No worries. Wouldn't have been enough to raise a Characteristic anyway.

xynthoros said:The resistance technicians tried to wipe Rex, but after one of their technicians wound up crumpled on the ground and their systems became flooded with the First Order data he had stolen, to include the bounty on him. One of the technicians who understood binary worked out an agreement, explaining to Resistance leadership the droid's situation. At first there was a call for the droids destruction, it was too much of a risk they argued. Finally, Lt. Mason stepped forward, "I'm in need of a new astromech anyways, I'll take responsibility for it." So for several months, he traveled the outer rim aboard the small cruiser with Lt. Mason. On a resupply on Tatooine, Lt. Mason managed to pick up a young girl, apparently from a wealthy family who had become stranded on the planet, Arsinoe.
That looks right to me as well.
Remind me of Kospirian's connections to other PCs?
I'll try not to be stingy with XP – seems like the system is meant to be pretty generous – 10 XP/player per "session" and on top of that +5 XP for milestones/story awards, +5 XP for playing to your motivation, and a few XP at the GM's discretion for great ideas/roleplaying.
I am going to write it into my updated background but I was thinking at least Arsinoë (somehow involved with freeing her from slavery) being one of the Resistant fighters (or pilot) that picked her up and Rex, when he dealt with smugglers before and meet him and the crew before they meet their untimely demise.
Or with Garnett freeing him from the First Order.
I guess I am not sure how much connection we should have as I don't want to modify someone else's background
Also everything else is good but one slight change has happened since talking earlier...
We've removed the Tatooine / rescue pilot connection. Instead we're thinking Arsinoë crashed on Kabal with Rex.
I have an idea for how Rex might have gotten involved. It involves being "undercover" aboard a pirate ship to retrieve a First Order data cylinder (and this happens to be the pirate ship that guns down the slave-barge Arsinoë was aboard)...let me know if you like it?
[SECTION]Life as a cantina server droid wasn’t the first time Rex had to adopt a cover. Sarn Doree once had the R3 painted with an Imperial color scheme down to the hologram decals. Used to being around smugglers and scoundrels, Rex’s computational protocols estimates there was a 67.8% chance that someone would betray him or Arsinoë. Looking out for the young ingenue was almost a full-time job in and of itself! Though the crash and his friendship with Arsinoë were unexpected, it was no accident Rex had been aboard the krish pirate vessel. The krish had captured an old shuttle belonging to the First Order, and the shuttle’s data cylinder could be invaluable to the Resistance. Rex had been so close when everything went sideways or, more precisely, down. Native lifeforms made short work of stripping the wreck; if the cylinder survived the crash it was likely trading hands in the markets of Kabal.[/SECTION]
This makes another fun connection to Garrett ( [MENTION=6803188]VLAD the Destroyer[/MENTION] ) besides Sarn Doree, as Garrett is the one who found the data cylinder Rex was originally after!
Hmm... also I'd propose that for a connection between Kospirian ( [MENTION=14655]Green Karl[/MENTION] ) and Rex, we could bring in the character of Lieutenant Mason you made up... Maybe Lt. Mason is the same contact/handler within the Resistance for both PCs?
Arsinoë is now up in the Rogue's Gallery, updated with her bonus XP and the new background information.
