[QUOTE="kookalouris, post: 5348779, member: 23872"] Actually, I like your punchlines but here's how the joke was explained to me... [spoiler]GDW products have NO humor in them, none! Look through them and try and find just ONE joke. It's as if the entire product line was written by dry and dusty professors. I can't think of another game company like it.[/spoiler] As far as a character goes: I think my character will be human. It is a complement to Traveller that its humans are as interesting as its alien. I'm thinking of one of three basic skillsets: An old expert (Traveller was one of the few games that rewarded the older characters), say an intendant class Doctor, Scientist, Historian, etc, maybe even a Jack-Of-All Trades. A drone bodyguard, born and bred to protect the Zhodani upper-class (and by extension mission crew). I'm thinking more of a martial artist than a cybered or power-armored fighter (an opponent that could challenge a person wearing power armor would SLAUGHTER the other crew). A psychic; I realize that Zoe is also moderately psychic as well as being as skilled pilot but I am thinking of a real psychic talent who is useless at anything else. Also, my psychic might have the really CREEPY psychic powers, like telepathy or precognition, etc. In any case, I don't want to steal Zoe's fire. Let me know what you think and I will work on a background... [/QUOTE]
