Character Creation Part 1

Look to the Left

Back from the Void
Location
OH CANADA!!!
The smell of rotten flesh and iron permeated the air. Old wood stained with dry blood. Officers surveying the ancient building as they hauled whatever was left of the victim to a police laboratory in Winnipeg.

The victim can't be called human anymore. It doesn't even have the small mercy of being called a rotting corpse. It was merely a pile of flesh, pounded, grinded and thrown carelessly around the room.

It took a while for the police to believe, longer to come, but took little to scar them. The only reason anyone could've called it a person was the victim's skin, perfectly kept intact with no signs of blemishes nor cuts save for one clean slice across the back and the nails that were skewered into the hands and feet pinning them into the wall and forming a cross.

The victim was named Nancy Fern. A simple women at the age of 54 who ran a small but dependable proprietorship that give sound financial advice.

She was the fourth person to die this month.

She was but another person in a series of murders that have been hanging over the quiet town of Fahrenheit, Manitoba. Four people with seemingly no connection to each other have died within weeks of each other's deaths.

Such tragedy not only reached the ears of the media, but also the hearts of five young teens; a group of chosen few whose sense of justice burned with a desire stop whoever perpetrated such crimes. Fate itself weaving a tale of the most depraved of evil vs the highest scions of justice as the five teens struggled to reclaim the peace they once had.

You are not one of those chosen few. You're not even a major player behind the machinations of the crime nor even a minor factor. You're just some random Jill or Joe who so happens to lived in that very town.

So unfortunately for you, fate had just dropped the script and by dropped we meant dropped it in a paper shredder, twice.

So, through some horrible luck on your side you been thrown into the thick of it. But maybe, just maybe, your involvement just might change the entire course of this tale, thus revealing the hidden darkness of the town.

Maybe. It's very likely that you'll die.

So… Nameless Schmuck… Looks like you'll get a bigger role in this play; even minor characters have a name so you'll need one.

What will be your name? (First name, Last name)

[] Write in name

Are you a boy, girl, bi-gender, or… (Self explanatory)

[] Gender

What is it that you seek in life? (This will determine your high concept)

[] I want to make the world a better place

[] I want fame and glory

[] I, *insert name here*, just wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life

[] Write in

Rules and Stats


  1. What the GM says goes. No arguments. (Okay, maybe you can argue but it must be a good argument)
  2. Feel free to point out any awkward sentence structures, bad grammar, and spelling mistakes. It'll help me grow as a writer.
  3. Don't be pricks. No one likes pricks. Also it'll bring the mods here if it goes too far and that'll suck for everyone.
  4. You only get three lives. Once they're up, the quest is over. Although bullshit caused by the dice will be exceptions if it's just too stupid.
  5. Have fun!
  6. And That's about it...
  7. Seriously why are you reading this?
  8. Stop it, there's nothing here for you to read.

Well, actually there are more things to talk about. For one thing we're using a Tabletop RPG system called Fate Core. A flexible system that relies less on hard number crunching and more on special traits called Aspects.

What are those?

Well to put it simply, they're a sort of short sentence/trait that gives a condensed descriptor for the person or object in question. Yes, both of those things can have Aspects, in fact, anything can have an aspect. That run down house over there can have the Aspect: Violating all safety checks.

There are two kinds for characters. High Concept and Trouble.

High Concept is what a character is all about. So say one character has the High Concept: World Level Fencing Prodigy. You immediately get a good idea as to what that character is all about.

Trouble on the other hand is the things that keep that character down, troubles that are either internal or external that they can never get rid of so easily. So say that previous example has the Trouble: Haughty as fuck. Well, they're not going to be making any meaningful friends anytime soon.

Aspects however can be double edged swords however. So thing like World Level Fencing Prodigy might sound good on paper but such a life would also bring large amounts of stress and heavy expectations on one's shoulders.

I'll write a bit more on how the system works later. Cause at the moment of writing this, the toilet and my bowel movement are calling me with their siren song.
