Description
Every Drifter has a story.

A COLLECTION OF KENSHI STARTS:

Join 5 new outlaws, in 3 different starting configurations as they begin their careers. These characters are all unique templates with gear, weapons and personalities, starting in the 20-30 range for stats and base skills (named and with their own character models to feel unique).

They all begin flat broke with friends (minor) and enemies (major) tied to each character group. More friends also means more enemies when they join forces. Includes some loot to get rid of, and a bounty to get you running -- UC racists really suck.

These starts all riff off of a few of the basic ones, just designed to hit the ground running, and with a bit of backstory. Expect some cooler gear and a few resourses at start. Variations of these characters show up in The Chad Mod! as legendary mercenary units.

CHARACTER TEMPLATES:

Kenshi -- Outlaw swordsman and champion of the people.

Kit -- Heiress to a slave empire, she chooses to rail against the family business.

Roach, Riff & Raff -- Robotically enhanced hive outlaws and masterful thieves. On the run with some of their old hive's treasure.

CUSTOM STARTS:

The Noble's Daughter -- the rebellious daughter of a noble runs off with a dashing rogue, and daddy's jewels.

Hive of Shadows -- never having fit in with the hive, a renegade prince steals away with his retainers.

House of Shadows -- having run afoul of the local law, the two outlaw bands team up.

* BONUS STARTS:

House of Shadows: Bast -- built to put the party in the Metalhead's clutches from the start.

NOTES:

Doesn't change anything in the base game, simply adds these characters at game start. If you run into any issues, leave a comment below.

THANKS FOR PLAYING!

* The Metalheads tie in.

** Updated with better balance, stats and starting locations.

Updated to reflect my new stat philosophy (based on actual play -- I'm trying to make an organic feel to these), with better starting locations, new gear and better load-outs to get you moving.

I'm tempted to give these guys more basic stat packages... say 10 or 10 dexterous from the FCS (5-15 stat range). If anyone has thoughts let me know, otherwise I'll figure it out soon. Other than that his one is complete aside from potential future tie-ins to content I'm working on (I'm never completely done with anything).

Added Metalhead's start in Bast. If you don't have the mod, no big deal, you still start in Bast.

New character models.

Moved the unique team starts to their own mod.

Mod is 99% complete. I'm going to re-look the start descriptions over the next couple of days, and once i'm done with that, it'll be 100%. I'm currently trying to make a more robust background like I did in The Unholy. Any additional changes will just be window dressing. Finished with stat tweaks and load-outs for custom starts -- with stats in the 20-30 range they are at the point they won't be dying at every step, just every other. Currently I'm play testing my other mods for tweaks with this crew and having a gas. This is what started me down the path, so I find it fitting to integrate it into its successors.

I'm also adding the characters from the House of Shadows as bounty targets and wandering units in The Chad Mod... and per No Name's suggestion I included a start with Crumblejon.

Chad now has a stand-alone mod I'm finishing up and the Scream Queen is expanded upon in my Metalheads mod.

Crumblejon with anyone is hilarious.
