Character creation

1 Choose a style for your character: Alien, Android, Dangerous, Heroic, Hot-Shot, Intrepid, or Savvy.

2 Choose a role for your character: Doctor, Envoy, Engineer, Explorer, Pilot, Scientist, or Soldier.

3 Choose your number, from 2 to 5. A high number means you’re better at LASERS (technology; science; cold rationality; calm, precise action). A low number means you’re better at FEELINGS (intuition; diplomacy; seduction; wild, passionate action).

4 Give your character a cool space adventure name. Like Sparks McGee or something.

You have: a Consortium uniform (with built-in vacc-suit for space walks), a super-sweet space-phone-camera-communicator-scanner thing (with universal translator), a variable-beam phase pistol (set to stun, usually).

Player goal: Get your character involved in crazy space adventures and try to make the best of them.

Character goal: Choose one or create your own: Become Captain, Meet New Aliens, Shoot Bad Guys, Find New Worlds, Solve Weird Space Mysteries, Prove Yourself, or Keep Being Awesome (you have nothing to prove).

Thanks for adding a character, @zatatmando.

One quick question: what does 'Laser Feelings Bank: 3' mean on your sheet?

I think that was from the last game that I played, though I don't know why I banked it. I will remove it from the sheet. Sorry about that.

No worries! That's now approved.

Hi onceandfuture, thanks for the invitation!
Will we also discuss ship creation in this thread?

You're welcome! Yes, in due course we can use this thread. I'll leave the game open until the end of the week to see whether anyone else would like to join, and then we can get on.

Got it, looking forward to boldly go...

We might as well begin the process of creating the ship. Anyone else who joins before we begin can add their votes in due course.

First off, you need to select two strengths for the Raptor.

And one problem...

@onceandfuture, cool, I voted!

I also voted!

I voted!

Thanks, all. If we get another player, they may break the tied votes, otherwise we can roll for it. 👍

Although it looks like someone has only put in one vote in the strengths category. If that person would like to let us know their second, I can add that in.

Sorry that was me. i somehow missed that i had to pick two.

All good! Glad you could update that yourself. So the Raptor has a cloaking device, does it? Well well well...

Do you want to open up another poll to figure out the rest?

I'll wait until the end of week in case another player joins and breaks the tie.

We have one strength in place, a cloaking device, and just need to confirm the second. If it's a tie again, I'll roll for it.

Likewise for the problem (ignore my 'vote', I was just copy-pasting and it registered a vote)!
