Character Creation Thread

Thanks! I drew him. :) I saw that I rolled full lips and couldn't resist doing a drawing.

Yeah, these lips *are* great! He's one handsome lad!
A bard lover in me wants to flirt at him, but I shall resist. XD

lol

Jomsviking: Corvin Dalles
Attributes: Str 14, Dex 7, Wil 9 (correct)
Background: HP 5, O2 2: Journalist (Incorrect. Not Veterinarian. However, I'll let you decide if you still like to be a Veterinarian. As for animals, there is an alien lizard that a player character left behind at base due to an unfortunate KIA(player leaving). So you will know about that if so.)
PD and PT: (Both require 2d6 rolls. Yes, the rule description is a little wrong)
Extra equipment: (Your highest attribute is 14, so you don't actually get it.)

---

microtheMacroBear: Declan Smith
Atributes: (correct)
Background: Droid Technician (technically correct, however, I want to discuss this further. The current setting does not make use of "droids".)
PD and PT: (correct)
Extra equipment: (highest Attribute is more than 9, so you don't get it.)

Honor_Over_All: Hui Zhili
(Just by luck, you got the same name as another player's character. You may roll again or choose.)
Attributes: (correct)
Background: HP 6, O2 6: Movie Star (wow, you're very lucky! Correct)
Credits: rolled 1, 10 credits (idk how you miscalculated that. However... a Movie Star may carry around more than just that. If you want to stick with this Background, we should discuss how you ended up in this situation.)
PD and PT: (please roll for each with 2d6 instead.)

I would infinitely prefer journalist over Vet. I was a journalist. I dont know head nor tails about veterinary medicine

Cool! I'll drop the corkscrew. As for droid tech, what do you have in mind? He could be a handy man or something like that? I can roll another background if you need me too.

I changed the name and rerolled the PD and PT. Hopefully I don’t seem too dumb here, but the numbers for those don’t match up to anything I see on the results table. What am I missing? haha

As for background, I was thinking something along the lines of ‘extreme method actor’? But I don’t know if that would be too campy for your setting.

You put together results on individual dice - so since you rolled 4 and 4 for personality, you get 44. And same for physical, 22. It just simulates a d66 while eliminating results less than 11.

Ooh ok, thanks!

Think ill keep the PD and PT as written. Declan and Corvin can compete over who has better lips.

@Jomsviking Nice that you rolled you rolled your previous irl job! And sure, players can have the same physical and personality traits, though it may make the trait less unique. Having a lip competition do makes things a little funny :P.

@Honor_Over_All Won't be too campy. Some dark humour of a method actor dealing with cosmic horrors would be in theme!

@microtheMacroBear I'll offer some options.
1) You could be a regular technician. Similar to one other PC.
2) You could be an inventor, designing simple robot models. The AI will be like "near modern" standard, nothing too advanced.
3) You could reroll it(hp and 02 dont need to change)or choose from the list.

I hear they are organizing the 2nd annual lip competition for sometime in March?

I'm going to roll for a new background. Can't let that opportunity pass me by.

Ok, it looks like Declan is now a Space Docker with a hook and a mechanical jack.

Revised Stats

I have an idea for introductions.

With Abdullah Al-Jabbir being a movie actor seeking to be a good method actor, he is offered to promote the fast developing space recolonising efforts. He will be one of the few VIP guests sent to visit the space colonies. However, in an effort to do extreme method acting, he chose to be treated as a humble worker, so as to experience how life away from Darst is like. That means his new credits account is made almost empty, and no body guards will accompany him.

And, since Corvin is a journalist, he could be coming over in the same ship to Mersk. He could be sent so as to report on the daring movie star exploits, as well as any incidents in space. He may even have heard of rumours of top secret discoveries in space, ranging from encounters with alien life, to finding lost ruins from the golden age of colonisation. All rumours are vague and information heavily censored, so the truth is hard to determine, unless one travels to the frontier.
Edit: The company have now allowed journalists to physically visit the colonies. This is after transparency have been dipping over the years, and pure propaganda is not sustainable to encourage public trust. However, the severity of the situation is now only revealing itself to the company too, and transporting journalists may soon be disallowed again...

And lastly, Declan could be another staff already stationed on the base on Mersk. While ships coming and going is not frequent happening roughly once a week, maintainence and inspection work is often done between the new arrivals.
Or, he could be onboard the same ship as Corvin and Al-Jabbir, just finished his training of ship towwing and repair work to be sent to the colony.

What do you guys think?

Just remember, off the record doesnt exist

Also, can you guys order your list of items? Include individual O2 cannisters as part of it. Two handed weapons count as 2 slots. The first few on the list is easiest to remove from inventory, the last few will be hardest.

That sounds fun to me!

I think that works great. I like him riding on the ship with the others.

Organized sheet

Out of curiosity, which factions do your characters hail from? I wanted to do something with Wolf's background - he is an ex-Union noble, - so maybe if anyone is up for it we can have something fun there. :V
Maybe Abdullah is famous in the Union? Or maybe Corvin is publicly critical of it? Not sure about Declan, but that just means we can do anything. XD

Declan is a rich kid that messed up bad enough that he got disowned by his family (gambling).

I think he comes from old money, but not terribly old.

I was thinking UA might make more sense because of the new smart weapons, tech, and rapid expansion.

However, Declan doesn't have to be UA.

If Declan is also Union, he could be noble or one of his parents is an advisor or ambassador or something?

What if Declan and Wolf's family ran in the same circles?

I'd be up for this! One rich kid who messed up and is unhappy about it and one rich kid who messed up on purpose. It'd be even funnier if maybe they knew each other when they were younger - acquaintances in whatever fancy school Union has?

It doesn't have to be Union either - I imagine UA and Union do have connections; maybe Declan's parents *are* ambassadors from UA to Union? And that's how Wolf and him crossed paths, at some high society meeting?
