Suggested Player Roles
I would rather the player play newcomer to the valley, here are some role ideas that may help.
Reporter New reporter brought in for the Call or the Tribune. Cop Parker is expanding the police department, new cops could come in from anywhere although he is mainly bringing in people he knows from LA. Artist There is a thriving community of artist living in small cottages and cabins here, most of them commute in from LA to stay for bit as a retreat. Indian The Ailaklak have a 2 layer reservation, the area further away from town is only for their tribe, while the area nearer to town is more developed and welcomes other tribes people. The main reason they do this was to have a buffer zone in the old days when the white sometimes came looking for trouble, nowadays its more to provide a labor pool for thier craftshops and farms. Prospector Most of the mines are played out, but theirs still a few small strike for anyone who has a lot of time on their hands to go looking for them. Naturalist A neo-hippy call Suzy Snow is organizing protests to save the Orian woods, supporters or hers and other admirers are drifting into town, either to help out or just take one last walk though the old woods. Transient Runaway teens, bikers down on their luck, illegal immigrants, or even UFO cultist waiting for the mother ship. A lot of people who were just passing through often end up just handing out for a while, washing dishes at the Old Moon saloon, tending bar at the See ‘em Ded, or even working on the road for the new resort. KNOT Carl Wallens is always hiring newscasters, reporters, disk jockeys, and cable guys, these are often all the same person.
