[closed] Win 5 STEEM, write a character with a voluntaryist theme for the Nth Society game

This is now closed.

The Nth Society game that I'm putting forward now is a play-by-post RPG which will be played right here on Steem. It is a storytelling game in which players write what characters' action is, as a protagonist attempts to achieve their goal, helped and hindered by those around them. The game has the overall theme of exploring voluntaryism.

Read my last post get to an idea of some character relationships and some further reading links.

I am putting the final touches on the first version of the rules, but before that we know that we'll need a main protagonist character. They are the center of the story, the person with the highest stakes in the narrative, and who the story is mainly "about".

We'll need:

1. Name and particulars
2. Background
3. Goals

Perhaps the most important thing here is the goal. What should they try to achieve? Maybe starting their own business, farm or homestead? Maybe running for local election on a minarchist platform? Maybe leaving the police force as they discover the effect of their actions? On the flipside, maybe a government agent tasked with finding out about potential "enemies of the state" and infiltrating their community circle? Or more subtle, a suborn conservative / liberal (read: statist) who wants to quash the rising anarchists in their area from any political power?

They don't have to be explicitly "good" or "bad", and in fact the less they are described as such the more verisimilitude the game will have. I say this because I know a lot of the above terms will evoke strong moral images to many people. This is something to be considered, things are not black and white, and so this is one of the reasons the game centers on goals, which for some will be congruous and other be competing.

Those are my off the top of the head ideas. I could write the background and goal myself, and maybe I'll have to, 5 STEEM isn't the attractive reward it once was 😅 but I'd like to throw this out there for ideas. I'm always so interested to hear what other people think and attempt to integrate with your creativity, for me that's a fundamental goal I have.

Competition rules

1. Entries are accepted in the form of a comment on this post only, one entry per person, only first entry counts. You can edit up until the closing time.
2. The competition closes at 3pm noon EST 11th December 2018, which is 12 noon PST or 8pm UTC / GMT.

I haven't actually got any judges yet, but I'll be asking some people in my "advisory circle" to help me out if they can. Though I won't make those conversations public we will be fair.

Thanks all who enter!

Looking forward to what you write 😁
