What are the likely background planets/cultures for characters here? I don't want to accidentally be a mortal enemy of some of the other chars :P

And Skull, I believe he meant 55+5 by that. If it isn't written, then the whole number usually includes quirks in it.


That's what I thought but wanted to make sure.

Sixty negative points, in whatever size chunks you like. :)

Thanks,
What about equipment? Is all TL 9 equipment fair game or is there restrictions?

TL9 equipment is available in the core and border worlds. Paquin's in the border. Rim worlds have some TL 9 gear imported but usually can't make or maintain it. TL 10 items might appear as plot devices. I have Ultra-Tech and Bio-Tech if there's anything specific you want. Contragravity gear is available but only for vehicles, no antigrav belts.

Unless your wealth is Struggling or below let's not track gear down to the penny, we can assume you have the basic supplies to use your skills. Just list stuff over $300.

TL 9 starting wealth and equipment then?

What languages and CF's are there? or is it all generic 'Verse?

Everything at one G or zero G? From what little I recall the series pretty much had universal language, culture, and world gravity.

Well Rayna Esclamado is Filipina by name and complexion, but I don't know the 'Verse well enough to have a planet picked out. And I see her as having bounced around the spaceways for most of her life.

Non-mortal enemies can be fun to play though.;)

Yep. We're all one happy 'verse with everything in common. On the Rim you'll find settlements preserving some language or ethnic group but they'll have a few English-speakers to deal with strangers.

If none of these appeal feel free to make up a planet. There's a few dozen unnamed ones in the 'verse.

It's a minor detail, really, she's been travelling around for twenty years or so. Santo has the right sound to it though.
