[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8466030, member: 42582"] There are no events - it's all implied. For instance, the Navy PC who never gets a commission, but whose EDU grows to D, was clearly working on his PhD (in Xeno Archaeology, we decided) rather than putting his heart and soul into his profession. The Merchant who got the (easy) position as a 4th Officer but who was never promoted after that was obviously bitter towards his employer (a NPC who came into play and is the lady-friend of another PC). The fact that his STR stayed stable or even grew a bit as he aged, while his END kept dropping, showed he was juicing far more than was healthy for him! The Army Lt Colonel with INT 3 and EDU 9 was clearly an absolute stickler for the rules, having memorised every handbook and passed every exam but having no initiative at all. Also, I was wrong in my earlier thread: we have two PCs injured by just-failed Survival checks. One was a Noble, whose skills were Bribery and Gambling an who started with a Type Y Yacht. Obviously he had won the Yacht in a card game, and then been beaten to within an inch of his life by the people he won it from ! (Who also turned up as NPCs in our first session.) Etc. I hope I've made sense! [/QUOTE]
