I plan to do a Post modern situation and it will be set on earth, choose any name or job you want, within reason.
It will be set in 2230 btw


Righto before i write up the first part ill need some character entries but i only have room for 4/5 people.
please layout your entry something like this:

Char name:

job: (any within reason, though think creativly, it is the future after all.)

Description of appearance:

Personality:

WS (wepon skill):
BS (balistic skill):
S (strength):
T (toughness):
W (willpower):
A (agility):
Fate points (max 3): (1 fate takes up 2 points)
F (fellowship

starting item/wepon (within reason): eg. knife or medkit

wepons and such like will be aquired as the adventure goes on so keep track of them.
I will keep counts of wounds, and hitpoints and wealth.
any qestions? message me if not then first 5 to apply get to be in the adventure!

EDIT: fellowship is the stat that decides how adept you are at conversing with someone and convincing them to your point of view for example, used for speach based decisions basicly.
Fate is essentialy lives for your character, you may die but you can use fatepoints as a "second chance" though obviously you have to divert from your skills to have them.
hope that makes more sense

Character name: Paul Marrow

Job: Expert programmer & Technician (Specializing in robotics)

Description of appearance:

Average height, bald, brown eyes, slim face and small frame. Age is somewhere around 25. Wears a belt with a magnetic clasp.
Accompanied by a companion robot, which in turn looks like a small ball, able to move around on it's own by rotating itself. Can physically attach itself to Paul's magnetic belt if the situation calls for it. The robot has no real personality, it's simply programmed to take orders from Paul and none else.

Personality:

Somewhat socially awkward and distrustful to most humans due to his square and strict way of thinking, he has trouble understanding them and finds them hard to read. However, he has no problems communicating to robots and AI due to said way of thinking. Awfully stubborn, will rarely leave a problem unfinished and is easily annoyed if disturbed in his work. When it comes to feelings I'd like to stress that he's not a Vulcan, however he does have trouble expressing and dealing with his feelings due to his social handicap.

Technological genius, Has little trouble understanding code and machinery. Driven by a desire for knowledge and science and is willing to take risks to get what he wants. Calculated risks, Diving into an impossible situation is just stupid.

Stats:

WS (weapon skill): 4
BS (ballistic skill): 2
S (strength): 3
T (toughness): 4
W (willpower): 9
A (agility): 5
Fate points (max 3): 2
F (fellowship): 4

Starting item:
Companion robot (Named "Five"), has many uses (It's essentially a future multi-tool), Has the shape of a small metal ball. Able to move on it's own, roughly 1½ decimeter (0.5 feet) in diameter.


Edit: Its 5 o clock and I'm bored out of my skull. Here's some random character art. Right, I think I'm done.

Tannis and luke i wil have to rush you, i am getting impatient
I want to get writing allready
and pinmissle i was originaly goint to have 6 so your fine

i can build a charecter if you so wish. provided evolution has taken place towards psionic abilities of course...

Oh, Arogon, I know this is a little bit off-topic, but just reminding you, I wrote another bit of the Zombie Apocalypse.

woop thanks skunk, and vall feel free to make a character, and psionic....?? something to do with psychic? (awful spelling.) if it is psychic then i would have to say sort of, but it has strong limitations.
And Tannis and Luke you have 2 days then i start.

psionic is a better word. and yeah i know i dont want to be OP. i just like telekeneisis mainly. no mind control or anything just flinging things about with my mind.

i will allow that but you can only lift things that your character cvould lift, cant have you flinging lorries around at the bad guys

arogon343 wrote:i will allow that but you can only lift things that your character cvould lift, cant have you flinging lorries around at the bad guys

actually i was going to have a smart but physically weak character to balance the telekinesis.

I know its way to late but I just got an idea for a character.

Name: Misty

Job: Erotic Dancer.

Appearance: Blond, long hair, slim but fit, flexible. You now a stripper XD

Personality: A bitch. Think's of only one person and that is herself. Arrogant, and full of her self. She is good at using her "assets" to get what she wants.


WS (weapon skill): 2
BS (ballistic skill):4
S (strength):7
T (toughness):1
W (willpower): 3
A (agility): 10
Fate points (max 3): 0
F (fellowship): 9

Starting Items: 20x $1 bills, Handcuffs (no key), Police hat, Whipped Cream
-----

Every story has a stripper right?!

Char name: Shard (his true name is a secret he keeps to himself)

job: escaped government psionic

Description of appearance: tall and thin. nearly gaunt. has curly blond hair and piercing blue eyes

Personality: untrusting of anyone else as his last friend sold him out to the government psionics department where they implanted him with ability boosters and tried to make him into a weapon.

he is generally cheerful though as anything is better than being stuck in with those scientists again...

WS (wepon skill):3
BS (balistic skill):6
S (strength):2
T (toughness):3
W (willpower):9
A (agility):6
Fate points (max 3): 1
F (fellowship):4

starting item/wepon (within reason): Telekinesis
he is naturally telekinetic. this was amplified by the boosters implanted in him by the government. this ability allows him to treat Willpower as Strength and to lift and throw objects at range (when thrown they count as a ballistic weapon and so are tested with ballistic skill).

he can use the boosters to temporarily increase his willpower but this causes him massive pain and can overload his nervous system causing him to black out.

he wears a suit of combat armour specially designed for psionic soldiers which he stole during his escape.

This is best idea. Cant wait to see how that whipped cream will be used.

Cant help but notice that almost all of us have made characters that are generally untrusting. This is gonna be fun.

Fail, you forgot to carry over the 1 into the hundreds place. It's 364.

364? 264? Carry the 1? I'm so confused
Make the evil maths go away!

In order for mathematics to make any sense, you need an equation.

Wait, I smell derail.

182 x 2 = 364
Not 264.
