Let's all be honest here.
-Crying in a corner
RE: Your Apocalypse Skills - Jade Harley - 09-29-2017
Suit yourself, mister Australian!
RE: Your Apocalypse Skills - Omni - 09-29-2017
-Really calm most of the time.
-Not-entirely-unfit
-I have a large store of fat, so I could survive a long time on nothing. I once fasted for two weeks and I was totes fine and had plenty more fat to burn.
-For a big guy I'm pretty quiet. I walk around on tiptoes a lot.
-Diplomatic.
-Resilient physically. I get bitten by a lot of things and bashed by a lot of things.
-Resilient mentally.
-I don't enjoy moping around, I always have to find some positive or constructive method or viewpoint because to do otherwise is just pointless self-indulgence.
-I will eat anything put in front of me. Hate being wasteful, even if it's gross.
-I have a history of doing stupid/brave things. Not much scares me you when you're not afraid of death.
Cons:
-See above. It might be heroic but I probably wouldn't last long for that exact reason.
-My cardio game is weak.
-I have pretty much 0 knowledge of cars or other applicable technical skills.
-My long hair and beard would be a hindrance unless I decided to cut them.
-Never fired a gun before.
-Some fucked up joints and limbs, particularly my right arm which does not suffer repetitive tasks well without swelling up.
RE: Your Apocalypse Skills - The Vision - 09-29-2017
+Took so many martial arts, particularly in one that usually isn't considered a martial art but I do (fencing (IT'S A SPORT THAT EMULATES FIGHTING OKAY WE CONSIDER KENDO A MARTIAL ART) (i did kendo too))
+Extremely loyal. If I betray you, you've consistently been a horrible person for weeks on end and everyone's doing it.
+Will occasionally say something super intelligent at just the right moment, especially if for some reason our apocalypse has something to do with riddles
+Surprisingly good shot for an amateur
+Blood and gore fine
+Very good at listening to instructions
+Deceptively strong for someone so out of shape, can lift very heavy things
+Very good with kids - like, I haven't met a child between 2-8 who hasn't liked me
+Is a minority, so is likely to stay alive for a long time to avoid accusations of whitewashing
-Not particularly good at any of the martial arts
-Still out of shape
-Low pain tolerance
-Constantly sleepy
-A very confused and oblivious person
-Doesn't actually have any real skills that would help in an apocalypse
-Can't even tie a knot that well without help
