PROS: Trained in Tae Kwon Do (although im not quite sure thats going to do much good against zombies), great with people, born leader, I eat often but barely eat anything, I'm knowledgeable (read and own books on survival, both in general and zombie-related), I'm not an idiot (which in todays world not many people can say and it be true), I can sing (which brings up the spirits of you and the people around you), I've already got a team assembled to escape from a zombie horde, I live in a relatively rural area, and probably my greatest strength is that now for some strange reason, I don't mentally process ANYTHING. Like, I can hear and understand stuff, but i dont feel it. My uncle died this valentine's day (yeah wonderful day to die), and when my mom told me i was like "oh... mkay." I never did cry... I think shooting former people in the face and watching the gore and the blood everywhere, hearing the screams of distant people, watching people being gutted and eaten, yeah that stuff, I think I'll be not fazed much.




CONS: I haven't even touched any object more deadly than a machete (other than some power saws), physical activity's just not my thing, I'm pretty weak, mentally I'm prepared, but my team really has no supplies... crap better start..., I've got long hair (which I can shave if necessary) and baggy clothes, which I should do something about. Im about to get a new wardrobe, remember to get tight pants..., I dont get angry easily, but when something does tick me off, I sort of enter this berserk state where I hurt people and break things and shout until my voicebox implodes... but only when I'm angry. I'm not THAT old, so people might not take me seriously, which just might activate the latter con.

Pros: Accomplished melee fighter(12 years of training in swordfighting), i'd say little or no fear for death(faced it once), high endurance(i can fight until im almost unconscious), some fist fighting skills, above average strength and dexterity. Can remain calm in bad situations. Also im quite intelligent(thats what most my friends say :P ). Some survival and driving skills too.

Cons: Rather huge ego/pride sometimes make me do foolish things, i can be rather harsh and cruel. Only moderate shooting skills :/, but i think my melee skills compensate the matter. I have no idea of threating wounds, except for basics; cant swim very well(i hate water), and im some kind of hothead.


P.S. I dont know if this is a Pro or Con but im always looking for a challenge, :/ . Again its probably becouse of my ego/pride.

Pros: I'm in really good shape. I have a strong mental and emotional attitude. I'm very well trained to use firearms, blades and my body. I'm intelligent. I do parkour, so escape is easy. I'm very aware and cautious. I can keep myself entertained for hours at a time with the simplest things. I'm very stealth. I have high endurance, and my pain tolerance is pretty high.

Cons: Fairly anti-social. Apathetic, which I guess is also a pro. Due to my high metabolism, I eat often and need to eat often. My sight is poor, as is my depth perception. I'm slightly curious, which can be very bad in certain situations. I tend to think to hard about things.

Pros. U.S. Army Infantry and all that goes with being one that was squared away enough to go to the cool schools. Spent way to much time in Iraq and saw some way %$&ed up shit.

Cons. I could use better people skills. I smoke too much. I tend to get pissed easy. I don't like whiners or people that cry about stuff. I guess you could just say I have a bad case of PTSD.
