Description: The UM-45 is named for the fact that it sounds like a person with a speech impediment trying to imate the sound that a SMG makes. Besides a variable rate of fire, the gun is very reliable. Plus, it comes with a built-in ashtray, which is handy for the smoking crazied gunman.

Basic Chemicals
You wander around the city for a while, looking for someplace to cook your meat before it spoils. Eventually a thought strikes you (not very forcefully, thank God). Hobos have to eat, right? And some of them should know how to cook. Ergo you should eventually find a hobo who knows where you would be able to do some cooking.
Armed with your potentially faulty logic, you quickly set out to find a vagabond. Since you are wandering around in the industrial district of the city, you quickly find three of them huddling together. As you approach they quickly look you over. Eventually they break out into grins, convinced by your ragged clothes that you are one of them. One of them chats with you.
"Hello there brother. How has life been treating you?" he asks.
"Okay I suppose."
"Oh." His grin fades for a moment, before coming back full force. "Well have you heard about latest spat between King Pope Snake and EUFAP?"
"Look buddy," you reply, "I'm not here to listen to backstory. I've got several chunks of meat with me, and no way to keep them fresh. If you could show me some place where I can cook them, I'd be grateful."
"Sure thing. I always help out a brother in need."
A couple hours later, after following the hobo's instructions, you find yourself outside an abandoned restaurant. Or at least it looks abandoned. A couple of vagabonds squatted in the place, stole a couple propane tanks, got the equipment running, and began charging for access to the kitchen. After paying the doorman five dollars you enter the place and begin cooking. With some help from the other hobos in the place, you manage to cook up some tasty kebabs and learn a couple more cooking techniques.

Armour: 0
Energy: 2/3
Innovation Points: 2/2
Money: $61
Majors: Survival 1001 (Can rest fully in wilderness without food or a bed. Can construct shelter in the wilderness with enough time and the proper tools. +3 to sneaking in wilderness. -3 to sneaking in cities. Moves through wilderness normally.)
Minors: 1001 Ways to Serve a Human (Can cook a wide variety of meals if given tools, materials and time. +1 to all rolls after eating suspicious meat. Lasts for 1 turn.)
Big and Scary (+5 to health. +2 to intimidate. +2 when making rolls that cause fear.)
Skills: Common Techniques of the Cooking Hobo (+1 to cooking)
Weapon Proficiencies: Melee (ACC: +15%, DMG: +2)
Effects:
GM Interrupter
Effect: +2 to interrupt the GM.
Duration: Until used.
Description: You have interrupted the GM's plans for the second-to-last time! Hopefully. It's not like I have complete and utter control over the world in all it's entirety.
Weapons:
Nailboard: DMG: 4 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0 (Equipped)
Special: Simplicity itself: DMG: 6 when attacking enemies with high IQs.
Description: A board. With a nail in it. Doesn't get simpler than that.
Club: DMG: 1 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0
Special: Nighty Night: Sneak attacks with this weapon always knocks a target out, assuming that they have no protection against being knocked out.
Desciption: Favoured by thugs, cavemen and anybody who's ever whacked somebody else with a stick. Obviously bringing a club to a gunfight is going to get yourself killed.
Knife: DMG: 3 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0
Special: Silent Killer: Attacks are completely silent. Guards probably won't have overactive imaginations, so try to kill them with the first throw.
Backstab: DMG: 8 with a sneak attack.
Description: It's a knife. A nice knife, yes, but not the kind of knife that would warrant a long description. At best it'd probably have a really nice handle, or maybe a blade with no notches in it. Really, what can you do to snazz up a knife like this? Sure, you could add gold and jewels and other fancy stuff on it, but what's the point? For a common, average, work-a-day knife, you wouldn't want to fancy it up so much in case the you break or ruin it. What you want is a common, easy to get knife. That way, it's not some distinctive piece of evidence they can use when you stab a man with it. Knowing you, you'll stab a lot of men with it.

Sadly it's not everyday that somebody in nice clothes passes out on the street, and therefore you can't find anything better to wear. At one point you manage to bump into Jessica again. After a quick
triade conversation she starts to give you the nice clothes that she stole off of you, but she skips off once she realize that you can't give her any money for them.
Damn kids.

While the .34 revolver isn't as glamorious as the .44 Magmum or .666 Hellblaster, it gets the job done when you need it most. Unless you're facing a tank that is. Then you're on your own.

Your attempt at acting crazy backfires horribly, and not only does nobody believe you, but every believes that you are completely and utterly sane. In fact, they actually give you 10 dollars, in the belief that you are merely down on your luck and that you need the money.

Special: Aim For The Head: 15% chance to do DMG: 12 on a hit. 100% chance vs. zombies.
Description: A sawn-off Bethesda P-99. Why they had to use a Bethesda P-99 is beyond you, since it doesn't really seem like a good weapon to make a sawn-off with. Still, if you ever wanted to fight a hoard of zombies, look no further. Works well against a horde of zombies too.

Jessica skips around the commercial district, using her telepathic powers to find jobs. The number of people in the commercial district has swollen seven-fold since the early hours of the morning when Jessica arrived. Thus the sheer pain from listening to all those thoughts prevents Jessica from quickly sorting through them and finding a job to do. Of course she still gets a few offers, though none that Jessica wants to do. A rather obscene number of people want Jessica to do the nasty, a few pledge their hearts and souls to her, a couple even offer to marry her. She even manages to bump into John Smith, but it has no money with which to pay her for a nice set of clothes. What a shame.

Thanks to your persuasive charm, good looks and sexy eyebrows, you manage to convince a rather attractive female bar-owner to give you a job as a barkeeper, along with lodgings above the bar. Any requests about money or identification are quickly diverted by a generous amount of flirting.

Those orphans don't know what hit them. Well, their lawyer should know, but he'll probably die of a heart attack once he realizes what the charges are. Laughing merrily, you set up your base of operations in the orphanage.

You find a hotel with decent rates and enter it. Since it's the middle of the day, the lobby is empty, with only a bored employee standing behind the reception counter. She's focused on the latest episode of COSMIC HORROR TERROR and Friends playing on a suspended television in the lobby, and it isn't till the next commercial break that you're able to get her attention. When you tell her that you can only pay for the room in cash, she says that only the manager can handle that type of transaction, and then goes off in the back to look for her.

She's calling the police, isn't she?
