LOOOOL, I failed Geography SO badly when I was at school xD Maybe they can be in the state next door to where the characters in the series are perhaps? Wherever that may be!
Ok, my characters are:
Name: Ashelin (Ash)
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Hometown: Devon (UK), but was in the US when the apocalypse struck.
Personality: Loyal, untrusting, cautious, strong, headstrong, bold, unsympathetic and blunt.
Family: Not alot is know about her past. She never speaks of her parents and she lost her sister to the Walkers when the epidemic began.
Partner: Single.
Appearance: 5,7. Blond and red hair with green eyes. Wears jeans, black tank top, hoodie and always has a gun holster on her left leg. She has a small sword which hangs off her belt down her right leg. Also has a backpack on her person at all times.
History: Ashelin had a very lonely and sad childhood. She went into the armed forces at sixteen, but left when she was twenty as she had an incident out in one of the wars which made her lose faith in the army. She learnt alot there, though her training is kept to herself. Because of this incident that happened out in the army, Ash kind of went on the run and travelled the world trying to escape her guilt. She ended up in the US and is still there today, wandering the wilderness killing walkers and protecting the young Sam.
Current situation: Keeping Sam safe and trying her hardest to stay alive. The new world has bought more guilt to Ashelin, but these days she is able to cope better.

Name: Sam
Age: 9
Gender: Male
Hometown: New York
Personality: Timid, scared, lacks confidence.
Family: He lost all his family to the apocalypse.
Partner: Single.
Appearance: Short for his age. Blue eyes, brown hair and wears jeans, a hoodie and always has a bag of comics and books with him.
History: Sam was growing up with his family and lived a happy, normal and carefree life. They were visiting (The state we decide to base our story round xD) When the Walkers killed his mother first, then his father. He fled into the wilderness and stayed hidden in a garage when Ashelin found him when she passed through the city. Being the only survivor he'd seen in days he follows her, much to her annoyance. However he soon bonds with her and the pair keep each other sane as they travel the dying world.
Current situation: He found Ashelin wandering the town and took an instant like to her. He felt she could protect him from the Walkers and decided it was safest to stay with her.
