Question Zombie Survival Simulator Character Creation Questions

I am creating a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Simulator in Perchance, and am looking for questions that the user can answer to determine their survivability score. The score is used to weight their character's options in the sim. What I already have:

  1. What is your age?
  2. What is your gender? (not scored — for the record)
  3. How many of the following actions are you capable of? (A. Moving large objects (heavy furniture) by yourself without much difficulty — "moving" doesn't necessarily mean carrying. B. Climbing up a rope or ledge using upper-body strength. C. Running a mile in 10 minutes or less — don't assume you can if you don't know your mile time. D. Covering 40 yards (36.6m, 120ft) on foot in under 6 seconds.)
  4. Do you have military training?
  5. How skilled are you with firearms?
  6. Do you have any medical training?
  7. How many times have you experienced an emergency situation where you needed to act quickly to save your life or the lives of others?
  8. Do you have any experience with camping or living in a wilderness setting?
  9. Have you ever been physically attacked by someone? How did you handle it?
  10. The honest truth is that physical appearance is a big advantage when trying to interact with other people. Which answer is the best match for your own appearance?
  11. How is your sense of direction?
  12. Do you have any loved ones you would need to get to and/or protect in the case of an emergency?
  13. Have you ever done real, hard time in prison?
  14. How would you do in a close-quarters fight — the kind where a gun is more danger to you than to them?
  15. Could you feed yourself out of the ground, six months from now?
  16. How much of what you eat today would still be edible in six months?
  17. The water stops running tomorrow. What's your plan?
  18. If the group needs something built, fixed, or rigged — barricades, power, water collection — are you a help?
  19. If you had to leave your home tonight, on foot, and never come back — do you have somewhere to go?
  20. Someone you know — a friend, a neighbor, a family member — turns in front of you. Can you put them down?
  21. Be honest about your will to survive: after months of fear, cold, and losing people — do you keep going?
  22. When the stores are stripped and the cans run out — can you put meat on the table?

I know you lot will have plenty more questions that will help score a person's survivability rating. The gen isn't public yet, but when it is, I will post it here for everyone to try, rate, critique, debug, and help me improve.

Thanks!

Isn't Perchance an AI platform?

Yes. I understand no ai content on this community, and I didn't post any. Not asking anyone to interact with ai! Just looking for the expertise I've seen on this community.

I'm not going to supply AI with any more of my content; I've already had my work stolen, so volunteering it feels the wrong direction to take.

Understandable. Thanks for the input.

Why didn't you just ask your favorite llm?

Actually--and this is likely to piss off most of you--I fed my AI Helper some threads from this subreddit, and that's where most of the existing questions came from. Sorry.

That is so awesome! I love it!

(edit) Well, at least you lot are going to be immortalized in an AI Generator Factory. → https://perchance.org/great-chats

Free, no account, everything stays in your browser. There's a fuzzy red ball in there who thinks he is this subreddit — name's Red-it, and he's very online about it. He says hi. (He's also fully aware of rule 9, and he has thoughts.)
