Spoiler: The map (click to show/hide)

In the heat of the desert there is little for mere mortals. The sands are barren and dry, the rock lands are unfarmable, and the plains lack the fruits and vegetables to sustain a population. It is for this reason all of you are glad for the Master. Glad, but perhaps also annoyed at him. With his disappearance none of you have been able to sleep quite right, the air just feels wrong when he's gone. Whether you're an apprentice of his learning to control the supernatural, or one of his augmented champions, having never seen the light of battle since the before times when there were only tribes and the cities of the coasts were naught but metaphorical clay waiting to be shaped by the hands of the great ones. That is why you all gathered here on the outskirts of Buffalo's Rest packing your supplies onto the great undying elephant for travel. Soon, you shall be off to right the wrongs of that great old fool, and perhaps, you'll do some other stuff as well.

Spoiler: Story for the players. (click to show/hide)

What you know of the currently revealed areas.
In addition each of you are one of four races.
Humans:  The main population of the tribes and Buffalo's Rest. Medium Sized creatures Prone to great Ambition.
Defects:  Some of the Guard just disappears. Mostly they end up prey to slavers who sell them to merchants due to their opening of the crossings for them. The ones in Buffalo's Rest didn't. They're just like humans except tend to feel harder, and look younger than others their age and body type. Defects are all female.
Sweeps:  Sweeps are odd, they tend to be more adept at magic than other humans. Through some old tradition it's thought to be lucky if some of the ash that always coats one rubs off on you. They're also amazing Chimney Sweeps. Unlike, Defects, Sweeps are always male.
DeadlandersThe other most magically adept race in the deserts. These people tend to be grey of skin and have black markings on their face causing them to resemble skeletons. These people normally come from the Deadlands tribe, mostly on pilgrimage on their way to become the best that they can be.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name:  What you are called

Race:  Which of the above races are you?

Gender: What gender are ya?

Description:  What you look like.

Augment type:  Did the Master Augment you with Super physical abilities, or maybe you were born with supernatural powers?

Beneficial Augments:  Things that give you good things, You'll get one every level. If you're a Physical Aug you get one positive Body related Augment, If Supernatural you get one supernatural one.

Negative Augs:  The reverse of the above, getting banged up to much will get you one of these. If you have a positive Supernatural Aug you get a mental Negative Aug, If you're a physical Aug you get a Supernatural Negative.

Every level you will get a beneficial mutation that's rolled up by Piecewise's awesome Auto-Morphica.
In this game you journey to find the Master, a senile old wizard with godly powers who escaped his room and is now causing havoc in the wastes. Will you find him? Who knows, but it'll probably be fun along the way, eh?

I'm making a Kitsune. Gimme a bit.

Also question, Why metal augments? Perhaps explain that augment system better before I get around to making a character?

[WillowLuman]

PTW, maybe I can throw a sheet together at some point.

Because Mental ones tend to have to do with madness and stuff. And the Good ones only come from special things. Things I don't want to get into at the start as I'm just an ameture and I don't want to swamp myself in things to handle.

EDIT:  Also, you'd better have a damn good reason as to why you're playing a kitsune.

[~Neri]

Oooh, you mean mental, you wrote "metal."

And I was like.. Wait. Are they cyborgs?

And I do have a good reason~

I maaay actually do one of my vampire characters, although debating on yes/no for that.

Yeah, it's late here.

Anyways, unless you can provide me with a really good reason as to why your character isn't one of the races in the OP, it's not going to happen. However, If you make a Physically Augmented Character I'd be perfectly happy to actually find something to bring you closer to what you want.

Name: Glen
Race: Sweep
Gender: Male
Description: A tall, lanky guy, about 5'11", with hair that would look to be purple, if it weren't for the ash constantly covering him, much like the rest of his race. Other than that, he's quiet, very much so. So quiet, in fact, that people tend to assume he's ignoring them. He'll speak up when he needs to, though.
Augment Type: Supernatural
Beneficial Augment: ??
Negative Augment: ??

Like Cheesecake said, do we decide our own augmentations beyond type?

Name: Kali
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Description: A 26 year old woman with red hair. Usually wears leather clothes.
Augment Type: Born with supernatural powers
Beneficial Augment: Cause fear:  Kali can cause terror to grip one creature that she can see. Can only be used once every four turns. 
Negative Augment: Nightmares: This mutant is prone to terrifying nightmares, and often wakes up screaming, drenched in sweat. The mutant may dread falling asleep or resort to drugs to sleep soundly. Kali has -5 to all rolls during the morning.

Bio: Kali was born in Buffalo's rest, a seemingly normal girl. Except...
From an early age, all who angered her felt an inexplicable sense of dread and terror. Conversely, every morning she woke up screaming. These put together caused her parents to turn her loose onto the streets, where she learned that her ability was within her control. For years, she made use of it to get by, stealing food and drink and money from her utterly terrified victims. Until the Master came.
He was the only one she could not affect. Or perhaps he was affected, but to disciplined to let it show. Either way, one day she attempted to rob him. After the attempt failed, she expected a swift death. Final release from the terrors of dreams. But he didn't kill her. Instead, he took her in. She slept soundly for the first time. When he disappeared, the terrors came back. She searches for him, both to end the terrors, and bring back her surrogate father.

If there is a skill system, or even an actual character sheet, could it be explained? I also ask the last 2's question.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

But...
There is an actual character sheet. It's in the OP.

[Twinwolf]

...I am blind. Editing.

[Pencil_Art]

PTW. Might join.

[kj1225]

To answer the question about whether you guys choose your own Augs.

You don't, I'll be generating them for you. However if you have a specific idea I'd be more than happy to see if there's something written up for it.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

While I don't have a specific idea, per se, I would like to know if there's anything ice-related in the Supernatural side of things.
