Character Creation Thread

Here is where you generate your unlucky folks who will leave their familiar lives behind.

A'ight, tome to generate that poor sucker...

Edit: lol, looks like space priest is going to die first... :P
Guess I'll swap WIL and DEX...Edit: Oh, forgot the credits are actually 1d6x10, I'll correct that...

Edit 2: Background:
A little over 750 years ago, the various denominations of the Abrahamic religions attempted to work out their differences and come together under a unified worship of the same god. They worked tirelessly to correct any contradiction in their various holy texts, often explaining those away as human error creeping in throughout the ages and corrupting the infallible word of God. Those few resisting this change were silenced and quietly removed... This eventually led to the birth of the of Church of the Maker of All.

As the years passed, the Church of the Maker of All evolved like many religions do, and eventually splintered off into various interpretation of the holy texts. The irony that this fusion of religions which was meant to stamp off any incorrect interpretation of the holy texts eventually led to a splintering of interpretations was not lost on the church which originally attempted to violently stamp out those new denominations as they cropped up. It would seem it is humanity's fate to disagree on everything, even something they agreed on not disagreeing about...

It did succeeded it stomping out many, but a few fell between the cracks and thrived, often requiring their members to flee to other factions for their own safety. Jerome is a member of one such splinter group: The Brotherhood of Mankind. After all, did not the holy texts told us we were all descendants from Adam and Eve? Does science also does not tell us that humanity migrated out of the African continent? The Brotherhood of Mankind believes all of humanity to be related by blood, that every single person is the brother and sister—if not in a literal biological sense then at least in a deeply spiritual level—to every other single person or Darst and it's many colonies.

The Brotherhood preaches peace, cooperation, compassion, tolerance, and forgiveness. It is also one of the rare denominations of the Church of the Maker of All which does not hate the strange aliens which approached mankind. Those aliens approached humanity with a message of peace. They did so, trying to look like us. If they wanted to harm us, they would have done so by now. So the Brotherhood believes the main church to be misguided in that regard.

Jerome was born on Darst and raised among a very religious family. It only made sense for him to join the priesthood of the Brotherhood when he came of age. He married his high school sweetheart Cecille, and together they had three beautiful children: Montel, Janice, and William, who in turn grew up and gave Jerome and Cecille grandkids of their own. William even followed in his father's footsteps and joined teh Brotherhood as well. When Cecille was diagnosed with a brain tumor 8 years ago, it came as a great shock to the Huxleys. They tried to work through those troubling times, but sadly, Cecille lost her battle with cancer about 3 years ago, which brought a sort of crisis of faith to Jerome who slid into a severe depression. As he was starting to climb out of his depression, he was approached by the Men-in-Black for a mission in space... It would seem like the Maker of All had some plans for Jerome...

Thank you for rolling your stats, and creating the character sheet layout in a tidy manner. So far it looks good, though I’ll check closer again.

I am thinking I’ll set up threads for character introductions. I can tell there may be interesting moral conflicts between Misuki and Jerome. I think she might have been an inmate due to certain corporate crime...

Jumping on the bandwagon of creation/generation/extrapolation

Checklist:

Kalajel's sheet mostly looks good, though edit with my statements below. I'll check on your background later

Qralloq do not roll for extra items, as character's highest attribute is 12, not 9 or less. Also, decide one personal item.

Remnant, you also get signed photos. But, if you rather do without them, I can allow you to have something else that is relevant to your Rockstar career.

Btw, I'm thinking of having the O2 Cannisters to take an inventory slot individually.
Also, edit your number of slots to show how much you can carry.

Alright. If you have a good idea of your character, and that you record your stats right, then that's good.

What is their name?

Uh as outlined he is called Oddball and introduces himself as such "Jus' call me Oddball, baby" but if you need his official name I can whip one up how about Professor Odlyxacur Ballantschnik

RoAries how does one calculate or come by the Defense value that I saw on the sheet?

Defense comes from the armour you're wearing.
Example is the Vacsuit everyone is given. It is Def 1.

OK, rolling up stats now...

So, looks like I'm a veterinarian? If I'm understanding things correctly, I'll look around for a sci-fi doctorly character portrait and work on the rest soon.

I've got a few character portraits I'm debating among. Let's roll and see if the results suggest one portrait over another:

Edit: The "bronze-skinned" does suggest a portrait I have in mind. "Enigmatic" sounds like an annoying character to play, so will re-roll that one. (Also, I love the D66 rolls. Haven't seen those since Toon back in the '90s!).

Stealing Qralloc's character sheet design:

Looks good!

Though I wonder if a someone like a vet would be working at the colony. There wouldn't be pets around, and alien life is not found yet. Doctor maybe perhaps. What do you think?

Edit: Maybe, you could be a people-treating doctor, but also has knowledge about animals and has a tranquilliser gun as self-defense.

Yeah, worst case we can make him a medic instead? But I wonder — who are the movers and shakers on this colony? Maybe some of the leadership have smuggled pets along with them, and my PC is treating them in secret? That probably wouldn't be popular with the hoi polloi, especially in a situation where O2 is at a premium. This situation might open up more RP opportunities than a generic medic, but I'm not that familiar with the lore quite yet.
