I'm quite interested in this, will try to get working on a character when I have the time. Reminds me a lot of Mad Max and that's a very good thing.

@Inuyasha Wow, you just sounded exactly like my little brother. Anyway, let me know if I overdid anything. Or underdid anything. As for the personality, I probably could've put more, but I like developing my characters IC.

As for my mole girl character, i think i can make it work, but I'm having trouble coming up with a compelling and realistic reason for her to join this convoy. I'm thinking one of the other players saved her or something at some point and has been here protector ever since? If anyone would be interested let me know please. Might have to come up with something different if it does not work out

@Zorogami Personally, I like that idea, but you might want to wait for some other people to post their CSes so you can collab with them. But I don't think your reason for joining the Convoy has to be to in depth, it can be as simple as just wanting to go to Angel City because you're tired of Eden or something of the like... it doesn't have to be super thought out, it just has to make some level of sense. I don't want this aspect being something that holds up people from making cool characters like the one you described, so don't get discouraged

@Treue The immediate problem I notice with your CS is that it does not include why she is joining the convoy. Like I said above, it can be simple, it just has to make some level of sense. Also, I will say, I'm not a fan of characters with tragic backstories that don't have proper mental repercussions when you roleplay them in IC, so just keep that in mind.

@Inuyasha I knew I was forgetting something. Anyway, the death of her parents will have its effects on her psyche, don't worry about that. I'll get to work on fixing that though. Everything else good?
EDIT: Fixed that up.

It still just tells me she heard of a convoy being formed, I want to know why she decided to join this convoy. Again, could be any reason, maybe she's just looking for adventure -- just as long as it works.

Also, just wanted to say when I read you other section it made me laugh, I dont really know why.

The reason was added to the end of the personality section. And every post apocalyptic RP needs a cannibal.

@Inuyasha is there a form of currency in this post apocalyptic world? Was wondering because my character is like a scavenger/junk dealer.

@Heat

How does one figure out currency in a post-apocalyptic setting? I have a feeling most stuff would run on a barter system. "Oh, you have this shiny, useful thing? I'll trade you this shiny "useful" thing in exchange, haha."

But, would, like people have meetings to come up with a kind of monetary value on things and then establish something akin to actual currency? Like, how did people in Fallout just think, "Oh, Nuka-Cola caps... those are the equivalent of pre-war money now! I'll just give this guy an abundance of these caps that I found laying around for his awesome gun and see if he'll give it to me." Actually, that sounds legit... like it started out as a con and it actually grew into something. Maybe that's how money works in this world? Someone thought, "I'm gonna carry around these nuts and bolts until I can convince someone that they're worth monetary value and see if they'll gimme their stuff." And it works, and suddenly it's a chain system until everyone agrees that these particular nuts 'n bolts represent apocalyptic currency.

Or is that too weird?

On a totally different note, I'll hopefully be able to work on my character tomorrow. I have a vague idea of what I want and it centers around a guy from a distant area, settled in Eden for some form of work or maybe to lay low, and he's carrying around an actual human skull that is personally valuable to him. That's all I got right now, but it's gotten me inspired to work on fleshing his character into something three-dimensional and interesting. ;o

Its currently 1:42 AM, and I have had a busy day today. However, tomorrow is the weekend so I can respond to all your comments and @Treue's CS (sorry, I missed it when I reread it). Sorry about being so slow on the draw here, but I'm just so darn tired today T.T

@Heat In theory, no not really. People mostly barter and trade with each other. However, the most universally regarded (at least for the settlement of Eden) are ration cards which can be turned in for food and water to the paramilitary group that runs the colony. However, it should be noted, these ration cards are completely self dependent on the Masks, and useless anywhere outside of Eden. So technically there is a currency, but not really.

@Treue Okay, everything should be in order. I'm going to assume that some of those possessions will be stored in your car as that would be a ridiculous amount of things to carry on your person. Go ahead and post your character in the CS tab.

@Zorogami I've been thinking about your character, and I think you could just make an NPC be your characters be her protector if nobody else wants to volunteer for the job. Or if that doesn't strike your fancy I could volunteer my character as having saved him/her

First batch of character portraits are done (just for me and @Treue). You can use them as headers to your posts if you like, if not, no worries, they're there to spruce up the character page.

Votes?

Second edit: I just noticed Eden is New Haven from Borderlands. Amazing. I think I'll have Zed patching Jillian up in my intro post, maybe talk to Claptrap.
