OK - Next step is to pick 3 childhood skills and pick a career


Also, you can't change career for 1st 3 terms (you can change branch)
Options are:-
n.b. you get +6 to enlist!

• Spacer (Engineer or Crew)
• Space Officer (Shipmaster or Navigator)
• Military (Support)
• Military Officer (Executive)
• Management (Corporate, Clan Aide or Governess)
• Ceremonial (Clan Agent or Priestess)

Or (at no bonus)

• Outlaw
• Scientist
• Outcast
• Drifter

OK - For term 1 Survival on [2d6], Event [2d6] (or mishap on [1d6] if survival isn't made) and Advancement [2d6]

Still need your 3 childhood skills!

You get all the below at level 0
Steward
Pilot
mechanic
Athletics
Electronics
Engineering

I'd assume your Service skill would be in the Engineering specialism table [1d6]

p.s. Yeenau includes an N...not a Trokh letter. Could you be Yeelau instead?

OK - Definitely need skill choices for

Childhood (3 skills at nil)
Term One term Skill
Term 1 Event Skill (Survival, Streetwise, one of the life sciences or Psychology or Language(Any))
Term 1 Promotion Skill
Term 2 term Skill
Term 2 Promotion Skill
Term 3 term Skill
Term 3 Promotion Skill

You are now a Veteran Space Hand and better educated than you were
You have survived two major combats (what and where will be determined by the final date - but probably the Ihatei invasion of the Imperium)
Need to choose Brave or Cowardly. If brave, 10+ to avoid injury; if cowardly, 11+ to avoid losing SOC.

With your SOC, hiding out in the ranks is an odd choice. There would be clan pressure for you to step into a proper job (i.e. Marriage)...Maybe the time to go "Drifter" or "Merchant" or "Dilettante" in imperial space?

If so, you get 5 benefit rolls from your 3 terms

n.b. I'd recommend you do no more than 2 more terms in imperial roles lest you fall into the Aslan's nasty aging cycle.

Ah.

Animals is good. Electronics is one of the skills that you get at level 0 as part of basic training as a spacer. That would be wasted. Streetwise is good. Childhood skills (indeed all skills) are listed here

since we have an Aslan ( and a Vargr pilot ) already, i'll make the group truly strange and go with the kidnapped Zhodani, making him the speech writer of the expedition ( entertainer ) - it'll make for some interesting encounters along the way - plus that PSI roll!

Zhodani (as you probably know) are complex - but this one would be a noble and something of a witch...and very out of place. I'd recommend ANTS as a homeworld. Everyone will be seeking to ransom you back to the consulate or hand you back
Your penultimate term must include a career ending Mishap: Kidnapped. Roll 8+ on Melee, Gun Combat or Stealth to avoid Injury. It must be a zhodani career that would plausibly get you to an embassy.
Your final term will be: Kidnap Victim. Training: one skill from Service Skill list at 0. Service Skill: Roll 1d6 for Deception or Science(Psychology) or Athletics(Any) or Art(Performance) or Melee(Unarmed) or Stealth. Event: Escaped. Gain a Contact and an Enemy. Roll 8+ on Deception to avoid rolling on the injury table.
You get Melee(Unarmed) as a rank-skill and may roll for promotion (END:5+) for a prison skill from Inmate, Personal or Service per page 54
Neither of the last two terms gets a term or promotion benefit, but both count for ageing.

: : do you want me to roll on ALL the psi abilities? if so, here's the order i'll go with - telepathy +6, machine symbiosis 0, clairvoyance +3, awareness 0, telekinesis 0, mimic -5, blocking -6, teleprojection -8, teleportation -6, psychic transfer -8, empathic healing -9, healing -11


term 1 - entertainer
St8 Dx10 +1 En5 -1 In6 Ed9 +1 So10 +1 Ps12 +2 / / San7 Lck9 +1

qualified, didn't survive - The character is tormented by or quarrels with another Entertainer. If Soc 10+, the character is forced out of the career
and gains that Entertainer as a Rival. If Soc 9−, roll on the Re-education Event table (page 7). event - The character becomes a part of the celebrity circles on his world of residence. Gain one level of Carouse, Persuade, or Steward.

OK - Taken the above and updated the char sheet as far as I can.
Engineering skill can be taken as Power, Manoeuvre-Drive (i.e. Gravitics), Jump Drive or Life Support.
You can allocate as a speciality in one or have a spread across two specialities, Please pick one (or two)

Cash can be taken 3 times only, so Cr22,0000 and I've given you a Weapon benefit instead. A Gauss Rifle captured from a dishonourable Imperial Marine that tried to shoot you?

Still missing one promotion skill roll at level 1 and one (childhood one) at level 0.

Term 1 Event Skill (Survival, Streetwise, one of the life sciences or Psychology or Language(Any)) not yet selected

I rolled for the potential injuries from your battles. No injury (11 rolled) from the first. There was an injury from the second and you escaped lightly with a minor laser burn (see char sheer characteristics) and no permanent disfigurement.

n.b. During your period in the Navy, your Sire has been promoted to govern clan holdings across a whole subsector!

Have you made a decision on what you want to do for your next career? You are still in Aslan space, or at best the rimward Spinward-Marches.

And he's working on a character who may be Vargr or Human.
