#SGAM2017: Remember Tomorrow (game prep - PCs)

Three PCs generated using the game instructions and also with the help of my concordance generator (seeded with Neuromancer).

Elena looks pretty straightforward as an action kinda character with action kinda goals. I think I can let the system handle her as much as possible. Sarah and Maxim look more challenging to play as they seem less action oriented. We'll see how much the Neuromancer text helps me there.

Sarah Rheita

Worker: (You work as an office drone or at a service job like a barman)

  • Firearm: Rifle
  • Style: Overalls
Ready/Willing/Able: 6/4/2
Conditions
  • pCon: Financed (has her bar income)
  • nCon: Confused (Lost her religion)
Goal (tie it to motivation): She can’t stop thinking about someone who came into her bar. She is going to find him*. (1d2: 1 - it’s a guy)

Background notes based on keywords “worker” and "lust":

[organ pipes it was a baroque] A defining feature of the bar is that it plays baroque classical music with organ pipes.
[ barely moving but she left jesus] Sarah has lost her religion (when). She has felt as if her life has been stuck in a rut somehow. (Maybe that’s why she feels so energized and compelled to look for this stranger. Wonder if I should switch my text source to Stephen King, haha. Will stick with Neuromancer. ).



[lust and loneliness riding in on ,wave of longing hit him lust] This became the idea that she has seen someone at her bar recently who captivated her attention. He has not come back since, and she cannot get him out of her head.
