The idea that's been running through my head is a rough and tumble kid from a rural area who won a district contest to be sent and is supposed to be making money and connections so if a place where people can be transplanted from the failing Earth, he can help his neighbors. He's also the wrong choice since he wants to have fun more than anything else. He won the competition because they had the physical challenges first and he intimidated the smarter kids so much that they didn't do as well as they should have on the mental tasks (and other than Àrsaidh knowledge he's not an idiot but not at all an expert.) He does know how to work as a team member, mostly from sports, and he's very good at people management(and intimidation.)

I'm not sure where he's from, but maybe from a cosmopolitan and racially mixed part of South Asia.

Here's a first pass at numbers. I have little sense of what's good in the system (the preview rules have just about none of the DMs except for stats and skills):
Str 14
Dex 8
Con 10
Wil 10
Int 8
Cha 10

Arsaidh Tech -5
Close Combat 10
Manipulation 9
Medical Aid 4
Perception 8
Pilot 3
Ranged Combat 8
Resolve 5
Science 2
Stealth 8
Survival 8
Technology 5

70

Talent: Charismatic: You have Advantage on all Manipulation checks.

Background: Petty Criminal
Small robberies and hussles got you day to day. You made some enemies, the kind
that can’t be simply paid off, and you had to get as far from them as possible.
Choose between +1 Manipulation or +1 Close Combat. (probably Close Combat with that Talent, assuming Advantage works like 5e.)

Yes, Advantage in ATDW enables you to roll two d20 and take the better of the rolls.

I think the closest drive to what I'm thinking is :
A Place To Belong To
You’ve been alone (or at least, felt that way) for your whole life, and
you’re sick of it. You want to find a cause larger than yourself, a place you
can call home, and a family that will risk their lives for you. You are sure
that the type of bonds one creates in the void are forever, and that is all
you want.

(Looking for found family he can protect and feel safe with as well as a home for his people back on Earth.)

Life changing event (13) Someone died to save your life.

Dimitri had a friend who he thought of as his little brother (though he was actually slightly older). Ruhal Singh was brains where Dimitri was the brawn. It was together they hatched the idea to win the regional competition to get off Earth and into exploring. It was Ruhal who understood something about the Arsaidh and anything Dimitri understands about technology, Ruhal had a hand in. During their prep for the competition, a rival group of toughs set upon them and, while Dimitri handled most of them to protect Ruhal one got around his sightlines and was going to attack him from behind. Ruhal attacked the other young man with his kirpan and took him down, but not without taking a fatal wound himself. After the fight, while Dimitri tried to save him he made Dimitri promise not to lose and to never give up.

I put the character in My Library. I don't know how to add it to the game (or if I have to).

Yes, you have to add it to the game.

Go to the Game Details page. Scroll down until you get to the list of players. On the right hand side there should be a Submit Character button.

Thanks. Still learning how to navigate the site. Should be submitted. It's odd that there's no way to go directly from the game forum to the game details page (or is there and I missed it.)

No problem. The link to the Game Details page is in the bottom nav on the right when you're in the forum, at least it is on a computer. I don't recall if it's there on phones.

One more thought. I think Dimitri would have kept Ruhal's kirpan (the traditional knife carried by Sikhs as a symbol that they're to defend others). It's probably less effective than the combat knife we're issued but he'd have a second knife. He's not a religious guy but he respected his friend's religious beliefs. Would that be OK (given that Dimitri has basically no money :0)

Bullseyepsa

Feb 21, 2025 5:24 am

And one more thing. The skill from background would be Close Combat, since we already have a player focused on Manipulation (Dimitri has enough to cover being very intimidating.)

ForeverDED

Security would've stripped Dimitri of the kirpan and any other weapons before boarding the shuttle to come here. He could sell it for 50 Drake Coins back on Earth.

Bullseyepsa

In that case, he probably would have give in to someone to keep safe rather than sell it. I think the character is ready for review.

OOC:

Kirpans are a religious symbol and most of them now are just a handle and a sheath with a little nub no actual blade.

ForeverDED

If it's just a nub, then security wouldn't mind. Anything more than an inch (2.54 cm) and they'd ban it.
