The Quato

The Collector

The Kid

The Zatoichi

The Postman

The Rockatansky

The Masterblaster

The Sonny

The Cyborg

The Vaulter

or other?

The guy with the Boomstick.

Probably the version of Snake Plisskin that actually lives up (in a manner of speaking) to his reputation.

What, no female characters to choose from?

I'm definitely a Shaman, but maybe not so much mutant as humanoid bunny…

Vaulter, so I can get past ruin robotic security, well maybe….

Dale.

"What, no female characters to choose from?"

Sorry Elaine…not in a prejudicial or bias frame of thinking…but the majority of gamers are guys and guys that portray women in RPGs freak me right out, so I did leave the female options out…but there are many good ones out there.

I am a big fan of women, my favorite opposite sex actually.

Seriously, I just left it men to avoid the extra weirdness.

I will take a shot in the dark and offer this one, maybe I will get it right the first shot :)

The Connor

Tochtli perhaps something like this?

As for me…I could be happy with just about any of them.

But I recently worked out a short narrative in a post apoc setting with the protagonist being a human mutant, longevity…ages 1 day per week…so The Kid above is what I was thinking when I grabbed that pic.

A creepy kid who has old eyes, a mean streak, and in general carries himself as if he was an old war veteran.

The Kid character has the longevity mutation…he looks 10-11yrs old but has been around for 85yrs.

The longevity mutation also provides a heightened healing factor, heightened metabolism, exceptional resistance to poisons/radiation, and he never sleeps…rests, but does not need to sleep.

He has a high endurance (run for days), a bright mind, and a voracious appetite for knowledge…that is what he deals in, information.

He has worked as an educator, a trainer, and a trader.

So he may be a bit weaker of limb but he has vast education and a skill set to envy.

He tends to avoid using guns but has no problem using poisons, toxins, and chemicals to end fights quickly.

He always has a few homemade smoke grenades (bitter tear gas), a frag grenade or two, and a couple flash grenades on hand at all times.

An excellent chef, he is constantly seeking perfect flavors and recipes.

@28mmMan: something like that. Give him a staff covered in trophies or spirit totem bits topped with a skull and it's looking good. Make it female just to tweak your sensibilites, and it's perfect >:-)

As an aside, I play female characters in RPGs because more than half my fellow players are gay, and it just avoids a lot of headache for all of us…

I'm a man but wierdly I want to be Sarah Connor…….

The Vaulter, or more correctly right now the Crash Test Clone assigned to Troubleshooting duty…

I have my Lasgun, my reinforced coveralls, boots, implant computer, canteen, multitool and contradictory instructions from the assignment computer and a yen to do good things…

I have had a good basic education for my life in the testing facility. Meaning I have a clue of how to use my tools and a high school education. Clean a washroom, fix a leak etc…. etc….

I would be this guy. The Long Walker:

I'd be LUNCH!

I always gravitate to the same role no matter the game. I stay below the radar and offer products or services people need.

I'd probably be the collector. If I don't have what you need, I'll track it down.

Just about any incarnation of Charlton Heston

A Scribe/Storyteller.

lol, I am all for you playing what you want…whatever…I tend to avoid the guys playing girls thing, but if you like it then by all means :)

Really the only issue is that guys tend to play women as loose, sex-for-hire, or barbies…but again, if it floats your boat :)

The Walker

The Colonel

The Storyteller

(seems a bit frail for an RPG, perhaps he is a master actor/disguise and puts forth an old man persona to establish a connection but is much younger?)

(ooohoooh or he is a mutant, an empathic shape shifter, he can alter his basic form, staying human, but his skin/eyes/hair/etc. slowly shift to become the look that the listener would see as safe and grandfatherly?)

This is his natural look…5 minutes prior to the story night event

Works for me – BIG Malcolm McDowell fan. He's a little better looking than I am, though. Hah!

Yep big fan also :)

The Revolutionary

The Freak

The Snake

The Buddy

The Slayer

The Thundarr.

Demon dogs!

I'd say something between the Walker and the Postman.

Hmmm Walker and Postman….perhaps Vic and Blood?

The Vic

…a boy and his dog…

"Lack of respect, wrong attitude, failure to obey authority"

Ex-military

Pics are edited ones of me I played with while deployed.

The Zardoz!

The military type is easy enough with cryogenics

The MP (Morrow Project)

The Exterminator

The Kamandi

Found these while searching…good stuff

Love the Kamandi cover with Klik-Klak, his giant insect mount/puppydog. Good find. My full run of first edition Kamandis is one of my treasures.

I also saw "A Boy and His Dog" in the theater several times, after having read Ellison's short story, and bought it on VHS and later DVD, as well as Richard Corben's graphic adaptation. The story obviously speaks to me on some level.

I'd still be some kind of low-level scribe or storyteller, though, if I wasn't already dust in the post-apocalyptic wind.

Yeah I see people considering the concept a bit deeper than I suggested :)

Not what character would you be per say but what character would you like to play in a game lol.

*****

A low level scribe…sounds suspect to me…perhaps hiding a different more sinister…an assassin perhaps? Hmmmm

I like the Kamandi one with the little weirdo riding piggyback…cute girl with side boob :)…and androids in the back…classic action shot.

If there has ever been a Kamandi artist that pays homage to Sōke Kirby then it would be Ryan Sook…thought I would share, one Kamandi fan to another

The Keymaker

With all the goodies locked away in the ruined future, a proper locksmith would be quite in demand :)

This defiantly this

I would be a teacher in search of a classroom.
