I ever tell you about the time Keith tried to deep fry a turkey? Third degree burns over ninety percent of his body. Man, people in the next city over were calling to complain about the smell of burning skin. Third degree burns over ninety-five percent of his body. I ever tell you about the time Keith and I made fireworks? Now, I didn't know sh*t about chemistry, but Keith figured, "Gasoline burns, doesn't it?". I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith fell out the roller coaster? Yeah, he didn't drop far, mind you, just onto the tracks, but the carnival people wouldn't stop the ride cause all the other people paid good money and Keith snuck on for free, so he had to dodge for like twenty minutes or so. I ever tell you about the time me and Keith snuck up paintball guns on a roller coaster? I never heard of anybody else doing it, so I thought we might have invented a sport. Keith was with his lady at the time and he was yelling for her to save him but she didn't wanna get wet. I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith drowned in the Tunnel of Love? You wouldn't think it would happen cause the water's so shallow, but that's how he gets you, man: Over confidence. He somehow managed to fall under his own. I ever tell you about the time me and Keith made home made bumper car ride with riding mowers in his back yard? Mower blade wounds over ninety percent of his body. But there was this guy I knew, he was racing dirt track, not stock cars but open wheeled cars you know, and he was racing once and a goat- Okay. I mean, I don't know anybody like that, man. At first it was funny, then it just got sad, but then it got funny again! Oh, man. He screamed for an entire YEAR every single time he opened his eyes! Oh, man. He was shooting crows, but the police were too busy tear gassing him to ask what he was doing up there. My buddy Keith tried camping out on top of a building once. Once, I was in this mall, up in Atlanta, and these guys were dancing for like money and stuff and my friend Dave and I was all like.

In overall terms, Ellis can be viewed as the group's little brother.Īlthough his seeming obliviousness to the severity of the situation implies that he is rather naive or even unintelligent, this view is incorrect: he is not stupid, as he proves many times over in combat and most notably when he comes up with the plan of using Jimmy Gibbs Junior's car to escape the mall. Ellis is quick to claim everyone as his friends, as he will sometimes say, "This is what friends are for," when using a med-kit, or will tell a fallen teammate, "I ain't leavin' you!" and he mourns the most when any member of the group dies. Whatever is supposed to be the truth, Ellis presents to his fellow team members the view that the Zombie Apocalypse is a thrill-laden adventure while his open and friendly nature allows him to form affectionate bonds with his teammates effortlessly. However, he has a love interest named Zoey after meeting up with her.Įllis' irrepressible optimism leads to some mixed relationships with the other team members, who cannot figure out if Ellis is genuinely oblivious to the danger they face or if he has a highly resilient, tough-minded personality who chooses to mask or defend it behind a light-hearted surface persona. In common, he's also a risk taker and believes trusts himself to be invincible.

Personally, he is open, friendly, inclusive and highly optimistic. He is a junior mechanic by trade in Savannah City, he describes himself as a goofy, beer-loving guy with artless and sometimes naive universal view.
