Oh, I'm really digging that. Smart choice of gifts too. I have some doubt about your stats, though. Guts is mostly used for persuading other characters or resisting mental attacks. As a hunter, I don't think you'll do the former too much, while you would need Brain to hide using your camo suit. So I suggest switching those two around. Or don't. Yours is the character, after all.

Also, I have a small question regarding your two big ceremonial knives. Are they supposed to funnel blood directly into your mouth or how does that work?
Pure curiosity.
And awesomeness.

One more tiny question. I might have just missed it or something but what gear is available to choose from other than the ones in the example?

You come up with your own! That's part of the fun. Shape your equipment around your character.

Oh, well you see Gurgle has managed to unlock the secrets to vacuum-based suction using a spine for cord- oh who am I kidding. No, they're rather large daggers that have a razor-sharp edge, but then gets stopped before sliding through completely by barbs designed to cause as much bleeding as possible. Continuing to push the blade into the wound forces open bloodstreams, allowing blood to escape into perforations in the dagger. They both have a bit of hollow space inside them, with a hole for the blood to run out near the grip, both allowing the wielder to hold a finger over the hole to gather blood or drink the blood without giving themselves a Chelsea Grin on the blade.

Oh that's so fucking awesome. I think I'm seeing a bit of a bleeding theme in here. Could incorporate that when we move over to Tribe creation.
Anyway, great job everyone with the characters. We've already got a wonderful cast of madmen, and still accepting more. Just... don't get too attached, eh?

They're not primarily for combat, thus the "ceremonial" in their name, but they're functional.

@TheDruid, Hey man! Love the rp! It really reminds of Torment: Tides of Numenera for some reason. Anyway, I have a question/request. I know that all stats(Brain, Muscle, Guts) needs to have at least 2 points in them, but I was wondering, would it be fine for my character to only have 1 pint in the Brain department? Maybe he was dropped as a kid, maybe he was just born that way, but I feel like it could be pretty interesting.
His dialogue would be pretty limited, but I promise to make sure to still reach the post limit. So, what do you say?

Eeeehhh... I dunno man. Having only 1 point in Brain could really gimp you from a gameplay perspective, but at the same time it could prove to be pretty interesting...
Shoot me a PM with your character sheet, we can discuss it there.
CrimsonEclipse
The One and Only
No worries man. I fully acknowledge and accept that my character would be impaired in a gameplay sense. But it's gonna quite fun and interesting while it lasts. 'Sides, maybe he could gain a perk.
Musclebrain: What your brain lost, your muscle received. Uses Muscle instead of Brain to solve all of life's problems.
That would be pretty hilarious to watch, especially when he saves the day with his idiocy while the smart people just watch in awe and disbelief.

I wasn't really sure what guts was tbh. I thought it was like instincts and reflexes. xD
Then yes, brains it is!

Alright, the concept is nice, but there's a small problem with your equipment. While it's true that the setting is post-apocalyptic, there are no proper remains of how the world was before. The new world is a vast expanse of flesh, bone and bodily fluids, inhabited by savage tribesmen who don't have the slightest idea of how everything was before the apocalypse.
However, your items can be easily replaced with some more appropriate variants: the 5 lighters can be Fire Larvae. the gas mask can be a plague doctor-styled mask made of leather that can keep all those noxious fumes out, while your cigarettes can be some sort of smokable fungi with performance-enhancing effects.
CrimsonEclipse
Heh, I can see how a character like that would work as comedic relief. Though perhaps this isn't really the setting where that side can shine/
And just to clarify, you probably won't get a perk for it if you choose to have 1 in Brains, since the trade-off would be another point that you can spend in Guts or Muscles.
If you want this drawback, I'll have to make it count for you.
But as I said, send me your sheet or your character concept and we can discuss it in PMs.
Kloudy
Glad we cleared that up.

Well, I've edited myself up.Btw, is it possible to attain more gifts as the rp progresses? I wouldn't mind tacking on sixth sense in order to create the ultimate badass assassin. xD
(On another note, im oddly super excited for this! : D)
ThaDruid
Killer Clown
Oh certainly, during the roleplay your characters will be able to gather a sort of "currency" that can be spent in different ways, such as obtaining new abilities.

No worries man! Even if my 1 Brain character won't be approved, I'm sure I'll still enjoy being a part of this rp.I have a question! What dangers do we face exactly? Any weird predators we need to look for? Environmental hazards? Weird flesh ground things that wants to eat us?
Kloudy
The Lore Savant
Nice!
Another question: I may have missed this, but is there some kind of plot? Will this strange tribe have to slay the heart deep beneath the earth or something, or are we completely free to just explore the world openly?
Squith

Yeah, that's why I asked about it earlier. Not super creative or aware what of does/doesn't exist in this setting yet. I tweaked it a little bit to what you said, so lemme know if I'm getting closer to having a usable character to start with

Smokeable fungi? Is there also proper plant life? Is it flesh-stylized?

Also another question. Using Guts to use the mould ability, is that permanent? Can I only use the Mould ability 4 times ever? Does it regenerate?

Half decent.
On the one hand, I feel like Fang needs a handler. On the other hand, I doubt he'd listen to any orders anyone gave him.

This crackhead pyromaniac is the smartest out of all of us. I think that says a lot.

Weird predators, pools of corrosive acid, mouths opening up from under you and chewing at your ankles, other hostile tribes and more!
Only on Fleshscape!
There will be an overarching plot, but a big chunk of the roleplay will be focused on exploring the world and perhaps discovering how it became as it is. You are even encouraged to make your own plots, maybe our Fleshreader will come up with a prophecy, that the legendary Humerus of Porosity is at the heart of Mount Pustule, or the Hunter will sight a great beast in the sky, that feeds exclusively on the strips of meat that dangle from the Great Ribcage, and decide that it shall be his new quarry.
Your character is all set and ready to go. Great job Squith!
It's very rare, but you can spot the occasional parasitic fungus springing up from the rotting carcass of some titanic beast.
Proper plant life though? Not any chances.
We'll get into the game mechanics once characters are in and the RP is ready to go. For now know that yes, you will spend your stats and yes, you can regenerate them by resting.
That dosen't have to be necessairly a bad thing.

We shouldn't be throwing words like "smart" in my direction just yet
