Name: Tom Browning
Appearance: Average-height male, with dark-brown hair hidden under a cowboy hat. Brown eyes, hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. Tries to keep clean shaven, often doesn't work out too well. Usually wears a long brown coat with enough pockets to be practical.
Bio: Tom was a police officer, perhaps thankfully off-duty and out of state when the event happened. He tried his best to keep order with what he had on hand, slowly failing more and more as it became clear he was in over his head. Now he is just trying to see what he can do to fix this mess-or at least make it out alive.
Skills: Handguns, Police-type skills, gun maintenance

Name: Cassidy McTeague
Appearance: Cassidy stands at 6'1, 185 Pounds. He has short black dreadlocks, caramel skin and green eyes. He has a few scars on his body, but none are large or significantly visible. Hailing from the frigid north, he is commonly seen wearing heavy winter clothing.
Bio: Cassidy grew up in Atlanta, Georgia but accepted a Psychology Scholarship to the University of Minnesota where he now studies. It was here that Cassidy developed a hobby in Outdoorsmanship, and whenever school would get to overbearing he would take to the woods and mountains, fishing, hunting, and camping. When the power grid fell, Cassidy had no idea what happened at first, and simply assumed that all of his electronics were faulty.

Name:
 -Charles Birwell
Appearance:
 -A 5'8" male in his early 20s who used to weigh round about 280lb. Has a head of long, messy, blondish brown hair that he occasionally cuts off when it interferes too bady with his glasses. Pale skin, brown eyes, has a bit of an odor problem. He is almost always seen wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt, and an old olive M65 field jacket.
Bio:
 -Charles grew up moving from Massachusetts to Upstate New York and back again, reading large amounts of books as he went. He was particularly fond of "Hard" Science Fiction, military history, and living more-or-less off the grid. Indeed, one may say he was a bit of a proto-prepper, even going so far as to keep a small stock of tinned food in his room at all times, just in case.
Skills:
 -Low levels outdoorsmanship, mechanics, electrics, farming, rifles. Jack of many trades, master of none at all.

[tntey]

Interested. Can I start a cult?

[Elfeater]

You can try to, sure.

[Stirk]

Looks fun, interested.

[TCM]

Between the glut of Nuclear War, Zombie Virus and Environmental Disaster, the "No Power" setting is rarely explored but is a fun possibility nonetheless. Consider me interested.

[Tomasque]

Will all the graphics look like that? If so, fuck yeah!

 If not, I still really like it.

I believe that is just a template used to create characters, I've seen it before. The game most likely won't look like that beyond it, but who knows, maybe OP has some wicked drawing skills.

[Elfeater]

Yeah, I was just going to have you all set up your characters with the innawoods browser, and upload them here, that way I could keep track of items. My drawing skills are not honestly all that impressive In all honesty.

[Elfeater]

Okay, well if you four are interested, https://innawoods.net/ , make a character on there, keep the amount of equipment reasonable, for example don't be toting around rocket launchers and the like.
It might need you to run scripts.

Ill update the main post once your characters are in.

[Sosoku234]

I am interested.

When the power grid goes out, does that mean that everything hooked up to it is down, or literally every electrical device is usual? If it's the latter, I need to get rid of my character's cell phone, GPS, Portable Heater, etc.

Are there options for your character beyond being various kinds of white dude?

[Elfeater]

Are there options for your character beyond being various kinds of white dude?

Yes, just put it in the description of your character, innawoods is just to get an idea of what your load out is.

As for the electrical devices, most will be down, but a portable heater that uses say, propane would work.
Even if the cell phone or GPS would work, it would not be able to operate because the structures that would make them work, the satellites the towers etc, would be down.

[TCM]

That is logical. I will make my adjustments.

What about battery powered devices like a flashlight or watch?

[Elfeater]

From what I have read, batteries should still work, but items with electrical circuitry will be damaged. A flashlight might work, if it creates what is called a Faraday cage, which protects somethings from emp burst. A watch that is mechanical will work, well, like clockwork.
