No problem, man. Just find a viable character.

Re: The End of Days [OOC]

A burglar? Then our characters will know eachother...

Re: The End of Days [OOC]

Already in a Zombie game but 2 can't hurt. How about a Hollywood stunt man who is on vacation after a movie he shot in Australia? How many disadvantages and Quirks are you allowing?

There is no real limit, but make the character logically built. If you're an ass with the number of disadvantages, I'll be an ass about exploiting them. If the guy's playable, I'll accept him.

Re: The End of Days [OOC]

How cinematic is the campaign? As in, is "Computer hacking" an available skill, can I make a kid that is actually an adult in a kid body, and all the whiz, or should I make something a bit more real?

Re: The End of Days [OOC]

IMHO, Make someone who won't get eaten, or still has skills when the power goes out...

I will follow the Rule of Cool in terms of cinematics: I'll give bonus points for doing cool stuff. At the same time, that kind of character is almost useless in this setting; I'd recommend building a more survivable character.

Re: The End of Days [OOC]

Here goes my character:

Albert Jones

Albert works for the hotel's casino as a Probability Verification Specialist; he catches( and interrogates and intimidates) people presumed of cheating, and is an adjunct of the hotel security department. He grew up as a bit of a tough, and knows his way around the back of a pool cue, and most other blunt instruments as well.

Re: The End of Days [OOC]

Anderson Maxon is a contract killer in position at the island resort to get his next contract, when the virus spreads and he cannot meet his contact. Stuck without a job and unreachable resources secured in undisclosed banks and security boxes throughout the world, Maxon must use what is at hand to make it through to his next job.
