Heee, I love these new OCs (or hate them, in keeping with their roles).  I like how you finessed Annika's burns, Feya.

Wow, these OC's look amazing!

I made mine too (although since I can't draw, I can't show you what it looks like) and I'd like to post it here to see if I can join the roleplay. May I?

Corvo, this thread is for showcasing of your own characters, whether they are intended as “me in SSSS” or otherwise. There is no game ongoing. The ongoing game is the Unified Roleplay Round 3, but ai have no idea whether they can take new players at this time. They are just sailing out of Iceland :) You can discuss it in this thread: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1163.0

As already mentioned in the introduction thread (where I wrote before I noticed you’d found your way here), please don’t post into the game thread. That one is for ingame only.

No Corvo, you didn’t do anything wrong! It’s just that this thread won’t give you the answers about possibly playing :)

But, this is the correct thread to post OCs just to discuss about them!

That's what I wanted to do: post my OC so I could show it to you and, if possible, ask for advice to improve it.

Yes, ok, please do! Sorry for having interrupted you! It’s just that as there is an ongoing game at the moment I misunderstood your question!

This is exactly the place to post your character description! Do go ahead.

Biography

Asia Massari was born in a Swiss bomb bunker, which had been occupied by small groups of civilians in the early days of the Rash infection, a few days before it reached Italy. In this bunker, the government of Switzerland had accumulated sufficient food reserves for many years, as well as considerable stocks of weapons, ammunition and medicine. Unfortunately, after a few years quarrels and disagreements began to arise among the members of the bunker, culminating in a violent battle over who among the groups should lead the others. The result was that the survivors and their families killed each other, leaving Asia (who was 5 years old at the time) alone.

For a few years, Asia grew up alone inside the bunker, feeding herself with food supplies that were now all her own, and learning to use the weapons that had been the cause of the massacre. But eventually, even the bunker's supplies ran out.

With no more way to feed herself, Asia was forced to make a courageous choice, and abandon the bunker that had been her home, and walk out into the silent world. In time, Asia learned to hunt, to escape the Beasts and Trolls, and later, to fight them.

To this day, Earth's last Italian (or at least she thinks she is) travels in the Silent World in search of other survivors, trying every day to survive the daily challenges of the Rash…

Don't worry. I had some big spoilers for the character, but I haven't revealed them yet. To find out, you'll have to read the introduction snippets....

Curious: how does she carry all that gear? I am accustomed to packing and transporting  stuff for real-world wilderness work. That would be way more than I could carry, and I am quite strong for my size. Immune pack mule? Wheelbarrow? Travois? Mucking great backpack? I’m not usually part of this thread, but I was idly glancing through it and noticed this post. And of course if you had any of these options, you could likely carry even more useful stuff, like dried food, a water filter, a tent, spare clothes, blankets, a winter-weight sleeping bag.....even a companion cat.
