[Ardent Debater]

43 years ago the Collapse struck, the exact details of what happened are a little hazy and the oldsters mostly don't remember what exactly happened, but everybody knows that it turned the Earth into a total wasteland filled with Mutated Animals, Intelligent Apes, the occasional Giant Turkey, and whatever else the GM sees fit to add at any point. Most people have been born after the Collapse but there are still some old people that remember the World before. The Party, 4 semi-intelligent Survivors, have hit the road together in search of Adventure, or a Cure, or a nice Place to settle down, or whatever, really. The only thing holding them together is safety in numbers and the fact that being alone is boring.

[Ardent Debater]

I know that double posting is shameful, but I really need players. Bump

[inaluct]

Spoiler: let's do this (click to show/hide)

Name: Verminius Thrax, Masked Mutant (Wannabe) Warlord
Gender: Probably male
Age: Hard to determine. Looks about 30.
Appearance: A pallid, oily, hulking mutant clad in makeshift armor and a slasheresque mask made of layered sheet metal riveted together.
Race: Visually obvious mutant with some cybernetic enhancements
Alignment: Neutral Good
Motivation: An irreconcilable blend of the desire to drive his enemies before him and hear the lamentations of their women and the longing to settle down in some quiet valley with some friends and a woman who he loves, and who loves him.
Profession: Scavenger and small-time raider that worked alone and only attacked people in urban areas who he could morally reconcile killing.
Goal: Become the Warrior of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah, the Greatest Merciless Cyborg Mutant Warlord to Ever Walk the Earth. Secretly, he knows that it will never happen and is silently tortured by his inability to be merciless and his desire for friendship and love. Also wants a chainsaw.
Personality: Outwardly pretends to be boisterous and vicious to those he considers friends and enemies who he speaks to, attempts to pass for silent and implacable to those who he stalks, privately a gentle soul caught in a struggle between his natural yearnings and the expectations thrust upon him by society and the post apocalyptic fiction genre. He desperately wishes for companionship but he has extreme difficulty in letting down his guard and making the first move. His frothingly insane outward posturing constantly hamstrings his attempts at social interaction by scaring away the people who would be most likely to accept him. Has a strong tendency to freeze up at the very moment of enacting terrible mercilessness on somebody who he knows doesn't deserve it.
Gear: A motley assortment of makeshift armor, a thick metal mask with a very distinctive and menacing hockey mask kind of look, a fire axe, and a large backpack full of miscellaneous useful scavenged items (trash bags, small knives, food, water, cords and wires, random junk).
Stats:
Muscles: 4
Grit: 5
Athletics: 1
Will: 0
Smarts: 1
Charisma: 0

Skills:
 - Scavenging
 - First Aid
 - Hitting Stuff With An Axe

Mutations:
 - Enhanced Tissue Regeneration - Verminius Thrax heals damage at an accelerated rate due to his redundant organ systems. The rate is noticeably faster than normal, but not absurdly so. If he gets cut, it might only take half the normal time for the cut to heal, but it won't magically heal before your eyes.

Cybernetic Enhancements:
 - Night Vision Lens - A small lens is implanted in Verminius Thrax' right cornea that can be activated to allow him to see in the dark for short periods of time (10-30 minutes). The lens takes roughly a one hour to recharge one minute's worth of use.
- Hand Vulcan - A six barreled rotating miniature vulcan cannon swings out from a hing on Verminius Thrax' left forearm. It is belt fed and fires 5.56mm NATO rounds. Verminius Thrax has a small pile of spent links and brass in his backpack, but no actual bullets.

This is pretty nice, You're IN

Sidenote: You guys do realize that your Character's Will also effects their pain tolerance, right?

[inaluct]

I assumed Grit would have that covered, with it being about taking punishment and all that. Is low pain tolerance going to be ridiculously crippling?

No, not necessarily, Grit and Will both cover pain tolerance, so you won't be bad off.

Excellent. Verminius Thrax will crush those who stand before him.

Does being a mutant or a cyborg actually do anything other than make people disgusted with you?

That depends on the dice rolls, but you can choose a few non-OP augmentations and/or mutations, however, if the dice roll poorly it could backfire. The more starting genetic/cybernetic traits you choose the more likely they are to end poorly for your character.

[Ardent Debater]

If I don't have 4 Players within 24 hours I'll just start the game with whoever's already joined. Later Players can join in at some point along the road.

I added a few mutations and cybernetic enhancements to the end of my character sheet.

Seems OK to me. I've already got the first adventure hook planned out.

[Salsacookies]

Name: The Roach

Gender: Dirt

Age: 65

Appearance: A thin, scruffy man, encrusted with dirt and grime. His grey hair and beard are long and greasy from decades without a shower, so much so that his hair sticks in place when he takes off his beanie. He tends to wrap himself in a long coat and scarf, brown with dirt, with fingerless gloves covering his hands. He's surprisingly healthy for his lifestyle of choice, and sports a lean, muscular build under his dusty clothing, with some bolts in his side being the only indicator of cybernetics.

Race: Physically resembles a human, but is actually a high-tech Cyborg.

Alignment: As neutral as brown dirt.

Motivation: He has no motivation.

Profession: Hobo

Goal: Be left alone

Personality: A very relaxed person to say the least. He has seen a lot, and would rather like to drown most of it in a beer, if he could get drunk, anyway. He's basically something of a hermit and a doormat. Don't mess with him, you won't ever notice him.

Gear: A long, heavy coat, a beanie, and heavy boots. He has on him at the moment a few cans of beans and a bottle of whiskey, and a cart to carry interesting things he finds in the trash. Concealed within his coat, he holds a machete, if necessary to protect himself.

Stats: (You get 5 points to distribute all stats start at 1 point,2 points are average. 1 point is below average and 0 points gives you a disability of some kind.)

Muscles: 3
Grit: 2
Athletics:3
Will: 2
Smarts: 1
Charisma: 0

Skills: Scavenging from trash, blending with the environment, and fighting dirty.

Cybernetic Implants:

Artificial Stomach: Removes toxins from poisoned and spoiled food.

Nanobot reserve: located on the stomach, the nanites are released from the valves on his side, repairing any damaged tissues and keeping the body in peak condition.
