Could someone perhaps share a completed character sheet as an example? Just so I know how this should look when it's all done

EDIT:[ +- ] What you said
WHOOPS -- that was Remnant's character.
Heya Remnant --
Here's some stuff I spotted. I'm posting it here so others can take advantage of it in case they're having any similar concerns or issues.
1. i see you have picked medium armor. your practiced in armor eliminates the might cost, but you'll take a -1 to your speed pool while you wear it. have you noted that down?
2. it doesn't look like you picked your 2 fighting moves? I see muscles of iron but that's just one.
3. you should be specialized in climbing, swimming and jumping (training from Rugged, and specialized from Hunts with Great Skill)
4. I don't see your training in training, riding or placating natural animals?
5. I don't see your training in identifying or using natural plants?
6. rugged grants an explorer pack, but since glaive does too you pick up 50' extra rope (to 100), 2 more days worth of rations and an extra ranged weapon if you like.
7. your inability should be around social graces (rugged) and not what you have (perhaps you changed your descriptor?)
8. I don't see where you get training in might defense and intellect defense -- is that left over from some other descriptor or focus?
9. lastly your stat pools seem too high to me. I think you should have a total of 34, but you have 38. again this may be due to a descriptor change that gave you +4 to a pool?

Apart from Connections, oddity, and cyphers I'm ready to go I think. Link to completed character sheet

Currently toying with the idea of going with a Strong Willed Glaive that Controls Gravity though if we have enough Glaives I can switch to a different type

Hey everyone,
I've been mulling over my character concept and I just think it is too serious and is not going to be fun to play (for me or for everyone else). Mind if I change it?
Shestendeliath, an Aggressive Glaive who Absorbs Energy.
Shestendeliath is the result of a science experiment, an attempt to resurrect a dead God. Evil cultists grew him in a lab from the DNA of an massive, ancient spear, fully grown. The Blacktusks defeated these cultists on one such mission and awoke Shestendeliath. He has earned his place among them, and now wields that spear at their side.
In Shestendeliath's mind, he is a God reborn from a distant age, but his memories of that time are fleeting. Although his new vessel is far weaker than his past form, he is overconfident, prone to act before thinking, and never one to turn down a challenge. On the other hand, he is a joyous and loyal companion who comes truly alive when in the thick of action. Secretly, he hides self-doubt behind bravdo, not really sure of his place in the world.
If that jives okay with your game, falryx, I'll go ahead and submit that character sheet.

Changed it part way through my background write up due to not having a good reason to be a nano. Did some thinking and found a way to change the story and have it work.

CO2 is usable. Glints and Seekers are permitted.
Len: that concept will work fine. Religion is a weird beast in the Ninth World. There isn't any really defined or unifying religious principle. The closest they get are the Aeon Priests who have used the trapping of religion to advance what is really a secular/knowledge-driven objective. Most people will -- if pushed -- decide Shest (abbreviating) is either crazy, controlled in part by numenera, or a denizen of a prior world (and therefore to be feared, adored, hunted, abused, etc.) depending on how overt he is about his feelings/past.
I may be able to even do a little bit of tweaking with Gods of the Fall if this is a thing you want to play with more. But, given the Ninth World, the differentiation between a god and a suitably advanced bit of technology is somewhat of a matter of philosophy rather than actual power. :)
Does that make sense?

Definitely, falryx. Just to clarify, I have no expectation that my character is indeed a God. The cultists might have thought so, and now Shestendliath thinks so, but I leave it up to you what actually happened. Is Shess an AI downloaded into a human shell? A reincarnation of a powerful mortal from long ago? A genetic experiment? If we get to explore his origins in the campaign, great. If not, that's entirely cool too. He'll just keep on thinking if himself as a God reborn into a frail human shell. And who knows? With enough great deeds to his name, maybe one day far from now, people we actually start to worship in the name of Shestendliath. A high tiered numenera character is entirely godlike anyhow.

Submitted OOLIN, a Mechanical Jack who Fuses Mind and Machine (a cobbled jumble). The old "engineered assassin/saboteur, escaped and has amnesia" trope. I played this character before so I hope I've correctly reset the stats to factory default.

Jabes:
Oolin looks good. Though I'd clarify with Charm, Persuasion and Deception that this is an INability (e.g. difficulty increased one step).

Phil -- double-checked, have you updated your character?
Phil:
Here's stuff I noted for Gaz:
1. clever: your intellect pool should be 15 or you have 2 more points to spend on might or speed (you start with 30 points in your pool and can spend 6 how you like for 36. but clever gives you another 2 so you should have a total pool of 38).
2. make sure to record your inability somewhere (the difficulty of any task involving lore, knowledge or understanding is increased by one step)
3. you also only picked one trick of the trade (trained without armor) rather than 2. unless i miss something. :)
4. you should note your Eyed Adjusted on your sheet (see in extremely dim light as though it were bright light, can see in total darkness as if it were extremely dim)
otherwise, i think Gaz looks good.

Len:
Generally good - couple items:
1. you should note your inability somewhere. it can help me. :)
2. you should use the circle next to your skills (initiative tasks and jumping) to be 'T' rather than blank (this means trained)
Otherwise, I think this looks good!

Quick status update:
- Still waiting on characters for DM_Apexwolf and TGR.
- some minor fixes on a couple character still
Once we're done, we can start working through connections / etc. We can also flesh out the Blacktusks some.
