SpoilerThe year is 1249 on the Sha'n calendar, roughly analogous to 1949 on our world's Gregorian calendar. Cars are becoming a big part of everyday life, people are harnessing new and exciting (and extremely dangerous) new sources of power, the youth and the oppressed are growing increasingly disaffected, and a good chunk of the planet is picking up the pieces from a long and hard-fought war. It's still a fairly fantastic setting; various species abound, nerds study magic rather than "our" physics, and so forth.

The main thing worth noting here, though, is the Adventurers' Guild. Established back in the 900s, it used to be a respected group that fostered scientific advancement, exploration of uncharted areas, and world-renowned heroics. But as the world got more advanced, they fell by the wayside. Scientists and explorers got more specific and spectacular, and began looking into places no group of misfits could reach. A world ravaged by war after war placed heroics in the realm of fiction, and in their day-to-day life focused mainly on keeping the increasingly industrialized world going.

This shouldn't be interpreted as some horrible thing, of course; it was progress, and by and large, people were better off. But an unfortunate consequence of that was that the Adventurers became less and less appealing and awe-inspiring, losing their luster and their capital A. Nowadays, the Guild is mainly staffed by those who can't find employment - crooks, dropouts, burnouts, old guys, hobos, and minorities - and those who won't, people who want jobs more thrilling than "secretary" or "salesman", who want that infinitesimal shot at glory that still lingers.

And you, perhaps predictably, are they.

Name: Cherry Headlights
Description:
A b-baller at heart, Cherry yearns to improve her slams enough to make it pro. She is never seen
without her mixed-range weapon, a trusty b-ball. (This is partly thanks to an enchantment that causes the ball to return to her even after a bad toss. Not exactly tournament-legal, but watchu gonna do?)
In her downtime, Cherry has also developed a repertoire of jams, which she uses as an amateur disk jockey. She carries these around in her combination satchel/turntable, sorta like the combination boom box/paint can Willow Smith uses in her video for “Whip My Hair”, only it’s a turntable instead of a boom box, and instead of paint it stores adventurin’ materials, including her b-ball, jacket, first-aid kit, i don’t know twine? etc. If turn tables don’t exist in this time period then this one runs on magic.
Cherry has bright red skin and pink, voluminous hair, which is a reasonable thing for people in this world to look like. She wears a jersey and shorts and nice kicks, which leave her movement unrestricted but provide little in the way of protection.
After a falling-out with her family over things like “jobs” and “fucking doing something with your life”, Cherry has turned to the Adventurers Guild to prove her mettle. And also for money.

= Skills =
Slams (+1) Through years of b-ball training, Cherry has gained coordination and basic knowledge of the body.
Jams (+1) Cherry is quite familiar with a variety of music.
Throwing Small Objects, Especially Roundish Rubbery Ones (+3) B-ball is a way of life.
Inspiring Music That You Play in The Climactic Scene Of The Movie Where There’s Like One Second Left On The Clock (+3) Gives the party +1 to hit rolls for some turns or something that’s fair. Needs a playable music thing to work.
DUNKS (+5) Aw shitt! Cherry launches into the air, slamming her b-ball hard. Of course, this can only be used with a b-ball, and on something initially with a height advantage on Cherry. No point in dunking without some sweet air, after all.
