[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6478884, member: 4936"] Alrighty! I have spent a lot of time thinking, and reviewing the other PCs, and thinking summore. The result: Total redesign. My initial feel was that I wanted to play a skill-monkeyish ranged support-slash-sort-of-but-not-really-caster who used non-magical/technological abilities. That concept turned out to be both constrained, and constraining...good in a vacuum, but at odds with the rules given to us, and the rest of the party. So now Zeta is an android, back to the guerrilla revolutionary android-rights activist. I dumped the 'I build high tech stuff' angle, since Twist has that covered, and scaled the skills to survivalist/stealth types, with some social skills needed to give some kind of semi-convincing ability to hide oneself and one's illegal activities. I took the Slayer class, as it really seemed to create a character who was good at the kind of skirmishing that I wanted Zeta to be good at; giving plenty of class options and a solid foundation of skill points, hit points, and combat ability to build from. I -may- multiclass into Gunslinger later, but at the start, Zeta does not use firearms. They are too loud, too obvious, and she was never trained in their use before her rebellion and escape. Seriously considered Brawler too, cuz I like the unarmed attack angle, but some of its mechanics strike me as being a little too confusing. So anyway! Sheet is still in development, but as far as social connections go: Any PC who follows local news might have heard something about the outlaw Zeta, who is wanted by the Technologist League for acts of terrorism, sedition, subversion, barbarism, and...there's a list somewhere. It's pretty big. At 1st level, it's unlikely her exploits are -big- news, but there could be some talk to those with their ears to the ground. Zeta wears a mask when fighting the good fight, and otherwise pretends to be just an ordinary (albeit oppressed) android citizen of Torch. If there is such a thing. I'm thinking she might work at an inn by day, which would put her in a position to mingle with other PCs who may not 'click' with her freedom fighting alter ego. Twist, I'm thinking there's room for quite a partnership between our PCs...either to begin with, or over time. Twist's technical skills would be of interest to Zeta, and Zeta being an android might be of interest to Twist. Add to that, Zeta is capable in combat and both in and out of cities, making her a good companion for a ratling on the go. [/QUOTE]
