So far we have
Shayuri - Pilot
Voda Vosa - Techie
Mithar - Weapons spec.
Rhun - Jack of all trades?

Rhun. You won't be needing drive skill as there are actually no ground wehicles in Unity. The background is a good start.

Good to know...I had meant to ask you about that. I almost took swim too, but realized it probably wouldn't be of much use.

I designed Damon to be the pilot, but if Shayuri wants that role, I will reassign a few skill points and pic another feat over Starship Operations. Then he can serve as a back up pilot if necessary...

I'd love to play but I have no idea how the mechanics of d20 future works nor where to start with character builds. I suppose if someone held my hand throughout or even made it for me, and I just tell you what my modifiers were, it wouldn't be too much of a problem. And I'm sure I'd pick it up after a while too.

[Raylis]

if there's any room I'd like to toss my hat into the ring as a rough and tumble medic. "Yes, I'm a doctor; but that just means I know where to shoot you to make it really hurt."

Talents:
Savant (Repair)

Equipment:               


Age: 25
Height: 1,7 m.
Weight: 70 kg.
Eyes: Black
Hair: Bold
Skin: withe

Appearance:
Cnosos is bold, with lock beard, of a deep black color. For a Greek, his skin is particularly withe, because of all the time he spends working with his machines. His eyes are black, and penetrating. He is usually introspective, and do not say much in a conversation. Cnosos thinks that is better to stay silent that say unnecessary things. He is not tall at all, and is not particularly tough build, but is quite agile for a guy that spends most of his time seated down in a workbench.

Background

When Cnosos whas about 13 years old, just a kid, his entire world perishes under the heavy mace of war. But for the first time in history, it wasn't a human war... For the first time, he and his specie wasn't to be blamed. Cnosos mother was a skilled technician, and Cnosos was more like her than like his father, who died in his home planet. In their new home, the Unity colony, the young man found in machines the perfect place to scape his current situation, spending hours and hours seated in front of his workbench, without sleeping. With his immune system depressed, Cnosos contracted an alien disease, mortal for them, but not so for humans: After month of treatment, he was lucky to lose just his head hair.
His skills in repairs and crafting components took renown, and soon enough he was claimed from here to there. He went over many companies, from manufacturing mining devices, disabling mining mines, and repairing the enormous mining droids (is there droids?) to repairing ships, empowering their engines and weaponry.
That way, shifting employments, he gets to know many people, even if he wants to or not. As time passed, he made some real friends, with who he shares booze and tales in the local tavern.

Just need to finish the equipment I think ^^ Anyway, could you check the sheet? I think its ok, but I usually make mistakes.

[Mithran]

Character so far. How should we roll for Wealth?

Spoiler:

Faris Namir

Background: Faris was always a thoughtful child. Instead of mourning for the lost Earth, he took a lesson from it- humans could not afford to be powerless. He believed this was true not only in the large scale, but on the personal as well. This lead directly to his application to join the Unity security force in order to gain combat training, and protect his portion of the human race. After standard testing determined his eligibility, this application was quickly accepted.

As time went on, Faris's skill lead him to be used for more dangerous missions. Increasingly often, he was assigned to possibly volatile missions involving smugglers of various sorts. Feeling that protecting the Unity government's tax profits was neither a well-paying job, or a worthwhile one, he chose to resign.

After working odd jobs for a few years, Faris learned of a privateer opportunity through childhood friends, and jumped at the chance.

Description: At 5'7" and 130 pounds, Faris is wiry, and clearly of middle-eastern descent. His black hair is kept cropped close to his head, and he sports a goatee and fledgling beard. He tends to wear the most plain, functional clothing available.

Bahaha...with some changes, but yeah... I hate to just let a fun concept die.

I'm with you...I can't count the number of times I've reused characters from games that hardly got started.

[Blackrat]

Ethandrew. I think I'd prefer a group who already knows the mechanics. I'll keep you in mind if we ever need a backup-player.

Raylis. You're in.

You may roll the wealth yourself. I'll be doing most of the rolling during game though. For Vitality Points use average.

You'll get a Universal communicator and ID-chip for free. Your ship will also be equipped with space suits for all of you.
You will all have your private accounts but you will also have a joint account where your trading/rading profits will be deposited. Currently this account has a wealth 10.

Voda Vosa. Yes, there are mining droids.

Currently the characters seem good. I'll check them again with better time later today.

[ethandrew]

By all means, I'll keep an eye on this story though, knowing a lot of the players, I can tell this'll be a good one.

I will work on getting my character completed over the next couple of days. I plan on making a few adjustments to him. He will serve as co-pilot for the ship, and hopefully get to see some combat in some boarding action. Because you can't gain wealth if you don't board the ships you attack!

Personal File

Michael James Cain was 11 years old when the earth was destroyed. A stoic youth, he watched it with only passing interest and resumed his studying while people gasped and paniced around him. A prodigy, Michael had a disdain for those he thought inferior and only entered medical training (at the age of 15) because his parents forced him to (they hoped that if he became a doctor he may mellow out a bit)

Michael thrived in the environment, constantly setting the standard for his peers. His keen intelligence and biting wit earned him no friends, however, and once when berated about his bedside manner he replied "Bedside manner? If you want bedside manner then go see a nurse; if you want someone you can save your life from a gaping wound see me. Despite his attitude, Michale graduated top of his class.

Personality: Michael is blunt, too the point and doesn't bother to mince words. Very sarcastic, he doesn't miss a chance to insert a jibe or a scathing insult, often as an alusion. Part of his arrogance stems from his confidence in his abilities and honestly and strongly believes in the hippocratic oath he took, even though he'll tell people that the real reason he studied medicine was so he would "know where to preciesly shoot someone to kill them the fastest."


Appearance: Michael has sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. At 5'9" he's "the standard height for a male human of his age". Despite keeping himself clean shaven almost to the point of obsessiveness, his face is best described as "scruffy." He is never without a medical kit, often containing a varity of congleaing or stabelzing chemicals in case he needs to "keep someone alive long enough to get them to a clean table."

The items marked with an asterick are from Future Tech, also Blackrat how easy would it be to acquire Boost? just a vial or two?

[Blackrat]

Rogues gallery is up: After Earth Rogues Gallery

Raylis. Boost is available. As it is a drug you can even craft some yourself.

So the crew looks like this:

Voda Vosa: Cnosos Pyropolis, Mechanic
Mithran: Faris Namir, Gunner.
Shayri: Melara Richter, Pilot.
Rhun: Damon Knight, Co-pilot.
Raylis: Dr. Michael Cain, Doc.
Micar Sin: ?, Hopefully you're still interested?

[Rhun]

Not only is he the co-pilot, but I found another role for him as well. Since his Computer Use is tied with Cnosis, and Cnosis is filling the role of mechanic.
