Gonna close apps in the next few hours so if you've been lurking and considering applying, now's your chance! Get them in!

Also I think I've asked everyone a question and gotten a response from them, if that's not true tell me!

Apps are closed.

I mean it when I say this is a super strong pool of characters, so trying to make these choices are tough. Still need to whittle down the numbers for the sake of keeping the game running smoothly, so if you didn't make it, I'm sorry. I hope you'll stick around while the game runs, and who knows, maybe at some point your character can join in.

With that out of the way, here are my picks!

Triage the Angel, played by Tricky
Torch the Battlebabe, played by Comrade Gorbash
Liliana Korinkova the Savvyhead, played by The Unlife Aquatic
Spc. Burns the Quarantine, played by Alaois
Typhon the Chopper, played by Captain Foo

Go ahead and do your Hx/highlights while I get the first post underway, hopefully we can start by the end of the week!

I only have one question for all of you: can I trust you?

quote:

Go around again for Hx. On your turn, ask the other players which of their characters you can trust.
• For the characters you can trust, write Hx-1.
• For the characters you can’t trust, write Hx+3.

Triage-1
Liliana-1
Spc. Burns+3
Typhon-1

• Which one of you do I figure is doomed to self-destruction? Torch. For that character, write Hx-2.
• Which one of you put a hand in when it mattered, and helped me save a life? Liliana. For that character, write Hx+2.

For everyone else, write Hx+1. You keep your eyes open.

Torch -2
Burns +1
Typhon +1
Liliana +2

Yeah, you can. Triage is the straight-forward type.

Liliana is the premier mechanic in these parts, in a vehicle focused wasteland that means something. No one wants a mechanic who will tell your enemies about your weak gas tank or bad brake lines for a spark plug and some scrap. People rely on her to keep their ride's secrets, and she takes that seriously.

Tricky posted:

If Tricky likes:

Once, while Liliana was doing a run from Afphron's Crossing, she came across Triage and her crew on the side of the road. The First Response's lights were flickering, and she could see people in the back. So she pulled over, and checked on them. Turns out their battery was dying, stranding them and compromising the life support for the woman they were working on. Liliana had the jump cables ready before they could finish asking for her help. She was late for her delivery, but didn't really mind.

Shannon is decked out in top-of-the-line military equipment and a custom motorcycle that looks spotless, and seemingly emerged from the ether. No, I don't think anyone like Torch would trust her.

You other fuckers consider:

• Which one of you figures that you could take me in a fight, if it came to it? For that character, write Hx+2.
• Which one of you once stood up to me, gang and all? For that character, write Hx+3.

The rest of you, I write Hx-1. Just not really into other people, yanno?

Torch: You can trust me. Crags can be nasty fuckers sure but we ain't fuckin' liars.

Triage could fit for this. I could see him making a principled stand to protect someone in his care, even if Typhon got aggro about it.

I'm more saying if someone has a more narratively interesting idea besides "Torch is an rear end in a top hat and would have stood up to the Crags on some dumbass poo poo out of pure contrariness" they should jump in.

Lili, you definitely let people see how strange you are, but I think you try not to let on how sharp you actually are.

Typhon, the road ahead is paved in blood. Stay hard if you wanna live.
Triage, lotta folks could use a doc. Not all of them want to play fair. Keep your wits about you and stay sharp.
Torch, your guns are the only thing that are gonna keep you going. Roll hard or die trying.
Lili, those cars loving speaking to you. It's weird, and it's the only advantage you got out there.
Burns, ain't no way you're gonna survive in this dark new world if you don't stay sharp.

I'm hoping to get an MC post every weekday, maybe missing a few here and there. Ideally I'd be able to update everyone each time but I totally get if that pace is too fast, so like three or so posts a week from y'all would be rad :) I'm very rarely on the forums on weekends so don't expect Saturday/Sunday posts.

Oh also because I didn't make this clear in the game thread: the map is obviously pretty abstract, each line connecting places represents a road. That said travel is possible to places not connected via road, it just involves off-roading. And as this is a road war game, if you ever wanna hit the open road and go somewhere else, do it!

I am currently in the process of moving, so I may be a little slower going until things get settled. I don’t expect that 3 posts/week should be a problem, though.

Perfect for me, I have to update my own RP here on weekends.

Also, once again just to be clear because it's my first time playing AW here, do you want us to roll on Orokos and link the resultant roll or leave the rolling to you?

Roll on Orokos and link it. Here's an example, this is literally just the BBcode Orokos generates:

Doin' some bullshit as an example: 2d6+1 4

(also wow what a piss-poor roll, glad I don't have to roll for anything :v:)
