Hobos!!! Structured(Still recruiting!))

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Intro

It's a harsh world, in Newyorkistan, many people are and have been becoming homeless. After a few days, it is quite obvious to those that they are not normal, that they are hobos, and then looked down upon. However, there are those that wish to blend back into society, to be at peace or to just kill. You are just some of these hobos.

Hobo Types
Normal Hobos start with Hunger, Dirtyness and Unclothed, along with ten(10) dollars. These can be fixed with clothes, food, showers, bodyspray etc. Lack of food makes it so you may only choose one target #, and not eating for three days makes it so you cannot do anything usefull until you eat.

For a Hobo to gain a job or function correctly, he must Eat and Clean every two days. Using bodyspray only halts the need to clean for a day, and can only be used in this manner twice. To use weapons, one must pick two numbers from 1-8(Never seen before) 1-6 (unfamiliar) 1-4(Familiar) or 1-2(Trained), before the hit, Which I will roll to see if you hit. Lack of choosing a number will make it a 1 and 6.

Sheet
Name:
Age:(16 and up)

Getting money is simple, You can mug people for it, Get a job, Rob a bank and such. To buy something is simply going to a store and saying, 'I want _______.'

This needs more details. May I ask some questions?

Money - How do we get money? Do we panhandle for it? Government handouts?
Clean - How do we clean? Do we pay for it or merely wash in the fountain?
Items - What do items cost? If I wish to buy food, clothes, showers, weapons and bodyspray - what will this set me back?


New Hobo ideas

Da Snitch Hobo - Can turn his fellow Hobo's into Da Fuzz.
Druggy Hobo - Must "dope" every two days. Touch of Dope - transfer hunger, weakness and addiction - Must "dope" every two days

Money: You can get a Job, Rob it, make it, whatever!
Clean: You can clean by getting sent to a hospital(free clinics!) taking a shower or going in fresh water or you can put it off with deoderant.
Items: Items are bought from stores and if you are good at negotiatons, you can get it cheaper. This is a place where money costs more than the Dollar, where a Glock(auto) is but 30$

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Okay, its a little late, but Topic is closed(kinda) to recruiting, the game will start In this topic. Also, if anyone want to join or want to say anything ooc, put it in spoiler tags. Days will be split up into 10 posts, 5 day, 5 night. Things you are trying to do will most likely change, such as going to a nightclub in the day, or wearing a ninja suit in daylight.

Day one

The sun rises over the city of Newyorkistan, clearing away the sleeping birds and sending them aflight. Cars begin to move, people start walking the streets, and the daily evil-doers begin to plan their plans. Stores open, and constructions continue to work. But in the alleyways, the sewers, the abandoned buildings, the homeless begin to stur, unbeknownst to the ones with a job, a family, a reason to still live. . . These homeless are special!

((When everyone starts, decides where you are living, in the sewers, alleyway, abandoned building(what kind), and such.))

Name: J
Type: Bearded
Age: 35
Items:

Shotty green!
J

As Jorunastle(J for short) wakes up from his nap, he realizes where he is. "Ugghh. Why did that cat have to sleep over the midnight sun? Alas, my treehouse has burned down once again, and I will never be able to fly anymore. Oh well, I better get out of this place." After one of his rambles, he gets up out of the alleyway and starts walking towards, well, people. "Can anyone spare some change for a poor man who needs to earn a living so he can by the ocean back from Zues. He won it in a game of poker. Please, change?"

[Raiser Blade]

As raze wakes up in an alleyway he feels around and grabs what appears to be a dead squirrel. He puts the squirrel to his ear and shouts "Stop calling me, shteve." He then sets the squirrel on the ground.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

J: Asking a well suited man, he says "Away with you filth! Crawl back to your hole!" And he spits at your feet.

[Therarde]

Somewhere in the middle of the street, a manhole removes itself. Out climbs Chuck Jones. Some people believe him to be only a myth. Others think he's just some crazy old homeless guy who lives in the sewers. Only a few know the truth. He is...a hobo. A crazy old hobo who lives in the sewers. He starts doing a little jig.

[iamkoolerthanu]

"Ah, but what is not a fish without the mountian above us all? I do not know of what you speak of, I do not live in a hole, I live everywhere! Where ever there is a cat slinking along the boundries of a desert, there will be a reward in you path." He then walks away, asking others for change.

[Ezlo]

Ezlo wakes up from his hidden home underneath the big rock in the city's big park, dons his tin foil hat, and heads off for another fun day at "Work." Work meaning wandering around giving "advice" for a nickel. Advice meaning random words that pop into his head.

[Trix]

Trix wakes up with a jump. She was having those nightmares again. She couldnt help think they were related to her birth parents, but she wasn't sure.

She rose from her makeshift bed. The place that she had called "home" for the last year was an old warehouse in the docks area. It wasn't in use, and the only activity within it was Trix and a few sewer rats.

Her room was the little office at the top of the warehouse across a gangway. It was a brilliant little hideaway, and she couldn't believe her luck when she found it.

She rose from her bed and put on her large trenchcoat and headed out to scavenge for the days food.

Walking into the city high street, she sat in one of her usual spots and began her day of panhandling. The passers-by seemed to take kindly to her because she was young and because she was a woman.

HOUR ONE(which, by the way, is about a Day in RL)

Chuck Jones: A man laughs at you, his friend taking a camera out to take a picture. He hands out a five dollar bill, but then puts it back in his pocket and snickers as he and his friend walk away.
((1,2 success (1d6=4) ))

J: You walk up to another man, and he stares, amused. He then opens his mouth and says, "Whatchu gunna do wit' de money? Boi Likka??" He says as he walks away, answering his phone.
1,2 (1d6=6)

Ezlo: A young girl walks up to you and turns her head, perhaps wondering about the meaning of the universe, or what she is going to buy. After a deathly silence, she hands you Nearly a dollar in change (0.94 $), she smiles then turns and skips to her mother.
1,2 (1d6=2)
1d100=94

Trix: As you ask for money, your hands held out a kind old man in a rather dirty suit hands you some change(72 cents) and says as he smiles, "Glad to help another of the 'Trade'" He says as he crosses the rather busy street, only to sit down and read from the Bible, a hat held out.
(( My bad. . . sorry i forgot to put dice))

[Ezlo]

Ezlo stuffs his new found riches in his ratty coat, and proceeds to spread the good news of the alien invasion being over thanks to his new invention, the Dinglehopper!

[Raiser Blade]

I meander over to where ezlo is and start dancing while shouting "Give me money." I also am still holding my dead squirrel(cell-phone in my mind).
