I'm playing in my first d20 Modern campaign next week, so I'm looking for a little help with my character. I have the concept, but I'd like some suggestions on skills, feats, possible advancement... The game is set in a sort of Philadelphia meets Sunnydale Urban Arcana setting. And its a 25pt. buy for stats, 1st level start.
He's going to start as a Dedicated Hero, who, as soon as possible, becomes an Accolyte worshipping the Boss, Bruce Springsteen. He'll call himself the Brimstone Baritone Anti-Cyclone Rolling Stone Preacher from the East {of course...}.
Some background: He's 17 year-old Celebrity high school student who survived a Columbine-like school shooting incident, which he later wrote about in a nationally published article. After the incident his family moves to the {relatively} saftey of New Jersey, where he promptly falls into a nihilistic depression. While riding the Garden State Parkway and after huffing gasoline, on his way a punk show in Asbury Park he encounters the Spirit of Bruce in form of the Burning Parkway Tollbooth Coin Collection Basket and is transformed. He abandons punk in favor the earnest, redeeming power of the rock and roll. He stops huffing, starts drinking beer, turns in his leather jacket in favor of denim and sets out to spread the defiant, life-giving Working Class Word of Bruce...
At the start of play, he'll live at home but spend all his free time in the Philadephia, making a modest amount of money writing about the local music scene, frequenting bars and clubs he's technically too young to get into {but he's a Celebity}.
Oh, he also has carried a loaded gun {ever since the shooting} and sometime goes by the name Lester Bang.
Any ideas how to bend the rules around this idea??
