Okay, let me try to clarify this. You are not picking numbers. We're asking you to describe each of the stats in language that we can relate to and judge. We'll give our assessment in terms of numbers, and Kn will average those, perhaps tweak them a bit from there.
For both Anron and Red, check page 12 of this thread. The second post of that page has an excellent example of what kind of thing we need to work with.
Anron, concerning class, a puzzle loving individual with a spiritual bent makes me think of an archivist. They're a divine casting class, but they cast based off of intelligence and learn spells like a Wizard. I do have some hesitation in suggesting it however, as it is one of the most complicated classes to play well.
Red, could you talk a bit about how you are likely to handle challenges in this strange new world? Pick up a weapon, try to hide, or do works of magic?
P.S. Everyone coming in has lost a number of years physically, so think of how you were in your 20s or 30s more so than you are now if older than that.
Will try again for the character creation stage as follows:
I'm about 5 foot 9 inches, about 198 pounds, putting me into slightly over weight category. I have hazel eyes, and slight tan. As a 50 year old, that is. Wind back the clock, to 30 yrs then make it 170 to 180 pounds, with the height 5 foot six.
You mentioned before that you would prefer us to participate when we were a little younger?
As far as strength is concerned, I can lift my own weight, doing push ups.
Work out in a gym occasionally, but walk frequently, ride bike, snorkeling, swimming. I cannot walk a long distance, a couple of miles,then get a little tired.
With dexterity, able to climb fences, catch and throw balls with reasonable accuracy.
With regards to Con, I haven't been sick to much. If I do catch a cold it is normally mild, without the severe side effects of making one bed ridden.
I get my usual cuts and grazes, but sores don't seem to fester, but rather heal quicker.
Usually a couple of laps swimming of an Olympic sized pool is enough to tire me though. But even that's swimming at a leisurely pace. I've been described as wiry, twisting and squirming out when someone grabs my arm.
Probably couldn't take many hits.
For INT, I have always had a keen interest and knowledge of sciences, particularly chemistry and Astronomy. Done my share of gaming mainly first person shooters, arcade style games. Liked, Geography also. Got to achieve advance for science, but the math's component held me back a little bit.
For wisdom, I tended to listen more to people empathetic and sympathetic. Due to my religious upbringing, having an influence also.
Done very well, being around positive people, but negative complaining people, not so productive.
Have strong morals, lives by do to others how you would like yourself to be treated.
On to charisma, I'm easy to get along with, friendly and not a loner. But can be sensitive, and reserved, but never reclusive. Probably a little to easy to trust others at times. However can feel uncomfortable in the company of boastful people.
I'm definitely not chaotic in nature, but tend to be more lawful, straight and narrow.
Will try and look at the positive and brighter side of life. However negativity, and pessimism I try to avoid as it is a drain.
So, after everyone else has agreed, and KN has given green light for the stats, then I'm in.
So I'm assuming I might be out for a walk. Then suddenly fall down a rabbit hole? Or find myself parachuting out of a plane, land some where different?
Then find I'm not in Kansas anymore?
Is that correct?
Here's what I have, was me probably being a bit more generous in a couple of areas then some.
Strength: 10
Dexterity: 12
Constitution: 13
Intelligence: 14
Wisdom: 13
Charisma: 12.
