Spawning and characters

[OllyHarris 6]

Hello, basically spawning on the coast with no gear what-so-ever is a bit repetitive and unlikely; so I was thinking, maybe you could have a story for your character.

My main ideas that your character is actually doing something when the "zombie" outbreak is apparently making it's toll on Chernarus.

A few points:

Yes, this would mean the virus would be pretty fast

The things these guys are doing will have to be "Time consuming"

And this may take the whole "survival" aspect from the game

Well to try and justify those points, the person doesn't have to be of special significance, he could just be some local family man who is out camping etc.

But this is how I'd imagine it....

You spawn in, all you can see is the inside of a tent {Presumed you were sleeping}, you check your phone and have lots of messages regarding the apocalypse.

This would/could give your character a few more sentimental values and make you a bit more interested in your characters well-being.

Your character could also have perks or something similar. Say the character above was on a hunting trip, maybe they could have an average backpack, civilian weapon {Hunting rifle or Double barrel shotgun} etc.

But it would need disadvantages: Considering he was hunting, he'd be most likely far from civilization, towns etc.

So this was my ideas, pretty basic I know, and with the whole perks thing I don't think they should be short term - like gear. But long term, say the same character was a ex-military helicopter pilot; maybe then he and others with helicopter experience would be able to fly.

{Story line of the character could be implemented with the journal issued in the latest update}

Well I'm pretty sure that's all of it, have a think leave better/improved idea below.

Thanks.
