Neat! A game type that I like, a system I know, and a DM that I am absolutely sure won't vanish in the middle of the game :)

I was thinking along the lines of Alexander Dubchek, 43 years old former KGB agent. After the fall of the Soviet Union, he spent his time as a mercenary for several organizations. He is skillful with most weapons, but prefers hand-to-hand combat. Makes at most 7-8 missions each year: he has an adopted 5 years old daughter and spends his time with her in Quèbec. Especially good at surprising foes and dispatching them quickly. Will provide further background.

I will probably be the muscles of the group, as it seems that all of the others are scientists and mechanics.

That give me extra points!

Nightbreeze, what do you think of planning a shared background? Been the two characters from Russia it could be interesting to have them linked in some old friendship, may be pursuited by Stalin forces. Or on the other hand, it could be also great thet your character was investigating Lotka for some suspicious research. They might be the "all life enemies" now forced to work together.

I am encouraging this.

How do you two feel about the university/lab and campaign background starting off in Russia? I've been giving this some thought, so I'm not sure if I want to or not; it would be a little extra homework, but I'm getting good vibes from it.

Serow, please diregard the +1 to all attribute column. The only two columns I'm using from that table is the third to last and second to last ones. Also, have you given any thought to the two custom feats I posted up?
