So my goal here is to run a mock game of my concept to maybe give a better feel for the idea. So the world is as described in the concept section, for character creation fill out the following
Persona:(this is the kind of person you are; couragous, cowardly, psycotic, friendly, etc choose only 1)
Occupation:(this is what you did before the world fell apart choose 1)
Specialties (these are things you specialize in since the world fell apart; hunting, barricading, stealth, weapon making, etc choose 3)
Sex:
Age:
tell me a little bit about your character. I'm open to many ideas of characters each section will get a benefit of some sort so we will discuss characters for a little bit and then as soon as 1 character is ready we can begin and other will come into play as their characters are created.
I like it. So I've been
I like it. So I've been thinking of a good survivors nest and came up with this for where I want to start the first survivors. It was a bank vault in New York, because of it's thick walls it was protected during the Overgrowth and has become home to a total of 4 survivors with a max of idk 10? JJ is one of these 4 survivors, which also include the owner of the bank, Richard, (an elder rich male who believes everyone owes him their lives) who had opened up the vault as a safe house, Maria (an active ready to help women in her late 20's good at following directions but indecisive alone) and Susan (5 year old girl JJ saved during the Overgrowth and has stayed by his side since.) Major starting issue for this place is food and water (obviously), law and order (what rules do we live by to survive and where do we go from here?) and defense of both the safe house and those that have to venture out for supplies.
Does this sound good? Anything else I need add or questions you may have? You'll have to workd with me on this I've never really done forum based GMing...
Doh!
While going through old posts tonight, I realized I had never responded to you about this. I'm really sorry!
"Alright folks, the first thing we gotta do is find some food and water. I'll keep an eye out for something to use as a weapon. I'm not the smartest one here, but I can crack a few skulls."
JJ Peterson
Persona: JJ is a bit dim-witted but very protective of the other survivors he has come across.
Occupation: Before the world collapsed, JJ worked as a pizza delivery man in a very rough neighborhood.
Specialties: Fighting with improvised weapons, driving
Sex: Male
Age: 20
JJ grew up working on cars with his father, but he was unable to get a job as a mechanic because of the economy. He took what work he could and that meant being a pizza delivery driver and anything else he could find to make a little money. He lived and worked in a rough neighborhood, and he can still tell the details of every single time he was held up. Plus a few where he got the better end of the deal. He also broke up a few domestic disputes and other fights he encountered while out on delivery (or even just in the store). Being a mechanic in a world where having a working vehicle is extremely valuable has made most survivors he has encountered at least tolerate his boorish nature.
