Captain Foo posted:Delta: a Driver - Listen, I don't usually give free rides. I don't like giving free rides. Fuel on this island is expensive as hell, and I don't want to be caught in open water when a storm comes in and all I've got left to get back to safe harbor is a paddle. That said...there was that one time I...no, I wasn't going soft! He probably couldn't pay me anyway, and I wasn't about to leave a guy to get eaten. Oh, wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Remember when I mentioned that some of the village things that live on the riverbanks like to take shots at people going by? Well, some of em like to do it with nets--who knows where they get the net-guns from--because for whatever reason they chose to travel in a place where fish don't go and beans don't grow. I think you know what I'm getting at here. Well, I've tied up the ship to the shore, taken off my top since it's a hot day, and I'm taking a moment to check the battery when this kid comes running out of the plant life. Says his name's "Piggy" or something and there are some crazies further in that ate his parents, and now they're after him, and if I could please please please take him somewhere, elsewhere, anywhere but here. I'm about to tell him that there aren't supposed to be any cannibal gangs along this particular river, when another guy comes out of the bushes with a bloody cutlass and a twitch like he hasn't eaten in days. Then another, then another... ...let's just say I'm glad I was shaking down the river patrol ship then.

Cassie Fire the BattleBabe Musical Accompaniment I'm a native to this loving shithole of an island, and I don't think anything can compare to me now, than how the village named Arroyo was like before the meanest gang came through and burned it to the ground. But you see, they made a mistake, a big loving god drat mistake. They left me alive. Maybe it was ignorance, or loving luck, I don't give a poo poo really. The reality is that that, I am one cold bad rear end mother fucker and I am coming for the Kells until every last loving one is dead. They might have started the fire, but it is still burning and when I put a bullet in the last one's head, or I end up dead in some ditch, I am going to keep going. That is the fact, and highlight that poo poo. It is gonna become really important to you motherfucker, cause you got two choices, you can help me, or you can get the gently caress out of my way. Not that I don't party, everyone has to blow off some steam really, and that just the way of things, you can't really stay on the path all the time you know. After a while every goat path looks like a main trail if you get what I mean, and that will just get you lost and dead. So I hang out at a little dive on the edge of a forest, called, O'Malley's Respite run by another one of those shipwrecked transplant types, Doug O'Malley. I know where his mind roams, but I'm not interested. Really, I just have my gun, my drink and a brief moment of not knowing anything, other than the music, and the laughs. Hell, if I can combine drinking and shooting usually it is a drat fine day. Use to escort some traders between lovely posts in the island. An actual native, I just happen to know what the gently caress I am doing, and not some drugged out punk trying to play at soldier. You know how it is, looks good till bout day 4 when they start getting the shakes and you can see scratching at needle marks or gently caress, worse. Guarding is okay work, but it doesn't help as much as I would like hunting down the Kells, but it gets me paid and that is the important part. Usually do that with a friend, named Sally Sledge. Big gal, can lift more logs than anyone I know one on each arm and a few balanced on her shoulders. We pretty much the best of friends and we get paid to do it. Now Sally, she might be a friend, but we all got our demons, mine is killing and drink, hers is a bit more complicated. Gambling, and gently caress if I don't know that gambling can gently caress you up. She tries to win it all, blow her pay and sometimes the next days too. Now me? I can keep a little flask on that going along the way, but her, well, lets just say it takes to nasty places. Good thing for her, she is one tough buff gently caress then. Sally, ain't never come out worse for wear, but a lot of others have. Her and I are the current guards of some lovely old trader going gently caress knows where always hanging out for a week in a new place before he decides to skip whatever shacktown we are in. I keep it quiet and lethal, she is the hammer. If I can't gently caress everything up and make them dead, she comes in and makes them dead. Really it is the best of both worlds. Just need to see the Kells' Leader Lightning Jack on a loving pike, might go about doing that soon. Where are you living? When I don't travel, I have a tree house toward the middle of the island, near the old smoked out Arroyo it keeps me straight. Keeps my eyes on the prize. Sally usually sleeps on my porch when she is burned out and broke. What, if anything, keeps you up at night? poo poo, I might be ice cold and kill you more than think of anything else, but that night I saw my village burn? That just always keeps me up at night. The drink? That lets me sleep, I can think of being the bad rear end motherfucker I am. Don't have to remember, remember? That is loving hard, much easier to just gently caress things up till they seem right again. Nothing can't be like taken care off without enough bullets, but dreams and memories? Can't shoot those.

Captain Foo posted:Diesel: a Driver - Heh, yeah it is sometimes. People have this image of Drivers like me being welded to our loving seats or something. Even people who've seen us indoors and out of our cars. I'll say this, the Wagon is the meanest piece of steel and rubber on the road but it's loud like a motherfucker. Just occasionally something needs to be done quiet like and I'll turn off the engine and footslog it. The other thing is people. Dunno what it is, maybe it's the physical barrier of having a door in between you and them, but people tend to open up a bit more when you're out of the car. Not that having a flash ride hasn't gotten me laid a bunch, I'm just saying when time comes to talk serious, I step away from the car. None of that "long, slow walks on the beach" crap though. I like to go fast. Say what you're saying and let me get back to my poo poo.

Captain Foo posted:Cassie Fire: a Battlebabe - Cassie The worst bet? gently caress it had to be with those cannibals and to be fair, she would have won that if she hadn't been smashed. Lets get that right. Rope tricks are her thing, but you see she got in trouble with the Jo'nsun Tribe. They fight once a year and well, the consequences are lethal. As in they eat you, and it isn't cause they need for, strengthens the tribe or whatever bullshit. Well they have three hosed up tasks. All like easy for someone built like a mountain like Sally is. Sally had eyed one of the tribe for a while, and she wanted to like all things gamble for it. I don't know if it was a fling or if she just needed someone to carry a pack for her across the way, she never talked to me about that poo poo. Hell, none of my business what she does with poo poo. Either way, that was the deal, she won the contest or she was the sacrifice. Apparently, she upped the bet or so I hear. What for? gently caress if I know. I saw, Charly Jo'nsun standing there with his big gently caress off cane waving it about. And she was off, drunker than I have ever seen her, and I love to drink let me tell you. I was loving biting my nails, cause gently caress Sally what the gently caress where you doing this time. I just wanted to go, all anxious to all hell. That usually makes me want to start killing poo poo, but I couldn't and gently caress was I jonesing. She finally toppled at the balance beam and I about screamed in frustration. What the gently caress what she doing? Why did she loving have to ruin everything being stupid. She was lead away to the hut to be prepared for food times. I didn't take to kindly to it. A bit of a kicked in door and a cut throat of the Billy Jo'nsun and she was free. I told her the one thing i could then and gently caress all I could think. "Don't you ever loving do that again." At least I don't have to sit through Tribal songs of Luey Luey anymore.

Oh dang! I think I've got some low-grade survivor's guilt for not getting rejected with all that other quality.  Dick, Chopper Everyone take Hx+1 on Dick, unless you've got a reason to do otherwise. 'Toyman,' you once stood up to Dick and a couple of his buddies in a scuffle over some salvage. They thought you were just greedy, and would back off after a couple kicks, but you cranked the crazy up to eleven and convinced them to let it go. Dick got a hint about how deep your hoarding thing goes, and he's taking +1 on top of whatever Hx you're giving him. StringOfLetters fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Mar 31, 2014 |

The Toyman, Hoarder Everyone, take Hx+1 with the Toyman, as he brags about his hoard. Sansa Merci, the Toyman judges you rich, and will take an additional +1 on top of whatever you say. You control a community, and may bring all their treasures to bear should you wish it, including the shiny guns and pretty trinkets. Dick, the Toyman is unimpressed. That stop sign did make good spikes for your clubs, but it sparkled and twinkled so prettily as you cut it to bits. The Toyman judges you poor, and takes -1 to what you tell him. Ebbs, the Toyman sees the thing you keep safest. While it is worthy of respect, still he judges you poor by his standards, and takes -1 to what you tell him. Sethro, when the Toyman hears nothing else in the night, he hears you. You hold a great relic of the past, and dress so, so pretty. The Toyman judges you rich, and will take an additional +1 on top of whatever you say. I almost wrote this entirely in character, which would probably have gotten silly before long.

Sansa Merci, Hardholder Sansa's usually inclined to keeping her trust in a very small circle, but at the end of the day, she don't have to trust anybody to be generous with resources- that's how you buy yourself "friends," or at least people friendly enough that you can start buildin'. Everyone takes Hx+1 on Sansa. Sethro, your radio station was the beacon that allowed Sansa to drag her crumbling wreck to shore. Sansa takes +1 to whatever you tell her. Ebbs, you and Sansa had a... disagreement once, about salvage rights. Namely, she told you to get the gently caress off her shore and you stole what, by her eyes, was rightly hers. Sansa ignores whatever you give her and takes Hx+3. Instead.

Ebbs, Operator Dick, one time Ebbs got into a fight with another gang. It happened to be a gang that had some scrapes with yours, so you helped Ebbs fight them off. You take Hx+2 from Ebbs. Sethro, Ebbs got you that part you needed one time. When it came time to repay him for it, you didn't show up to the meeting. The deal pissed off Ebbs, but not so much that he felt a need to go back to your place. The incident put some distance between Ebbs and Sethro. Sethro gets Hx-1 from Ebbs. Everyone else gets +1. In regards to Ebbs relationship to other people, he likes to keep it all on the up and up. Ebbs is a straight shooter. He does his best to know who he's dealing with. Ebbs takes what people give him and adds +1 to it.

Sethro, The Savvyhead Now Sehtro might be a little strange himself, giving all others Hx-1, but there's one person he finds to be a bit strange: Sansa Merci. On the show she's always The Queen of Wrecks and Wracks and the Queen is always filling up current events. Sethro just can't understand where she's coming from with all this 'civilization' stuff and has a reporter's ear when it comes to finding out, giving her Hx+1. Now when it comes to the other movers and shakers on the island, Sethro's got other stuff to do and other stuff to learn and gives what everyone says -1. Except when it comes to Dick, where it's +1. Him and his gang of moto-mongols seem fair enough, but what's fair when it comes to what he's got going on? They haven't given the studio a lotta attention, but sometimes you gotta wonder. Dick, are you cool? Bear Enthusiast fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Apr 1, 2014 |

Ebbs' place is in the north. He's salvaged from the shipwrecks when there isn't much on the shore and gets a weird vibe from the statues. Zed is the person Ebbs sells a lot of his salvage to. Zed can be found in River Delta. Oahu Bob works as a representative for Ebbs and others. Oahu Bob helps people find the help they need for a fee. Oahu Bob can be found at O'Malley's Respite.

Ebbs has two gigs. Scavenging and killing a scumbag (the scumbag's name? gently caress if Ebbs knows. Everyone knew the dude as the Creepy Bastard). Ebbs happened to find an old wreck that the waves washed in. No telling where it was from, but it gave Ebbs some barter. Killing Creepy Bastard was community service, but someone at Gray Ferry certainly wanted it done. Ebbs doesn't know who, he got the gig from Oahu Bob. Gigs: 2d6+2 11
