A group of people wake up naked in a strange, fantastical, and futuristic world. The last thing they all remember is being struck by a large white truck. How will they survive?

Character Creation (I can add people mid-playthrough so make a character whenever)

You can give me as much or as little information as you want and I'll fill in the rest reasonably.

-First name, optional nickname, last name (have an extra skillpoint if your nickname is close to your forum name)
-Sex
-Age
-Appearance (give me a description, reference picture, or character whose look you want to steal.)
-Body type (regular male, regular female, stick, fatass, hulk)
-Favorite color (gives small mood bonus if you're wearing that color)
-Any other details on how you'd like your character to behave ("I want to use a sniper rifle/shotgun/whatever, prioritize my life above all others, and primarily work in the kitchen." or "I want to avoid combat unless absolutely necessary, tend to wounds, and keep everything clean when nobody needs looking after." or "I want to be an asexual vampire who is close friends with the strongest guys in the colony.")
-30 points to put into skills. Any level past 10 costs 2 points. You also get 4 passion points you can assign to any skill for bonus XP. Max of 2 per skill.

► skills

-Aspirations. Optionally choose up to 4. These will influence who takes priority for certain roles. For example, if you want to be a leader, aspire to be a leader. If you want to be a vampire, aspire to be a sanguophage.

► aspirations

-Childhood (adds or subtracts skill points. Choose with your heart.)

► childhood backstory

-Adulthood (if over 18)

► adulthood backstory

-Traits. 3 free positives. +1 positive for every 2 negatives. Free neutrals. 10 max. Some of these will conflict with each other so use your best judgement (careful shooter vs trigger happy).

► traits

Name: Oscar "Oyster" Saucier
Sex: M
Age: 44
Appearance: Ryan Gosling in Drive
Body type: Regular male

Aspirations are new, but optional. Backstories are completely different and new traits have been added. The setting is futuristic this time so I'd recommend shooting over melee generally. That said, I can just approximate anyone who wants to port their old guy.

There are mechanite infused monoblades which have AIs you can form persona bonds with to get special bonuses, but it's a riskier way to fight than shooting from cover. It can work once personal shield belts are developed.

I feel like your little utopia lacks spice. Let me introduce you to Raviola, the human worm.

-First name = Raviola
-Sex = Female
-Age = Whatever, but it works if it's something stupid, like 500.
-Appearance = Very thin, sickly pale, with either short hair or none.
-Body type = Thinnest possible.
-Favorite color = Green.
Raviola is a bloodthirsty, nihilistic sociopath so whatever perks, traits and skills work with that, do it.

A Chinese opium den

Give me the same guy.

Episode 1: A New Home

In a world

In a valley

Next to some boreal cliffs

Twelve complete strangers awaken on a slab of broken concrete with ancient looking machinery dotting the corners. After introducing themselves to each other, they learn that the last thing they all remember is being flattened by a speeding truck. Wow, what a setup!

Everybody has watched those men vs women survival videos on YouTube and they're all on the level. They come up with autistic titles for themselves based on their skills and scramble down south to set up shelter by the mountain.

Most of the gang starts hacking down trees while others stack the logs. It turns out Zoth is an excellent miner.

Stack gets some fishing in at the nearby pond.

Chuck gets to work making some dogshit shortbows, Hoss fries up koi with mushrooms, and more of this cave gets dug out.

Crops start to be sown next to a hungry bear. Nothing we can do about it except wait until a few more bows are crafted.

Night time rolls around and everybody heads to bed. It's not much, but at least we're inside, warm, and breathing in that sweet sweet campfire smoke.

Horseshoes in the morning is almost as good as video games.

It's getting a little more homier around here.

We test the bows out on an otter who stole some fish earlier. Even with 5 bowmen it took a while to bring down. Best to wait until we have everyone equipped before prodding the bear.

Because Elias has the abductee background, his genetic code has been scrambled a bit. He moves more quickly in the sun and much slower when it's dark.

Chuck, now free from the shackles of clothing, crafts a masterpiece shortbow which he grants to Boon. Some bitch showed up as a guest so we graciously let her sleep on the floor for a while.

While out hunting, Kalarion discovers some sort of monolith with twisting lines carved into the surface, forming a disturbing pattern. Maybe when we're less busy we can send someone to check it out.

Our guest leaves a small token of appreciation for letting her crash here - 486 rounds of 5.56x45mm NATO (AP-I). How nice!

Plenty of game in this area, at least for now.

The bear finally strikes before we get the chance. It chases Oscar who is luckily close enough to the base to reach backup.

It takes a couple dozen arrows, but a few manage to find vital organs and bring it down. Unfortunately, it was able to get a good swipe in at Vitya. The good news is that he'll be fine, the bad news is that there's nothing left of his right eye.

A squirrel self-tamed and joined us.

We could just slaughter it for a quick meal, buuuuuut

A quick barricade is set up with a ditch in front of it in case we have to fight off more wildlife.

Or, it seems, aggressive bandits. Archers beat lead pipes pretty easily though.

Tweed chucks him in the river, where he'll be carried away and become someone else's problem. Very convenient.

......................

Zoth notices a strange glow as he's mining out the western hallway. After clearing some rubble he finds a very large and advanced looking door. There's no obvious means of opening it, but there's an accessible electrical doohickey that someone might be able to hack given enough time. What could be inside? Is it even worth risking triggering some hi-tech security system? Find out next chapter!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's our new home

The people decide that three heads are better than one, and that we should have a council of 3 leaders. Stack gets a spot, due to his aspiration to become a leader, but who should the other two be?

Kalarion decides we might as well name our faction and settlement if we're going to be here for a while.

Seems like a lot of work and attempt to get people invested only to make a mistake and delete everything once something goes wrong.
