Characteristics: 6 9 5 10 2 8
I believe the correct spelling is 695A28. Though I did not see any mention of UPP in the new book. :)
If this was a joke, I didn't get it. If it wasn't a joke... I still don't get it :) :)

Enter uni - (2d6+1)
You could have said `2d6+1+1` to have it add the DM (also a confusing term:) for you. [/quote]

Hmm, I thought it was just 2d6+1 where does the extra +1 come from?
Airshark says:
Edu+1 (will make my character sheet when I'm at home)
No worries. Submit the character when you get a chance.[/quote]
working on it.
Airshark says:
Graduation dm+0 - (2d6) (4,2) = 6
vagueGM says:

At least you passed.

What happened that you just scraped through? What stopped you from getting Honours? Things to think about.

Maybe your Event has something to do with it? That should have been rolled before you left University.
ok, sorry 'bout that. Don't know if it fits, but I would say the tutor I was competing with didn't like my face and gave me a bad grade (or is that to simplistic?)

If I'm correct I now have finished university and should enter a different path. I watching a youtube video to help me with all the steps. If I get stuck, I'll let you know ofcourse. Feel free to interrupt my progress at any time ;-)

I also ordered a keyboard for my smartphone, that should make things easier.... if it works ;-)

my second term will be a physician. My parents made me choose this. If I pass great, If I don't, it is because they forced my hand choosing the same career they have.

Aside from the fact that I got it wrong, since you listed them in two different random orders. Universal Personality Profiles (or was it Universal Character Profiles) were a way to represent a character in one line. The new book appears to have stopped using them --though there is still a place for them in the character sheet-- and only used the UWP Universal World Profiles.

Don't worry about them. If we use them they will be made clear, if they don't come up they will not matter.
Airshark says:
... I thought it was just 2d6+1 where does the extra +1 come from? ...
+1 for your EDU score, plus another +1 for being high SOC. (page 16)
Airshark says:

Perfectly fine.

You don't have to come up with a story for every thing that happens, these are just things that can be thought about during the process. At the table my asking such questions is easier to ignore and does not seem like such a big deal, I was mainly just illustrating the point that these can be more than just numbers.

You passed, that is all that mattered. It felt like your parents may have expected more, and having an excuse (or a reason) might help them.

... now have finished university and should enter a different path ...
Correct, now you need to start your Career (though I see nothing preventing you from going to Military Academy as well, though it is your second Term, so it is harder to get in). You now need pick that Career.
Airshark says:
... my second term will be a physician ...
So, Scholar, with the Physician Assignment (page 42)? That also gives you the best chances of increasing your Medic. But remember that you can't get it higher than 4.
Airshark says:

That can make a huge difference. Now you only need to fight with the small screen, but that is less of hindrance in my experience than the lack of keyboard.

since I have an edu of 10+ I can use the advanced table, but I will roll on the physician table.

regular skills: 1d6

Rolls

regular training 1d6 - (1d6)

(4) = 4

Gonna take a break now so you can review my procedings.
One of your remarks will probably be there is not enough fiction :)

I'll try to start my 3th term tomorow

@Airshark: Did you roll to Qualify for the Scholar Career? You get a bonus because of your University Graduation, but you still need to roll to get in.

Airshark says:
... I have an edu of 10+ I can use the advanced table ...
Yes, good thing you went to University. :)
Airshark says:
... but I will roll on the physician table ...
After you get Medic maxed, you might want to try the other tables. It might be worth thinking about Personal Development, since I think it is much easier to increase Skills than Characteristics once the game starts.
Airshark says:
... science (chose biology) ...
For Basic Training you get all Science at 0, so you don't choose a speciality now. All Science stuff goes to 0.
Airshark says:
... not sure if I get a +1 on medic at this point ...
Yes. If they just list the skill with no rank it means you increase it by 1 (or take it from untrained to 1, skipping 0).
Airshark says:
... can I increase all my flyer skills to +1 now??? ...
Just one specialised skill, not the whole set.
Airshark says:
... Maybe I should roll on the physician skill chart ...
Why?
Airshark says:
... rolling for benefits after leaving this career ...
Are you leaving the Scholar Career already? You don't roll to leave (Muster Out) till you leave the Career.
Airshark says:
... One of your remarks will probably be there is not enough fiction ...
Don't stress about it. When we are all together at the table chatting about each step there tends to be more fiction. We can fill in the details after we know where things are going and link the characters together and shape the world.

Feel free to give us whatever you come up with during the process, though, as that will tell what sort of world we are in.

THAT is a perfect example how hard it is to play someone smarter than yourself. #facepalm

Rolls

(34) + 2 = 9

Oh, I thought because I failed the advancement roll, I couldn't stay in this career.

What, you think you are so clever you just automatically get in? :)

Anyway, you got in. :)

No, you just don't get promoted.

Survival rolls often (usually?) lead to your getting kicked out.
