The Walking Dead - Northwards

Mr Ozias said
I prefer older character because they are more likely to have more of a wisdom sort of view, of course not all older character will have the trait but giving a 20 year old tons of wisdom seems a bit more unrealistic to me. Just my opinion though.

I prefer them too because they have more life experience and their background can be more detailed.
For example my character:
Been in school: Basic knowlege.
Been in USSR Army: Basic weapon knowledge, survival skills.
Been in university: Technological knowledge, social skills.
Worked in a bank: Technological knowledge, social skills.
Worked as a teacher: Ultra social skills.
Did range shooting: Better weapon knowledge.
Lived in post-apocalypse Woodbury, GA.: knowledge about Lurkers.

The Walking Dead - Northwards

Karlis had arrived in Washington only a few days before, but he was already doging bullets of untrained idiots with military gear... If there was one thing he was afraid other than Lurkers, it was pepole who couldn't even shoot straight. He gripped his 5.7 USG tightly and waited for the moment when he would hear the *clang*.
*Clang*... *Clang*...
*Bang* *Bang*
"And lock n' load!"
He saw two men: one seemed like a chief, other student, both had AR-15's. Cheif was dead (headshot), but the student was alive (for a moment)...
"WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME??!" - Karlis yelled.
"Dad..." - Student replied.
"WHAT?!!" - Karlis yelled again.
"Dad..." - Student said to himself.
He understood: Father and son wanted to feed the rest of their family, even if it costed them their humanity. How tragic. Now the kid wanted more sand for his fathers hourglass, Karlis wasn't giving any.
*Bang*
He had ran into enought clusterf*cks to stop caring about whom he kills, if they didn't have "friendly" written on their faces, bullet to the head - thats the least he could do.
Gunfire was like dinner bell for lurkers, bad thing was the ammount of gunfire each day made Bagdad seem like Helsinki. He checked his car, it was full of bullet holes. He then checked himself for wounds, he was fine, but the backpack took the shots. Everything was ruined: food, medicine and electronics . He dropped the backpack, took the chiefs empty AR (improvised bat) and went into an alley climbing up an fire ladder. He broke into an apartament checking it for any biters, it was clear. It was cold outside and he decided to spend the night there. He pushed the sofa in front of the front door and then checked the window.
((Best picture i could get))
3 more minutes and he would have became a walking dead, he tried not to think about it. He layed on the bed hoping his luck wouldn't make anymore jokes.
