Overall conditions change
Storm holding, Sunset, Campfires



The ragtag survivors began to pull themselves into a group once more even as the sun slowly began to dip beneath the distant horizon. As the light filtered through the storm clouds they lit up with fiery hues, almost as if threatening the little man screaming his defiance at them. At the same time they seemed to falter in their approach, perhaps held back by the war crier's rage, or just a change in the wind.

With the light fading subtle glows started to fire up across the sands. Some were singular and subdued, as if desperately trying to hide from sight, while others were bold and unashamed of their brilliance as they lit up the dusky sky. Trails of smoke began to rise into the sky, pointing out several camps and settlements which were strong enough not to worry about giving themselves away to any who could see them. Whether this was due to their actual strength or a misplaced bravery was yet to be seen.
Or a custom realm of your own devising?

Still here and still alive.

Are you sure about that? There's several heavily armed and armoured war machines heading your way right now.
My dude is just going to be a War Boy with an attachment to his two axes if that's all good with you?

While I wouldn't stop you from playing as a pure War Boy if that's what you want I'd strongly recommend choosing a secondary role to help flavour the character.

For instance, if your War Boy was the type who'd be first to leap between moving vehicles they'd have Road Warrior as their secondary which would give a boost in vehicle combat.
If they really cared for their axes to the point where they maintained them themselves your character might have the Blackfinger secondary, giving them the knowledge to take really good care of them.
On the other hand, if your character was a true master at carving up an opponent with their axes then Organic Mechanic as a secondary would let them butcher a target with feral precision, or just brutal bloodlust.

Definitely Red for main but not sure on secondary. I was looking at green for the "sacrifice self for others" part but they oppose so I'm not sure on the rule for that

You can choose any combination of motivations, but if they're opposed then it'll be difficult to collect enough points to break out the heroic moves unless your character prioritised one motivation over the other.

The better choice would be to consider why they'd be sacrificing himself. If they were doing it for glory, to be remembered or for selfish reasons then a Silver secondary would work. If they were doing it to provide the greatest good for others by their actions, or to make up for a perceived repayment for some previous wrong, then a Yellow secondary would be better. Either of these compliment the Red path and can easily be collected at the same time without conflict.

Than again some times a little conflict works well for a character.
By chance, am I missing a CS template from somewhere?

Nope. All I ask is that you give your character a name and define their roles and motivational paths, everything else is totally optional.

The only limit I've set for the adventure is that your character can only start with a light vehicle, such as a bike, trike or buggy, and handheld weapons only. What your character may count as a handheld weapon is totally up to you, but there's no ammunition around at the moment unless you want to scavenge up some in your opening post.

@BladeSS4 Any ideas to offer?

Hunting for stolen eggs? Some raiders stole a bunch from nests near Parsons Creamery and they've yet to be recovered.

The sun had set long before by the time the last of the poor folk finally left the kitchens. It had been a long, weary day but Widow Wanda was glad as she piled the last of the pots into the sinks for the young woman learning the ways of the Widows to clean ready for the morning. The smiles on the faces of the needy as she served them the rich gruel and freshly baked bread she and the others of the temple had spent the early hours preparing for them was all the comfort she needed to know her toils were not in vain.

Nodding her head to the supplicants the Widow made her way down into the cellar which served both as the storehouse for the mission's daily meals as well as her own personal quarters. Lighting the lantern which hung from the wall beside her bed she took a moment to centre herself as she thought back over the day. Many dozen parishioners had passed through her humble doors, and many had things to talk about over a warm meal.

Wanda didn't know why her superiors asked her to keep her journals on the trivialities of every day life, but she knew their reasons must be only for the best of reasons. After all, they were all doing the Good Work of Lord Daigon, and every deed was in service of others. As her pen scurried over the pages, jotting down every rumour and whisper she could recall, sometimes pausing for a moment to look back on earlier notes to link in one minor detail or another to previous mentions of a similar topic, just as she'd been taught while studying in the Fallen Keep.

After a while her eyes were beginning to droop. Setting aside the pen and stoppering the ink bottle carefully Wanda folded away the notes, forgetting about them once more as she moved to lay out the ingrediants ready for the next day. She'd heard rumours of war and bandits on the roads, and knew that meant new faces would likely be appearing at her doors soon. Each with a new talre to tell, and new stories to share.
