[OOC] After Apocalypse (OOC)

[manapool1]

So how are you all?

[Rethel34]

Question: Why do half of our characters seem to have seduction as a social skill? Not everyone can be that sexy.

[DaDrummer676]

Fine I guess, just finished a 21 page paper, XD Shakespearean Sonnets are a bitch!

[DaDrummer676]

I changed my guy's social skill as lack of fear.

[xRobynx]

All is well I suppose. Been working a lot and tired, but alive. xP

As for social skills, I kinda felt the same. So I just went with the socially-inept 'none' answer. xP

[manapool1]

I wanted to add something there. It took me awhile but there it is.

[xRobynx]

Hopefully Viktor accepts my CS. I'm itching to post. XP

And I have to say this: You might consider listing Tony Hart's belt in "Semper Fu" under skills as well. And if you are wondering, yes I am testing you. ;P

[Rethel34]

DaDrummer676 said He was sent back home after being shot in the knee.

I used to be an adventurer like you . . . XD

Appearance: Blake is fairly small but most of his body mass is muscle. He is mixed race from African and Caucasian and has the typical skin colour that comes with that, although he spends most of the time so covered in dirt that it's difficult to tell. He also has dark ginger hair which he keeps short so as to remain unobtrusive and fairly light brown eyes, which seem to be constantly bloodshot. He has many small injuries covering his body but none are particularly notable. With clothing, he tends to go for heavier and more protective attire. He also caries a satchel.
Name: Blake Umbridge

Birthdate: December 28th, 2990 (19)

Backstory: Blake was the illegitimate child of a rich businessman and his cleaner but when he was born his father denied her claims and refused to admit to being the father, bribing people to discredit her when it got out of hand. As such, his fairly poor and now locally vindicated mother had to bring him up and although she had good intentions, the two of them struggled with money and Blake often got into trouble and very often got into fights.

Later in his life, Blake lost his mother in an accident and he ended up on the streets and started getting into more trouble. He became involved with gangs and criminal activity, at first only to stay alive but later to prosper. He fought who he was told to, whether it was to harm or intimidate someone or for someone else's entertainment and he became very good at it. Despite this, he still commonly got hurt and, combined with frustration at his own low morals, he decided that he needed to get out and away from gangs and criminals. When the war happened he got his wish at a serious price. Everything fell apart around him and he was the lone survivor, having to live on his own again and salvage a life from the wreckage of the world.

Starting weapon: Nothing

Type of social skill: Intimidation

Type of combat skill: "Dirty" hand-to-hand combat (fists and weapons that enhance them like brass knuckles)

Type of craft skill: Creating and maintaining tools/melee weapons.

Alexis 'Alex' Fletcher March 14, 2990 ( 20 years old ) Alexis was born in South Carolina along with her brother Chance on a small cotton farm. She spent her childhood days helping out on the farm and her father even taught her how to shoot a rifle. Her favorite rifle became her father's but for more utilitarian purposes use used a much smaller .22. It was essential to keep the small animals out of the crops and she became quite the shot. Not long before it all began her parents got divorced with her father and Chance staying on the farm and her mother and she left for California. Alexis wasn't happy with leaving the farm that she had grew up and worked on all her life. During the outbreak she hasn't heard anything from her father or brother besides one phone call. Her mother had been killed while at working as a nurse in a hospital recieving the first of the ill in the area. Since it has seemed the entire world has gone to Hell. Alexis has surivied relativily well as she has reverted back to her days on the farm doing what she knows best to survive. She only keeps a 9mm pistol, a pocketknife and a small backpack of scavenged supplies on her person. She hopes to one day find an old Mosin just like she used to use with her father. Not only would it be quite the keepsake, but ammo was always plentiful. 9mm Pistol with 24 bullets. None. Marksmanship Farming

Accepted but, why NONE at the social skill? It is accepted, I'm just wondering why you put none there.

Also, you get a 100 dollar bonus, meaning you have 100 dollars with you at the start of your game.

Well to be perfectly honest. Everyone had seduction, and the personality I have for her doesn't really revolve well around social skills. xP

Name: Tony HartBirthdate: June 28, 2987. He's 23Backstory: Tony was born the youngest of eight. Or so, that's what his adoptive parents told him. Apperently, his parents gave him away, not being able to provide for him. You think they would have realized that they couldn't afford eight children before they actually HAD eight children. Hart was given to a single mother who had lost her son at birth and was recently divorced. He doesn't remember much about his childhood. All he remembers is that his mother, Mary, always provided for him. Through thick and thin they always had each other's backs. Tony soon realized that he was horrible at school, and was close to flunking out by high school. He did find that learning languages was fairly easy. He already knew Spanish, his mother taught him as a kid. Hart graduated high school with happiness, and immediately joined the USMC. Boot camp was brutal, seeing as Tony was very out of shape. As time went on, he became very fit, and an excellent marksman. He became a sniper, with secondary training with all weapons. Tony toured in Afghanistan 3 times. He was sent back home after being shot in the knee. Hart rehabilitated, but still walks with a slight limp and can't run very fast. Not being able to return to the military, he opened a small hockey hardware business. He still resides there, but is about to go on the move, because of the lack of food.Starting weapon: Nothing, wondering what this bonus will be.Type of social skill: Lack of fear.Type of combat skill: Was in the USMC. Has three years of Marine experience under his belt.Type of craft skill: He speaks Spanish, Italian, and sign language.

Almost accepted. I need you to be specific with the combat skill. Pick one. Hand-to-hand combat? Marksmanship? Knife fighting? What?

Anyway, you have 100 dollars for the bonus. Your character starts with 100 dollars in his pocket, and you can buy items with it from NPCs.
