I want to try a new type of Thread.
The Unlucky 13 is a group I created. It's a group of people who are known as the Street rats of society. These 13 individuals are Outcasts some with weird abilities, and all with a backstory.
I'm going to create the 13 main characters by name, appearance, backstory, and position in the group. Personalities will be up to the person who selected the character. All but ONE is reserved for me. The setting for the thread will be Steampunk Post Apocalypse , however this thread will not have Character Sheets, it will have 12 choices for a character to pick.

However, one faithful day he came across a young name named James Hydra and helped him from being killed by Desert Bandits. With this deed, Peter asked what was going on with James and James told him his whole story. On that day, Peter swore he would help the poor downtrodden members of society, by any means necessary.
