Zombie Apocalypse: The Sign-up

[Menarker]

I got some of the worst possible traits for a Zombie Team Survival Genre.



Name: Ivan
Description: 26 years old, 5'11, wirey build with short curly black hair. Wears glasses and hearing aids. Always carries an umbrella and a long jacket with a hood.

Skills:

Agility: Slightly above average top speed. But VERY HIGH agility as in being able to pivot and turn and dodge with the grace of a dancer/martial artist.

Height/Reach: LONG ARMS and a slightly above average height! Reach is great for grabbing things normally out of range, melee attacks and that sort of thing.

Slim flexible build: He can squeeze through some narrow gaps pretty easily, although some places he can't squeeze through. He can also stretch his limbs to the point where he can kick as high as his head.

Tough bones: Can withstand battering and impacts without too much problems. His blows such as pushing or punching are quite strong.

Slightly above average stamina: While he can't do intense activities for very long, he can do average activities for longer than most people.

Strength: While not terribly strong compared those who still work out, he has strength far far above normal for his weight and definately has enough to contribute effectively to moving things and does very well with a melee weapon.

Trustworthy Adult Spirit: Easily earns the trust of well-meaning adults and elderly people whom are willing to lend him the most basic of aid and support and can generally negotiate for help. Has trouble dealing with the purely selfish and arrogant though. Generally, to people who genuinely pride themselves on other people's happiness and morality, he easily makes them feel like he's someone you'd want to help.

Silent Movement: Is light on his feet. Combined with his agility, many people commented on how he seems to be in two places at once.

Raven Vision: Has a peculiar talent for spying shiny or unusual objects. List of objects he has found before include a lost diamond ring, money, lost jeweleries, and other such things. Also has an amazing eye for seeing movement, even from far off distance where he has trouble with detail.

Intelligent: A university student with some courses in computer, philosophy, psychology, literature, anthropology and a few others. Can grasp abstract concepts fairly well. Very good reading skills and noted for certain analytical abilities.

Money: While not millionaire quality rich, he has been saving up for a place of his own, so he has enough to buy some luxuries, especially in an emergency.

Friends with animals: Cats seem to downright adore him and some other wild animals like crows, some dogs and even skunks feel quite at peace with him as long as he doesn't approach too closely. Injured or trained animals might behave viciously though...

Genre Savvy/Trivia: Is an avid trope reader and knows a fair bit about a variety of topics.

Computer/Technical skill: Average at using computers for the most part, but has good google-fu skills.

Martial Arts?: Has been enrolled to several martial arts courses for a few months, so he has learned the basics of a few. (Sword, staff, kenpo, boxing) But nothing terribly useful against anyone with more training.

Organizational skills and Spatial-Vision: He can pack an incredible amount of items in small amount of space. He's the guy you always want to have packing your suitcase.

Huge Bladder: He can go almost 22 hours without a toilet break.



Flaws:

Hearing loss. Has severe problems with hearing and thus struggles to understand people with unusual accents (including asians), weak voices, noisy environment, extremely high pitch sounds and multiple people talking together. This also prevents him from using phones or walkie talkies of any kind except in the most optimal of conditions and frequently relies on someone translating for him or needing some sort of writing. (On the plus side, he can turn off his hearing aids to muffle any sounds he want to NOT hear.) If his hearing aids get lost or destroyed, he's practically deaf for all intent and purpose.

Glasses: Is somewhat nearsighted. While he isn't terribly bad with his glasses, he does suffer quite a bit of blurriness without them when looking at far off things, although he can easily see shapes and move around with no issues. Basically he has trouble with distant things, but can read as well as anyone else.

Bad Memory: Short term memory sucks serious ass. Took him 5 years to learn his classmates names in high school. By then, it was pointless. Basically, his recall tend to be very much delayed and will sometimes require him to see a visual cue before several paragraphs worth of info will flood into his head.

Fear of water: Due to how much he relies on his hearing aids, he will practically recoil at any situation where he has to get wet or downright dirty for fear of destroying them. He can swim fairly well if he desperately needs to, but unless someone can hold his hearing aids, then he's basically trading away one of his senses. Tries to mitigate this with his umbrella and always wearing a jacket or some sort of wide-brim hat. His fear is more motivated on how expensive and time-consuming it is to repair his hearing aids, so in a life-death situation, he can get past it, but he'll definately waste tons of time looking for any possible alternatives.

Fear of blood/gore: Has never felt good around excessive gore. A paper cut won't disturb him. But anything like a gash or enough to make a pool will start to make him sick to his stomach.

Fear of height: He gets nervous around any situation where he's liable to fall to his death or severe injuries. This only really applies to unsecure locations. Buildings with good railings and protection from falling doesn't trigger this from him, but he's still unwilling to lean his head over the edge of a rooftop or window.

Unpopular among his age: Does not tend to make friends with people close to his age or younger, especially the ones who like to be reckless or party. Only the select few. He is basically an old man in a young man's body.

Allergies/Asthma: Bad with dust/dirt and some plants. While he is good at running short distance really swiftly, long distance running will leave him extremely winded.

Anti-Gunmanship: Lives in a place that outlaws guns. No experience with them except for the Light Gun from Nintendo.

Cannot handle roller-coaster-ish speed. Riding in a car going 100+ish miles per hour, especially one that jerks around a lot gives him chest pains and feeling of weakness.

Slightly Timid: When dealing with living conscious beings, he doesn't like to provoke people and gets nervous and anxious when people start getting aggressive...

Hot Blooded: Once it get into a fisticuff though, he tends to react viciously as a self defense and doesn't bother listening to reason other than his own survival or their own surrender/defeat.

Occasionally Has No Indoor Voice: When he gets worried, nervous, excited or tries to explain something to someone, his voice may start LOUD AND GETS LOUDER PRACTICALLY EVERY THREE SECONDS, RIVALING EVEN OPERA SINGERS WITHOUT EVEN TRYING!!! Seriously, it's like a reflex from not being able to hear exactly how loud his voice is.



Items: Umbrella, Jacket, Hearing Aids (and 2 spare batteries, each lasting 2 weeks.), a backpack, a laptop. Wallet with some cash and bank cards.
