Let's face it, kiddies: Whenever some sort of worldwide disaster occurs in fiction, you can be sure that the main characters will gain, at minimum, four levels in badass. Naturally, this requires a wardrobe change as well. So what's yours?

Two rules to keep in mind:

  • Make sure to include what sort of apocalypse it was (zombie invasion, aliens, post-World War III, etc.)
  • Don't go overboard in the description; you're not filing a police report. Just the major stuff (including any cool weapons).

I'll get started:

APOCALYPSE TYPE: Similar to the events of Rifts, but a lot more supernatural/mythological creatures invaded than aliens. Basically, creatures from multiple mythologies and Gary Gygax came through multiple portals 25 years ago, causing all sorts of chaos.

Major features:

  • Badass Longcoat, obviously.
  • Black fedora.
  • A sword (picture a jet-black spatha), hand-forged from a mixture of Thunderbolt Iron and silver.note  Collapsible like Sulu's, and carried on a special holster inside the coat.
  • A pair of Colt revolvers, with both regular and special ammo.
  • A couple scars from a demon's claws decorate the left side of my face, barely missing my eye.
  • A chain of monster skulls is slung on my body like a bandolier.

Embroiled in slave rebellion, I escaped crucifixion simply by declaring 'I am Vito', everyone else apparently being called 'Spartacus'.

Why did you make a duplicate thread in a second section of the forum? Locking this one up.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
