritySurvivor: Once a pro-quareterback, his leg injury prevented him from continuing his football career. Lucky for him, his name is still enough to stay in the celebrity life style.

* DropTheHammer: His specialty is blunt weapons. On the character selection screen, he is depicted holding a sledgehammer with a [[ShockAndAwe Tesla mod]].

* StoneWall: He's got the most health of the 4 original survivors, and his skill tree has talents focused around damage reduction, health regeneration, and drawing aggro. As a tradeoff, he has fewer stamina-related perks and can tire quickly.

* ExperiencedProtagonist: In ''2'', being a veteran Zombie Apocalypse survivor means that he's the one that teaches the Slayers tricks of the trade such things as ItemCrafting.
