TftF Character Creation

Hello all! Will get to character creation some point tonight.

Looks like we have a Jock, Snob and Rocker so far!

*rolls eyes* "Whatever."

heh. Yeah, that's right. We're not too far into things right now. Just starting to figure out how we all know each other.

I'm sure that over the course of the last 2+ years Eric and Sabine would have passed each other in the halls or around town. She lives in town. If he is getting his little brother to music lessons, they may even have crossed paths at the same music school. IIRC, music lessons in Sweden are free?

@C1NDER,

I happened to notice this in your first character brief up-thread.
You mention friends and relationships. He left for boarding school at age 12? Could there be a friend or relationship that has changed in interests from how he remembers back then and is now Sabine's friend or relationship...now into rocker culture and maybe into her?

This may be the cause of some mild friction between them. He's only been back for a few months. It could also be a starting point for an odd friendship. I gather he also likes music, with the mention of his collection of CDs.

This is what I was starting to work towards with that, but at the time needed to wait and see how other characters fleshed out.

I like the idea of having been friends with one or more of the other teens before he left for boarding school. Now upon returning he tries to continue those friendships where he left off, but finds that in just a few short years everyone has changed so much. It never occurs to him that he's also changed a lot, and those friends - though they remember him fondly and are willing to give me a chance, find him to be utterly annoying at times.

I like the idea that one of those friends could be Sabine's friend, and maybe that's how were introduced. He definitely likes music and gets really into it, but doesn't talk about it much - none of his boarding school 'friends' cared about music and made fun of people that walked around with their discman chained to them all day. He'll need to get over that.

@Bryn, what do you think of Eric and Mikael growing up together and being friends up until Mikael moved away? I feel like the rich cool kid and the athletic, popular jock could have been pretty good friends. Then any connection Eric has with Sabine could extend to me as we try to resume our friendship now that I've returned to Stenhamra.

@Cinder - that works for me!

So - Eric and Mikael were childhood friends, recently reconnected. Eric met Sabine while he was dropping off and picking up his brother and they got chatting. Then Eric would have introduced Mikael and Sabine at some point, probably at school, but maybe out and about in town.

Just need to introduce QCC now!

I’ll be playing a Seeker for sure! I’ll put him together tonight! If the kids sleep early :D

Excited to see a Seeker. I'm leaning towards that in your game, once we get to Flood, but it'll also depend on how my character's arc will play out until then

Oops. Actually ended up with a hacker. Divine inspiration sorta hit me! :D submitted!

Accepted the sheet, though unseen for now. I'll have a look later. Maybe you can share some backstory with us so you all can figure out how you're acquainted

Awesome

Nice to see a Hacker. A Seeker would have been cool too, but we were really shy on Tech skills.

@ KCC,

How long since Yumin and her family immigrated? Sabine is also not a true native even though she has family who are.

...which may come in handy 😉

No doubt.

I've been thinking and if you still like the idea of all (or at least most) being from outside Stenhamra proper and on the same bus to and from school, I can use that as a way to get you into the mystery even without you being a dedicated friend group like the adventure is assuming for the start...

Maybe you'll have an excuse to take the bus then. Might visit one of the others, potentially for Eric's brother

Or maybe to investigate some rumors with the others...
