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...

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.

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

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.
Sep 19, 2021 10:16 pm
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!).

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.

I mean there's no experiments to see how livestock take to the location? Also Vets make assume medics as long as they aren't doing specialized surgery.
Wild tangent, how bout animal or bird scouts mapping areas around the compound that are on recall and checked out, if they drop dead we know Daaanger Zone dead body is recovered and the sensor array is checked for compound elements at the location. (Yes last part song in big band hair voice)

I like any or all of those ideas — veterinarian for the colony leaders' secret pets, part of some sort of livestock research project (secret or not), or keeper of the proverbial canaries in the coal mine.
Sep 21, 2021 3:02 pm
Just throwing out ideas, it's not like Ro isn't going to use it to but us in the bum... maybe gently chew on our head.
Sep 22, 2021 2:18 am
Those are interesting ideas. I think experimenting on animals/livestock on the planet's environment could be a thing these people do.
Hmm, "canaries" that are used for "less than safe" planetary exploration. That's a unique idea. I'll think about that.
And the secret pet thing... We'll see about that...

Bonobos? No, I imagine they're all clones of Laika. :)
Seriously, I looked over the background thread. The Union seems like the faction most likely to have secret pets, though the corporate overlords of the Industrial Alliance might also fit that bill.
The United Advancement sounds militaristic, and might be the ones who use canaries to test out new environments. Also a likely faction to have a secret bioweapon project that might employ veterinarians.
If the Maker's Men have any ties to real-world, ancient earth religions, they may have need of animals for sacrifice. Many African and African Diaspora religions, Judaism—historically at least—and Islam all have animal sacrifices, for instance. They may keep and care for animals for such purposes, as typically you don't want to sacrifice a poorly treated animal, as that makes the gods mad.
The Industrial Alliance also seems like a good candidate for a secret biotech project involving live animal testing or some such.
Should we pick one or more of the above? Or just leave it undefined for now until it's narratively appropriate?

I am also not fully decided too. So I'll say we could pick one that you like that is also usable in the narrative of your background. The different factions/organisations have general descriptions, but since you have looked through that thread, we can give them additional animal related involvement.
There could be other things your character may not be involved with or have knowledge of, so those things can be for later.

Sounds perfect. Once you're ready for me to jump in, I'll just roll with the narrative, and we can determine the exact nature of the vet work later.
I did roll that "enigmatic" personality trait, though—maybe I'll lean into that after all by saying that whatever his employment is or has been (maybe he's been let go for some reason), he's not supposed to talk about it due to some NDA or death threats or something. :)

I love random character generation. Surprise me, dice! :D
Edit: and that's an... electrician? Welp, time to brush up old textbooks, that's definitely not my strongest area of knowledge. XD Look at this guy's muscles tho.
Also, Wolfish Eyes and Treacherous! Any objections if I downplay Treacherous into somehing more co-op friendly? Creative interpretation: the character tends to hesitate before fighting for others and unlikely to be the first to trust, but doesn't outright betray anyone... just tends towards selfishness. What do you think? I'm not sure I want (and can) play a traitor, but an anti-social grumpy electrician - sure! Or he might be a compulsive liar, maybe?

I see that you rolled already, ignore the recent message I sent.
Also, Wolfish eyes and Treacherous. That's a highly sus combination. Yeah, we should try to work on it. Though... that could work for a potential antagonist. I will allow you to make a reroll to see if it will be better, or you can reinterpret your electrician to be distrusting grumpy type. Whatever you feel is better.

I think it sounds like a fun combo, so grumpy type it is! :D
Speaking of, would clawed gauntlets be medium or large melee weapon? Technically you can throw them, but I doubt it'd be effective. XD (Yup, I'm leaning into that Wolfish Eyes roll. It's going to be one scary electrician.)

Clawed gauntlets would be an unusual weapon here, but I suppose the electrician could be eccentric enough to have one pair custom made. I'll say it is Large Melee Weapon when wearing and attacking with both gauntlets, and Medium Melee if you happen to use only one.

Looks good. Btw, what sentimental value does his glasses have? The Personal Item is for Will recovery, which means something that can restore sanity after experiencing some horrors.
Oct 5, 2021 10:08 pm
Something like a favorite accessory/good luck charm, I guess? He wears them practically all the time, so there's sentimentality born of having something for a very long time. (I sure have some sentimental attachment to my own glasses. XD) If there should be something concrete, they might've been something he bought after his first successful mercenary job?
Oct 6, 2021 11:20 am
Wait, mercenary job? He was a mercenary before he became an electrician?
If so, is he like the technical specialist of the team, or was he more of an assassin type to be wearing the claw gauntlets?

Sort of! I have this in his bio:
So he's a mercenary, but not always for combat-related jobs? Freelancer would be a better term! Using what skills he possesses to find various job, whatever strikes him fancy at the moment in life.
I figure a normal electrician probably will have more hesitation taking up on some quest to a cursed place. XD
Do you mean the PC team? I figure he'd be both - doing electrical jobs during travel, clawing enemies during planet missions! :D And on the colony base, he probably only been doing electrician stuff so far, which is why he's slightly bored and wants out.

My bad. I now have read through the spoilers in your sheet.
I meant like the Mercenary teams he was a part of. So looks like he mostly does security duty for "suspicious groups".
Ok, I suppose that's a fair motivation to join. Thank you for helping me to clarify his backstory in short notice.
I guess he would be dealing with the Industrial Alliance and other underhanded groups before coming into service with the United Advancement, which is the leading industry in space travel.

Yeah, he's mostly in it for the money and adrenaline. I was thinking he doen't care about who to work for as long as it isn't outright criminal and pays well. Be it companies, politics, mercenaries, less serious smugglers, random people looking for a bodyguard, whatever ships needed an electrician or a guard, etc. :D He also doesn't like working too long for one employer, so that's an extra motivation!
And he wouldn't think too long about which particular group (Alliance, Advancement, Maker's Men...) he inadvertly assists, since he has no opinions about them or politics between them. Except Union, as he has relatives here and probably wishes to not come into contact with them if he can avoid it. But otherwise, no faction loyalty whatsoever. XD

Ok, let's get to the inevitable...
Hp 4, O2 1 -> space docker, equipped with a hook and a mechanical jack, 20 credits, and a single oxygen cannister
Let's swap Dex with Str, -> Str 14, Dex 6, Wil 14
Stuff
flashlight, personal item: medallion with spiritual pattern, 1 oxygen cannister, hook, mechanical jack, weapon: hand axe, vacsuit, communicator, magnetic boots
Character
calloused hands, tattooed body, dreadlocks, black skin, name's Bwaudan Luossa
I'll roll for personality, but if I don't like them, I'll choose instead: dominating but impressionable. Hm. Ok, let's go with those.

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/

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

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".
Jul 18, 2023 4:44 am
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.
Jul 18, 2023 2:10 pm
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.

You guys also get to have 1 weapon. This should be something that you feel matches your character aesthetic.

For weapon I’m thinking Crowbar (medium melee weapon).
For personal item I’m thinking a chess piece. It’s a token of how I got over on someone.

Woah, microtheMacroBear, did you draw Declan yourself? I love the art style! :0
Nov 18, 2023 4:59 pm
Thanks! I drew him. :) I saw that I rolled full lips and couldn't resist doing a drawing.
Nov 18, 2023 5:02 pm
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

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".)

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.)

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.

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.

Think ill keep the PD and PT as written. Declan and Corvin can compete over who has better lips.
Nov 22, 2023 5:59 am
@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
Name: Declan Smith Age:46
BG: Space Docker
HP: 2
Oxygen: 2
STR: 8
DEX: 10
WIL: 11
Armor: none
Weapon:
Small Ranged: (shoot at medium distance) Gold plated pistol in a dockers clutch - D6
Durability: 3
Creds: 60
Starting Equipment 13/13
Item A - hook
Item B - mechanical jack
Flashlight
Personal Item (Casino token hung around his neck)
Standard Vacsuit
Traits:
Full lips
Fatalistic
Background:
Declan used to be a playboy. Life came easy to him. However after running up a massive gambling debt, his family disowned him. The next few years were hard and he was forced to grow up. Eventually, he managed to find work as a space docker.
He's been doing that ever since.
He carries totems of his former life, a casino credit token fashioned around his neck on a metal chain and a gold plated pistol he wears in a dockers clutch.
Rightly or wrongly, he blames the universe for his lot in life and has resigned himself to whatever fate will be.

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?

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.

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

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?

Yes! I like the high society idea. Maybe they were part of the same social circles at some point?

Nice that you are working with the idea of backgrounds tied to a common faction. I'll allow suggestions of the faction nuances, like the name of the prestigious Union-based school.
The idea of these factions is that the world is a collection of city states ruled by a world government. Over time, people distrust the suppression of truth and history by the Union, and wanted some competing new blood to become the next potential world government, and so comes in the United Advancement.
For centuries, the Union have access to rocket tech, but wants to keep it unused and as a secret. Seemingly "over paranoid" about the dangers of going back to space after the ancient alien war. It was the UA that broke through this limit, much to frustration of the Union due to their overall weakening power.
(I just enjoy respouting my lore.)

Very cool! Well, maybe Delcan's parents are Union delegates instead and he met Wolf at fancy parties?
Nov 27, 2023 8:26 pm
This sounds good to me! They met at a party, then maybe commiserated about said party being boring together and then went for a drink? Enough to remember each other as a weird but pleasant encounter, but not enough for too strong of a connection?
Nov 27, 2023 10:09 pm
That works perfectly! They may or may not know each others names, but definitely recognize each other?
