Recently a series of events transpired in my life that were so phenomenally unlucky, I figured I was hard wired towards bad luck. I won't get into specifics as quite frankly, I'm still reeling from them.
But a thought crossed my mind when I was discussing Fallout: New Vegas with a friend. At some point I said "in game I always go for Luck of 5 or above... but in real life I think I'm a luck of 3". The joke was a little obscure for him but to me it was a recollection of the old fallouts where bad luck was REALLY BAD (fatal in some cases).
This got me thinking about how I would categorise my real self in the S.P.E.C.I.A.L System. (The name is an acronym of 7 major characteristics which are listed below)
For those that are unfamiliar with the system it works like this.
Strength 4
Perception 8
Endurance 3
Charisma 8
Intelligence 6
Agility 3
Luck 3
Each aspect determines individual aspects of yourself. Each one can only be rated on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is pathetic incarnate and 10 makes awesomeness jealous.
The above example is my own interpretation. What do you, fellow escapees, think your stats would be.
If this thread works out, I might add perks and traits as part of our self analysis, but we'll leave this as is for now.
Enjoy
