Oh, I didn't check Criminal. Most of the backgrounds keep it to one side or the other. (On the other hand, having a background of Criminal for the new NPC now has me very worried. I don't want our new shuttle to blow up again or get stolen ...)

For example, if I took the standard array, I'd pick a background that accentuated the attribute I need and pump that 12 to a 14. If I accidentally got the +1 it goes to the 7. Then the rest go into skills. But that's just me, and I am trying to see what I am missing.

Plus, it could just be an aesthetic thing, too. Which is fine. While I am not a true min/max-er, I am very much guided by mechanics, and use them as a guideline when making a build. For example, I'm gonna try to start with skill-1s because that saves me a skill point later.

OOC:
My concept is a kind of law-agnostic trader who started out as a hired guard for usually legal jobs. And ended up being able to swing deals and worked their way into trading their own goods as opposed to guarding others, but never quite to owning their own ship.
They do have a code and morals, (sticking to a deal, avoiding collateral, not selling people out, etc) just not strictly being a lawful code.
In which case I may switch Talk and Trade to be more specialized in Trade.

I think that Slaine knows them from back in the day and they keep a little in touch, though details are minimum, due to respect of each other's career. Though the odd tip off when it wouldn't hurt anyoneay have happened here and there.

I guess the current crew would benefit more from Talk than (another) person with higher levels of Trade. Trade 0 means basic competence already, so it covers your concept. Either way, your call.

By the way, you can submit a regular character sheet for them, so I can approve it and it shows in the rolls section for you.

What's their name, so I can put them in the new thread? =)

If you want to, you can now withdraw Slaine from the game. Here is a backup copy of their sheet:
