So I know there's sequel wishlist thread but that has a lot of general game play stuff and I want to focus on new characters. I came up with two ideas and was hoping that other people would post more.

Idea 1:
An "extreme" sports/surfer type. This would fit more as a dlc character but he/she would basically get more health from energy drinks and maybe carry them around like health kits. Special attack might be some sort of wirlwind thing where you could move and hit enemies 360degrees, controlling movement in this mode would be a little harder.
Idea 2:
A mercenary/smuggler type. This character would have a chance of making more than one item when crafting bombs/molotovs and bullets. Special attack might either be an AOE type attack like a mortar that doesn't harm him or a machine gun spray that hits in a cone in front of him.

So please post some more ideas.

I was thinking for the sequel they could replace the whole roster with 4 new people with the same expertise and skills. Replacing Purma as the gun expert should be a Japanese coastal stereotypical hobo...with a shotgun! Replace Logan with an athletic female volleyball player on vacation, Xian with a Japanese counterpart also female but instead of a cop she's yakuza, and Sam B replaced with a new undead slaying luchador like El Santo or his expies Mask De Smith & El Superbeasto!

How about a real black gangsta, tougher than that weak ass Sam B. This guy only shoots pistols sideways and can fury is dual wielding pistols.

A typical tourist man with graying hair, a beard, and a Hawaiian shirt. He's slower, but tough because we find out he's an ex-marine that is really good at making bombs and stuff like that. His fury is wildly flailing all limbs.

A hot spring break girl (similar to Zoey in L4D) who has pretty much no skills, but has high health and stamina. Her fury is that she can run really fast.

A high school gym coach that can really bring the smackdown on everything because he had practice on the students. Fury-throw your weapons at like 10x damage with boomerang.

An accountant who is very stealthy and good with knives. He can easily sneak around zombies because he is used to sneaking up on little kids and zombies are a lot stupid than children. If he gets hit, his glasses fall off. His fury is a new pair of glasses.

That is all.
