I've got a d20 future character in cold storage who I could thaw and carve up a little to fit into a Firefly game. I've seen Serenity, but haven't seen Firefly.
Watus, for abilities is it possible to use the Grid System and should it turn sour fall back on the 32pt buy? And (since wealth has been changed a bit) how would you like us to calculate wealth, roll for each level or use the book method for characters higher than lvl 1? Do characters start with 5 (or 6) + 1/2 lvl AP (8 or 9, depending on class)?
My concept is a primarily social/investigative character, with some combat abilities to otherwise make him useful. He worked as a particularly ruthless and effective counterintelligence operative on one of the central planets and was entrusted with hunting down a suspect individual who had fled to the rim planets. During the many months he was away the planet was struck with an unforseen economic catastrophe. The situation didn't take long to recover from but in the process both he and his quarry were accidently wiped from the Cortex and nobody realised. When he had secured the suspect and was about to return he discovered that neither of them were in the Cortex any longer, and that the guy was innocent of wrongdoing anyway. Initially he only did the counterintelligence job because he was good at it, but eventually he began to enjoy it. He hated himself for that, and the conflict was slowly killing him on the inside over the years he had been doing it. He saw his accidental removal from the Cortex as a lucky break, albeit somewhat late. He released the suspect, whom through much discussion he had become friends with, and decided to make a living on the rim planets as a kind of mercenary/private investigator. In truth he's largely apolitical, and his primary concerns usually revolve around his job and those he works with. Despite the horrible things he has done he's actually quite a nice guy, which could either be a redeeming feature or make him that much more detestable, depending on your point of view.
