[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6641264, member: 40413"] Sooo... I have three ideas. They all, in some way, share a common theme of having some stake in AI/upload rights even if only peripherally. 1) Psychologist w/ specialization in electronic intelligence. Probably one that works on the project that developed Shayuri's character. I worked this one up a couple of weeks ago (since misplaced the paper with all my scratchings) but it was something like (NOW) Designed / Hacker -> Hacker -> College -> College -> College. Strengths: high LOG and good ratings with Computers and Psychology. Weakness: terrible physical attributes, no combat skills, computer skills/LOG redundant with android PC. 2) Military liason with the AI project. (NOW) Augmented / Scion -> Academy -> Academy -> Naval cadet Cruise -> Intelligence Officer. Strengths: good balance of physical and mental attributes & skills, one good combat skill, good amount of CR/gear. Weakness: Computers and Psychology at an average level, probably below what a worker on the project would have. Military/duty causes conflict with PC's ethics; I'm not really interested in playing an AWOL character. To avoid that, Intelligence Officer could be switched to Diplomat and he could be an ambassador of sorts to the Culture (along the lines of Kabe in Look to Windward) but that messes with the liason aspect that seemed essential to concept. 3) Media personality (unaffiliated with the AI project) who is sort of one part Max Headroom, one part Eric Bogosian, and one part modern social media celebrity. Could be the one contacted to help get the android away and into hiding. Human / Everyman -> College -> Drifter -> Con Artist -> Performer (or Prisoner if the roll is bad). Strengths: high CHA and LUC, lots of social skills. Weakness: low physical attributes, no combat skills, overlapping social skills, not sure I could pull off the high CHA banter I imagine necessary for the concept. Also, Prisoner would balance the physical with the mental a little better but as the last career would throw off the celebrity aspect of Performer and mess with what I think is a necessary order. If it came up I would have to rethink the order and choice of careers. General issues: Not particularly fond of the NEW Human race; exploits seem underwhelming. I like the NOW Designed & Augmented a bit better and was wondering if those would be allowed should I choose to go with option 1 or 2. Currently, I favor 3 but the balance of 2 is very appealing to me. I welcome any suggestions or ideas you all may have. [/QUOTE]
