Ack! The options!
Okay, let's see...
Let's say military. Private military, actually, if they have that in this setting? My idea was always that he had some minimal military training, but from what I'm gathering of the Imperial groups, I'm pretty sure he'd have been killed no matter what.
Definitely not a stowaway. Until they found out what he really was, the crew was fine with having him aboard. His skills don't point to especially intensive combat training, so junior crewman might be better than guard, and might put him near the captain even at a low rank, if he were, say, helping man the helm.
See above. (private?) military, though it's fully possible if they had a regular route for Zhent to have gotten to know them from, that they were a military supply ship rather than a battle vessel.
Definitely not things from the warp. I think manifesting as the things were attacking would have lead to the not-entirely-illogical conclusion that Zhent had (intentionally or un-) summoned the critters, and he'd be dead. Passengers gone mad might lead folks to a similar conclusion. He was fairly friendly with crew, so I'm not sure a rebellion feels right.
So, heretics or xenos. In that case, despite his own 'alien-ness,' once it was over, Zhent could benefit from the relative goodwill of 'he may be a psyker, but he's a believer / human,' (i.e., he's evil, but less than whatever just invaded). Pick whichever flavor you like best, since I could work with either.
Captain looks like it fits the scenario best. On-station at the helm when some small contingent of the invaders broke in, the captain took what should have been a mortal wound. Zhent spontaneously manifested, sealing the wound with a touch, possibly with concomitant 'psychic phenomena' to spook the invaders and give the crew a chance to turn the tide.
This could work with either a rogue trader (one of the traders that plies his trade at the edge of known space). They range frome the ones that are barely scraping by to the immensely wealthy.
Another option is one of the trader families that follow the chartered routes throughout known space.
Either way, it's a contact that's worth maintaining.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ENworld just ate my in-game post. Feck. I've been writing for almosty an hour on it. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

yeah I spent an hour or so writing one up for my epic game and had it eaten tooI hate when ENWorld does that, I gotta go back to typing it up in notepad and then copy-pasta.
well, back to work.
Yeah, I usually use google documents so i can access half-written posts from any computer, but I didn't this time. Stupid me
Say, any of you lot in a game that needs an additional player? I can't be bothered to sort through all the threads that say recruitment only to find that they're either filled up already, actually not recruiting at all or just plain silly.
Hrm. Let's go with rogue trader. If his orbital was relatively remote, I can see him romanticizing the traders, since he'd only really be seeing the world through their eyes. They filled his head with their best tall tales / drunk boasting, and he couldn't think of a better life, so when he got the chance, he signed on.
I don't believe any of the games I'm in is recruiting, but I'll let you know if that changes.
Sounds good. You're free to fill in the details
. Free traders are a diverse and unruly lot, there's little or no end to the freedom you have when designing one as a background NPC. If you need a hand give me (or one of the other players) a yell .
No worries. It's just the nature of the game that you lose players and I don't want to start a new chapter with a missing player.
