Brett, I can cope with it as it is. I like yours more that mine, given that he works for me in regards to the setting. The nearest I can get to earnest, driven and yet compassionate is the visiting NASA technical specialist in The Dish. Does that work, or does he need to be more, um, circumspect and pleasantly silent?

Second attempt at character assignment
Cast List Suggestion #2
Dramatis Personae
It's a strong line-up which gives Luke Bunyip and jmurrell closer to what they wanted, at the expense of martinl having to give up a pretty cool dean of Survey.

Re: [OOC] The Starship 'Fritjof Nansen'
The more I think about it the less I like giving you none of your characters the way you pitched them and chucking a newbie in at the deep end with an Imperial Office four-striper. Assignment #2 gives you two characters the way you pitched them and one with editorial wee in it: rather than one as you pitched it and two that have been hacked about. Also, it lets the newbie at the Big Table play a colonial where lack of familiarity with the setting is least burdensome.
We'll just have to see what we can do to help martinl tart up his Ambassador and social dynamist.

Re: [OOC] The Starship 'Fritjof Nansen'
Roger. And this works for me, in that I get to play basically the characters I envisaged. I'll just need to read the setting info...

Re: [OOC] The Starship 'Fritjof Nansen'
I'm happy with either option. Drolgant is closer to PCs I've played before than Wukitelamy, but I'm not sure I like him more, and I can always graft the fun stare you in the eyes pacifism sideways onto another PC. The fanfic-writing Todos Santos Goon is more of a loss, and he's an even trade for Haroldsson.
If option 2 is better for the other PCs, then it is fine with me. |

Similarly, Imperial membership will almost certainly have some negative effects on the colony. The other big table folks will probably assume that these are more than compensated for by the benefits, but that won't always be true. I recommend the the MILINT guy be the 'Imperial-Colonial negative synergy guy.' It fits the twisty MI mindset. It gives the GM a vehicle to throw monkey wrenches at the PCs, and the player an opportunity to engage in vigorous debate from an intellectual high ground with the more narrowly focused types. |

Re: [OOC] The Starship 'Fritjof Nansen'
Does Lt-Cmdr. Tomiko Eichberger predate the Imperial Creche, Praetorians, and all the other "Benevolent Nazi Bioroid"[1] stuff that happens to later imperial descendents?
[1] "Benevolent Nazi Bioroid" is not strictly accurate, but a vibe is a vibe. |
