Character Generation

[BackworldTraveller]

As you are unanimous (a rate occurrence), I propose that we set up for crewing a Detached Duty Scout Ship.

i.e. 2xBridge Crew, 1xGunner, 1xEngineer

You can argue the toss as to who goes for which role.


Your home world is Regina (Spinward Marches 1910) or (if you are taking on another home world) one event in your career MUST be life event 9: Travel to Regina (SM1910).

So - Please let me know...what you pick from
Genetics: Imperial Human, Darrian Human, Gvegh Vargr, Darrian Aslan or Imperial Aslan or something else (with a good reason for being trusted as an imperial and in/on Regina).
Gender: Male or Female (unless something else, when the choice may be more complex)

Attributes
STR, DEX, END, INT, and EDU rolls. (5x3d6 pick the most appropriate 2d6 from each and order as you see fit)
SAN (1d6+6) n.b. I may rule that certain events may reduce that in addition to their normal effects.
If Vargr: CHA (1d6+2) otherwise SOC (2D6)

PSI can't be active until after childhood

Name
If you take a Darrian, pick a Darrian name using THIS tool
If Vargr then pick a Gvegh name from the same place
Otherwise, pick an Imperial Name from any modern language group or using the Anglic option in the tool.

Other
Traits and other Characteristics, Task DMs, Connections, etc will be assessed later (You'll get some of these just from being and some from your career). As will childhood education.

I'll consider using Clement Sector type Childhood Events, if requested. They aren't mandatory.

I'll be using use some T5 benefits where I feel that is appropriate - including (but not only) Medals & Commendations.

All characters will have Imperial Passports among their starting inventory.
Characters with SOC 8 or less will have free luggage containers totaling 0.1 dTons
Characters with SOC 9 or more will have free luggage containers totaling 1 dTon

WALTER BERN	Imperial Human, Male	Homeworld: Regina	Sanity: 7
Age: 18	Growing up on Regina with somewhat less advantage, Walt learned to deal with the bureaucratic paperwork early on, admissions and financial aid paperwork to get into University without having the “right” connections alone was quite a learning experience. Walt’s family and friends always thought he was a bit reckless (especially the way he drove and flew small craft that mostly were not his own), and really weren’t too surprised that he stuck with his obsession of going into exploration with the Scout Service.

He did get caught up in a student political group that wasn’t much more than a past time (failed SOC 8+ with a 4). Perhaps that took away from his studies a bit, or perhaps it was the typical carousing, but he did graduate, although not with honors. Nevertheless, he was confident that his preparation and study of Astrogation would get him into the Scouts.

With his Astrogation and Medic knowledge, Walt handily qualified for the Scout Service. So anxious was he to join the Explorers that he almost forgot to complete the paperwork. His physical training helped him survive, especially when his ship was an early arrival at a natural disaster to rescue the victims. He put his Medic education and knowledge to the test, and made a CONTACT with Law Enforcement during the course of the ensuing investigation. His work was recognized and he advanced to full Scout Rank (1), the service nearly insisting on his re-enrollment. His work with the rescue led to a commendation.

Walt's second term led him to work surveying an alien world. Dealing with the local species there further improved his Recon ability. Some of his recon failures, and those of his crewmates, gave him more practice with his Medic skills. After years of work with Starships and Highports he finally got the hand of the Communications equipment and protocols. Though it was a close call, he again advanced and gained a rank, and the Service was happy to take him on for another term. He could hardly resist, Senior Scout seemed within reach!

Walt's third term as an IISS Explorer was memorable for him. Jumping from planet to planet for years, he truly mastered his Astrogation, and gained skill piloting Small Craft. He made his promotion to Senior Scout and with it some SpaceShip training. Feeling the touch of Father Time, Walt even made room for some cardio and increased his endurance.

Walt handily survived his four term with IISS, and although he was recognized for performing an exemplary service for IISS, he equates the lack of danger to his survival with his first failure to increase in rank. The ease this term also led to him losing track of his recent fitness gains. Fortunately, although he did not advance, he was able to keep his chance to continue with IISS, should he so choose.

After twenty years with little harm, Walt's luck ran out in Term 7. After what Walt is convinced was a crash caused by sabotage, he was beaten to within an inch of his life by someone or something - Walt has no real recollection - but he claims many of his injuries weren't those typically suffered in a Hospital, physical and psychological rehab took the remainder of the term. IISS picked up half of the Cr25k tab, and graciously held off collecting the rest while he was on active duty (he *thinks* without interest). Being in one place for so long, and the notoriety of having survived it seems, led to his being located on a Bounty for what IISS considered his heroism years before. With nothing that he could recognize as due process, he found himself in prison.

Question

Entering Term 2, with a successful advancement roll at end of term 1, is a qualification roll required?

I see that a qualification roll is needed to change path within Scouts, but I’m not sure if that would be a second Qualification roll for term 2 (not that I’m planning to switch).

Thanks.

[Enoch]

My understanding (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!) is that you only need to qualify when you switch into a career, or (depending on the career) if you want to switch specialties inside a career. Otherwise, the only thing stopping you from taking another term is the Survival roll and random events. The flowchart on p. 10 is really helpful.

So on the flowchart you'd be at "Choose whether to continue Traveller creation" (just past "roll for advancement"). You'd choose Yes, increase your age by 4 yrs, then Start New Term. You don't need to qualify because it's not a new career, so you choose a skill table and roll, then test for survival for the 2nd term.

[Enoch]

So I got some pretty good rolls (a 12 and an 11). This character might be an excellent pilot, or a scientist (Scholar/Field Researcher) or comms expert. Heck, they could be a retired marine starting a second career.

Do we have any ideas what we intend to do after campaign start?

[ateno]

Im thinking a marine or other service that gained skill in gunnery during his hitch and moved the imperial service over to the scouts, depending how the dice roll.

Will try to get started soon, long days at the dialysis clinic.

Sounds good.
Walter has Astrogation-2 already, I'll try to keep him away from pilot on the tables. (Assuming Scout Explorer doesn't end with a terrible mishap!).

[Enoch]

I think Pilot is a natural complement to Astrogation. I'm leaning toward a Scholar at this point, but depending on rolls, perhaps we met in University. I'm thinking a brilliant scholar who ends up abandoning lab work for field research, and is happy to have a friend in the Scout Service to let his hitch a ride to explore brave new worlds...

BTW, what did you do to get that great table? Use the code block and build an HTML table?

[Ythgar]

OK, I'll try for some pilot then.
First term I did get a contact for helping rescue victims of a disaster, if anyone likes that hook as a connection.

Thanks re: table. I just put it together manually to help re-teach me how to use the bbcode.
Let me see if I can paste the code here. The spoiler below should be the code for the last block of "Scouts, term 2".

I've been through the above and...

• No - you don't need to re-enlist if staying in the Scouts unless changing branches.
• Childhood:
  • The SAN roll should have been 1d+6 not 1d so your SAN should be 7 not 1 (my mistake)
  • You haven't given your character a Gender. I'm guessing Male.
  • You gain Language(Galanglic)+2 as your native tongue
  • You have a Ally (Family/Bern Family) on which you can draw.
• Term 1:
  • The Event gives you an Ally (student politician) and Enemy (any) regardless of whether you become a leader. We'll need to talk about politics offline too!
  • Should be +3 EDU in total. I think you missed the graduation bonus is +2 not +1
  • You gain the award of a B.Sc. from the University of Regina Department of Space Sciences on graduation
• Term 2:
  • You appear to be missing the skill you get before making the survival roll but after training
  • From your Rescue gain Contact (Law Enforcement) due to the subsequent investigation, rather than the anonymous one noted.
  • You gain the award of a Commendation (Citation TBC - I'll need to work out what year this is for) from the scout service as a result of the rescue

But it was his sanity of 1 that drove him to be an Explorer with IISS!

It seems to be working out, so far . . .
I made the corrections you pointed out and the one cascade effect they had (a rank in second term with Scouts that had been missed by one with a lower EDU!).
Thanks very much.

I've just finished the 3rd term (including university), and am considering having this strange researcher getting picked up by Imperial Intelligence and given rudimentary tradecraft training.

I'm about to start Term 4 overall, and wondering if we want to get into anagathics?

House Rule: Imperial Anagathic on Regina use gets you...
1) Addiction(Anagathics)
2) Ageing DM: +1
3) 1d+6 * Cr5000 of Medical Debt.
That's an average of Cr47500 per term of use. It quickly uses up the character's cash!

Ceasing taking Anagathics gets...
SAN: -1
Immediate Additional Aging Roll
The SAN loss is repairable for Cr5000 in Psychologist's Fees
