Illustrous... Now there's a word no-one has used of me before. Thanks, I guess
I figured a little flattery can never hurt.

Hmm, I'm not sure you made much money as such since I'd figure you kept most of the stuff you salvaged. The weapons and medical gear was pretty much the only real valuables and I'm pretty sure Michael called the dibs on any medical gear .
Yes, why not... Now to that wealth question you had...
LOL. I had totally forgotten about that!

Blackrat: The circle is complete, now *I* am the GM
Me: Only a GM of evil, 'Rat.
As for the "childhood friends" thing, I figured that since you guys had already had the one adventure together it would be more appropriate if my character was an outsider, so to speak. Since you seem to need a ship's medic, perhaps the post has been advertised, or at least put about by word of mouth. I present two candidates:
Solomon "Solly" Gancz. A tall, almost gangling, young man with a shock of red hair and an infectious grin. Solly would have a bright future if he applied himself more. Not exactly lazy, more lacking in attention span, Solly has drifted through life and medical school, and a variety of minor jobs, living by his wits and his charm. Whilst not a con-man and thief, Solly nevertheless has a fairly lax attitude to the truth, and to minor possessions.
(Charismatic Hero 2, Drifter background from d20 Future, geared towards interpersonal skills. He has some medical training, but there may have been... one or two little issues about him actually graduating...)
or
"Brother" Asif Rafael. A middle-Eastern looking man, smartly dressed. A yellow sunburst mark on his forehead identifies him as a follower of the Church of the Third Epoch. This is a fairly new religion that borrows elements from most Earth religions and several alien ones, its motto "One Truth and Many Paths". Pretty open-minded (some would say vague), the Third Epoch looks for similarities in dogma. It views the destruction of Earth as sad, but a necessary step in leaving the cradle. Also known as Seekers, the Third Epoch believes that throughout history certain individuals, that they call Memetic Prophets, have produced ideas that have fundamentally changed humanity's outlook on life. They include most religious founders, but also scientific and cultural influences as well.
Asif is a quite-spoken, somewhat studious man, with an understated sense of humour. He is medically trained, and has performed missionary work amongst the poor and downtrodden. Nothing about human behaviour fazes him very much.
(Dedicated Hero 2, Religious occupation, probably better medical skills that Solly, but also more geared to the empathic side of communication than fast-talking).

Both sound fun actually. I like the Third Epoch, fits well with the other Post-Earth Religions I have devised, so even if you don't go with the character, I might use the Church
It's not necessary to know the group initially, but I'd prefer the character to be about same age and also grown on Unity. One idea would be that he's worked on another Far Star ship and Steve (the owner of the company) asked you to skip ships, as his favourite crew could use a medic. Also, if you prefer Asif, he could be close relatives with Faris, who just left the crew...
I'll go with Solly then. Shall I start at 2nd level?

Draft version of Solly posted in the RG. How do you want me to determine hit points? And now, shopping...

So, I defer to you all, if you wanted a 6th, what kind of character would you like?
Well, I haven't seen Relique post what type of PC he would like to play. Dr. Simon is making an interpersonal skill based PC (con-man style), and it looks like he is adding some medical training. I still think we will need a real medic, though...and if someone were willing to play that, Dr. Simon may be able to redistribute those skills to other areas.
With that said, we really don't have a "scientist" style PC on the ship. I'm not sure where our adventures will take us, but that may come in handy.

I added some additional flavor and a pic to my PC Damon Knight. Will try to have his crunch updated to Level 3 tonight.

Nice work...he looks like he fills the cracks where the crew was kinda week. Vitality was max at first level, 1/2 hit points per level after. Plus CON, obviously.

:P Like I said, I was going to have ot wait till 30 minutes ago before I can look over stuff (all my on campus classes are FINALLY finished).
I'm not really sure what I would want to play considering that all the usual usual modern character types I play have already been taken (I often like playing skeevy diplomats and 'face' types). Hmm.. maybe the group would need a fixer someone witrh connections which is also a tactition?

I'm not sure what you mean by fixer/tactician? If you refer to the traditional meaning of fixer as "someone who intervenes with authorities for a person in trouble" than that may very well fit. Especially since some of our dealings are kinda shady.
