I really start liking my character. It's this moment when he becomes more than a satisfying bunch of numbers and suddenly feels motivated.

So we have a skill package, don't we? Which one?
I would have picked up a Recon and/or Stealth.

@Alyx Karoll Connection Idea

Carver is also on the run for something, and moving from Regina to Aramis. I can imagine we run into each other. He is trying to keep a low profile

For the rest, I am in a bit of a bind connection wise. I don't want to spoil Carvers background, and he is difficult to connect with anyhow, but I'll keep an eye out for interesting connection.

Edit: Unless the GM puts forth a package, I suggest we vote on a skill package. I don't have much of a preference, but pressed I would go for the traveller skill package.

In reply to Carver Arvel (msg # 63):

Sounds good. Alyx is very good at being who he's not and might have heard you drop a phrase that indicated there was more than meets the eye (I don't see it in the current draft but I recall you having a previous one which indicated an unusual accent). Alyx wouldn't be curious about the computer, but you might have been hired by him to help make a trip without appearing on the manifest if you are doing any professional hacking.

In reply to Alyx Karoll (msg # 64):

Yes, he has an unusual accent, I just wasn't happy with how I worded it there. Something of that nature will return.



Ooh, good idea. Yup, definitely something Carver would buy into.

Skill package:

My character still lacks any computer skill, which is odd.
Other than that, deception or stealth would be nice and fitting.
Any other "needed on board a spaceship" skill or "fighting skill" would be picks in a pinch.

Any package is fine by me. Before choosing one, we should see if we have any skill gaps that none of us can fill.

In reply to Leroy Ogambe (msg # 66):

I think waiting until everyone has a solid draft of their character is fine for picking the package. We need to do it as a group anyway. I'd propose we discuss needs rather than just picking in order. It looks like the group will be sized so that a couple of people will get two skills and everyone else gets one. I'll volunteer to only get one if that's the case.

The connections skills are a good way to fill in something that just feels "missing". I plan to pick up Advocate, since it covers Oratory and Public Speaking as well as the law. Not sure what I will pick up for a second connection if I have one.

I'm thinking that while Alyx is really good at playing a role, he's not very Method and when he's not "On" he tends to fall back into being himself, at least he was before he was running, so if you ant Carver to have figured it out on his own, that's fine.

I can assure you that however famous you are, Carver has genuinely never heard of you. Though it might be possible that he is beginning to suspect something because of possible reactions and whispers around you.

We could give the 2nd skills to those that have the fewest skill points > 0. That would make it fair, I think.

I can absolutely agree with that.

You are Heike now.

Awesomesauce and see? I look nothing like her.  Now, how do I fit?

In reply to Heike Ubangi (msg # 77):

How do you fit? What do you do?

Jill of all Trades mostly but I do have a slot in each of Steward, Deception, Electronics, Mechanic and Melee.

In reply to Heike Ubangi (msg # 79):

The Steward for now then!

To avoid overlap we would be best served by someone in an medic, marine or gunner spot.

In reply to Nerull (msg # 80):

Check private message pls.

In reply to Danila (msg # 82):

Who is the medic?

Need 2 gunners and a marine if we want them. Back-ups for the second spot for several stations too. Rigollo is dropped.

In reply to Nerull (msg # 83):

Four days until start, maybe? Sign on to the crew.
