If you want to make something else that would be fine - coordinate with the Guide (DM) to develop the character sheet.
Please consider the following for your character(s):
You are part of a community that is dwindling in size. Create one other survivor out of the 98 to name (2 if other grave diggers) and give your character a connection to them. As characters die, these will become a pool of characters that can be selected from, to connect stories to, and to build a bigger picture of the Casket Lands. This won't mean that you can't generate a new character of your own but you will have some options.
For all characters define one distinctive characteristic about them that other characters may notice at a glance or in interacting with you.
The setting is bleak but characters attach themselves to objects. Each character may have one small trinket they consider valuable, sentimental, powerful, dangerous, etc... (Examples may include a small carving in a piece of wood or rock, a natural object, or a small figurine). Describe the object and the adjective the character ascribes to it.
Character Sheet:
Please list your characters in this format and one character per post. Split the grave diggers into separate posts.

Tracking Information
We need to track both water and vitality for each character. I will keep a log of each character, If you also want to keep track in your character sheet as we go or in the bottom of posts, either is fine with me.
There will also be a component of tracking time that relates to drinking your supply of water there will be posts that indicate that all characters must drink and this will reduce the amount in your canteen by 1.

Each character will also begin with a small bundle of dry white sage so please mark it into your character sheet under items.
The Guide's (DM's) Goal:
I want you to be engaged in the setting and hopefully have some fun with this.
Not every character will survive but the goal is to create some opportunity to be invested in the characters and their relationships to the setting, the community, the desert flora and fauna, or whatever else you dream up.
One last thing for the character creation - please let me know what you think would make this a fun experience for you.
