>You are anonymous

>Thats pretty much your description to a T, a guy that fucking hates trains.
>And possibly has some homicidal tenancies.
Sitting back on the chair you give a sigh, more than a couple weird looking people sit infront of you, atleast they have the courtesy to give the more 'normals' like you some distance. Though you wouldn't call yourself a normie once you get to know you.
Atleast you're not stuck next to a wendigo like last time, just another obese human and a very bored looking elf dude reading a newspaper with a porno hidden under it.
Naughty harpies weekly, you're a little tempted to stare but that might be more awkward than you'd be comfortable with. You like to pretend you have social boundaries sometimes.
You crinkle the minimum wage check in your pocket a bit before your feet start to kick under you, feeling the urge to grumble building up inside of you, the night train just gets to you sometimes.
It's mostly becase you have to sit still for an hour and a half every day to get to work in a meagre attempt to pay for an apartment you can't afford, but what are you going to do? Strap on your job helmet and climb into the job cannon and fire off to jobland where jobbies grow on trees?
>No because thats stupid and you don't own a job helmet.
>You're going to sit here and wait for the train to arrive half a mile away from your residence so you can bump into people and pray you don't get killed by bogeymen because of your debt.
>Maybe just being a guy who hates trains isn't the best way to describe you.
Man you really need a….
Choices
>You need a smoke, a drink, And someone to screw. You just need release and escapism, fuck your miserable position time to go blow that pay-check on blackjack and hookers. Nothings worth it if you don't have a good time!
>You need a fucking rush and you don't care where it comes from. You can't say you want to live long but you'll have a damn fun time doing it, and thats what its all about.. fuck sitting here you wanna climb on this fucking train and ride it and make it your bitch not the other way around! You should go read random fucking cursed scrolls from the library or sky dive, shit fuck this get a job as a mercenary or rob a bank, do some blow off a succubus and wake up the next morning with stitches and wake up without a kidney and soul before you go out to kick down her door and get it back.
>You need your anti psychotics, you can feel yourself slipping and the world dulling.. things aren't as they seem.. maybe you don't actually need them? Maybe you're being poisoned because your onto something big.. they probably are monitoring your brainwaves right now and can tell you're thinking this… better take those now to avoid another incident.
>You really need to shoot something.. or stab it, preferably stab. You've never been opposed to kicking yourself, you can feel that anger boiling over that disdain for all these fucks wasting your life away at that miserable fucking fast food restaurant for their convenience. Fuck that and fuck them.
>You need to go home and go to bed so you can brood about how fucking depressing your life is and starve off time until they evict you from your apartment, maybe you can sell that xbox? Consoles are for fags anyway.
========
Looking out the window almost covered in pudge from the guy sitting next to you, you can see the buildings pass in the distance before cutting off into houses… after and then more oddly shaped buildings, nearing the random mishmash of buildings that looks like it was pulled from a madmans mind out of his ass.
Believe it or not there probably is a thing called too 'multicultural' and you're looking at it. All kinds of freaks and normies share this place as it's a bit of a ghetto and a bit not, mostly its because this place is cheap and won't ask question so it gets inhabited by illegal aliens who probably have better standards of living than you.
You blink a few times as your hands leave your pocket, turning your gaze back to the newspaper guy you can clearly see he is using the paper as a poor attempt to hide the fact that he just slipped a hand into his pants.
>Fucking elves.

>You need excitement, you need a serious change.
>You need to wake the fuck up and give a little back to the world! You need to do SOMETHING ANYTHING something exciting! Something rad! So- wait what the fuck.
>Here you are feeling awake for the first time in a long time and some asshole has to spoil your moment by jacking off next to you!
>The fuck? No really.
Your hands leaving your pockets in a swift motion as you stand up from your seat, tearing the paper away from the man standing next to you, exposing his magazine and his obscene hand movements cease as eyes from around the train lock on to you.
"What the FUCK?" you shout, feeling your heart pump all the faster as the fat guy scoots away on his seat, pushing his pudge into the elderly woman aside him.
>Fuck this freak, you put up with this shit on a daily basis, and no more will you stand for this.
Lifting your hand back, a look of horror dawns on his face as your arm raises. Making a meagre attempt to pull his hand out of those green khaki pants before your fist flies forward connects with his jaw, a feeling of newfound power washes over you as his body slumps in the chair and falls limp
People whisper around you, someone gets up to call security. Only to be stopped by someone you'd call a good cemeritan with a hand on his shoulder.
A few people raise phones and take pictures, you figure now would be a good time to go before security comes and make your way a cart down.
Finding a new empty seat a few carts down, the commotion didn't seem to reach this part… it feels good, to get away with this. No consequences in sight, maybe you should be more assertive.
Slinking back in the seat and slipping your hands back into that long overcoat and gazing out the window, tapping your foot on the ground as a song stuck in your head replays itself for the fifth time.
Maybe tomorrow won't be a bad day, probably will though.
Idle thoughts coming to an end as a boy in blue (read cop) makes his way into your cart, being followed by the lardass from your cart the officer scans the room and whispers something to the fatman, only to recive a shrug in response.
Your stop is coming up any second as you see the station straight ahead, feeling the train slow.
Choices
>Fet up and try and make your way down to the next cart as inconspicuously as your overcoat will allow.
>Fucking run man! Run to the next cart!
>Stay in your spot and wait, looking inconspicuous.
>Stay in your spot and prepare to punch the cop in the face! Fuck you pigs!

>>4718Run and keep running through cars until it comes to a stop, run out the second the doors open, haul ass and knock whoever over if they won't move until you get past the initial press of people, then duck down behind the parked cars always waiting outside of a train station and make your way back through the parking lot, adopt a casual stroll when you get to where people will actually be in the parking lot, go to a barber shop and get a different cut, go to a pawn shop and sell your beloved overcoat, go to a clothing store and get a different colored shirt and a cheap pleather coat, oh yeah and

Looking down his way you see fatass gloss over the crowd, he blinks at you.
>This could be bad…
Flipping the collar up on your overcoat you quickly stand up and turn a one eighty, making your way down the isle until you hear the dull patter of quickened footsteps behind you.
Speeding the fuck up until you hit the end of the cart and hear the man call from behind you, "Hold citizen"
>You do quite the opposite
Breaking into a run you slam the door behind you as you hit the other cart and break into a sprint, pushing past a few people as you near the last cart and you hear the man running behind you. "HALT OR I WILL BE FORCED TO USE FORCE"
>Sounds like a challenge
You pull a hapless man by the coat and throw him behind you, a dull smack is heard along with a crack and a shout. (15 on the dodge roll guys, I might ask you to do a few rolls from now on.)
Seems like the cop threw his baton at you, feeling like you need to return the favour you reach up and fling luggage from the rack above peoples head as they clamor to the sides to avoid this spectical, most taking out phones to video tap this as you fling a few cases in the cops direction and on the floor aiming at his legs.
He trips over a case as you run, falling flat on his stomach just as the doors open on the train and you speed out.
Taking a quick turn you duck under a car at the parking lot, a police craft hovers by, looking like some kind of flying motorcycle.
Those are a bit rare but probably quick to respond at places like this, what a chump radioing it in.
The bike gives a hover as the driver gives a half ass scan of the area and flies off.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable as you lay on the asphalt the quick pumping in your chest and the adrenaline flowing through your veins making up for it you think can shake them if you just break off into the crowd that's pouring out of the train heading for the exit.
Standing up and dusting yourself off you thank whatever deity smiles on you today for the new fad where gangbanging (not the sexual kind) goblins lift their shitty jalopies three feet off the ground with hydrophilics as you finish dusting your coat and head for the crowd with a casual stroll.
Attempting to blend in it fucking works, god damn that was nice.

You might as well not let this stroke of good fortune and new found sense of self go to waist.
Deciding to head down town you stop at a pawn shop, figuring its best you change as to not get pulled over by an over active officer you step inside with the intent to change clothes.
The door bell dings as you step inside, it's not that big on the outside, but on the inside the walls seem to stretch considerably.
A few racks with various cheap clothing articals drape the north west side, heading over there you pick out a decent looking affordable jacket. Heading back to the counter with it you see the sign WE CASH CHECKS in all capitals.
Dropping your paycheck on the counter the old Chinese man nods, you notice some odd grey scales seeming to line his neck and forearms.
He hands you 97.34$ Your minimum wage for the week.
"I'm here to trade in my jacket for this one." you point at the pleather hooded jacket and lay it on the table, the dude nods again and looks it over. "I'll do it for that and a tenner"
Figuring this is a fine enough deal you take ten out of your wallet and hand it to him, and slip off your coat…
>you're gunna miss that… never even got the matching fedora.
He drops a pair of aviator sunglasses on the coat, "Thems a three" he says, like he's reading your mind.
You oblige the dude with three singles and put on your new digs looking considerably cooler.
>Fuck anyone who shittalks thrift shopping
>Inventory.
109$ Wallet, Cheap ass flip phone, clothes, Zippo dragon lighter, dignity, lint.
You are assumed to be average at most things one would be average at in a modern fantasy setting, though you will pick up new skills perks and traits along the way, you can spend two skillpoints to buy a skill. that will be a novice level until you upgrade it again.
Skills can be pretty much anything within reason though they need to be planned before hand, some need to be learned from a specific source. Just because you killed a boss doesn't mean you get to instantly become a nuclear physicist.
>Skills: Novice brawler. (for punching that elf)
>Talents and traits: Escape artist: bonus for escaping a bad situation.
(I pretty much gave these away because opening.)
You have 7 skill points to spend on any skill that's not too difficult for a normal person in such a setting to aquire, otherwise you'd need to train it before hand. You may spend a single skill point to upgrade said skill until the next upgrade point

Souls are a bit of a mixed bag to describe all at once, though they are important to have every average sentient being has ONE… and immediately you know you can use it to load a save and lose it. Abuse of this can lead to corruption, taint is something else entirely.
You can save once a week.
Dying without a save or soul puts your true self up for odds with the grim reaper, you can choose to play a game for your true self and get a place-holder soul for a short while or move on to the after-life.
Souls are valuable and rare, Do not waste them.

More advanced stuff can be learned easy if you have a prerequisite skill and a way to learn about it.
Or just a way to learn about it or someone to teach you.
You can potentially learn new skills by torrenting PDF documents and shit, even printing wizard scrolls and the like. (If you can find some and know how to use them)
Or attending classes or a tutor.
Getting somewhere in magical theory and computers/hardware would let you branch off into Technomancy and let you control electronics from afar and make them do various neat things with magic.
Just an example, all of the above are examples and you are free to take this as far as you'd like.
Be creative, maybe suggest a few things and leave some open for someone else to suggest too.
I I'll be here all night, though the faster we get back to the game the more fun we'll have I'm sure.
