[Totts]

Is there anything I should fix?

Details are important, and they don't have to be a lot, specifics help. I didn't mean to run Ivy off, I wasn't trying to be mean or anything. She could have just picked a bow type, and then just said "assorted" for arrows. That would have been fine. Sven, you do probably need to figure out water bottle sizes and how much is in each. I was kind of impressed with your basic items, actually. Fats, protiens, carbs, calories, the iodine I could have applauded for. I think the throwing knives aren't probably the greatest for zombies, but they work for other purposes. The kukri is good, and multi-functional. The pistol is good, and with only 8 rounds, I see no problem. It's probably an emergency/last ditch item.I'm assuming the nuts are probably the small snack size Planters nuts type? Probably similar for the dehydrated strawberries?

The throwing knives were simply to make my character kind of stand out. Like michonne in the walking dead has a katana. It's like symbolism type stuff. and for the nuts, I was thinking a little bigger, but that's okay.

Weapon of Choice: Usually his bare hands.
Equipment: A couple of cans of food & some clean water, he has a change of clothes & a lighter and a pack of cigarettes

What is your water stored in? What size cans, and what are their contents?
How did he come to be a survivor in this situation, especially unarmed, with minimal gear?

I figured something like that on the knives, they're good for taking small game, cutting, and intimidation for sure. Go with bigger nuts if you like. Amount doesn't make a big difference to me. Just specifically what ya have on hand.

everyone wants bigger nuts but you have to deal with what you've got, that's life.

I like Ellie for the most part. What size bottle of Mt Dew we talking... is it Mt Dew or water? Or... does she drink Mt Dew like water? (like I do... :P )
I think for the most part it works. Paintball guns aren't very effective against zombies, but they're great for marking buildings, vehicles, targets, and so on. Mace balls might be useful for living targets and wild animals. I would recommend at least some basic melee weapon, like a bat or something.

Also, kudos for the birth control pills. They'll run out unless you can get to a pharmacy. I do like the treehouse idea. If she can keep quiet and is careful, she doesn't run the risk of zombies ramping up to it.

When you get some time, PM me, so we can talk about her dad.

Thank you! and is it just me or does anyone else wonder what would happen during the apocalypse for the women's time of the month? and I'll PM you now.

[Tearstone]

You're not the only one. I did add a small recommendation Libby. I would say add a melee weapon of some kind.

Name: Sophia MarchessaAge: 22Height: 5’4Build: Very slimAppearance: Family: Her step mother, Cecile was the only one with her when the attack hit. She is unsure about her family in other parts of the world.Personality: Haughty, snobbish and rich.Occupation Before: Does spending daddy’s money count?Notable skills: Obviously Sophia can’t do much for herself, but she can tell you in a second a fake LV from a true LV.Bio: Her father met her mother while they were both poor living in a Hispanic neighborhood in New York. Her father hit it big time, and eventually their marriage broke up from the “fast life” of women, boozing, and more women. Her father didn’t realize the mistake he made, and now pines for his ex wife, who won’t speak to him or Sophia, who has undoubtedly inherited the same lifestyle. Her father remarried Cecile, who is only a decade older than her and Sophia hates the union. Her father sent her and her step mother on a cruise to help them bond, and maybe repair the rift in their family. Which leads them to where they are today.Disability/Fear: Sophia has anorexia and is pretty afraid of everything.Weapon of Choice: She is dragging around her pepper spray and a small pistol she had tucked away in her luggage, from her father. She only has a few extra rounds though, and isn’t a good shot.Equipment: She’s wearing Loubies (which she will NOT part with), a small white dress (as seen in the picture), a leather jacket and carrying a large LV tote with her cell phone and charger, two bottles of water and her diet pills. She also found In the bottom of it a tube of lipstick, a bit of gum, and hair elastics.

Okay, most of it's good. Where is her step mom? She doesn't seem to be deceased...

What size water bottles, how much?

Also, those diet pills could be really useful. I think she might be useful for appraising certain types of goods in barter/trade. She's not as useless as she seems. As for the pistol, when you say small, do you mean "small caliber" or "small frame/compact frame"? You can have a compact frame .45 caliber for carry conceal.. Based on what you've written, I would assume something like a .22 long rifle, .25 caliber, or even a .38 caliber, but I don't want to assume.

I did some editing on my character, hope its all good now!

Paintballs don't really do damage to people... only generally if they're frozen. So um... no damage. Also, the typical load for a paintball gun is 200-250 shots... and half that is about 125. The bat, I might say leave the nails off. It weakens the bat, and can be hard to make.

Also, from Zombie Go Boom, is this test and comparison. (Nevermind the part about sticking yourself.)

[libbypt]

Ah okay, I was only trying to keep within the quota but as they aren't classed as a weapon in these conditions I guess i could use more ammo?
I forgot about the making part of the bat haha I'll do touchups on my cs now.

Zombie Go Boom are a bunch of amateurs, Kel-Tec shotgun gets their approval? THE THING JAMS MORE THAN A HOOKERS SALARY! Plus they have zero work security... Yet, a bat with spikes is good... But a bat with a chainsaw is better.

I guess I will flip a coin about that.

Edit: I used a Jordanian five piastre coin, it had two sides One was a face - The Yacht, other one was what i call the egg - asylum.

I catched the face.
