Character Name: Patrick Flynn

Character Stats: 4, 8, 4, 4, 5, 8, 7

Character Race: Human, Male

Approx. age: 16

Character Personality: Patrick is exactly what you would expect from a 13 year old. As a teenager, he is taking on new responsibilities and is beginning his journey to becoming a man, but the journey is not easy as he repeatedly regresses from acting like an adult to acting like a child.

He is an easily likable kid as most are, and he seems happy to just make friends. However due to his small frame he often feels picked on by the other kids. Bullying has lead to him having constant issues with his self-confidence and he battles self-doubt regularly. He wants desperately to tell someone about how he feels but it seems that everyone around him has an exterior shell brought on by the hard life in the wastes, because everyone else seems like this, he feels pressured to do the same, making his feelings all the more potent.

As his journey into puberty begins he notices rapid changes in his body, a large boost in energy and aggressiveness is leading him to play more physical sports in hopes to learn how to fight his bullies. And puberty is also leading him to feel strange feelings for the opposite sex, but actually dealing with them is much harder than it seems.

He tries to act as tough as possible and constantly battles his parents and disobeys them, but he secretly wants nothing more than someone to talk to, who will listen and understand him.

Character Appearance: Patrick is a small wiry boy, smaller than most his age. Standing at 4' 5" he goes easily unnoticed by most adults, but is an easy target for the older and bigger boys. He has a slightly crooked nose and usually a black eye or two. His cheecks are high and rounded and he has dimples on both sides. His eyebrows are thin but his eye lashes are rather long for a boy. His fingernails are always dirty yet his teeth stay relatively clean as his parents pay well to keep them in check. When he smiles a full set of teeth can be seen and accentuated by his large front teeth.

His curly hair is light brown and almost shines with a bit of red in the sunlight. His hair isn't grown out too long that it can't be handled, but still it collects dirt and mud and looks almost matted if he has gone awhile without a bath.

His eyes are a deep dark brown, and when looked at directly seem to pierce into you but he rarely looks anyone in the eye for more than a few seconds. His eyes are always shifting around, showing his lack of self confidence.

Starting equipment:
Weapons:
Stryder (BB Gun) - A relatively unused, lever action, spring piston air gun with a smooth bore barrel, adjustable iron sights, and a gravity feed magazine with a 650 BB capacity. It is capable of shooting at 350 feet per second although the effective range is fairly short, about 10 yards, and is used as primarily a plinking airgun. If you look at the stock you can still slightly see the faint image of a man on a horse with a lasso. The lasso seems to form into words but the words are illegible except for Ryder, and someone long ago etched the letters "St" in front of it, giving this seemingly childish toy the name Stryder.

Truth (stick): This stick, which came from a hardwood tree of a variety unknown to the young man, is perfectly balanced and can actually produce quite a painful blow to exposed areas of the body, but is almost incapable of delivering a killing blow.

Armor:
Simple Desert Clothing: He still has a long way to grow yet and as such his parents got him some simple tailored clothing that is breathable yet protective from the local environment. Featuring some light and loose trousers as well as a very breathable shirt for his torso and a red scarf to protect from airborne dust and sand particles. He also owns a pair of sandstorm goggles consisting of a leather strap and two red lens made from vehicle tail lights. The color tone for the clothing has an overall brown and beige theme that is mottled together and blends quite well with the natural environment, although the red scarf and goggles provide a recognizable contrast to the overall color scheme.

Character story: Patricks story really begins with his parents. Just 16 years ago his parents were living somewhere in the north. They owned a surprisingly large Brahmin operation and ranched amost their whole lives. Then one day, 15 years ago, his dad Micheal, had some sort of dispute that is never talked about in their family. Soon after he sold all but three of their brahmin, along with the rest of their estate and used the funds to purchase a three large bee colonies which they then transported into the South.

Finding the small community of Bucket Town to their liking they settled down and began their honey haresting operation, while tending to their remaining brahmin on the side. Soon they had built up a small wealth and began building a home outside of Bucket Town. The home was relatively large compared to the run-of-the-mill shack and contained two large bedrooms, a half kitchen and half dining area, and a common room. The house was finished being built only a few weeks after Patrick's birth.

Patrick had a pretty privelaged lifestyle growing up as his parents income from their operation earned them a decent pay. Although he was far from pampered, he still got to enjoy the luxury of having his own room, and on top of that had very good living conditions and decent meals every night.

Now Patrick is 13 and his life is just beginning. He partakes in great adventures like defeating armies of raiders, mental battles on paper against numbers and words, and sneaking past his grueling and inhumane chores. Although Bucket Town may seem boring for him from time to time, his imagination allows him to escape the wasteland and venture into new territory.

Character strengths and weaknesses: Patrick, with his young age and small frame, isn't very proficient with large caliber weapons, and even some smaller caliber weapons have too much recoil and noise for him to enjoy shooting. His maturity level has shown he isn't quite ready for the prospect of living the wastelander lifestyle yet, and being an innocent boy killing is not in the question for this young lad. His small size also further hinders him by the obvious lack of punishment he could take from a hostile.

However, his small size can prove to be beneficial in other areas. He can usually find the most discrete openings and passageways and is hard to spot when your looking for a regular sized man. His stealth and agility could prove to be great allies in the wasteland. Patrick's mind wanders a lot and his imagination is seemingly endless but imagination can also be a good thing in the wasteland, and his mock battles have actually prepared him relatively well.

THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY

The spirits have taken an interest in you for all the wrong reasons! Unexpected challenges will come to you during your RPs but the rewards doled out will be much juicier. It is possible to live with such a curse, but if you would rather live curse free, you could simply sell the corpse and wash your hands of the whole situation.

Lmgthev: MBP is handsome
LonesomeDrifter23: Sometimes I think MBP is a being made entirely of satire.

Tales from Patrick:

Crying Wolf

Quote:
 
Sharpened Ice Scrape (Tier 1) - Some bored raider whittled down this plastic ice scrape into a fine knife point. The rubber handle means that you can grip this weapon in comfort and the plastic is thick enough to hold up under many situations. Just don't go crazy with it, it wont cut through metal and it'll probably snap if you try to twist it inside of someone.

RARITY Adult Literature - It wasn't a complete waste you did manage to snag a few periodicals of great interest to grown ups. Why inside you'll find engaging celebrity interviews, intriguing analysis of current events and of course style tips for the everyday gentleman. Its hard to believe that there can be all of that contained in a single periodical, why its practically an entire guidebook to being classy and the life of a cocktail party. There's also pictures of naked women if that's your thing too.


Only The Red Chips

Quote:
 
Dealer Visor (Tier 1) - In the old casino supplies there was an old lime green card dealer visor. Its a bold fashion choice and it should keep the sun out of your eyes.

Casino Chip Lid: Straight from Mosko's own printing presses, the communist effort in the latest game craze. The design combines the hammer and sickle you love with a provocative casino cocktail waitress you're likely too young to appreciate. This uncommon Lid is worth a bit more than your normal ones. Lids: Catch the Disease.©

Common Lids x20: Even you have seen these a dozen times already. Still every Lids collection needs its filler. Sacrifice or trade away these to get the good ones from your friends. Or just straight up trade these to trapper for beer or bullets YOLO. Lids: Catch the Disease.©

Bolt Action Pistol (tier 1) - The communist answer to the zipgun, its easier to load but there's no getting around that its just a heavily sawed off rifle with no magazine. The stock and barrel are gone while a handle has been duct taped onto the action. Accuracy is poor so make sure you use it close.

Bucket Town Rep +25 - Hey who's that kid that helped Bobo get some slot machines, why that's you. The drunks all tip their glasses to you even if they haven't quite grasped your name yet.


The Belt, The Shield, and The North Arrow

Quote:
 
.223 Bone Rifle (Tier 1 GC) - You're very proud of the work you did to the pistol.you  Its the perfect little rifle for someone your size. Micheal also took the time to clean out the barrel for you and tighten up the action. Its single-shot still, but it loads a little quicker and shoots a little straighter.

Large Hide - Your share of the hunting spoils. Micheal calls in an allowance.

Compass - An old, beat-up boy-scout compass your dad had when he was young.
