P E R S O N A L I T Y Which one?' ... Ahem is eccentric, to say the least. He sees the world very differently to most others and his frequent ramblings often don't make much sense. He has an ability to justify nearly anything to himself in some strange way or another. All in all he is a genuine good kid, simple minded and with a short attention span. He is kind and friendly, valuing friendship and companionship highly. He does not like being alone.
B A C K G R O U N D Ahem claims to have found the ‘well of eternal youth’ some 39 years ago. It was empty, and he fell into it trying to rescue his cat, getting trapped for multiple decades. Lucky for him the little tin roof held and kept him and his pet dry. Many years later he finally managed to emerge from his deep dark stone prison, older, wiser and just a little more kooky than before.
The long isolation, solitude, noxious gasses and radiation reeked havoc on his sanity. His mind rotted a little in that hole. Still today he lives in his own little world of optimistic deluded fantasy.
Ahem still claims that he survived off the support and cooperation of the various rodents and bugs that resides in or frequented the well. He had set up a small freeroam cockroach farm and also trained rats to fetch him goodies. Life wasn’t that bad in the well. He was practically king of the rats. If it wasn’t for Kitties curiosity and need to explore, Ahem probably would have stayed down there.
S K I L L S Ahem has become an adept climber, with near logic defying skill. He seems to challenge or just ignore the natural laws of physics. Another ode to that statement is his uncanny ability to communicate with creatures. Although it’s not yet proven to be anything more than a really REALLY lucky fluke of coincidence, it is his belief and claim. Ahem also has developed a heightened sense of hearing from all his time in the dark. His extra alert ears give him an almost ‘blind sense’ or sonar ability.
B E L O N G I N G S Slime bag of bones
Kitty is his pet cat. Well the remains of a cat in a strange suspending blob of slime. Ahem is adamant that it is alive and well, despite it never moving. He carries it everywhere he goes always talking to and treating it like a normal cat
[Clay, while a bit rough-around-the-edges is pretty care free and easy going guy. He can be a little arrogant and over confident and extremely head strong and stubborn at times. He is pretty quick to anger and even quicker to resort to violence, or at least threats of. Very much the strike first ask questions later type. Character flaws aside he has a generally good heart and will make sacrifices for others. Behind his arrogance he doesn't really believe he is worth dirt, often denying his own happiness believing he must suffer for mistakes of the past. He's the kind of guy that trouble is attracted too.]
Aspirations/goals/philosophy. Why are they going through this trail, what do they want to achieve? What kind of change do they want in the vampire society?
Strengths & Weaknesses. Strong, courageous, determined and disciplined. He is loyal and reliable. May not be book intelligent but he has the street smarts and creative ingenuity to make up for it.
He has a weakness for pretty women and motor bikes. He hates being manipulated, controlled or constrained and strongly dislikes the clean, intellectual types that are too afraid get their own hands dirty. But he will take advantage of that for the right coin.
Ooh and as an alien or AI we can have a main brain/body on the ship and send out androids, it will sorta act as a respawn if things go bad. But if we do good and bring back resources we can upgrade our androids :)
The more I think about it the more excited I get with possibilities!!!
I like the idea of world/lore building in game but with point limitations to keep things even. Say once a week you get 5 points that allow you to introduce new lore.
A new hero/character could be 1 A new basic race 1, advanced 2 monsterous 3 Town 1 city 2 capitol 3 Island 1 special landmass/location 2, country 3
So as you want to write in something new you use creation points. If you don’t have any, you just have to wait and work on what others have created.
The most basic concept and delivery of this would be from the aliens side as we explore the new lands discovering new creatures and cultures.

Been in the middle of the bush camping and burning things in Western Australia’s little version of burning man. So been completely disconnected. Sorry no notice, was pretty hectic lead up considering I’m part of the fire tribe. Anyway, good to see I didn’t miss much/anything.
As for unresponsive, there hasn’t been anything to respond to. However if you give me a bit of free reign I’ll get this game moving within two days, but you told me off last time I tried so... *shrug*
Hurruh just looks at Jones with a with an expression of shock under a frown. It quickly slips into something more of worry as he shakes his head. ”What if you get eaten!?” He exclaims grabbing her hand. ”No, we shouldn’t go that way.” He says. Then with a yawn he asks. ”Where are we going to sleep?”
