Character Generation and Discussion.
In reply to Ziven Of Nine (msg # 1):
I got a lot to say, but no worth wringing it out, names Galath Rhymer, and I got into this to see the wide galaxy and that takes some cred, I've had itchy feet my whole life. I can fight with my fists and wits, not a bad shot if someone really needs it, but I first love is music after the Unity, of course.
My character image is of someone who looks as back-planet as possible, plays an old instrument with unusual strings or elements, and very loosely inspired by a hybrid of two characters Paladin (Old West show) and John the Balladeer. He's a good shot but doesn't normally carry anything but his instrument, also good with his fists, and he has more in common with folk on the low end of society--not criminals, but those people just struggling to get by--because that's the kind of folk he came from. He did serve as a soldier at some point, and came to his fighting skills from that; but they're not as important as his personal charisma, music, and honesty.
Don't expect him to charm someone with lies, and his instrument is special in a way that makes evil psychics REALLY not like he's playing.
