Before we can RP with you, you need to make sure you have your profile approved by me or a VC, until then you're not really aloud to post your character in the RP section.
Just looking at your inventory, a hundred rounds for a handgun is quiet a lot for one person, wouldn't you agree? The normal sidearm can vary between 6-12 shots, say you have 12-clip, that's roughly eight clips with two left over. If that was a 6-clip, you'd have way more clips than that. The hunting rounds are okay, but I'm asking you to not have so much sidearm ammunition, because with two guns that's still quiet a lot. Say you have 8 clips, half for each gun that's 4. 4 clips holds 48 rounds and that's 48 rounds per gun. Lets say we cut that in half so you have 2 clips per gun. Or hell I'll even agree to three.

Or hell I'll even agree to three. i figured the lack of food and common gear made up for it. I may have a ton of loose rounds, but one clip, a small amount of bolt action single rounds, and crude hand made armor.

I read your first post as well. And you listed a lot of items that are not in your inventory. And the items, and your bio, have unrealistic notions in it. No sane person will teach a three year old to weld. It is dangerous for a kid. I can allow the four year old riding a horse thing, but you need to up the welding age and forging age.
Also the items you had in your post, the lance and the cross, seem kind of unrealistic as well. You're a farm boy, not a crusader. You did not add the fact that you have the lance, cross, flags, and armor in your inventory, so if someone looks at your profile and sees that you don't have them, this problem gets put unto me. I'm hesitant about letting you have the cross, but I will consider you having a lance, even though it is unrealistic.

Hahaha
The character is me, the bio is MY life. My uncle owned a water truck company. I was under the truck at 2 watching the weld, after a year of watching I did my own bead.
I also have no lance. I have a cross (stolen from a church). I will do a total overhaul and fix everything. Consider the post moot for now.
Also, in my life I played tag with cattle prods, have been thrown 23 times by horses (the last time at 14). I can adjust it, but it's just my life story man.

I understand it is your life, but think about it from other people's point of view. The goal is too not put your own interesting life in there, but put yourself in someone else's shoes, in this Apocalypse. How would normal people do all this at that young age? I'm not saying you don't have to not do it at a young age, but that's too young for almost everyone man. All I'm asking is that you push the age up some. I thank you for being so cooperative, normally I get the people who try to argue against me, the Captain, when i ask them to change something in their profile. It gets old and I'm thankful you broke that cycle of arguing with people.

Would you want to throw ages out there? I was my lead robotics welder in high school, and I made hand crafted weapons from ingots and scrap from years.
Want to come together and say let me list everything I would start with, and you trim the fat and clear cut my bio to work better, as well as my inventory.
And a hundred rounds is half a day at the shooting range. gonk

How about start the welding age at 6 or 7 and you can start forging at around 13-14? That's still young, but it's more sane.
Please list everything your character starts with and I'll go through with you and fix up what we can.

And more importantly, it is too important to put myself in there. Should the zombies start to kill, I could be first infected or killed before it is know. I feel this may be one of the few times that I will KNOW I am in the zombie apocolypse.

Alright boss. That is what I started with to build the character you see in the camp grounds, with some left overs.

Alright then, then separate the items what your guy has on you, and the items you have stashed, so we don't make assumptions that your horse came from planet Krypton like Superman.
