This should be interesting.

3 Ark people. 1 is a scientist who'll die if he catches a cold who makes vehicles and guns. Although since neither of you can use guns and I make my own that's not much use until we find the others.
Another is an engineer who's good at hacking or reading secret messages ( Not sure if you mean computer code or book code or both. ) in a world that likely has an extremely limited number of electronics or people writing coded messages.

And a soldier who knows how to kill and is an expert in ballistic weaponry.

You're awfully confrontational about other people's characters.

[Patrick Hunt]

Huh it's not confrontation that's just what the characters are. I can't think of a way to make it more polite.

1 is a scientist with 2 hp meaning any minor wound is liable to kill him and makes vehicles and guns. Useful skills but not at present because I'm the only one with training to use them and I'm already armed and have skills and a trait in weapon construction and he doesn't have the tools to make a vehicle or the parts which will likely take a while to find.

The other is an engineer who can make things which again is useful, I'm not entirely sure what a skill in using inventions does and he's good at code breaking which correct me if I'm wrong, is not going to come up very often in this type of setting.

I don't see what's confrontational in an accurate description of the characters skills. Salsa's character I actually love it's quirky.

[Patrick Hunt]

Well sorry if it sounded confrontational anyway that wasn't how it was intended.

[Salsacookies]

Whenever he creates something, he actually knows how to use it, so he knows how to fire a gun he makes, how a grenade of his works, things like that. And i'm kinda thinking of this like Fallout, where there's not much stuff around to hack or decode, but it usually helps alot or avoids issues when it's around, like a hidden blueprint or code to shut down a power grid. Also, for Macguyvering, he can make anything out of anything pretty much.

[Patrick Hunt]

Huh. That skill will either be awesome or seriously OP. Because being able to instantly use anything you create as effectively as somebody trained to use it while also being able to make anything as effectively as somebody trained to make it.
And being able to make it out of anything.

Kinda renders a lot of stuff redundant. Your every kind of scientist, every kind of engineer, every king of builder, every kind of smith, every kind of soldier and much much more all rolled up into 1.
You've got 4 of my 5 skills all rolled up into 1 lol.

You can make guns and bullets as well as I can and do it far more easily and use all the weapons I can use as well as I can if you built it as well as every kind of weapon I can't use. The only thing you don't have is the S.E.R.E training because that's not built.

Although on the plus side if I give you my 2nd pistol, you dismantle and rebuild it then I don't need to worry about protecting you anymore. Could come in very useful.

[Salsacookies]

I was thinking he knew how to use it, but he didn't have that little extra stuff actual experience gave you, and it's limited to machinery like robots, guns, computers, vending machines, no medicine or chemicals, and creating or reassembling something could screw it up some making it blow up if I didn't have an exhaust pipe put in right or any other nasty stuff, and he'd need to draw up a diagram for most things to build it properly, which might take awhile, combined with making the thing

[Patrick Hunt]

I'm not entirely sure how that would work so have to wait for Smurf, knowing how to use it but not having the experience is like being half trained and I don't think we can get a +0.5.

If it's limited to electronics it also wouldn't cover guns or grenades.

[blazing glory]

So you get a dexterity bonus when taking apart old stuff, then.

Well not a dexterity bonus,cause that would make it more like a skill.

He can get rare things from stuff,if he rolls high enough then he just might get something that has no business being in the thing in the first place.

Though mainly he gets things like a fully working fusion engine in a old/wrecked car,which most of the time explodes when damaged,so it's rare to get one intact.

That sorta stuff.

[Caellath]

Basically done, barring twitchy edits. Think Don Quixote de la Mancha.

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Casslan Wehner
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Wearing a knightly plate armor set with a long, fine tabard and a frog-mouth helmet, there's little left exposed of Casslan's body itself. Under the armor, he is of above average height, blue eyes and short, shaggy burnt copper-colored hair. He has a square jaw and strong facial lines. There are two sets of lightly blue-tinted lines right above his eyebrows that violently rip open whenever he uses his powers to a great extent, revealing eyes colored blue. He can be quite heroic-looking (or foolish, depending on how you see it) while his mouth is shut and he isn't spouting chivalric nonsense.
Personal information: Born a healthy boy in times of strife, Casslan was the second child of Catherine and Maxwell Wehner, both part of a roaming convoy of survivors hellbent on surviving and salvaging anything useful they came across. Traveling mostly in pre-outbreak vehicles adapted to run either exclusively on easily-produced fuel, such as ethanol, or utilizing bi or trifuel engines, the group occasionally made camp in safe locations and began searching for both possible additions to the convoy and usable material. Several vegetables were grown using hydroponic techniques inside a few of the convoy's trucks, jobs were distributed as well as possible - though favoritism existed and was hard to avoid - and the whole thing was for all purposes a tiny town on all-terrain wheels and threads.

Growing in such an environment, Casslan quickly took a liking for anything mechanical; not only he was happy to help his father do routine maintenance on engines, he also spent part of his free time on it as well. His remaining free time was often filled with reading, since he loved books. Medieval fantasy and History were his favorites themes and he sometimes dreamed about a world filled with heroism, chivalry and adventures less focused on finding enough supplies to keep a caravan running and more on fighting evildoers to bring peace and prosperity to all.

All children tend to grow out of their dreams, and Casslan was no different as childhood gave place to teenage years. Not too long ago, the young man was already carrying out more difficult and dangerous assignments for the convoy. In one of those scavenging runs, disaster struck and he was unknowingly exposed to the AEV. It didn't take long for the first signs something was wrong started to show; he was struck by terrible headaches, objects began flying to his hand and floating around him and blood began to pour from his eyes and nose. Knowing he would only cause his family trouble from then on prompted Casslan into making a difficult choice; leaving a recorded message which explained the reason for his departure, he left the convoy during the night with a modified Harley Davidson he had helped fix and supplies to last until he found a way to live his new life as a freak.

Unfortunately, road trips in a post-apocalyptic wasteland are not nearly as romantic as expected. After a few days of travel and extremely bad luck that got him into storms of dust, regular storms and all-around weather hate, Casslan had only managed to get extremely ill thanks to his body's reaction to the mutation and a slowly dwindling number of supplies. Solitude and a virus messing with his brain didn't do him well and the fact the first building he found to hide from the sun after several days which had some water stashed somewhere was a museum didn't help things. Delusional and with far more than a few screws loose by then, he saw that as a sign.

After looting the area filled with modern reproductions of late-medieval to early modern weaponry, he dubbed himself a knight and set forth on his trusty steed (his bike) to right all wrongs and ensure mankind would return to its former glory, assisting in any efforts focused on rebuilding civilization in an orderly and effective manner. He has been doing exactly that ever since; though an eccentric loony, he is fairly friendly and prone to helping honest and good people in exchange for little to no reward.

-Evasion: you don't have to backflip in order to evade attacks.
-Melee Combat: have at thee, scum!
-Psionics: magic, except not really.
-Repair and Improvement: though he has spent some good years of his life messing with engines and mechanisms and, more recently, knight's equipment, Casslan's skill so far only lends itself to repairing and occasionally adding simple upgrades to his gear.
Perks:
-Endurance Perk (Knightly Resilience): whenever hit, roll endurance; success halves damage.
Profession: Highway Errant Knight (Aevae)

-Cotton shirt and pants underneath armor and aketon.
-Lances x2: very long wooden, steel-tipped lances that can be broken down in three pieces for ease of transport. One is usually assembled while the rest isn't.

-Great lance x1: a very long and modernized version of a great lance made in its majority of lightweight steel. Can obviously bend and be damaged depending on the target, but it's harder for that to happen.
-Arming sword: a weapon balanced for both thrusting and slashing, fit for fighting on foot and mounted charges.
-Kite shield: it's a large, roughly kite-shaped shield made of wood with a painted metal surface. It is white with four dark gray stylized blue-iris human eyes running from top to bottom.
