Although not advanced in time, this character's culture is dramatically advanced in biotechnology due to a long term focus on it, and access to tools that baseline Earth was not "gifted" with. On the counter, their reliance on biotech results in lagging in other areas of technology...noteably energy generation, electronics, and computer. I tried to reflect this in my equipment selections...choosing advanced "organic" equipment, but selecting other equipment from the standard list, and intentionally avoiding anything more advanced than a radio and pair of binoculars.Vela's combat role will be that of a melee specialist. In close combat her feats and mutations give her good defense and high damage output. I may want to take some Fast Hero in the future, to increase the speed at which she can close distances. I also took several feats and class abilities to represent biological enhancements without mechanically being 'mutations.' Increased healing and durability namely. In essence, she can take damage, and she can dish it out when up close.Vela's noncombat role will be that of scout and wilderness guide. Good sense checks, high Survival skill, and excellent stealth capacities lend to these pursuits. Her mutations also give her unusual mobility options...such as great jumping ability and climbing up sheer vertical surfaces. Access to advanced biotech gives her a couple of handy high tech items (if approved by GM).[sblock=Vela]Name: VelaClass: Tough 3 / Evolutionary 6 / LA +1Occupation: ScavengerGender: FemaleHeight: 5'10" Weight: 125Hair: Brown Eyes: BrownAge: 20XP: Allegiances: Reputation: +3Speed: 30 Run: 120AP: 10Hit Dice: 9d10+27 (81)Massive Damage Threshold: 16Initiative: +3Defense: 20 (10 + 3 dex + 4 class + 2 natural + 1 equipment)BAB: +6 Melee: +7 Ranged: +9Abilities: Str 12, Dex 16, Con 16, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 10Saves: Fort +8, Ref +7, Will +6Skills: 18 + 30Concentration (Con) +9 (6 ranks + 3 con)Search (Int) +9 (9 ranks + 0 Int)Spot (Wis) +6 (4 ranks + 1 Wis + 1 occupation)Survival (Wis) +10 (9 ranks +1 wis)Climb +10 (5 ranks + 1 str + 4 mutation)Hide +12 (5 ranks + 3 dex + 4 mutation)Jump +11 (0 ranks + 1 str + 10 mutation)Listen +6 (5 ranks + 1 wis)Move Silently +8 (5 ranks + 3 dex)Talents:Second WindDamage Reduction 2/-Resist Cold 3Class Abilities:LA = 8 MPDevelopment: Damaging Mutation (Claws)Development: Focus Mutation (Claws)Mutation points (8)Bonus featBonus featFeats:Simple Weapon Proficiency, 1 Salvage1 Tough Plusb Endurance3 Defensive Martial Art6 Elusive Targetb Weapon Finesse - Claws9 Improved Natural Healingb Iron WillMutations (16)Chameleon Skin (1)Claws (1)Adrenalin Jolt (3)Scent (2)Leaper (1)Wall Crawler (2)Thick Hide (3)Darkvision (3)AttacksClaw, +10/+6 to hit, 2d6+1 dmg, naturalCurrent Wealth: +11 (reduced 2 by purchases)ArmorPL6 Symbiotic Survival Suit, +1 AC, 0 ACP, 3lbs, (heals damage, doesn't interfere with mutation use)EquipmentFast Use Medikit (PL6)Aquaconverter, Symbiotic (PL6)Day Pack, 2lbsBackpack, 3lbsTool belt, 2lbsBasic Walkie-talkie, 1lbMultitoolBinoculars, std, 2lbsCompass, .5lbPortable Stove, 1lbSleeping bag, 4lbs[/sblock]Oh! I wanted to ask if I could tack one more, relatively unusual feature to Techno-Organic (which I noted on the sheet as symbiotic). Namely, that TO equipment "synchronizes" to a character's genetics, so it can emulate mutations while bonded to the character. Otherwise Vela will have to strip everytime she wants to be sneaky...and while I suppose that's not really a big problem, it might prove distracting to game flow from time to time. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
