Good time for a roll call.

Who is completely done with chargen and who needs more time?

I'm happy with mine, I am leaving the two open to fill in later.

To be honest I'm leaning towards those two as well. Looks like we have a couple Guns and various Specialists (pilots, engineers...) but no (explicitly) Face, so I think I'll build either as one.

Give me 12h and I can be done with chargen.
I'll also offer a tie-in in a bit (or take any if someone wants to have one...)

Damia is somewhat face like. Her experience is business but the high level side so lots of negotiation. But, having two different types of major contacts could be good.

Here's where I stand right now...   I'm good to move forward if you're good with the still undefined elements.

Dr. Anjali Singh
Fate: 3/3, Stress: [1][2][3]
Consequences: (2/4/6) None Currently
Approaches: Careful +2, Clever +3, Flashy +0, Forceful +1, Quick +1, Sneaky +2
Aspects: Adventure-Seeking Trauma-Tech, Insatiable Curiosity, Pay It
Forward, Ancient Daikini Bloodline, Undefined Aspect
Stunts:
Trust Me, I'm a Doctor
Because I'm an Adventure Seeking Trauma-Doctor, once per session, I can
reduce someone else's consequence by one rank if I succeed on an treatment
roll with a difficulty of Fair(+2) for a mild, Good(+3) for a Moderate, or Great(+4)
for a Severe consequence.  I need to actually treat the person and it must be
played out or referenced in the narrative.  This also counts as starting recovery.
Xenophilia
Because I am Insatiably Curious, I gain +2 to cleverly create advantage (or
discover aspects) when dealing with alien elements.
Undefined Stunt

Note:
Daikini is basically an Indian "Witch"...  I'm considering a stunt to to facilitate access to knowledge based on a "genetic memory" kind of thing... I kinda like the just slightly creepy element this brings to her.

Here's the draft of my character sheet. Please bring it to me attention if there's anything here that doesn't make sense or needs tweaking, I'd be happy to do it as soon as I see your message.
Let me know if you need something else, Ziven.

Kaarina

Fate: 3/3, Stress: [1][2][3]
Consequences: (2/4/6) None Currently
Approaches: Clever +3, Sneaky +2, Flashy +2, Forceful +1, Quick +1, Careful +0

A technician once serving aboard one of the civilian ships involved in the Chrioch spaceport interdiction. Peculiar personality and even more peculiar skillset, but try not to question it too much.
Swears get to the bottom of the whole incident while their ship is being withheld and inspected by investigators and personally leave a scratch on the ship of whoever thought the whole incident up.

High Concept: The Hotshot Officer
"Kaarina Heikkinen, Auxillary Reactor Technician aboard the Bell. Awfully lacking job title."
"I can plot navigation by hand, repair WWIV equipment, speak five languages and fix a sublight reactor by kicking it.

Trouble: Professionally Unprofessional
"Don't get any funny ideas? Well, if you aren't getting them, ask me. I've got a couple."
"No, really, they're quite funny and they might just work."

Intelligence Agent / I can tell...
"Yes, yes. I am affiliated with the 31st's 'secret' service, but it's just a formality, honestly. You don't have anything to worry about, I promise. But not guarantee."
Because I am an Intelligence Agent, I can learn about something at hand just from the environment. (e.g via eavesdropping, making inferences from objects...)

It's A Hobby Of Mine / Let me give that a hand...
"Life is too short to decide against learning anything. That's what I think. Now hand me those capacitors, please."
Because It's A Hobby Of Mine, I gain +2 to Flashily repairing a piece of equipment/technology using inappropriate materials.

Questionable Sixth Sense / In five seconds...
"Luulen, että tässä on koira haudattuna. I listen to my hunches. I can count the number of times it's saved my life on one finger."
Because I have a Questionable Sixth Sense, I gain +2 to the first Forceful OR Quick roll I make in a situation I have predicted or have been forewarned about.

And, by the way! If anyone would like to jump in on a tie-in, what do you think about this?

Kaarina was off-duty and roaming around the spaceport when the Incident occurred. Someone might've talked to them and made an acquaintance at an establishment like a spaceport tavern (If those exist. Probably... same as a pub is, just with more blue lighting and cybernetics. Or perhaps it's still the same as it was couple decades/centuries ago.)

After Kaarina pulled Dr. Anjali out of her predicament at the cargo bays, on their way out, either by way of being pursued by someone/something (?) / they met that acquaintance of Kaarina that helped them (and maybe quickly cleaned the situation up before it got awry within the station.)

Details are still pretty loose, so if you could put your spin on it that would be very nice.

My read:

Damia Done.
Anjali Done.
Galath Done.
Hoz Done.
Jerry Done.
Kaarina Done.

So I have nothing from Seraphmoon since the 13th, but i know how low those shots can lay you, so give her another day or so. I get my second shot on Thursday early morning and reacted strongly to the first. Thus, we can expect to start this weekend one way or another. I can always post from my sickbed on my tablet. :P

Very cool.

Actually, I have a couple of questions about what's going to happen soon...

- Any issues or kinks you'd want to work out in our sheets after you've read them?
- How far are our characters acquainted with each other on average?*

And I know you'll get to it, but we're getting an introduction post to the world and the first situation, yeah?

- Sidhe

* I assume we're a bunch of people up to it cobbled together into a Lance at the last moment. Or maybe we've met, discussed and made the decision together?

Not that I can see.



Entirely between you guys and none of my business. I get told, not tell in this case. :D



About that... See below.



The Spaceport link is the founding of the Lance, more or less, you worked so well as a team in that case you decided to go pro.

As for situations:

How about Lancers? You want missions or choices of bids from me?

I'll write some about the scenario soon.

As for missions, I'd prefer usually options but not always.

I'd prefer that you give us the basics of the first scenario, so that we can try on our characters and actually play--sooner rather than later.

We'll have all sorts of opportunities to make stuff up as we go, and it will flow better if it's organic, as a result of what we're playing...

Give us a mark too good to be true and watch the sparks fly.

COVID Vaccine dose 2 last night. Strangely, not only no side effects, but I felt better after it than I did going to it.

Also, heard from Seraphmoon, and responded, will see what happens. They had RPOLitus, no notifications going through.

In reply to Ziven Of Nine (msg # 97):

This past few days got away from me, sorry. Nothing more from Seraphmoon, so we will move on without them.

EDIT: Mondrian added from the reserve list. Hi when they see this. :D

Welcome.

Glad your vaccine didn't do much. I was very much the opposite.

I'll grab and update the chart.

Let me know if this isn't currently correct.

In reply to Damia (msg # 100):

;_;

And yeah, Mondrian, any character concept you have in mind so far? We'd love to see it.

If you aren't considering a pilot-type character, I'd happily make a couple edits to Kaarina to be the pilot. I was under the impression we already had one, though? Or was that Seraphmoon.

I did forget to add you, Kaarina. Let me know if the description works or what I should add.

I think Seraphmoon was the pilot at first.

ping?

In reply to Dr. Anjali Singh (msg # 103):

I think we have waited long enough. I will start us up tonight as is. Losing Mondrian for non response. Six is good.

Any thoughts on a ship, one of the ones I posted or similar, or a Lance Handle? Some acceptable lance names off the top of my head for the setting would be Hamlin's Heroes, Hell Company, Force Majeure, Hammerfist Inc., Shooting Stars, and Liberty Crew.

I'll go with the majority vote, but I pick Force Majeure.

I suggest Broomstar Battalion off the back of my head.

- Sidhe

I like https://postimg.cc/YhNcQKKV for the ship.

I'm thinking on handles.

Looks good to me, I had a similar ship/aesthetic in mind...

By the way, changed my portrait to match my character. Cat is only for DMing, haha.

- Sidhe

I prefer inscrutable lance names:

• Option Seven
• Directive Sixteen
• Zeta Protocol

As to the ship... I just don't care what it looks like.  I'm way more interested in what it has ob-board and it's functional capabilities.   Will the GM be working up a stats-bank for the ship itself?  Should we be expecting ship-to-ship conflicts?  How big is the ship?
