Term Zero: Adolescence

1. Determine attributes. Roll 2D* six times. Assign the results as you wish.
[ +- ] The Six Attributes
2. Background skills. Determine the skills you've learned growing up on your home world. You may wish to think about what kind of world you come from to guide you, or just pick skills that you think you'd enjoy having and let that inform the story of your adolescence.
[ +- ] Background Skills

*2D is the way Traveller writes 2D6. Since the six-sided die is the only one used in Traveller, they don't bother specifying the 6. The GP dice roller still uses 2d6.

Term One: 18 - 22 Years Old

1. Higher Education? Decided if higher education is something you'd like to apply for and resolve accordingly - either University or Military Academy. If you choose not to apply or your application is denied, pick a career and start that instead.

In addition to making the rolls and recording skills learned and such, narrate what happened to your character. What options did you select? What results transpired? It doesn't have to be set in stone, but sketch out some details as to your character's experience during these four years.

Let's get some edumacation. Unfortunately my entrance essay was too political and offensive and I was rejected outright. No matter, I will learn on the job!

Term 1 - Pre-Career: Military Academy

Being just smart enough to finish school, but no where near smart enough to go to University, Traveller hopes to join the Military Academy!

Fail

Stung by the Academy not even considering his application, Traveller turns his back on the Military Forces. Rather than patrolling the stars, he sets his sights upon patrolling his little corner of the universe!

Term 1 - Career: Agent - Law Enforcement

Passing through Police Academy with ease, Traveller earns his badge and blues. A rookie on the beat, he picks up the basics quick. What he doesn’t pick up, is how things work. He followed a couple of leads a little too far, a little too high. This thing went right to the top.

He managed to talk his way out of getting stitched up by promising to get himself off-world and never darken the door of the Police Department ever again…

Term 1 - University We regret to inform you that you application has been rejected.

Term 1 - Merchant Career (Broker) Following her devastating rejection from the most prestigious campuses in the sector, her dreams of engineering and stellar cartography were crushed. While her family was minor nobility they were mainly purveyors and distributors of fabric and textiles. She wandered into the family business and started on the cutting floor. Textiles isn't what she imagined she'd do with her life, but there you have it. She quickly moved herself into the sales and procurement, seeing that as her path forward.

Term 1 - Rogue Career Entry. (No college for this whippersnapper.) FAIL.
No rogue career either apparently. What a wuss.

Term 1 - Drifter - couldn't even survive that.

He's a space bum, living hand-to-mouth in slums and spaceports across the galaxy and not even doing well at that so he became a drifter. He was nearly killed when chatting up a pretty blonde at a job he took as a cook to make ends meet. Distracted, he knocked over the grease bucket, it landed on the grill and hot grease spattered onto one side of his face. When he finally healed he was attacked on his way home from the hospital.
Crime: You commit or are the victim (or are accused) of a crime. Lose one Benefit roll or take the Prisoner career in your next term.

Term Two: staying in Journalism, rolling on Journalist skill. Skill: Drive 1. Survived! Event: you are part of your homeworld's celebrity circle, gain a skill (Pursuade 1). Advanced! Become a staff writer, gain Investigate 1 (already had it, boo!).

After my exposé of the corrupt police, I got hired as a regular staff writer for my homeworld's paper. Sadly there wasn't an opening in the investigative department yet, so I was assigned to the celebrity gossip department for a bit. It wasn't what I wanted but the pay was steady and I got to meet many celebrities.

Term 2: Career - Citizen Colonist

Traveller sets out for the stars, and gets set up on some far flung planet; away from his old life! He spends some time looking over his shoulder, but eventually sets his hands to clay.

His old police instincts stick with him, and he manages to sniff out corruption once again. But this time, he isn’t leaving. He’s staying right here!

Term Two: 22 - 26 Years Old

Attempting to become a scout, KHazuni (Zuni to his friends although he has few of those now) had few options left, and the idea of a military career where actual discipline was involved grated his nerves. Ecstatic that he somehow managed to get into that career, he felt his luck had changed and decided to enroll in the second easiest of the options (because he didn't believe his luck had changed that much) as a surveyor with the uncharacteristic idea of advancement.

He is smart and he feels he was justly awarded the post but what really surprises him is the higher-ups wanting him to be a diplomat considering charisma wasn't exactly his strong suit. But miraculously he performed an exemplary service for the scouts by being brave and exploring a treacherous cave that was said to contain valuable minerals.
Forgot the -1 for a previous career but amazingly, it's moot. Yay!

Gain DM+1 to any one Benefit roll (event table roll).
Gain Vac Suit 1 skill
Training - Gain Gun Combat skill
Gain 1 rank in Scout


Zuni would like to connect to someone for the perks.

Buoyed by her success, she continues to explore the fine line between trade and diplomacy. On the seedier side of this line is often pretending that she is someone else or has more authority to deal than she really commands.

Skill learned: Art +1 (Speciality: Performer)

Survival: Passed

Event: You make an alliance with a powerful and charismatic noble, who becomes an Ally. Either gain one level of Leadership or DM+4 to your next Advancement roll thanks to their aid.

A lucrative deal is brokered when she works a con with another noble from an unrelated concern, and convinces a civic government to engage them some source. The afterparty is epic.

With a wide wide universe to populate, and no starting notes, I trust that this won't step on any toes. I'm happy to change almost any of this.

House Llewyn of Ichara

One phrase to sum up the scions of House Llewyn is: "They want you to think they've been going legit for generations."

Ichara is a temperate world, wet with rainforests and vast fields. The progenitors grew some of the finest cloths and silks in the Imperium, at first using genetically altered plants and silk worms designed to thrive in that specific environment. Their early successes were buoyed into a vast trading network, the majority of which was not in moving textiles alone, but in smuggling contraband. This network was used clandestinely by the Imperium during the First Imperial Civil War. Bronwyn Llewyn secretly turned on her neighbours and helped the fledgeling empress regain control of the subsector. Her supply ships ferried imperial agents through the heart of the region, forestalling any move to organize a resistance. As a reward, empress Arbellatra elevated Bronwyn Llewyn to Baroness Llewyn in control of the Subsector 133.

Bronwyn's deceits ran deeper, however, and she established a dynasty of smugglers. With the broad discretion of a noble title, she founded a matriarchy of pirate queens. For a 150 years, they pushed outwards, gathering wealth and crushing competition in near space, buying what they needed, taking what they wanted. Llewyn fabrics cloth the mighty and the connected, including lucrative contracts supplying the Imperial Navy.

Seally Llewyn was born into an era of House Llewyn where their former smuggling empire had transformed into a somewhat wealthy trading concern. The Imperial contracts allowed them to focus on distribution of their core textile business, obtaining material throughout known space to serve a hungry galactic demand, rather than production of their own material. Diplomats, agents, and merchants, House Llewyn plies known space for opportunities. Unfortunately for Seally, the family is quite large and the ranks are full of her cousins, distant and near.

Independently minded, Seally obtained a downpayment on a yacht, the Rippled Corsair from her grandmother, Aurelia Llewyn, as a reward for services. The ship is likely haunted, and has some damage and eccentricities, but Seally loves it as her ticket to making a name for herself. Like all Llewyns, however, where she goes she will seek adventure and wealth, but will always be looking for opportunities to leverage back to her family trade network. She's one of many, and not far removed from power, should a daunting number of accidents or scandals eliminate her older relatives from succession. She isn't obsessed with that, but if she can prove herself on her own, she hopes that may one day lead to further elevation in the family.

The Republic of Norel broke off diplomatic relationships with the Imperium over reports of mistreatment of Noreli citizens, their historical ties to Terra and a negative perception of the Imperium’s continued intrigues and expansion along its borders. The Imperium delegation was encouraged "politely" to leave the system. The entire embassy infrastructure disbanded and Zuni, who had been just keeping his head above water was given the opportunity to become a scout, and the rest is history.

Alerio

https://i.imgur.com/L8Ma3JH.jpg

Hailing from Aarza Kand, out in the Shinkan Sub-sector, ‘Alerio’ was desperate to escape the grip of low level crime that swallowed up so many of her peers.

She applied to go off-world, and study at the Military Academy. An application that was rejected. She didn’t have the right connections. Stuck planet-side, Alerio grit her teeth and decided to try make a difference on Aarza Kand.

Everyone who’s anyone knows that the Ekilati Onati are the biggest game in town on Kand. A Vargr gang meant problems; and lots of them. One of these problems was something that Alerio just couldn’t let go. She chased the case to its conclusion… and it got her kicked off the force. Kicked off the planet!! She barely made it out with her life. Her name… she lost that.

Seeing how things really work between the Law and Big Crime, Alerio crossed the sub sector, landing on some nothing planet where people didn’t ask too many questions. There was so much promise; so much opportunity.

And Alerio took it! Her worldview shattered, she skimmed a little here and there. Put pressure on the right people at the right time. She did well.

Until she didn’t. 8 years she spent on that dirt rock, until there was sufficient interest in the place for the Ekilati Onati to want to get their dirty paws in the pie.

Alerio decided that it was better to shoot first this time around. Burning that bridge, she took to the stars, with the Ekilati Onati on her tail!

Her entrance essay was radical and condemned by the stuffy elites in their white tower of education. Instead she became a freelance journalist, seeking stories of corruption and criminality to bring down the rich and powerful. Her first break was a tip from a police officer who spilled the beans on corruption in the high ranks of the force. Her story gained her enough attention to be offered a job at a subsector-influential newswire. Unfortunately, it was in the entertainment department.

Fallon decided to stick around, honing her craft and making connections with the rich and influential entertainers. She gained a few friends and even a patron. They would feed her info, anonymously of course, that she would publish in her own newsletter under a pseudonym. Respectable journalist by day, investigative journalist vigilante by night.

But after eight years of not much progress other than becoming a staff writer, she itched to get back to her roots of independent jounalism that would make a difference in the galaxy. She resigned her post, gathered her money and belongings, and hit the space ports to start fresh.

Connection: Zuni and Seally

After Zuni's heroic cave exploits, he was sent by the Scouts to a diplomatic training course. Few of the people there had heard stories such as his, and so he was asked to repeat it several times.

Meanwhile, Seally was basking in the support from her grandmother, Aurellia Llewyn, about obtaining a ship to go off on her own properly. Head swimming with dreams of deep space exploring, she overheard this Zuni character's story, and dragged him off to dinner and drinks. What started as a fact finding interrogation turned quickly into a friendship of shared goals.

After the party, they hung out for a few days, doing drugs and trying to do anything but be a "stuffy treaty budgie". Who's here it was is not important, but a heist gone wrong taught Seally much using her uncle's monoblade, and taught Zuni much about surviving the harsh environment of the frozen tundra.

Seally: Melee [Blades) 1
Zuni: Survival 1

Connection: Fallon and Alerio

Alerio tipped Fallon off about police corruption, Alerio got kicked off the force but Fallon got a promotion
Connection: Fallon and Seally

It might be fun if one of the "celebrities" that Nezz rubbed shoulders with in 2nd term was Lady Seally of Llewyn. What kind of collaboration might they have gotten up to?

Fallon needed an in to a party in Ekilati Onati gang territory and convinced Seally to slum it with him. Her goal was to attract attention while Fallon dug into the dark corners for leads to his story.

Seally: Carouse 1
Fallon: Streetwise 1

Connection: Zuni and Alerio

Zuni was a scout when Alerio was a colonist. Maybe Zuni was involved in the Hellhole survey mission and the two had a caper of some kind during this time?
Connection: Fallon and Zuni

Zuni met Fallon when she was covering the diplomatic training course and was instantly drawn to her independent and rebellious nature. He found her attractive and asked her to dinner. From there, things took a romantic turn and they spent the next several days together getting to "know" each other.

They could've had a short relationship when Fallon first got his newspaper job. Snuck around during the getting-to-know-you days since fraternizing was frowned upon by Zuni's bosses as it was uncool for a diplomat to behave that way.

Fallon: unknown
Zuni: Stealth 1

@Nezzeraj is this ok? I made some presumptions.

Yeah sounds good!

I'm thinking for Fallon and Zuni, I could pick up a +1 to stealth because we snuck around during the getting-to-know-you days since fraternizing was frowned upon by Zuni's bosses as it was uncool for a diplomat to behave that way.

So for connections:

With Nezz’s character: maybe he pushed me to try dig up some more concrete dirt. Something the papers could print.

Possible skills: Investigate 1, Recon 1, Stealth 1.

Sneaking around. Trying to get something solid and it led to me getting caught out.

For Windy’s:

I’m thinking that the planet was still in the process of being pacified when the Scouts showed up.

Skills: Animals 1, Gun Combat 1, Admin 1, Broker 1, Leadership 1.

Something that would reflect my character showing you around a planet taking shape. And my role in that community as a result of me being the contact that dealt with the Scouts.

(I am aiming to get Gun Combat from somewhere :D)
