This RP was originally on a site where GM would make pre-mades; I'm not a fan of this system so there is absolutely no way that PYKM is going to use it, but I figured that I'd drop the pre-mades here just in case anybody's stuck and needs ideas Feel free to take and change any aspects if you want, or you can also completely ignore this post.
