[spoiler][quote=“MarkJerue, post:12058, topic:47”]My current character, Francisco Ellis, is the first who’s survived beyond day 10. He’s a samurai. He’s not the social type, given that he speaks English with the heaviest Japanese accent possible, but he loves animals instead.
He started in the middle of a small town with a jewelry store, around a half-dozen houses, two fire stations, two electronics stores, two gas stations, and a liquor store. A Cathedral was close by. One town was ~15 tiles southeast.
By sheer dumb luck, the town southeast contained a fully-function, brand-new electric car in a house garage. This propelled Francisco beyond medieval Japan.
Francisco decided to settle into the fire station. He reasoned that the two garage doors could serve for lighting, the brick buildings would prevent horrible fires, and the metal witch-operated doors would keep him safe at night.
Francisco’s used tents from field camps to build a fence for his farming. He’s never hunted animals. He’s not building loads of non-perishable food with no idea what to do with it, given that he has more food than he knows what to do with.
Now he’s in the first days of Autumn of his first year, and he needs to succeed. He has no idea what to do with himself, though - his electric car’s out of battery, he can’t figure out how to move the solar panels onto a security van, he has no idea how to sustain his power supplies, and he’s at a loss.
He broke his right arm and right leg in an encounter with some basement spiders, but he’s still alive. A leg splint healed the leg.[/quote][/spoiler]
I’ve done the same thing, but I instead made a house in the wilderness and only used flintlock weapons and swords. Basically made a person who was stuck out of time and didn’t know anything about cars, weapons, etc. And basically made it stay that way, choosing seclusion in fear of this new world.
