Ok, I submitted a character. Let me know what I got wrong or forgot.

Also, will my character have any recollection of what happened before it awakened? I get that two other personalities inhabited this body before.

First things my earlier comment about you picking up the "schizophrenic transforming Autoborg Comms officer" was more a joke about how the role keeps changing players. You do not have to play it that way. Of course if you want to I see not reason not to spin it as such. The crystal infection could have triggered a latent personality/identity within the officer. Up to you.

On your character : Pick a weapon group proficiency (assuming it is light ranged) weapon mastery, and add another weapon besides the one from your trait.
Other than that is there any xenotech or high end gear you would like? We can just make it a regeneration matrix that flushes your system with nanites and reconstructs your body/mind any time you die (like doctor who). Or something else.

About the memory : Everyone's long term memory from before the trip began is nearly fully restored but you all still have trouble with recalling facts before you awoke 10/03. You are free to read up and "remember" the comms officers latest exploits or just ignore it and start from scratch. up to your preference.

Yeah, after a few read throughs of the situation, that's what I thought. :)

Done.

Have to think a bit more on that one. I'll have an answer at some point today/tonight.

I can't think of/find anything, so you may as well go with that. It would be a solid in-game explanation for why the autoborg keeps rebooting with different personalities.

Also, I can't find anything before TSO 3. The link in the first post there gives me a 404. So, I'm really lost just like my rebooted character. :\

History didn't get it's permissions set. Sorry. Everyone should be able to view it now

That link just brings me to the Forums main page (gamersplane.com/forums/) despite the link saying to go to 11315 (gamersplane.com/forums/11315/).

I think that second option would probably be the least disruptive. I guess I should make a post in TSO 3 now.

@Dracostern We have 2 players that left the game, leaving their characters, Sam and Krom. You can take over one of them as is, take their role and build them as you desire, or create a new character that I will pull into the story.

The simplest would be to take one as is is and join the story. If at some point later on you want to redesign them or create a whole new one that will not be a problem but will have to be discussed at that point.

Thanks! They both actually look quite interesting!

I do kind of want to try making a new character though so I can learn the ropes. I assume you have a character creation guide already?

People actually started below the systems standard stating stage (see HERE ) but things have progressed so here are the current steps.

What does Tactical do??

Also I am new so I'm not sure how to make a character sheet? Like do I need a specific format/command?

I am trying to get each player with a shipboard role and associated trait.
Helm: The Helm can reroll one failed Evade Test per round.
Communications: The Communications can reroll one failed Sensors system roll per round.
Doctor: When in their medbay, the Doctor always helps to heal 1 extra Hit Point on a successful Healing Test.
Engineer: When in their Engineering Bay, the Engineer can forfeit both their actions to bring a disabled system back online or restore 1 Structure to the Starship (no test required).
Tactical: When making an attack with a Weapons system, Tactical may forfeit one action on their turn to increase damage dealt by 1.
Unofficial optional expanded roles lists

Navigator : (Course Correction): The Navigator can forfeit one action to reroll a failed test related to the Movement system or increase the ship's Speed by 1 for the round.
Security Chief : (Security Measures): The Security Chief can either use one action to to grant any crew members they are in communication with advantage to evade 1 for the rest of the round or force any boarding force disadvantage to bypass any ship security measures they attempt to bypass that round.
Science Officer (Scientific Insight): The Science Officer can reroll one failed test involving data analysis, identifying anomalies, or clarify strange sensor data.
Weapons Officer (Target Lock): Once per round, the Weapons Officer can reroll a failed attack roll using the ship's Weapons system.
Quartermaster (Resource Management): The Quartermaster can test to optimize the use ship’s supplies (e.g., fuel, food, or ammo), immediately extending the effectiveness for 1 addition time without costing any additional resources.

There is a character sheet HERE, with added details how to use it

Thank you! I will hopefully be able to build something tonight!
