Pre Gen Characters

Once your choice is made, the Secret Side of the Character sheet will be shared with you

You may Change the name and/or gender (remember Paranoia names work like this First Name - Clearance level - Three letter home sector - Clone#) You may change Tic #1 if you wish (with GM approval) You are required to provide a second tic for your character. Your beginning character has ‘slots’ for two narrow specialties. Don’t select them now; keep these slots open (undefined). During play, when a situation arises that seems to call for a narrow specialty under one of your two available skills, you may ask the GM’s permission to use one of your open slots for that specialty. If the GM lets you put the suggested specialty in that slot, you have used up the open slot and keep that specialty thereafter

I'll go for number one, if that's ok with you GM

Cool, just copy and paste into your character sheet and I will provide you with the secret side.

The secret side contains a background for your character. I got that from the book. If you decide you would like to modify it. You may.

I'll take #2. I didn't realize you knew me. It's like we've grown up and grown old together. I actually researched and was prepared to install a warehousing system in one of my more recent jobs. I will copy and paste now,

I like Number 4. I'll do the copypasting and filling in when I'm at my computer

Dibs on #3 Copy and Pasting now.

I'll go with #5 Chuck-O-VKJ-1 just because :)

CESN, The Computer has requested that you change your character's name from Alpha Complex to your Trouble Shooter's name

I detect no error. I'm just waiting for Bowl of Spinach to submit his character sheet and I would still like to fish for one more player.

Sorry, I thought I had submitted it yesterday. It's there now

I am just waiting for JBlink to submit his character sheet.

In the meantime: here's a fun document that The Computer has generously required you to complete in order to help you fulfill your highest potential on the Troubleshooter team. You may choose to either submit it privately as a note (like a sneaky traitor) or you may choose to courageously submit your answers on full display for the benefit of your entire team. The choice is completely up to you and will in no way whatsoever influence Friend Computer's opinion of you.

Ready? Just copy and paste the quiz below to begin.
