This one is pretty simple:

YOU create YOU as a WILDERNESS KID.

I'm looking for PCs for the upcoming premiere of the Wilderness Kids Adventures (WKA) scenario, and I want YOU to be in it.

Create yourself as a PC for the game.

Make yourself between 10-15 years old.

Use a standard build for your character with the exception of:
CHILD is not a flaw in a WKA.

You may also include a NEW Talent that you create as long as you detail the new Talent in the same manner we'd expect to find in a true HEX sourcebook or mainbook.

You may also include specific specializations

ATHLETICS:
-Marbles
-Jump rope (double dutch)
-Tree climbing

RIDE:
- Bike
- Scooter
- Skateboard

Archery:
-Sling SHOT
-Spitball
- Straw (anything involving a projectile hurled from a straw)

Firearms:
- B.B. gun
- Water gun

However a lot of Specialization can act in a WKA adventure exactly as they do in a normal adventure, but might use a name change.

INTIMIDATION:
-Threats becomes BULLYING

I hope you guys turn this thread into barn burner of ideas. NO IDEA is a bad idea. Throw everything you have at the wall, and see if it sticks. If we use your idea you'll get a credit in the WKA adventure.

Play testers and GMS will also get a credit.

Where would roller skates go? Athletics?

Yeah, I think Athletics fits well.

[Nestor]

Fine. Dibs on the fat kid with the taped-up glasses.

He'd have the Skill Mastery on Academics, but it would be called Know-It-All and would apply mostly to kid-level knowledge.

Yeah, I was that kid...

Hullo, Shawn,

[John Aynge]

Nestor, you have dibs (see he's in the spirit of the thing).

The characters can be posted here, and I'll try to put them into cool little stat boxes.

IN WKA the KID, CHILD, YOUNG Flaw does not exist.

If anything the OLD flaw comes into affect (in the 60's adventures it becomes the "Don't Trust Anyone Over 30" Flaw. To a kid anyone over 30 is old.

Hullo, Nestor,

[Rev]

Should they all send a photo with it to be posably used as the images of the wilderness kids

[John Aynge]

If you have PICTURES of yourself at a young age that would be perfect to be included.
