Character Creation

Awesome! The group is looking good so far.

@LexiconDevil72 Be sure to add the stats and saves bonuses you get from your class. Also, I have an NPC that could work as your PCs sister but let me know if you had specific ideas for that character.

@Dmbrainiac Let me know if you have any questions or need clarification about anything. Android are a lot more open ended as far as details on how they function and their capabilities (i.e. if they need to breath air or not, etc) and you can decide a lot of them based on how you want your character.

@Redcroc Bump on this!
I imagine this will mostly be in the background, but I'm wondering how much narrative freedom I have in this area!

@testlum You have a lot! The module is pretty self contained so the rest of the galaxy is mostly undefined outside of a few aspects. If you tell me what you were thinking for theTarabasii, I will see if they could be tied into the module or left more as background info. Either way, Geneva will have an opportunity to advance her goal of research funding through the adventure.

@akkarin Do you think James is working for station security? Or is he on vacation inbetween contracts? Do you think he would want to join up with the Blackshield Mercenary Company? Or does he have secrer dreams of being a hero?

I'm happy to leave most of it in the air (or for you to flesh out!), but the main details I had in mind are:

1. They're an extinct species and culture.

2. The art is etched as murals on walls, but physical contact conveys much deeper meaning.

3. Geneva has only ever read of and seen pictures of Tarabasii works.

Well, for some reason he has a goddamn flamethrower, so either mercenary or security, I suppose.

You decide not to go with the combat shotgun instead? If you want to switch to loadout #2 that includes a shotgun, I'll let you do that. You can also still roll for credits and buy things piecemeal if you want

That will actually fit perfectly with the module!

Thanks for the heads up. And as far as that character goes, I'm open to whatever you want to do with her.

Sorry, this week has been a lot busier than expected. I’ll try to finish my character tomorrow if I can.

Building security guard with a flamethrower is a hilarious concept.

Almost everything with a flamethrower is quite hilarious, except for average polar explorers, apparently.
Yes, I'll stick to flamethrower. I don't really like it thematically, but it seems to be the second-best weapon in the game, all the others are much worse. James is just a casual flamethrower user, nevermind him, it SPARKS his character.

You could always frame it as you nabbing someone else's flamethrower in the armory rather than it being your standard kit.

I mean you can think about the reasons why space station security may require flamethrowers.. it is heavily lore-dependent, I'd say

or it can be a one-and-only duty security flamethrower from the "use only during necro-morph invasion" case

From the module blurb, it does sound like there is something nasty in the basement

Maybe James was drinking a bit too much and got overly excited about "chesnuts roasting on an open fire"

Ok, so it's not part of his normal gear - he only brought it for the christmas party? Sounds like one hell of a party.

I've submitted my character. All the stats and gear should be good, please double check. I still have to come up with a motive and personality for her, though. I took hacking for my expert skill. I figure it might come in handy!

Everything looks good to me!

Yay! I'll finish up the character details tomorrow morning when I have a bit more time.
