In the last of us there are five stages of infection. Runner, Stalker, Clicker, Bloater or Shambler depending on location, and Rat King. It takes two days after contact via spores or bites to turn into an infected. Runners are humans who were infected for less than two weeks. They’re fast and hostile. Stalkers are humans who’ve been infected for over two weeks. They tend to hide and ambush humans, rarely making noise unless attacking, and are mainly found indoors. Clickers are humans who’ve been infected for a year. They’re completely blind but have great hearing, using clicking noises from their voice as echolocation. Their eyes are covered in hardened fungi, so they have to be headshotted twice most times to die. Bloaters and Shamblers are humans who have been infected for several years. Bloaters can throw sacks of mycotoxins, while Shamblers explode mycotoxins upon dying. Both are very large and bloated, the hardened fungi covering their bodies making them very hard to kill. In the Last of Us, there are multiple factions. The Fireflies: A faction that was fighting against FEDRA, but after losing Ellie, who is immune to the infection, and their leader Marlene dying, the faction fell apart. But they are now rebuilding themselves in Santa Barbra. Jackson Community: A friendly self-sustaining faction of survivors, ran by Maria and her husband Tommy Miller, who was originally in the Fireflies, but had left after some time. They run a hydroelectric dam, providing power for the town. They often scout the place for infected and kill them to make the place safer, and aren’t hostile to strangers. However Tommy leaves Jackson after Abby, a member of the W.L.F, kills Joel, Tommy’s brother. FEDRA: Name stands for “Federal Disaster Response Agency.” They are the main authority over the U.S, but have been overthrown in Seattle. W.L.F: Name stands for “Washington Liberation Front,” also referred to as “wolves.” They are a paramilitary faction based in Seattle, Washington. Their base is at a football stadium repurposed for its many members. Their leader is Isaac. This faction is violent, and doesn’t allow their soldiers to leave. Right now they are at war with the Seraphites, who the W.L.F refer to as “Scars,” after a peace treaty was broken. The W.L.F had even kidnapped and killed their leader, The Prophet, however the war remains raging. Seraphites: This faction is a primitivist cult. Their leader is a woman known as “The Prophet,” who believes that the infection was a punishment to humanity for its sins of relying on technology, and now preaches her ways of living off the land as humanity was meant to. This faction has its own prayers, one created by The Prophet being: “The world is not in balance, but I have done my part to right it. You have led me through the storm, now I must rest. May the current be calm, may you guide me home.” The Seraphites don’t use items created before the pandemic, however their soldiers have permission to use “old world” items such as guns. The Seraphites live on an island that was created by Seattle getting flooded, the island only reachable by boat. However the Seraphites still venture out to Seattle, also having taken over certain areas of the city. They’re seen as brutal by many, as they sometimes preform rituals on wolves (W.L.F members), which consisted of disemboweling and then hanging their bodies with nooses. They try to justify their actions with The Prophet’s teachings, despite such things never being mention in the sacred texts of The Prophet. Rattlers: This faction is a militaristic gang of slavers that reside in Santa Barbara, California. They tend to chain up infected and use them as guard dogs, while survivors they find are turned into slaves. They’re based in an Oceanside resort turned slave labor camp. If slaves try to escape, they tie them to beams over by the beach, leaving them to die from exposure to the elements. They often attack the slaves but don’t kill them, like shooting them in the legs to prevent running. The leader of the Rattlers is unnamed/unknown.

Every bad feeling, your palms sweating, your heart racing, they're all signs you're actually stronger.
