Reminder: no repeats allowed. Everyone must play different playbooks. The reason is that every character is unique. i.e. There are medics, but there is only one Angel.

The Child Thing

Name: Boda

Look:

Spoiler: Chosen look

Concealed, scrounge wear, innocent face, bright eyes, child’s body

Spoiler: Described Look

Skittering underfoot and bounding across scrap piles, Boda can be mistaken for one of the hundreds of scav kids rummaging around for anything useful. Heavy gloves, hooded poncho and respirator adorn her small form, just like most people trying to stay alive in this world. But what most people don’t have are bright pupils that look like an ‘X’, most people don’t contort and rip themselves apart before growing into someone new, most people don’t eat the things the scavenge out of scrap piles.

When you do get to talk with Boda without all the shit covering her, it, him, whatever, the eyes are usually a dead giveaway but there is also a look in her face. A look shared with some of the youngest people still alive. Innocence.

it’s enough to make your heart melt until she grows horns, glows like a chem lantern and starts eating metal with serrated teeth.

Spoiler: Den description

One of these days, go take a jaunt over near the south end and creep around near the red and white pole. You might be able to spot a hole in the wall, not a shitty bar but an actual hole. Go in there and you found yourself on Boda’s doorstep.

It drops down inside, you take a left at the first intersect and if you notice the floor and walls getting slick, that’s the place you wanna be. The floor and walls are all glass faced phones cemented into the dirt like they used to be cemented to faces. Find the working one, use the code Boda gave you and in you go. It’s a hovel but an organized one. Something like what a kid would make. Little setups that make your heart hurt as you realize it’s just all attempts at some sort of golden time comforts. But then you see the signs, written in scrawled charcoal. Tunnels that lead basically everywhere in the hard hold and a few that don’t lead anywhere you recognize. Then you realize that nowhere is really safe, the child thing could get in anywhere. Your panic makes more of the phone tile turn on, illuminating the den. More and more tunnels appear and you realize nothing is ever really solid underfoot.

Spoiler

Wolves:

Spoiler

They look like angels but they are
made of metal and plastic and they
only howl.

They never stop. The wolves are hunting day and night. That’s why Boda changes, to keep them confused. They look like you and me when they want to. That beggar with the apples, the old lady giving a smile, the stripper hawking her wares. All of em are wearing a face they took. Underneath that fake face they are beautiful. Perfect faces designed by the Old World masters. Machined to be inhumanly perfect but made out of plastic and metal and fluids that stink when they burn. When they lose their mask, they stop talking and just howl. Howling as they hunt for Boda and anyone in their way. Wolves of the Maelstrom trying to keep the balance in the storm.

[Wondertainment]

The Driver​

Name: Chelsea Manson

Look: Female, Utility Wear, Gorgeous Face, Hard Eyes, Solid Body

Stats:
Cool+2 Hard=0 Hot=1 Sharp+1 Weird-1

Gear:

• Handy Weapon: Magnum (3-harm, close, reload, loud)
• oddments worth 4-barter
• fashion suitable to your look: flanel jacket usually slumped over backseat, overalls, T-shirt, baseball cap that's somehow armored

Cars (all named, of course):

1. "Seabiscuit" - Bike (speed=1, handling=0, armor=0, massive=0)
   1. Seabiscuit is used for quick and quiet excursions. Chelsea usually uses this to take just one passenger or to go somewhere fast. Incredibly fast, Chelsea is also proficient in riding the bike in places that really shouldn't be driven in.
   2. Strengths: Fast, Off-Road
   3. Looks: Sleek
   4. Weakness: Cramped
2. "Alistair" - Jeep (speed=0, handling=1, armor=1, massive=2)
   1. The jeep is Chelsea's most used vehicle. It carries a couple people and has room for storage. Though it's slow and loud, it's efficient. It's not as fragile and room-less as Seabiscuit, but can places that Frizzlebox can't.
   2. Strengths: Aggressive, Off-road
   3. Looks: Spikes and Plates
   4. Weakness: Slow, Loud
3. "Frizzlebox" - Bus (speed=0, handling=0, armor=1, massive=4)
   1. This is for the big missions. Chelsea found this beauty somewhere. She's not sure what it was originally for, but the faded yellow paintjob inspired her. It can carry large amounts of troops for a long time, but due to its bulk can't really travel anywhere with precision. Also due to its mass, it uses a lot of gas.
   2. Strengths: Workhorse, Rugged
   3. Looks: Powerful
   4. Weakness: Guzzler, Loud

Special Moves:

• Eye on the Door
  • Name your escape route and roll+cool. On a 10+, you’re gone. On a 7–9, you can go or stay, but if you go it costs you: leave something behind or take something with you, the MC will tell you what. On a miss, you’re caught vulnerable, half in and half out.
• Collector
  • You get 2 additional cars (you detail).

I love your sheet, and if that hadn't been freaking awesome.

The Gunlugger

Name:
Solomon

Stats:
Cool +1
Hard +2
Hot -2
Sharp +2
Weird -1

Gear:
MG (3-harm, close/far, area, messy)
Hunting Rifle (3-harm, far) (Silenced)
Machete (3-harm hand messy)
Ancient Soldier's Suit (2-armor)
Oddments worth 1 barter (an assortment of colored pills)

Look:
(Man, Battered old armor, worn face, sad eyes, hard body)

An ancient suit of armor from another age. Time and use has seen it bent and cracked, but Solomon has always been meticulously hammering it back into shape, adding his own reinforcements and modifications from time to time. When the thick cloth bandana gets lowered, one can spy a grey beard and Solomon's worn face. The years haven't been kind, and many are surprised by his age. If the light catches him just right, a pair of tired, sad eyes peer from beneath the green helmet's wide brim.

Spoiler

Moves:

NOT TO BE FUCKED WITH: in battle, you count as a small gang, with harm and armor according to your gear.

Battlefeld instincts: when you open your brain to the world’s psychic maelstrom, roll+hard instead of roll+weird, but only in battle.

Bloodcrazed: whenever you inflict harm, inflict +1harm.

Hx:
Boda: -1
Phoenix: -2
Chelsea: -1
Sam: +2
Shadow: -1​

The Hardholder - some details to iron out as I feel like it

Name: 'Kindly' Sam

Look: Man, casual wear, forgiving eyes, wiry body

Stats:
Cool = 2
Hard = 2
Hot = 0
Sharp = 2
Weird = 0

Sam's run the Tower as long as there's been people living in it. He's hands off, has a reputation for mercy and trusting his people do their own thing. Until you push him too far - Sam don't make a show of you; you die quiet like, in your sleep, or get thrown out to fend for yourself until you learn some manners. Folks are pretty quick to bring their grievances to him and he's known to be a fair man.

Moves
Leadership
Wealth

Gear
Undecided; hunting rifle and a boot knife, probably.

Holding
Large
Market
Defensilble

The Tower is an old and remarkably intact building among the greening ruins of the city. Tall, sturdy, easy to protect - although no one knows what the fuck it was for in the past.
People come from miles around to trade and there's been good scavenging in the surrounding wrecks until relatively recently. Now it might be picked clean and if the trade routes ever collapse, well, the Tower goes with them.

Gang
Disciplined
Small
Shit garage

Vehicles ain't a priority. The ruins are too dense with foliage and rubble to get most armour rolling anyway. Sam hand picks his gang, with an eye for purpose and loyalty. We thrive together or we die together.

THE BATTLEBABE

Name:
Shadow 'Fang'

Look:
(Man, Handsome Face, Cool Eyes, Muscler Body, Casual Wear)

Shadow 'Fang' several of the girls he's been with has described him as impossibly beautiful with his perfectly sculpted face, and body. His very strong jawline is more pronounced with his perfectly chiseled chin, and his high cheekbones. Which actually makes his eyes pop out, and grab people's attentions. When his hair isn't styled it tends to always be messy, and has an unusual yet all natural Jet Black color. However, when in direct sun light it appears as a dark blue. His body has a perfect bronze colored tan. A well defined solid rock hard twelve pack, and very highly toned muscles. He happens to be about six foot four. His eyes however are really fucking cool as they change color to reflect his mood.
