Players who join KTDARPG have an enormous task: Create Your Character. How do you do it? Where do you start? Help!
Fortunately we have excellent help for our players. When you join KTDA, you get an email with an outline that gives you all the parameters you need to come up with a smokin' new character to fit in our Tribe-related world.
==================
CHARACTER
PROFILE
==================
Name:Age (max 22):

What was the character like PRE VIRUS?

Any other information you wish to include?
This is your beginning, and from there our players are wildly creative. Some stick close to the formula. Others insert their own brand of crazy. Now let me introduce you to a few of our KTDA characters, as they were submitted & approved for game-play. They are indeed unique, as all of us are. They're also great additions to the game-world where we play.
======================
RIO
======================
Rio is 16, a tall guy with dark hair/dark eyes, tanned skin, scars on his arms, chest, face and back. He rarely tells anybody what the scars are from. He's not much of a straight-up fighter but he can take care of himself. Rio travels a lot. He's usually connected to whatever underground exists. He has few scruples and will trade in anything you want. If he can't make it he'll find it; if he can't find it he'll steal it; if he can't steal it then it probably doesn't exist.
Before the Virus Rio was just a high school guy somewhere between the jocks and the stoners and the nerds. He was burned a few too many times so he wasn't so concerned about fitting in anywhere, just with making his own way.
After the Virus Rio packed up and hit the road, not interested in settling down or making friends. He figures he's better off on his own, nobody to answer to, no obligations other than the next trade.
======================
TYLA
======================

Skin/Eye/Hair colors: Blue eyes. Blond hair with blue & purple streaks up the front.
Clothing: Grey hoodie, black tee. Skinny jeans. Canvas Converses.
Face paint/Tattoos: Swirls coming down from her eyes.
Personality: She's the type of person who hangs in the background. She has a lot of trouble controlling her temper. She's a little resigned to people missing her or only talking to her when they want something from her.
PRE-VIRUS: She was in the popular group because she did what everyone else wanted. She was constantly unhappy. Her parents were social climbers. When they died, she left and headed further into the rougher area of Fort River.
SINCE THE VIRUS: She was picked up by a tribe for a little bit, but they kicked her out because they didn't want 'little girls'. Since she's lived on the streets.
