Roll Yourself

[Disclaimer] We havent done this in awhile, not atleast in the past couple pages, and we can use the characters generated here to play in game [/Disclaimer]

Inspired by Longknife's thread here http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1449112-what-would-you-do-if-you-were-in-the-couriers-shoes/ (someone teach me how to embed a link) about what you as a person would do if you were really in the shoes of the Courier living in the Mojave Im starting the Roll Yourself thread

here we will take ourselves, as we are and not our ideal selves, and assign a SPECIAL score, tags, and traits (along with maybe some notable traits), being as honest as possible while adhering to the game mechanics in our favorite game, FONV

Rules
1) SPECIAL scores have a max of 10 and a minimum of 1 and must total 40 (no more or less!) and bear in mind what those scores mean. A score of 10 denotes an incredible, almost superhuman attribute while a score of 1 would mean being almost devoid of that attribute whereas 5 is an Average Joe for that attribute. For example, Helen Keller would have PE1, Hitler CH10, Michael Phelps EN10, Stephen Hawking ST1 and AG1 but IN10 and as for Luck, well, how do you feel about your life?

2) Traits pick one or none but not more than two

3) Tags pick 3, but try to think about what you have a knack for or what youve spent most of your life doing as a hobby or profession. A man tinkering in his garage after work and a woman who fixes aircraft for a living would both tag Repair. A hunting enthusiast who never misses a season and an infantryman in the Army could both tag Guns yet conversely if youve never owned a gun and have only fired one a couple times in your life wouldnt tag that skill no matter how much it would gimp you in the Mojave. Unfortunately this means none of us could tag Energy Weapons unless you work in some university lab or on a secret DARPA project or something

4) Notable Perks should again match you as you are in real life and not as your ideal self. Pick one or two that you feel really help define you as a person. A gun enthusiast who lives in the country and works at a stables may pick Cowboy. Perhaps you prefer the, ahem, company of men and would pick Confirmed Bachelor ("Not that there's anything wrong with that." - Seinfeld) A Marine or Army vet could choose Grunt, and Im sure atleast one of you could select Cannibal. We wont judge.

And go! *starting gun*
