n.b. You had no effects from ageing, but lost 1 SAN due to traumas of kidnapping

Given the number of career failures, you are really, really due some luck!

Here's a pass at the Vargr:

And here are a few questions, observations, etc.

Childhood:

• What is your name?
• Gender?
• Home?
• Birthday
• Have I missed a luck and SAN roll?

Retirement:

• You have Blade and Weapon and Weapon...Will you be converting one of the Weapon benefits to a skill in usage of Blade or Weapon taken earlier?
• You have a benefit from your 1st term event. Would you consider a combat implant for Pilot Skill? or combat implant for +2 initiative?
  (The latter would tend to make you look a bit jumpy - and, should it ever get out, would lose you CHA.)

Other:

• You have accumulated a few cold-sleep days across your career and a small radiation exposure

Gah, I forgot about Luck and SAN.

Yes, one of the Weapon benefits will convert to a skill.

I thought the event gave a +1 to one benefit roll? That is how I used it....

Anyway, I think this Vargr would be against non-medical augments. Being Vargr is already pretty great, relying on gizmos is a bit low status. Human even

I'll read in to the district tom pick a homeworld, and make the day I finalise the character sheet the birthday.

[BackworldTraveller]

If anyone has images, equipment lists, etc, background histories, etc. they fancy working on, please feel free to append to the character notes thread.

n.b. the UFA has Tech 10 Vargr gear available in quantity and TL13 Human gear available too.
Some Vargr gear up to TL15 is available to those with the right connections - i.e. this is retirement/package benefit or in-play acquisition only.
Aslan gear is NOT available unless custom made.

Initial gear for Sazqelimqariepr (even clothing other than what he stands up in) is going to be tricky given lack of funds, lack of language and recent engagements. (He can understand the locals via Psionics means only - and projecting his thoughts will give away his status.)

Yeelau can have collected gear of any TL as she crossed the Imperium, but must be able to carry it in a bag and pay for it from her limited funds.

So far, the common thread between the characters is an "Outsider" or "Down on their luck" vibe. But this is the UFA in the 12th (Imperial) Century! Remember, anything is possible.

As to Local Local. You were in a Navy and the local one is the UFA. Talon, Augurgh, Rusafaks and Okhthalloe are good recruiting grounds - Fosfog and Fel have ships but they are rubbish by comparison. But any UFA world would fit.

Talon is only 20% vargr. Which may make a difference. The Souggvuez are weird guys from the Vargr perspective but cool.

No Scout - Personal Vehicle instead...and a follower to act as driver!
What type of gun combat: Laser or Slug or Archaic?

[Demilich]

Hm Laser Gun Combat

Ok Updated.

Your character seems to have been a consistent embarrassment to the house leaders - while you could act as hostess at House parties (your Steward skill) you seem to have avoided your right to a senior position in the House Navy and evaded your administrative and diplomatic duties. Perhaps her fleeing across the galaxy to avoid marriage should have been foreseen? Still at least you kept the family honour and stood your ground bravely when you were in battle.

Looking through the character to date, are you content that this is complete (so far), accurate and playable?

If so, the next step will be to create two colleague connections (which allow you to increase two skills by 1 point)...but we need all the player character to reach this stage before that can continue.

Haha fits my concept I had for the character Yes, I think she is ready to go, Thanks for the help along the way

She has a vehicle that is worth up to Cr300,000. Do you have the Mongoose V2 Vehicle handbook? If so, what would you like (send me specs)? If not what would you like (and I'll see what I can do for you)?

P.S. If you want it available on Talon, make sure it is within the law!

[The Bindoner]

Reviewing my character, I'm thinking of swapping Electronics/Comms for Electronics/Sensors. That was my first choice, I changed it because Sensors is the Rank 1 skill in Corsair/Pilot, but then I went Reaver first (to get a shot at Leadership).

I have a pdf of High Guard? Dont know what version that is?

High Guard exists at LBB version (1979 and 1981), Mongoose V1 and Mongoose v2!

Does it have a picture of a ship on the front cover? Yes = Mongoose V2.

But, High Guard isn't the vehicle handbook.

So - What type of vehicle do you want? Wheeled or Tracked ATV? Grav Flyer?
e.g. this is the sort of flyer you could afford...
Becker Adler Grav Car
...with 50k for luxury upgrades

[Demilich]

Maneuverable and for upgrades more defensive then offensive, make it faster if possible? dont have the vehicle book grav flyer

I'll have a go...may not get a draft design until Wednesday as my work is insisting I head to the office tomorrow!
