#1: Tales from the LoopName: Lindsey Lewis.
Age: 13.
Birthday: December 27th.
Favorite Song: Close to Me by The Cure.
Archtype: The Troublemaker: You’re the tough guy or girl who never holds back. Your classmates are afraid of you or look up to you. The teachers hate you and everyone is nagging you to change. But they don’t understand that you don’t live in the same world as they do. When life turns on you, humiliates you, and hurts you, there is only one thing to do. Fight back!

Iconic Item: Sparky the Spaniel.
Problem: My mum says that I’m good for nothing. Mum’s new boyfriend eggs her on!
Drive: I’ll do anything to get away from home. Can’t wait until I’m 18!
Pride: I pulled Sparky out of the river in the middle of winter! He hasn’t left my side since.

Relationship: Mr. Neil is the only teacher I have ever liked, and now he is in hospital. He won’t wake up from whatever nightmare he is having.
Anchor: Nan. She’s much nicer than mum. How did that happen?

Things are rough at home, which means Lindsey spend every minute she can outdoors. The day she turns eighteen might as well be a million years away, but Lindsey is counting down the clock all the same. She spends the days with her friends; some of whom she suspects are a little afraid of her. If not her, then the stuff she gets up to… the stuff she drags them into all too often!

#2: Star Borg

Name: Koldomi Reddman
Species: Human

Magi-Knight (Jedi): For a thousand generations, the Magi Knights were the guardians of peace throughout one billion worlds. That was before the dark times. Before the Empire. Your order is all but extinct, hunted across the stars and killed by the Emperor’s elite forces.

Though you have incredible mystic powers, you risk discovery when using them. The only thing in the galaxy worse than being discovered by the Empire is what happens to those who helped keep your secret.

Force Power: Mind Muddle - Cloud the brains of simple minded creatures and issue simple hypnotic commands.

Hunted: Each time you use one of your Magi-Arts or ignite your Lightsaber, roll 1d20. If you roll a 5 or lower, the Imperials have sensed your presence and your Nemesis will zero in on your location soon. This number increases by 1 each time you take one of these actions.

Nemisis: Gigus Noldo the Ripper.

Burner Identity: Reclusive Healer - You must help everyone who asks. DR14 PRS test to resist.

Gear:
Lightsaber (2d6).

Class: Fighter - Blood-soaked gladiators in dented armor, acrobatic duelists with darting swords, or far-eyed elven archers who carve their legends with steel and grit.

Weapon Mastery (Greataxe): Choose one type of weapon, such as longswords. You gain +1 to attack and damage with that weapon type. In addition, add half your level to these rolls (round down).
Grit (Strength): Grit. Choose Strength or
Dexterity. You have advantage on checks of that type to overcome an opposing force, such as kicking open a stuck door (Strength) or slipping free of rusty chains (Dexterity).
Talent: +1 to melee and ranged attacks.

#5: The Walking DeadName: Elijah Miller
Archtype: The Doctor - New diseases always hit the medical staff the hardest. I was right in the middle of it, in the ER at Atlanta's busiest hospital, when people started to turn. I lost so many. Jane, my wife Julia, Harry, and Tom. I don't know a single person who got out of there, except me. Before I ran, I examined one of them, a girl who was strapped to a bed before she died. This is no ordinary sickness. Maybe it really is the end of days, in a biblical sense? My theory is as good as anyone's.

Robert was blue in the face… They’d left home in a hurry and didn’t pack his inhaler. Luckily, I’d managed to swipe some stuff on the way out the door when this all started.

The way it was clawing at the bus… well, it was only going round Ferry’s Bend that threw the thing off of me. Any longer and it’d’ve opened up the bus like a can of beans!

Mary-Beth Lincoln has been driving a Lafayette CityBus for going on three years. The drunks that take the last bus home don’t mind telling her that she’s much too pretty to be driving the night bus. It’s not like Mary-Beth had the luxury of being choosy when it came to making an honest living… what with her Mark running off with that homewrecker and taking all the money with him. May they rot in Hell!

Impressive you're both doing this challenge! I wish I had the time and energy. I don't. But I *will* run a game for Mary-Beth Lincoln. Is she a certain daughter?!

#7: GROK?!Name: PAL 9000
Background: Ownerless Automaton

Attributes:
Physical: d8
Mental: d6
Social: d6

Traits:
Personality: Nervous - It’s a big, bad world out there. An automaton needs a master in a time like this. PAL 9000 didn’t have one anymore…

Motivation: Accumulate Great Wealth - PAL’s going to make it big someday! The Wealthiest Ownerless Automaton in the Grokland! Quite the title!

Trouble: Impoverished - The only problem with that is PAL 9000 hasn’t a coin to its name, and not the foggiest idea on how to make one, nevermind many!

Assets:
Rocket Boots - A final gift from PAL 9000’s one-time owner. An automaton with a single mode of movement was sooooo PAL 3000.

Unlocked Data Pad - A final, final gift from PAL 9000’s one-time owner. It’s a pity it had to be pried from the man’s cold dead hands. (Not PAL’s doing!)

Screw-On Replacement Head - The color is off. The make and model are off, too, but beggars can’t be choosers, can they?

Inefficient Duplicator - Hasn’t yet proved itself valuable during a heist…

#10: WanderhomeName: Barnabus Enwright
Archtype: The Firelight - It is easy to get lost in the darkness and the deep. The Firelight at your side will always guide the way. You are alive. You care is forward-thinking, mutual and shining bright.

Things I Try To Be:
Everywhere At Once: There are many who need a light in the darkness. A friendly word, an open ear, a warm fire in the night.
Always Positive: It’s too easy to fall into dark talk about what has come before and may return again soon! Fewer are those who will sing a happier song with a merrier heart.

Things I Know I Can’t Be:
A Good Judge of Character: We’ve all done things we are not proud of. I won’t pretend to know how to separate the good from the bad. We should be wary of those that claim to do so…
Consistently Correct: We can only strive to be more correct than we were yesterday…

The Look:
Shining eyes that pierce the darkness.
Patchwork scarf.
Reliable staff.
Mud-soaked cloak.

---

You have a firefly, your companion that stays by your side no matter what. They sleep during the day and light up at night. They are luminescent. How did you meet? They led me out of danger at my darkest moment, and have stuck with you ever since. They are confident.

A Light I Still Keep: A rusted iron lantern that my mother carried before me - May it bring warmth to those who need a reminder of the time long before.
