Re: [OCC]: Space Merchant
Made a few changes in the character post...
Removed Squeamish and Post combat shakes, and compensated by changing Legless to Quadriplegic, so all his limbs have been replaced. Also added the Smuggling skill, and changed Area Knowledge from (human trade routes) to (Human Space) I could go darker and replace pacifism with Greed, or lighter and switch it to Charitable... If you feel Pacifism Self Defense isn't the best choice for the game... I have been going back and forth on whether I want him greedy... Last edited by the_matrix_walker; 05-30-2013 at 06:28 PM. |

Re: [OCC]: Space Merchant
Self Defense is fine, Its just an odd choice in conjunction with intimidate.

Re: [OCC]: Space Merchant
Threats don't have to be physical though:
"I'll sue.." "I'll make you so despised..." "You'll never find another job.."

And the non-fright check version of Squeamish is kind of cool. I need to do a bit of character story to get the fine points... I'll do that soon. You mentioned Mafia before... Is there an organized crime group? Does it use Rank? What do you think of an Obsession to establish the aforementioned "Human Trade Routes"? As I said, he's still a working copy, not a final submission... but I did want you to know where I was "at" Last edited by the_matrix_walker; 05-30-2013 at 06:58 PM. |

Going this route, I'd probably rearrange events so that he spent a couple of years hiding in the swamp/forest of this Lichanen world before being captured (and swap gunship for a normal fighter, and crew members for other captives). |

Re: [OCC]: Space Merchant
Thanks. I can't wait to hear the thrilling story of how he lost his limbs!
On another note, I'm building the first couple of worlds, and drawing up your remaining crew mates. the Owner and Captain is Robert Jackson, who has a rich and varied history as a star ship captain, and is famous for his involvement in scouting prospective colony worlds. His wife died recently, and he appears to be trying to leave his memories of her behind on the planet. He is fond of antique computers and software, and a fairly savvy investor. While born before earth's destruction, he has never put foot on it and grew up aboard artificial habitats. Hezakiah Horsepool is a bio and materials engineer, specializing in the creation (growing) of diamonoid materials suspended in water. He is just off of an apprenticeship, and while willing to leave the planet, perhaps forever, seems a little reckless. Part of your cargo includes many biological specimens, some engineered, and some just rare specimens from earth, and some unique alien species.

No trait-significant side effects/irreversible results of the stuff they do? (There's some cool stuff in Bio-Tech, just saying :P) - Gonna start reworking Ezra now. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm gonna assume his fingers were taken off to be replaced with tentacle-fingers, which were later replaced with bionic fingers. |
