Biography
NO MATTER WHAT, YOU FIND SOMETHING TO FIGHT FOR

Twenty years after the spread of a deadly fungus, ruthless survivor Joel is tasked with smuggling a young girl named Ellie to a group known as the Fireflies, in hopes of finding a cure to the fungus and prevent further infection. Together, Joel and Ellie have traveled across the country where they faced both infected people and other ruthless survivors.

THE LEGACY OF JOEL & ELLIE
 * The Last of Us

Opening
Joel is seen talking to Tommy in Jackson County. During their conversation, one of the other residents of Jackson runs into the room and tells them that they believe the Cordeceps may have evolved as there are reports of many people fighting against strange creatures that are neither Clickers nor Bloaters. Joel and Tommy get up to investigate, but Joel tells Tommy to watch Ellie while he checks it out. After Joel leaves, Tommy goes to check on Ellie, but finds that she left with Joel.

Rival
Name: John Marston

Reason: Joel and Ellie are making their way through the Rival Arena when Joel sees Marston. Marston believes that Joel may have abducted Ellie and tries to shoot Joel, but Ellie throws a brick at him. Without trying to reason with Marston, Joel tells Ellie to stand back as they prepare to fight.

Connection: Joel has many things in common with John Marston. Both characters have lost a daughter and come from Texas, both live in harsh times where sometimes they must act outside the law for survival (Joel needing to survive in post-apocalyptic 2033, and Marston living in the Old West, among many law-breaking gunslingers who'd kill him in cold blood), both have done immoral things in the past (Joel having "been on both sides", indicating he has been a Hunter, and Marston having been an Outlaw prior to his quest for redemption), and finally, both attempt to rid the world of a virus which turns people into zombies (or makes them behave like zombies), this being the main plots of both The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.

Ending
TBA

Gameplay
Unlike most characters, Joel & Ellie are a two-in-one character and fight together, with Joel doing most of the heavy hitting as Ellie occasionally jumps in for support. They mainly make use of melee weapons, bombs, and a few firearms from The Last of Us. Both characters would be seen on-screen together at all times.

Trivia

 * Joel & Ellie are the first true characters that fight as a team. Unlike Daxter and Clank, who ride on their partners' shoulder or back, respectively, Ellie will follow Joel in the same manner as Dusty follows Kat.
 * Also, unlike Dusty, Ellie fights alongside Joel.
 * Joel & Ellie's Clicker makes them the second characters that can summon a support character that lingers, the first being Ratchet & Clank with Mr. Zurkon.
 * However, they are the first characters who can summon a support character that will not disappear unless attacked or manually removed.
 * The Clicker that Joel & Ellie summon will also attack them, making Joel & Ellie the first characters who can be harmed by their own moveset.
