Game Talk The Lab
21

Here’s mine…
I only value the interest in creating the character with given profession, not the character itself.
Honestly, throwing in a powerful buff from the start, like an assault rifle, good tools or a vehicle will unbalance the start of the game.

Trucker

Dumb as f**k, never cared about finesse. Could wield an oak bench as a weapon, though. Perceptive when not drunk.
Wearing a tank top, greasy cargo pants, maybe some torn boots will describe the feel.
Offsets could be alcohol addiction, smoking and maybe even one or two from the negative traits list.
To compensate, he could have some skills to the profession, and a wrench, steel chain (it’s a must) and some show-offs to point out the piece of jerky in his pocket and an artifact (or rare item) such as a small metal container for booze.

I had a crack at this.

Heroin Addict:

{ "ident": "junkie", "name": "Heroin Addict", "description": "You're an addict, plain and simple. The apocalypse has come and all\nyou care about is finding your next fix.", "points": -3, "items": ["tank_top", "pants_cargo", "sneakers", "heroin", "syringe"], "addictions": [ { "type": "opiate", "intensity": 10 } ] },

Giving three points may be a bit overpowered, but opiate withdrawal isn’t fun.
