Today the lottery gifts me:
Furious Wasteland and Wild West
Post-apocalyptic Western could be called too easy! These are also both from Action Flicks 2.
He doesn’t really remember the bombs and the war, he was far too young. He does remember feeling afraid, and his mom and dad consoling him. He remembers growing up in the ruins of Miami. He remembers the day his mom ran afoul of the recently appearing scavenging gangs and didn’t come home. He also remembers the day when he was maybe thirteen, fourteen his dad decided that they’d join a trade caravan to the North-West, and the stories his dad told him of his grandparents, uncles, and aunts. That they live near a magically save place called Vancouver, once easily reached via flying machines but now far, far away. And he remembers when the caravan noticed that sabotage had cost them most of their water, and he had his father were left on their own in the middle of nowhere.
When he was lying there, dying of thirst, his father lying on his face a few hundred meters away the old man found him. Jim helped him back to his feet, the veteran training him in survival and self-defense. And he learned to live by the gun. When old age finally caught up to old Jim, he buried his mentor. And then the Wanderer decided to make his way to distant Vancouver, no matter what.
Role: The Dweller (FW)
Trope: Hero With No Name (WW)
Feats: Jackal (he is very good at working with junk, scraps, and other debris for repairs and such)
Eyes of Steel (his cold stare easily intimidates others)
Gunslinger (yeah)
Flaw: No emotions. No smiles.
Catchphrase: "Sure, you can try me if you want."
Experience: He vividly remembers his dad pushing his last water over before dying of thirst (every Wasteland character starts with a Scar).
And he gets another point each in Awareness and Heal. Theoretically, he shouldn’t have any gear, but I will give him a revolver. As a character in a Furious Wasteland he gets +1 bullet in his Death Roullette.
