[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 2965683, member: 21506"] Hi, Yellow Sign. This sounds like fun. I'm afraid I'm another of the people who doesn't know the setting or have a copy of the rules but I had a couple of thoughts for character concepts which I'd like to run past you. First, an academic (Oxford don) with an interest in parallel development theories of intelligence. A philologist, he is also something of a cultural anthropologist and is interested in studying alien cultures. As I'm writing this I'm thinking he sounds like Daniel Jackson from Stargate - but at any rate, I think a scholar like this could be fun to play, if you think he would fit. Another idea I had was a big-game hunter - particularly keen to bag some dinosaur. Or else a soldier of fortune type, who might hire on as a mercenary or who might get caught up in some sort of rescue mission. This could also be a servant of the Crown entrusted with a mission of vital importance. Or how about a Colonial - from Australia, set to make his fortune in any way he can. Or a pastoralist's youngest son, looking to find some promising stock to cross-breed for a hardier, more drought-resistant breed of sheep. Or what about an Oriental mystic seeking enlightenment? Or a Church of England clergyman seeking to convert the natives? The White Man's Burden, you know! (I can't imagine that this latter would last as a character concept - but there's no reason that it couldn't be the hook to get him offworld in the first place.) What do you think? Boddynock [/QUOTE]
