[OOC] Anyone wanna play some Stars without Number? [Recruiting Closed]

[Tonguez]

So far I've rolled my background Pilot, which is certainly helpfull. Then rolled to gain +2 Physical (strength), trade-0, and pilot-1. So a very competent pilot so far.

So my new backstory has Kore rescued from an Asteroid where he was stranded after pirate attack - since you’re a pilot maybe you could be the one who picked him up?

That’s a great idea! Fits my idea of a cranky old man who cannot stop helping people concept nicely. [emoji2]

 

[Tonguez]

Okay I’va changed my class to Spacer: Warrior Gunslinger and changed my stats and back story too. (The older ones there in spoilers for comparison)
On top of Shoot, I’ve got Fix and Pilot as extra skills so can help on the Bridge, Guns or even Engineering if need be.

Background:
Magnus was born on a deep belt mining station. He spent his childhood in the cramp confined spaces and recycled air. His parents ran the maintenance crew. When he wasn't in school he was helping them or exploring the station. At 13 he had his first incident. He had dozed off in class and woke up on deck 3s main airlock. He had jumped halfway across the station because he was dreaming of riding on the tramp freighter that had docked there the other week. After that everything changed. His friends stopped talking to him. Psychics weren't persecuted on the station like on some worlds but he could still see the fear in peoples eyes when he was around. His parents even treated him differently. They were distant, afraid like everyone else. When the representative from the <Need Org Name> arrived on station to interview him Magnus knew he was going to be leaving his home. He spent 10 years at the academy. He learned to control his powers and opened up the freedom he had craved so much as a child on station. Once he graduated he hopped onto a ship and took to the stars.

Goal:Freedom and exploration

[KahlessNestor]

I think I will make Maverick an Expert then, given we have a real Warrior.

Hm... Considering rolling for skills rather than picking, since I get the extra roll that could go for Growth. That means might lose Lead or Connections.

Growth: 1D6 = [5] = 5
Learning: 1D8 = [4] = 4
Learning: 1D8 = [4] = 4

Connect 0 and Lead 1. Nice!

Background

Goal: The good life. Credits, women, pleasure

Maverick is the son of a powerful politician in a relatively advanced world. Always a smooth talker, he was being groomed to follow in his father’s footsteps. However, his penchant for gambling, drinking, and womanizing constantly got him into trouble until he finally slept with the wrong woman, the wife of a powerful rival politician. It was decided that for the good of his continued health, it might be best if Maverick left for a while.
