VLAD the Destroyer
Adventurer
My concept is a latent Psi user trained for battle by some shadow corporation. He fled and is now on the run. Going to need to go over character creation rules since I just picked up the book.
WOIN N.E.W. Space Opera [OOC]...
- Thread starter GreenKarl
- Start date
So a robot and a pair of psychics. Should be interesting. 
What kind of skills are you guys planning to focus on?
I'm finding myself spread a little thin at the moment...though not disastrously so, I think, since there's a hard cap of 5 dice in the pools right now regardless.

It depends on everyone else BUT I am also cool if you want to join later after the game has started. SO depending on how fast I set up the extra stuff the team gets and the characters are created my tentative would be to start within a week. But that's not a hard start date just a goal right now
Here's my career list, and rolls for age:
Origin: Talent: [roll0]
Marx was born on an asteroid, where his father was a minor. They were mining some strange substances, and when Marx was born, he was born different. As a baby, he reacted to people's emotions rather than their demeanor. As he grew, he learned he was able to feel other people's emotions with ease. He used this to make sure the other kids stayed in line, even catching a few in the act of some serious crimes. This did not earn him friends, however, but he didn't care. He wanted to make sure those who broke the law were caught.
Career 1: Battlepsyche [roll1]
Unfortunately, his power was discovered by a shadowy organization. They took him at the age of 9 , and they trained him to be a powerhouse, developing his psychic abilities further. He learned how to shield himself, permanently, with little effort. But he didn't like this place. He didn't like these people. After 5 years of training, he took off, using his newfound abilities to keep himself hidden from them.
Career 2: Detective: [roll2]
He spent the next 2 years on a city planet, where he fell in with an older man who was a private detective. Working as his Apprentice, Marx used his abilities to help track criminals. While young, he managed to keep his powers secret from everyone except a special few, and became very good at what he did, acting as a consultant to the police in the area.
Career 3 and 4: Star Knight [roll3] and [roll4]
He was approached by the Star Knights at the age of 16, who were impressed with his abilities and what he had chosen to do with them. He didn't want anything to do with it at first, wanting nothing more than to be a detective. But when they explained that they basically are detectives, only more effective, he made the hard choice to leave his new world and train with them. He built his own laser sword within the first 5 years, and increased his ability with it so he could deflect ranged attacks with it.
Now, this 26 year old Intuitive Human Star Knight who needs to bring criminals to justice does what he can to ferret out the criminals who would take advantage of those more innocent than they.

He's looking good so far. Also I was playing around with the online Starship Construction and sort of built the ship the team will be starting with access to. I did not completely follow the rules for Starship construction when I built this ship, but as it is not going to be used in battle I am hoping that its’ no big deal It’s mostly for the heroes to have something to get around in the Reach with, not fight space pirates with. NOW after some experience with the Regulators the UFA may assign them an armed ship (they have around a dozen or so of the Catino-Class II Privateers in their fleet from the Starship Recognition Manuel) for patrol and anti-piracy action.
Xern Junk-Scout Type II
This is a longer range, updated junk-scout vessel used by the United Frontier Authority (UFA) for standard Regulator transports. It based on an older model Union Scout (at least a hundred years out of date) with various upgrades. It carries no weapons but its range allow for Regulators to move about within the Reach with little difficulty. This ship is not suitable for patrol or anti-pirate work.
Weight: 429 tons; Cargo Units: 15 (0 available; capacity 0.2 tons)
Hull Class: 0-III (INIT +1d6)
Traits: none
Crew: 2 (cost 400cr/m); Passengers: 4 (standard)
Command & Control Systems
Computers: 1x Highwatch SM-1 Computer (CPU cycles 8; max FTL 2; checks +0d6)
Sensors: Chen-Collins SS-2 (range 4; checks +0d6)
Engine & Power Data
Subluminal: 1x Star Corporation SF-2 Fusion Reactor (power 12; Speed 11; fuel efficiency 1.2)
FTL: 2x Cui-Green Alliance SH-1 Hyperdrive (power 4ea; FLT 2.0; fuel efficiency 0.8)
Operational Range: 30 parsecs; Travel Increments 6 parsecs
Defensive Data
Superstructure: 6; DEFENSE 28; E-DEFENSE 10
Shields: 1x DayCorp Systems SSN-2 Navigational Shield Generator (power 1; SOAK n/a)
Facilities
Luxury: 100% (adequate; +0d6)
Facilities: Brig (2), Double Cabins (3), Messhall (6)
General Systems

Market Value: 48.2 MCr.

Here he is. I think I got everything right. Made a little change with the Star Knight exploits, went ahead and took the Missile Deflection one instead of Summon. I can start getting telekinetic stuff if we ever advance.
Let me know if I got anything wrong!
