Backgrounds and who is playing who in this game!
Here we pick the characters and set the scene with what has happened prior to this get together.
What did happen in the prison and how did everyone end up where they currently are?
Firtsly, it´s mid October, 1988. Cold. Overcast. Risk of rain.
Secondly: the location is close to Surrey State Penitentiary in Georgia. (Medium security facility)
All places aren´t kept to the same standards. There are those who maintain and those who don´t.
An abandoned asylum in Atlanta, Georgia.

None of the images are showing up for me.
Are the six characters in the other thread the only ones available, or are there more coming?

Hmm. I quit my Potobucket a few years ago. I´ll see what I´m doing wrong. I tried to link from google photos.
More characters are coming.

Until I have fixed the images, you can open the "image icon" by right clicking and open in a new tab.
I have no idea why this is happening.

Trying out Tumblr.
There are now fourteen characters to pick from. Disregard the Supporting Cast headline. It only indicates they are a bit away from the main cast.
The map provided will give you an idea how far away everyone is.

Then I´ll send the write-up to you and you may flesh her out. I´ll post a background post and we can roleplay the part from the breakout to Linda´s current position.

Background notes and character details:
The Start Of It All
At 1300 hours, the sky opened and a hailstorm hit Surrey State and surroundings. High winds and really heavy downpour.
Two hours ago, at 1600 hours, an explosion broke the wall to the exercise yard. A big hole and a lot of smoke. As the breakout happened. The alarm went off and all rooms were electronically locked. Fire doors and exits were bolted automatically and the drenched prisoners on the yard were taken to the safety of the cafeteria.
300 prisoners 30 guards.
Here it was clear that five prisoners were missing.
Lobsang Ramja, 59, a spiritual leader of some New Age gathering. The Third Eye.
Steven Updike, 32, wife beater.
Morton Willits. 45, Fraud.
David Leyner, 38, drugs.
Juan Riccinto, 27, sexual assault.
A white van had been spotted by a guard leaving the area from a road near the exercise yard. It had four persons travelling in it.
Alex Shipley, FBI, on scene by serendipity, steps up and takes charge of the situation. He and his agents head off after the white van. Heading north.
The orders are to keep the prison i lockdown and reveal nothing to press or civilians. Warden Elisabeth Jones seem happy to comply.
There are no apparent connection between the prisoners. Other than they all look bad. That´s probably due to the experience and reason for their incarceration. People don´t look bad, they behave badly. Riccinto honestly looks like a decent kid. But that goes bad with his sentence.
Fifteen minutes after the blast, Linda becomes aware that Jake hasn´t reported in over the radio. The wired communication and video feeds are down, so there is no way of getting any footage of the surroundings after the breakout.
Linda decides to check the forest side of the compound, where the caravan is parked at a fenced in parking, now partially overflown with rainwater. Doing so she sees the light is out in the caravan, so Jake is not there. He always keep a light on. Keeping the bad ju-ju away as he says.
While watching, she sees a shadow moving through the forest rood, as if a car with no lights on is driving away. A reflection in a window from a light source at the prison maybe?
On a hunch, she decides to investigate. She gets in her dark blue Dodge Sprint and drives after the car through the forest and past an industrial farm. Halfway to the next big farm, a car sits on the road. A black Chrysler Voyager. Plate: SWR 1565
A few hundred meters from the road a small 2 storey house can be seen dimly lit.
Having already turned off her beams, she considers her options.
Should she go after or get reinforcement?
Maybe even call it in?
Linda has a rain parka, her uniform under it, her service weapon, radio, flash light stick. As well as her private go-bag in the Sprint.
16:40 PM, in the hailstorm, by the wayside. Atlanta, Georgia.

Re: Backgrounds and who is playing who in this game!
Oh, I´m old-fashioned. 5.0, I´d say.
I never got around checking the newer ones. And the madness bits from UA will be a trial en error process. I found them interesting affecting different parts of the character.

Re: Backgrounds and who is playing who in this game!
Thanks. I don't have the 5th edition, but I have 6th edition, which is pretty close. Should I just use that for character creation?

Re: Backgrounds and who is playing who in this game!
Airbornexxo, I´ve added Morton Willits background here:
As it stands, you are waiting to get sprung out of the prison by Phil Nubbs, a fixer working for your boss, Johnny Nails.
Somehow Nubbs was a no show. Probably the weather. The current hailstorm is a mother of bad weather!
The explosion happened. And Steven Updike just whacked the big guard in the head and took his gun.
The opportunity just arrived and you decided to follow.
Out past the prison´s car park. On to the road. Stopping a van. Hijacking the two women in the car. Driving through the forest past big farms, driving without lights.
Till the car stopped. The weather is getting doubly worse.
Now, Steve had the idea to leave the car and herd the three hostages to a two storey farm house, 300 meters away from the road. Leyner keeps the women tied up with a towing line. He also took a stun gun from the guard.
Closing in on the front door, Steve says, "We stay here over night and move on in the morning when things cooled down."

Re: Backgrounds and who is playing who in this game!
Hi there!
I will be setting up the different in-character threads when we all have set the characters and backgrounds.
For now it´s a bit transparent, but I hope it all will be fun to play out. Whatever you find out as a player will not automatically mean your character knows it.

Re: Backgrounds and who is playing who in this game!
Hello everyone, I’ll be playing Phil Nubbs please, Dave. It will be a bit of a challenge as I’m not particularly au fait with that type of character; quite the opposite to my string of old ladies eh, Mr Handy!

Mr. Handy, you may swap rolls. Sure.
Aine, you will handle the transformation splendidly.
