Hmm, I'm not sure you made much money as such since I'd figure you kept most of the stuff you salvaged. The weapons and medical gear was pretty much the only real valuables and I'm pretty sure Michael called the dibs on any medical gear :D.
 


Blackrat: The circle is complete, now *I* am the GM
Me: Only a GM of evil, 'Rat.

As for the "childhood friends" thing, I figured that since you guys had already had the one adventure together it would be more appropriate if my character was an outsider, so to speak. Since you seem to need a ship's medic, perhaps the post has been advertised, or at least put about by word of mouth. I present two candidates:

Solomon "Solly" Gancz. A tall, almost gangling, young man with a shock of red hair and an infectious grin. Solly would have a bright future if he applied himself more. Not exactly lazy, more lacking in attention span, Solly has drifted through life and medical school, and a variety of minor jobs, living by his wits and his charm. Whilst not a con-man and thief, Solly nevertheless has a fairly lax attitude to the truth, and to minor possessions.
(Charismatic Hero 2, Drifter background from d20 Future, geared towards interpersonal skills. He has some medical training, but there may have been... one or two little issues about him actually graduating...)

or

"Brother" Asif Rafael. A middle-Eastern looking man, smartly dressed. A yellow sunburst mark on his forehead identifies him as a follower of the Church of the Third Epoch. This is a fairly new religion that borrows elements from most Earth religions and several alien ones, its motto "One Truth and Many Paths". Pretty open-minded (some would say vague), the Third Epoch looks for similarities in dogma. It views the destruction of Earth as sad, but a necessary step in leaving the cradle. Also known as Seekers, the Third Epoch believes that throughout history certain individuals, that they call Memetic Prophets, have produced ideas that have fundamentally changed humanity's outlook on life. They include most religious founders, but also scientific and cultural influences as well.
Asif is a quite-spoken, somewhat studious man, with an understated sense of humour. He is medically trained, and has performed missionary work amongst the poor and downtrodden. Nothing about human behaviour fazes him very much.
(Dedicated Hero 2, Religious occupation, probably better medical skills that Solly, but also more geared to the empathic side of communication than fast-talking).
 

Both sound fun actually. I like the Third Epoch, fits well with the other Post-Earth Religions I have devised, so even if you don't go with the character, I might use the Church ;)

It's not necessary to know the group initially, but I'd prefer the character to be about same age and also grown on Unity. One idea would be that he's worked on another Far Star ship and Steve (the owner of the company) asked you to skip ships, as his favourite crew could use a medic. Also, if you prefer Asif, he could be close relatives with Faris, who just left the crew...

Of the two, I got to admit, I like Solly more.
