Pedrop Character Creation

Which Term was that in for you?
Nothing here says Raf's was not a success, just that those rewards were not gained, but no one was angry about it either.

The 3rd. There's a handy overview here. I'll cross out Trailhead's character.
You can't line them up until you know the final amount of terms, right?
Oh, I guess that's true :)

Indeed, the last one is now, so they line up from the bottom.

Aaah right smugcon5465™
Hell of a convention! Nobody paid the entrance fee btw😉

That convention was hell, until they realised it was a convention for smug people, it got better when they stole all the Jags on their way out. :)

😂

It's like the thieves guild in Discworld. Only government-sanctioned smuggling, and you need a license :D

Sorry for derailing your char creation post, Pedrop :S

@Pedrop, hows it going? Do you need anything from us to help with your next Term?

Sorry it was just a lot of information to take in, had to thing it through and I'm a little sick last few days, but still working a lot.

So it looks, that Raf is now 34 yo, but advanced in his 4th term. Now roll for aging, and the choice if I stay in this career or not. What I will do for my last term...
I guess it will 2d6-4 as there were 4 terms total for now...

Wow... I have spend way too much time for this decision... And in the end I figured out that Raf at this point's want's to establish his own business, to get more power/wealth as this is the only way that he see to get to know what really had happened with his planet. So he is ending his career as Marine Merchant... heading for Scout, Surveyor - to find the proper place for his "base of operation" - what is more like "new area with small competition", and by area I mean some cluster of systems of border worlds. Also he is hopping to get training with a guns, as he knows that he will have a need to "defend" himself.
So now... Mustering out... As I understand this I get 5 benefit rolls for this career. 3 full terms, +2 for getting to 3rd rank. I will decide where I roll before each roll as I hope to get Free Trader( good fit for some beginner "business" man... with high street wise... ;) ). Also as you said - if I use my two events: "A good deal ensures you are living the high life for a few years. Gain DM+1 to any one Benefit roll."

First roll... lets go....

Lol... 2... but it is a INT+1... becoming a real criminal/bussiness mastermind? Noting on the sheet. Ok, next one. This time without event, one event left.

And... here we are! A quirky Free Trader! :D Good for business. Noting 25% of it on the sheet. Next roll.

Getting smarter, and smarter... INT +1 ;) Noting on the sheet. Ok, this time a cash.

This is the way to go! :) A apparently Raf has done some proper "transactions" this time... :) It's Cr40000 :D Noting... Ok, the last one... hmmm... hard decision... very hard... but the cash is always quite flexible... using event this time. So no more events to use, and that will be a 2nd roll for cash - one left.

Lol... it looks that you not always live in times of prohibition or something like that... :) Better this then nothing. Cr5000 - noting.

Ok... time to go for a Scout career... really hope they will allow Raf in...

Qualification: INT 5+ and DM -1 for previous career, luckily Raf has risen it during previous career. So the final DM = 0.

Lol... he really like to walk on the knife edge! :) Ok... choosing - as planed - Gun Combat at 0, as basic training. Ok... it's time to stop and wait for confirmation of all those steps.
So the next step is to roll for one of the tables now, yes? Or the basic training was all I get... hope it is not the case...

Note to self: roll for ship quirks.

Boy, you really know how to doom yourself with event bonuses. :) (Perhaps someone is interfering with your life, making it look like you are getting a benefit but undermining you on a deeper level? Maybe they don't get to interfere when you allow fate to take its course?)

That all looks correct (from memory).

Even in first Term you roll on the tables, this is in addition to Basic Training.

Ok, I will try to end my character creation from mechanics pov first, and then star to gradually answer all your interesting(but not so easy... :) ) question about Rafael's backstory. Ok, so rolling for one of the tables. That was a hard choice between PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT and SURVEYOR. first has vary good options to make my character stronger, but SURVEYOR is good fit for my backstory assumptions - making/preparing for his own business. So... I choose Personal Development as those stats are needed, and potentially will help with his survival roll. Hoping for advancement and then using SURVEYOR table.

Ok, DEX+1 - always handy, at least as HP:) Oh... and rising it to 6, removing -1 DM from it! Better then I thought. I wonder what caused his development in this on those border words? :) I think it was his training and probably actually using his Gun Combat skill...
Ok, now survival I suppose. Important moment I think:)
