This is the character Sheet!
The Two Options Below
There are two choices in terms of characters. You can either be a convict or a hero- you cannot be a monster formed on the island. Each character can have one power a piece and their choice of two weapons based on their positions. If you are not sure whether your character can have a certain weapon or power- please feel free to pm me or ask me in the OOC chat.
The Two Options Below
There are a few types of heroes:
- Military Trained- These are people who used their abilities to assist with the military already formed on the mainland. You are fully aware of how the convicts were handled and your mission from your superiors is to kill every last one of them. Whether you obey orders or not is entirely up to you. The advantage with this type of hero is known training based on your rank and specialty- i.e: sniper training, basic combat training, so on. The disadvantage is you must still listen to the chain of command unless you plan on going awol- which will make you a target as well. Weapons you can wield would include: varies guns depending on rank, serrated blades, grenades (limited amount), etc.
- Medically Trained- These are the people who used their abilities to assist with medical personnel already formed on the mainland. You aren't privy to much of the information about the island or the convicts. You are to provide medical attention to your teammates as needed- whether you do this or not is entirely up to you. The advantage is your vast medical knowledge based on your knowledge will be indispensable. This knowledge can be about the radiation itself, the human body, herbology, etc. The disadvantage will be your lack of combat training- which must be minimal. Your weapons will be more practical: first aid kits, flashlights, splints, knives, scalpels, and so on.
- Civilian Volunteer- These are the people who volunteered their services despite not fitting in the two categories above. The only thing you know is you are making your way to Outcast Island in order to clear out the waste and any hostiles you may encounter. You are the wild card and will be kept an eye on- the only reason you are here is because of your powers. The advantage is there is no chain of command or mission you must follow. You are there due to your own motivations- whatever they may be. The disadvantage is the lack of training since you won't be military or medical- you must use skills you've gained through your day-to-day life. Nothing unrealistic. Weapons can be many things but you must give a reasonable explanation why your character would have certain weapons.
There are a few types of convicts:
- Mentally Deranged- These people were sent to the island for good reason. They are the murders and torturers (or anything equally as horrible) who were sent to the island. They kill without conscience and no one disagrees that they should not have been sent to their deaths. The advantage is your will stop at nothing for your own self-preservation and will stop at nothing to get what you want. The disadvantage is your less than clear mind and lack of empathy for other human beings. Please label these convicts as Grade D-E in terms of dangerous. (Chech journal for definition)
- Fairly Innocent- These people were sent here because they were lost in the cracks of society after the incident on the island. These people committed crimes in order to survive an unjust world. These crimes may not include murder with the intent to harm or anything of that nature. These are more like thieves or embezzlers- and everything in-between. The advantage is your ability to connect with people and make alliances as well as your determination to simply survive. The disadvantage is your lack of cold-blooded nature that will be needed to kill your peers if necessary. Please label these convicts as Class A-B
- Wildcard- These people were sent here because of any number of reasons and because of this, it is hard to say their reactions. Please label them according to the guide in the journal.
Your mission: Survival as well as getting off the island in some way. You cannot fly (heavy gunfire) and there is no boats (all people entering the island are dropped off). Ulterior motives are allowed.
