Summary
There is a game called Rimworld. It is essentially a colony management game in which you control a group of recently stranded individuals on a Rim World (that is, the frontier of space) with practically no possessions. You are tasked to create a functioning colony and, theoretically, escape the dangers of this Rim World (invading pirates, cannibal tribals, crazed mechanoids, super bugs, etc) back to space. This however is lame because my colonies kick ass, and thus I choose to remain.
With all of that said, I have an idea that tickles my fancy. Allow me to explain.
Traditionally, you control 3-7 "pawns" (colonists) at the start of the game, with the opportunity to gain more from rescuing random newcomers, indoctrinating hostages, etc. The game is not balanced for play above a certain point- in fact it becomes very difficult early on as food is very hard to work with. Crops take a long time and there's only so many animals to hunt.
What You Can Do
So, my idea is this: in the posts below, describe three good traits and one negative trait (at least, feel free to describe as many as you like) about yourself from your perspective, be as goofy as you like. Furthermore, choose one child and one adult backstory here. Make your pawn as good or as terrible as you want. I will use every single one in a single save- I will start the game to the sounds of chaos as there is going to inevitably be a tremendous amount of anguish and drama. Many of you will die- in all likelihood many of you will in fact kill each other in fits of psychotic rage. That is a risk I'm willing to take.
I don't expect to get enough responses to actually send the game spiraling out of control, at most 20, but for the start of the game that's a lot of damn mouths to feed. Hope y'all don't mind being cannibal chow.
