Steelbird Landing Interest Check [18+, 6 players ONLY]

<Snipped quote by Rydude17>

We're open. It's not first-come first-served. I'd much rather have 10 characters and cut the bottom 4 than stop at a set of 6 that might not have great chemistry.

@TheGrundlesnart

I’ll get to work then, be sure to give you something good

Steelbird Landing Interest Check [18+, 6 players ONLY]

If you’re still open, I’m VERY interested in this.

Fallout: The Ashes of Atlanta (From casual to advanced, depending on how it goes.)

I’d be interested in this. I’d like to see some more factions that aren’t just equivalents to factions in the games though. Maybe it’s just the descriptions here, but it seems like they’re all basically an allegory for one that already exists. I’d be interested in hearing more details about them, to see how they’re different and how they’re similar.

Raiders and Ruins

First IC post is up, folks. Anybody who’s still interested feel free to have a look.

Raiders and Ruins

12th of MidSpring, 38 months and 11 days since the bombs dropped.

The sun rose over a sickly-Green sky, baking the abandoned ruins of New Greymare in a dry heat which made the town inhospitable (though not uninhabitable) even to mutants. Despite this, a desperate group of survivors had holed up inside, taking an old hotel for shelter as they recuperated from wounds and losses sustained in the last raider attack. It was down to just 4 of them now, everyone else had either fallen in the fight or fled and been separated from the others.

Zim, a gnome and the group’s mechanic, took stock of their remaining supplies. Unfortunately the raiders had been desperate, meaning they fought to the last man and left the survivors with little to loot. 5 cans of beans, 2 cans of spam, half a pack of beef jerky, 3 cloves of garlic and one dead pigeon were all the food left for the 4 of them, it wouldn’t last long. They were fine for ammo, for the time being, but low on gasoline and on manpower.

Zim approached the others, all of them big folk, crowded around an old radio playing static and sighed. As bad as their situation was, it paled in comparison to yesterday. “If it’s alright with you all, I’d like to say a few words for the folks we lost. We’ve not been travelling together long, and some of us less time than others, but I’m sure we all lost someone important to us in that last attack, and in the last few weeks. Bill, Kat, Juanita, Grud, Stephan, Eldarion, Mary-Belle, Whitman, I know I’ll never forget Jane, that woman saved my life a dozen times....I guess what I’m trying to get at is, we won’t ever forget them. But we can’t sit around feeling sorry for ourselves, not right now. They died, so we could live, and I’m not gonna let that be for nothing. We don’t know when the next attack will be, but we have to be ready for it when it comes. If you guys have grieving to do, I suggest you save it in your heart until later, ‘cause right now we gotta get to scavenging and during up our defences. We can’t stay here too much longer but if we don’t find some fuel and food, we can’t exactly leave. So, does anybody have a plan? I can try to siphon fuel outta cars outside, maybe one of you could search for food?” Zim nervously fiddled with a screwdriver in his pocket, trying to think of the right words. He was never much of a speech-maker, especially not on sad occasions. He was better when it was a celebration, but he didn’t anticipate one of those for some time.

Raiders and Ruins

Following a particularly brutal encounter with raiders, the remaining survivors of our group seek shelter in a seemingly abandoned town, New Greymare. The baking heat and lack of supplies make travelling impossible for the moment, so instead the group will need to search within the town itself for fuel, food and medicine.

Raiders and Ruins

I have some ideas for additional characters, so if it feels like we need more I can always bring in a Half-Orc I have in mind.

Writing up the starting post now, I went and made it the Zeroth, I dunno if that’s typically how you start these off.

Raiders and Ruins

@Lurking Shadow I’ll start this soon, I’ve just been kept very busy with real-life stuff lately and haven’t had the time.

Where Heroes Are Made

DimbleCogglespot

Who he is: Dimble Cogglespot, Gnome Adventurer-In-Training

How old he is: 16, though he might look more like a 5-year old

What he look Like: To the Untrained (and Human) eye, he looks much like a young child. There are some tell-take signs of a gnome though, the large head and long nose, the lean yet muscular build that’s usually hidden under flowing robes or dark leather, the bafflingly large vocabulary, etc. He has dirty blonde hair messily cut, and brown eyes which turn bright yellow in the dark. He’s started to get whispers of a beard, but is keeping it shaved at least until he’s out in the “real world”. He typically wears light armour in combat, most often dark leathers, and carries a shortbow, shortsword, dagger and a small wooden wand with leather grip. When not in combat, he usually wears colourful robes, and a large green hat on special occasions.

What He Can Do: Dimble is a Jack of every trade, in a sense. He’s been trained as a spellsword, combining magic and martial combat in an intricate dance of might and mind, and his small size and affinity for illusions gives him a helping hand when it comes to stealth. He most often fights with a shortsword in his main hand and a dagger as an off-hand weapon, mainly for parrying but also useful for getting a few decent hits in when his opponent lets their guard down. He can do magic without a wand, at least simple things like shield spells, temporarily empowering his weapons or shooting small bursts of flame and such. For more complicated things, like detailed illusions or larger, more deadly spells, he’s more inclined to use a wand. A skilled archer and feverishly nimble in combat, it takes skill to land a hit on Dimble, but if you do he’s pretty easy to send flying. More focused on dexterity than raw strength, his small size is used to his advantage as much as it can be, but he’d never claim to be fit for platemail and greatswords. He’ll stick to his strengths, and those are dodging, hiding, stabbing and spell-slinging. As a gnome, he has excellent dark-vision and feels as easily comfortable in small, underground spaces as he would in an open field. He’s got a sharp mind, even if it is an inexperienced one, and a thirst for knowledge that makes him an eager adventurer.

What He’s Training For: Dimble was orphaned at the tender age of 4, when a hulking giant tore through his village and crushed his house underfoot. He may be small, but that won’t stop him from hunting down the largest monsters out there, and that’s explicitly what he plans to do when he leaves the tower. The bards will sing songs of “Dimble The Nimble, Slayer of Giants” one day.

@Rydude17

There's no single sheet or format. Just make sure to say who the character is, how old he is, what he looks like, and what he can do, or at least, what he's training for.

@Aristocles

I may have taken this a bit too literally, but I hope my sheet is alright.
