Well, I'm good with firearms. I can shoot pretty accurately, and hunting for food or using firearms for self defense isn't a problem. I have several of my own and fair amount of ammunition. I can also fix and build things, although I'm nowhere near where I should be if it came down to a survival situation. My biggest gripe is that I'm crap when it comes to growing things, and that's what would be extremely important in an apocalyptic scenario. Sure I could bring home a deer or an elk when I'm lucky, but I couldn't grow a potato or turnip for shit. Every time I've tried to grow something it either gets burned to death by the sun, or I over water it and it starts molding.

I've got a plan for any apocalypse there is, and playing videogames has taught me everything about zombies. I can climb too

I'm a German who can properly pronounce a "th" (voiced and unvoiced) as well as word-final voiced consonants (dog, not dock). That makes me nearly unique...

...

in other words, no, I can't do jack shit. I'm already a waste of air, space and time - the end of the world would do me and everyone around me only good.

Martial arts training. Plus, I have experience handling firearms and teaching others how to.

I have a rudimentary understanding of the human body (pre-med), I guess that's better than nothing.

Oh, I also know first aid so I can keep you alive until the ambu...
You know what? Scratch that last one.

I'd be decent henchmen. Henchmen? Henchman?
Whatever, I'm an armorer and a soldier. So my special skill is to be killed by the protagonist I guess.
Unless I turn out to be on the good team, in which case I'll probably jump in front of a bullet for someone. I'm not sociable/good looking enough to be either a protagonist or antagonist.
I think the cannon fodder types should form a union actually.

pretty handy with a sword, can hot-wire a car and pick a fair few amount of locks. good to know a mis-guided youth was helpful for something

I HAVE THE POWER!

And well I have lots of random knowledge that could help, I'm a quick learner, charismatic, played enough Fallout to know how to survive and I have the will to live.

Yes.

My skill is my crippling OCD that won't allow me to not alphabetize things.

This will come in handy when I'm conscripted as the first post-apocalyptic librarian.

I'm good with guns. Aiming, operating, reloading, cleaning, ect. As long as it isn't a gun you had to take a class on before you can use it. (M4 is a perfect example of that) And yes I know you have to take a class on gun safety before you can have a gun permit. I mean that you need to take several classes just to learn how to attach a stock.

Other than that... People tend to like me before they even really know me. I guess I could be a decent group leader.
