Character Creation Thread

whatsup Checklist:
Stats: ok
Background: ok. I see that you will be part of the crew maintaining the space ships or land vehicles.
Personality and Physical Trait: you are supposed to have 1, but I'll accept your decision for having 2 for both.
Equipment: personal item and weapon not yet decided.

Btw, I am willing to let you have any other items that would be expected of your character, but nothing that has advantageous use.

Do those personality and physical traits give him any mechanical advantage? Because I don't want that, just thought he would be less two-dimensional this way.

They don't, they're just flavor. /insert shifty look towards my own treacherous epithet/
(...At least there is no mention about it in the rulebook.)

Yes, personality and physical traits are only flavour, that's why I decide not to be too strict about how much you can have.

I picked personal item, weapon (hand axe), and two more if they are ok: a communicator and magnetic boots.

Alright. I'll allow that.

Btw, sorry for taking a while.

What's next?

I see you haven't shared a sheet yet. Let me check it too. But should be all. I'll also figure out how to make you start.

I've just submitted a character.

Thanks. Now just wait for me to create a new thread for you.

Rolls for my Character : Harlock Vyse

Will swap STR with Will (So STR 12 and Will 10)

Character sheet (finally) sent! Please don't hesitate to tell me i I should add or change anything!

Harlock Vyse checklist:
Attributes: ok
Background: Navigator
Personality: Power-hungry
Appearance: 9 fingers
===

Are you comfortable with knowing how to role play this? If you prefer certain details to change, I'll allow 1 reroll them

No reroll needed! It's going to be fun!

Alright I approved your sheet to view it easier. However, there are some things I want to discuss.

So, your background and items. My setting is not as advanced as the game rules have it be. There will not be "star maps" and scales like that. However, I can change it to be a bit smaller, yet still a Navigator.

You could be a ship pilot of sorts that have experience riding on/driving the space ships for delivery of resources and stuff between colonising worlds. Do you want your region of work to only be in the local star system? Or do you want to have the experience of having gone to the other star systems? If you choose the latter, you will have some other interesting knowledge that you may or may not want to keep secret.

---

Another thing, could you list out the order of items you have? Because there is a rule for this game that the closest to number 1 slot it is, the easier to quickly retrieve it from inventory.

Btw, I consider O2 cannisters to take up individual slots

Rolling character

Name: Grant Traft
Background:Welder

Details:
Physical trait: Pimply Skin
Personality: Malicious

HP:1 O2: 5
Str:12 Dex: 13 Will: 9

Credits:30
Items:
Welder, Steel Plate

Checklist:

Attributes: correct
HP, credits, o2: correct
Personality and physical: correct.
(I'll allow you to make a reroll for personality and physical if you feel uncomfortable with what you got.)
Background: correct

Edit:
Or... we could do something interesting, but at risk of player vs player. Like say, being a lowly welder who is malicious and less than pretty makes for a good recruit for the cult/club. The question is if such scenario can allow for an ex-member to to switch sides, or maybe you're a spy/traitor to it all along.

Or you can always get creative with interpreting a personality. :P Wolf's roll was Treacherous, and I instead made it into "seem treacherous, not actually is, just a loner".

Yeah. I guess we don't need to have strict definitions of characteristics. Any explanation for "malicious" but is not actually a bad person is fine.

Ok. Great!

I’m definitely fine with the pimply skin.

I was going to ask about the malicious. I can flip that roll 2,3 and get something else.

I was also thinking (seeing y’all’s comments in the OOC thread) about doing kind of guy who is nice and personable and charismatic, but ruthless to the point of almost being toxic, to get what he wants. Somewhere on the spectrum of Marco from Animorphs to Gaius Baltar or Patrick Bateman…

I type this out now and I’m feeling charismatic sociopath.

How do we feel about that? I’m also totally happy to reroll to get something less antithetical to the party if we’d prefer.
