Gold - Squire

This is a (hopefully) fresh take on the generic 'Apocalypse' RPGs.

Backstory:
The human race is finshed. Already decimated by a century long 8th World War, they were ill prepared for the spread of a terrible biological weapon. Crippled, they retreated to hidden underground forts, remaining there for hundreds of years in cryostasis. Awakening, they discover the planet has been taken over by a race of mysterious angel like creatures. These faceless creatures have a single minded mission: Destroy all life...

Character Sheet:

Name:
Age:
Class*:
Abilities**:
Offence: (distribute 15 points between Offense, Defence, and Speed)
Defence:
Speed:
Health: 100%
Inventory: Weapon***, 5 sustenance.
Level: 1

*Classes:

Freerunner - Bonus 2 Speed. Great at escaping from enemies, but rather fragile.
Inhuman - Bonus 2 Offence. Powerful ranged attacks, but low speed.
Combat Veteran -  Bonus 1 Offence and Defence. Balanced, with good health.
Thief - Bonus 1 Speed and Defence. Excellent at finding food and hiding places, very low health.

**Abilities: You gain more as you level up.

Freerunner - Basic Supersprint. Enables you to move at double normal speed and jump farther for a short period of time
Inhuman - Basic Psy Power. Enables you to read minds (emotions only) and lift small objects with telekinesis.
Combat Veteran - Basic Survival Skills. Enables you to use the environment to  your advantage.
Thief - Basic Lockpick. Enables you to open locked doors with tumbler locks.

*** Weapons: You can find better ones, but these are what you start out with.

Freerunner - Kitchen Knife. + 3 Offence
Inhuman - Psy Enhancer. + 1 Defence, + 2 Speed
Combat Veteran - AK-47. + 7 Offence, - 4 Speed

I'll take 4 people. If you wish to quit (unlikely), type DEAD followed by a mark out of five for the RPG.

You have three points too many. 7 + 5 + 8 = 20. 

Anyway... You are scavenging in the Junk Wastelands when you hear a whistle. You spin around but see nobody. Do you a) Dismiss it and continue searching, or b) Go and investigate?

Whoops! I'm sorry, you should have stats equal to 20...

You live in a hidden room in an enormous building. You go out every night (when the angels aren't so active) to gather food. On such a day, you hear a rumbling noise coming from the east. Do you a) climb to the top of a building and investigate, or run and hide?

Whoops! I'm sorry, you should have points equal to 20.

You are the owner of a truck. It has 5 fuel. You ferry people across the desert to the safer caves on the other side. Your passengers are a ragtag lot: farmers, soldiers, scientists... All sorts. But one of your passengers today is a little different. A hooded girl with a quiet voice. At first, she does nothing to arouse your suspiscion...but while you stop to take on water, you see her staring intently at a rock, away from the main group. The rock rises slowly into the air, and she stops concentrating and leave. Do you a) confront her about it  or b) dimiss the incedent as a mirage and keep driving?

She pulls a knife out, and attempts to stab you with it. Her hood falls off, and you see she is like no other girl you have ever seen. She is an Inhuman. She has the longer bones and yellow eyes of the offshoot species that emerged some 400 years before the War. However, you thought they were all deasd... She has a strange device attached to her head - a square of white metal with thin cables sinking into her head. Her pupils change shape to crosses, and screaming, slashes at you wildly. You dodge the strike but it cuts you along the arm. Lose 10% health. Do you a) shoot her dead, or b) smash the device on her head with the butt of you gun?
