Character Creation Rules & Discussion.

Jul 3, 2025 12:20 am

Welcome to the campaign! This is a low-power space adventure inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Trek, Star War and more—a wild mix of mercenaries, oddballs, and outcasts struggling to get by in a big, messy universe.

Prowlers and Paragon Guidebook

Your character should be a down-on-their-luck scoundrel—someone who’s scraping together credits doing dangerous, weird, or illegal jobs in the galactic fringe. You might be:
A bounty hunter who owes the wrong people money
A smuggler with a stolen ship and a bad reputation
A scavenger with a knack for finding (and stealing) rare tech
A mercenary running from a war they helped start
Or maybe something else that fits the vibe—be creative!

Think Han Solo, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Faye Valentine, Jayne Cobb, or even Drax. Cool, competent (usually), and full of baggage.

Character Details I Want to See
I’m looking for fleshed-out, story-rich characters, not just numbers. In your character submission, include:

Name & Species (Alien, Human, Android, Tentacle Beast—go wild)
Background – Who are you? What’s your story?
Homeworld – What’s it like? Where are you from?
Talents & Powers – What can you do well?
Crew Role – What job do you fill on the ship? (Pilot, Mechanic, Muscle, Face, Techie, Scientist, etc.)
Enemies or Bounties – Are you wanted? Who hates you and why?
Gear – Any signature item or weapon?
Personality – Sarcastic? Cold? Desperate? Loyal?
The more flavor, the better. This will help us build a crew with chemistry and drama from Day One.

The Ship
The party starts with a shared spaceship. We'll build it together in Ship & Space Rules. You’ll each have a say in what it’s like—old rustbucket or shiny stolen warship, up to you.

We will take some time and step by step work to build characters together.
