Your usefulness in the coming apocalypse...

[Technocrat]

Congratulations! The apocalypse has happened. We're unsure of the means, but from what we can tell, it looks like a mixture of Asia going to nuclear war, Mt St Helens erupting, the polar ice caps suddenly spreading to cover a quarter of the world, wrath of the Greek and Norse gods at the same time, and AIDS. Gee, what are the chances?

Anyhow, you're part of the lucky 10% or so who've survived the disaster. Unfortunately, supplies are scarce, and you're going to have to prove just how useful you are to the post-apocalypse community. What skills/possessions do you have to help humanity get along?

Myself, I'm a woodworker for fun. Granted, I mostly build benches and clocks, but the same theories/buzzy cutty implements can be applied for building houses and useful things. I'm also a sailor, if anyone with fishing skills wants to join me on my boat to go catching two-headed fish, mermaids, or whatever this apocalypse has given us. Plus, I've dabbled in making clothes, but once again, maybe not in keeping with the whole theme - latex/leather fetish clothing, etc.

Possession-wise, I have a big box of rockets upstairs. You never know when you need rockets, whether it's signalling people, or teasing the mutant dogs (I think that's what they were?) roaming the neighbourhood.

I can fish. I was raised in the country, so I learned survival skills at a young age. Tracking, growing, fishing, finding food, identifying plants, and most importantly, building fire for your rockets.

I'm also familiar with most ballistics, can make my own ammunition, can craft my own bow & arrow (very proud of this actually). So I'm kind of a supply type dude.

The apocalypse will need physics undergrads right?

 

[Jedamethis]

Well, I'm healthy, have all my limbs, no disabilities or anything, so I guess I could learn to do whatever I need to.

 

[MCDeltaT]

I can tell jokes.............

 

[Daniel Laeben-Rosen]

Well, I'm a great cook, so when we all turn to cannibalism for survival I could probably think of some fantastic recepies.

In a nuclear war almost all those skills are gonna count for shit.

The witty fat guy who keeps morale high. Besides that, I'm good at organizing and making sure that my group is well-supplied. Any other skills I'd be able to learn quickly.

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

I also have [though they may be not to a high standard] woodworking skills/knowhow.
Im also generally a very calm person, and i suppose my mindset is good enough to warrant my survival, i guess i could be a psychiatrist or something maha.

...im also a vegetarian, so i will be the last to fall into canabalism
...or more likely, the first to be eaten. sadface.

In truth? I have no useful skill that doesn't involve a computer what so ever, and I'm sure there are many others who are better at it.
I am however very resourceful and willing to turn my hand to anything.

Oh oh! I just thought, I can climb, certified and everything. So yeah I can do that.

Then what skills, pray tell, do you believe would be good to have after a nuclear war?

 

[Nemesis729]

Im strong and 6'2, I geuss I could lift stuff lol, Plus I know how to fish

 

[Bootscooper]

I'm pretty useless, but since I'm a girl I guess I could have children? Other than that, I dunno, I'm pretty smart so I guess I could teach myself how to do something useful.

I'm not claiming to have any skills that could be applied to a nuclear apocalypse scenario, I'm merely pointing out that most of the things you've said there wouldn't be any help.

 

[oreopizza47]

I'm a fast learner? Plus I always happen to be crazy prepared and have an almost OCD-like level of perfectionism? So the things I learn to do would either always be nearly perfect or result in me crying in the corner in the fetal position because I couldn't figure it out... hopefully the former.

That's why I included so many other disastrous causes for our terrible situation! Plus, it's a nuclear war somewhere else, we just get the secondary effects. Or maybe Odin is keeping the fallout away from us so as to have more fun with our suffering Ragnarok, minus the distraction of fallout.

 

[REAPER5594]

I'm good at following directions and learning usefull skills very fast, so I can potentially become fairly usefull fairly quickly, plus I'm good at relaying info so we can teach future generations. I can also remember very many books/stories, making me a decent child care-giver(or at least, child-entertainer).
I also have the not-so-superpower of unnoticability, to the point of being invisable, a skill very usefull for a scout and hunter. I have a very good memory, making me a potential messager. Have I proven my worth yet?

Well then they're better than nothing, are they not? But I do see your point, nobody wants to eat two headed fish, or mutated hare. But those already with skills will find it easier to learn new skills that relate to their previous skills.
