Pick a playbook that has not already been chosen and post your created character here.

Cool. I might have to do some more advertising. See if we can get some more in here.

Maybe give a description of the setting or set it up as an intro to AW for anyone who’s never tried it?

How do you want to do character sheets? In the game I joined before, we made Custom sheets with links to Google Docs sheets. Here is Scab, the Child-thing. Obviously, the character will be reworked for this game. And if you prefer a different method, I'll adjust.

So I when I read through the playbooks and came to the faceless, I immediatly thought of Overwatch's Roadhog and that kinda didn't let me go since then... I now have made a character, who is very closely inspired by him.
Would that be ok for you guys or should I try to deviate more from the source material?
In the story he would probably be someone's enforcer or bodyguard (for a Hocus or a Hardholder for example).

I'm leaning towards Maestro D' or a driver or maybe even a savvyhead depending on what you have in mind the adventure to be.
I'd like to be a character that sort of runs a war-rig or mobile home base that we base our operations in (sort of like Jet from cowboy bebop or Brother from FFx)
- although if it doesn't make sense for what you have in mind or would seem too constricting to have a constant home base, I might play a Savvyhead so I can keep up with the action
- any preferences ?

Honestly, I love the idea of having a mobile base/war rig that we can use. Glad to change my workspace preferences around to accommodate this if its possible.

nice! that could be cool right ?
there's a skill I could take where I can aquire things through my network, so I may be able to help get components you need, or whatever.
my only fear being a Maestro'D is if we're going to be doing a lot of 'dungeon crawling' there may be situations where I need to leave the 'base' in order to participate in the adventure in which case I'd be leaving behind all the strength of my character and essentially be a weak character during most of the action (kind of like being a sniper who can't use a gun, or a driver without a car) -
Wolf, does having a character centered on the existence of some sort of 'home base' fit into what you have planned ?

A mobile base/war rig is perfect for my Child-Thing's den!
(choose 3):
-The gutted shell of a Cessna, Piper, Cirrus, or some other single-engine plane.
-Hundreds of dead smart phones, cemented as tiling into the walls.
-Crooked, labyrinthine, interconnected tunnels and boltways.
-A calendar, perfectly preserved, showing beautiful people in beautiful places.
-An unexploded artillery shell. It is (circle 1): live, not live, who knows.
-A carefully-kept stockpile of canned and shelf-stable food, worth 5-barter in sum:
-A radio that still works, hand-cranked, if anyone’s broadcasting.
-A radio that speaks only to you.
-A pipe that drips clean water into a polished basin.
-Some uncertain number of your siblings and kind, no two alike.
-A way into ancient underground vaults, cavernous, echoing, and endless.
-A way into a terrifying place of death, where countless skeletons lie.
-A way into an alien place of unscratched glass, shifting luminosity, and symbols of unguessed
meaning.
-Ways into basically everyone’s spaces, even if they’ve taken pains to close them of

so I made a character on the assumption that a MaestroD' will work out.
I spent way too long on this drawing haha, He looks scary but is really nice to his friends
Wolf, take a look and let me know how it all sits with you.
for protection I thought I would like to have a female bouncer like vasquez from alien (post apocalyptic of course)
right now I have the offerings of the bar pretty tame and straight forward "food, drink and coffee" - but I could make it more racey like drugs sex and rock and roll if everyone thinks that would be fun and if you think that would be theme appropriate .. ?
Grave Fall the Maestro'D
also, I don't really understand Hx right now.. can I get some help with that ?

So to bring it all into one place:
AW Characters
Moofsalot - Battlebabe
Jabes.plays.RPG - Child-thing
Caesar - Faceless
Heroias - Maestro d'
DarkReaver1998 - Savvyhead
Dead_Zer0 - hasn't chosen yet or said anything.
I'd also play the Rig's driver, if you think that's a better fit, either would be fine for me =D

(Scab, the Child-thing
(Google Docs Character Sheet)
So does everything look okay? Including his lizard mount, and my choices for Scab's den features?

Looks good to me, I think Scab would know every ventilation shaft and pipe on the crawler~
But wouldn't the boomerang be near and thrown?

Dart, the Driver

Also, the 4x4 Van Probably has better wheels (fitting the offroad tag) than seen in the picture, I just loved the rest of the vehicle.
