Good evening folks! Just a quick idea. :3
Well, I have an idea for a thread - canon or not for your character/you is your choice - set in a small town, at least at first, where a group of every day people come together due to various hooks of choice. The idea is that I give you a basic goal, you run around trying to do it and I guide and point, narrating here and there.
Now, there are a few limitations; no characters already aware of supernatural presence - at least out and out, there're always conspiracy nuts. No uber-powerful mages, no werewolves/vampires/etc. Only basic humans with every day jobs and skills, no one insanely wealthy. They may own a small business, yes as people tend to do.
So, you'll be able to choose from almost any profession and occupation in the real word, preferably something that's street level, though I will cap it off at something silly if asked. I'd prefer the likes of mechanics, receptionists, librarians, etc. Soldiers are a possibility, though do please ask!
Each 'Class' if you will should have different skills and abilities, capable of doing different things, you may be allowed to learn a cantrip or two - though it'd take preparation and equipment to use the cantrip to perform feats, these'd only be allowed in certain situations. A la locked doors or containers. No combat spells will be allowed on behalf of the Player.
The idea is to get a character that has yet to be introduced to the strange events of the supernatural.
Now please, do ask questions!

Hey uh I got a few things, not really problems, more asking for a make character.
Ok so to start off, I'm making this character up on the spot. He currently does NOT have a bio of any shape or form. He doesn't even have a name yet as I haven't put the thought into it.
Ok now onto my "class". I want him to be basically a theif. He's homeless, steals small thinks like fruits and clothing(when he can), simple thigns like that, and maybe breaks into houses for the occasional watch or wallet) but you get the idea. He's only going to be able to minorly fight. But he'd be great for the track team with how much leg exercise he has.
Being a theif, and young, he can't just walk through the front door so lots of balence for when he climbs buildings and stays on the roofs. Erm... so far is this sort of character fine? If not I'm sure I can make another.

Hey folks, Hwin, I'd like a bit more information but as and when it's ready is good, don't wish to rush. For you, Nix, I'd recommend something like a Hobo or Drifter someone that gets by how they have to, though yes that is the sort of thing I'm looking for. Good to see interest already.

Isn't that basically the same thing? I just said he was a theif. It's more of a lifestyle than a class... but in retrospect: He is a hobo that steals what he needs to survive.

Ill have something cooked up. An adaptation of Erin but with familiy and with the above said. How do you want me to send you the final product? Here or on the TSW forums? Also decided to shift over two for that persistent RP here to see how the boys and girls play.

Post them up here works, allows people to see what they have to work with and can help to create a broader skilled group, and allow for a better flow narratively!

Lets take a look at what I can do.
Ill see about a picture.
Name Jade Lee
Eye Colour. Green
Hair. Midlength honey blonde (may change later)
Age Turning 29
Height 5'7" 170 cm
Weight 58kg /127 pounds
Favourite colour Purple
Other general features Honey blonde hair (may change) generally oily from work or sweat.
Occupation Machinist for her Fathers tool making and repair shop.
Hobbies. Loves to watch birds and tinker with her Road Runner. Bird watchng started with her mother which was passed onto. If not in the workshop, asleep or at tai chi classes shes watching and recording birds for her Ornithological endevours.
Clothing Typically found in her purple overalls (Her favourite colour) Shes in jeans or sports attire for her tai chi/aerobics classes.
Residence Lives with family still, deciding that her passion for improving and moddifying machine parts is more endearing than renting a flat with a stranger. The two story house is about a 15 minute walk from the shop.
Family. Mother famther and older two brothers who are still alive.
Father is a Fitter and Turner who learnt his trade to avoid the draft as many of his hometown were called upon. Moonlights as the local gym advisor even though he isnt qualified yet believes experiance is paramount over just a technical piece of paper.
Mother is an architect and draftsman, she puts in drawings for public works that the planning office asks. Designed the home where they live and the two stores which the family owns. Met Jade's father at a car show and hasnt looked back.
Older brother 1 Is a vechile mechanic who regulary asks his little sister for shopped moddifications to his 1979 Torrana. His store is beside the store so family can pool thier knowledge of resourses and masteries for customers and clients.
Older brother 2 He is an economist turned accountant turned stockbroker. Still loves engines and grease but equally enjoys the thrill of money well earnt. Both brothers have friends of Jades as their partners and are frequently hooking her up with potential dates when shes not underneath a car or working over a lathe or cutting tool.
______________________________________________
Jade attended the local primary and highschool and has made her fair share of friends and broken hearts. Settling for a part time apprentiship (at 15) with her father from her love of cars. (Took dad's keys at eight years of age and ended up 300 meters down the street after front ending into a neighbours reversing car.) Being a local girl she has seen and heard too many of the towns whipsers and nuances some ranging from the bizzare to the simple truths of daily life.
Has some plans eventually of settling down with the right person as she often quotes and ambigious with being gender specific at that. For now its the long loved routine of work, family life, bird watching and aerobics.
She still drives a car thats older than her the '72 Plymouth Road Runner that is in all definitions a 10 second car. This vehicle is her material pride and joy, boyfriends who have gotten between it and her have found themselves out on the pavement faster than it does the quarter mile agianst her brothers.
