[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 1886989, member: 8858"] Rough sketchy outline, could use suggestions for details and to fill in the blanks. I'm still fuzzy on how he gets pulled along with the "shuttle craft". Perhaps the vehicle itself is not so important as some kind of astral travel field that it generates around itself. 1) Concept: Charles Kenner, the bystander Charles, a 20-something nobody has drifted throughout his life with no real sense of direction. He's just quit another dead end job when he gets pulled through a deathgate with the Astrolager on it's maiden voyage. Although he isn't supposed to be around, he has a feeling that he is on the right track for once in his life. After that, he is out to prove his worth to the team to avoid getting sent back to his hum drum normal life. 2) Story arc: a) Issue: search for purpose b) Screen Presence: pilot(2) + 1-1-2-2-3 3) Traits: Edges: Hidden Depths - Now that he has found a goal, Charles possesses reserves on inner strength that even he isn't aware of. He will persevere and succeed. Suggestions? - Perhaps "underestimated" Everyone, including himself, assumes him to be unimportant, and thus they ignore him. Connections: Old Man Li -- the crazy old chinese guy who runs the small grocery store near Charles' apartment. He's always spouting nonsensical stories, but Charles humored him anyway. But maybe Li know more than he lets on . . . More Suggestions? and finally, one more suggestion for another edge/contact? 4) Nemesis (optional): none that I can think of 5) Personal Set (optional): His apartment. Nothing special here, just a perfectly normal apartment. A comforting refuge from the madness of the world in which Charles has found himself. [/QUOTE]
