Never Quit: An Outcast character counts his Toughness

a Fate point to automatically succeed at an Awareness
or Inquiry skill test with a number of degrees of
success equal to his Perception bonus.

Armoured bodyglove

Weapons:
Laspistol
Chainsword

Gear:
2 doses of obscura

[3 free items from armoury Scarce or commoner :
Grapnel & line
Stummer
Vocal implant (because it's an incredibly effective way to get everyone to listen to you in large crowds, or for intimidation purposes)

Description:
Height: 1.60m
Weight: 'Lighter than you are, I'd wager!'
Age: 29
Skin: Pale, freckled
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Auburn

Appearance:

Personality: Irreverent, offbeat sense of humour. Lives for the thrill of the chase. Was indoctrined with all the social niceties as a child, thus knows exactly how to flout them all shamelessly.

Background: Bored by what her family had planned for her, she put her foot down and decided to make her own way in life. Made contact with the Inquisitor after bringing to light the criminal actions of a person in high society (who was conspiring with a ring of heretics?) [more coming]

NPCs
Friend : her 'mad' Aunt Maud, who was the only member of her extensive family to condone her foray into a dangerous career of chasing the scum of the Sector. Being the wife of a Rogue Trader, Aunt Maud often travels around the Sector and keeps sending letters to Tessera.
Neutral : her elder brother Louis Antoinette, who rolls his eyes at news of his sister's exploits but shuts down any talk of 'disinheriting' her.
Enemy : a noble whose criminal friend/lover she was instrumental in stopping...?

Character Flaws
Audacious, Theatrical, Stubborn

Well done on getting this up so quick as well as all the items and the background information. Its good to be getting a highborn/(plus someone who has a good knowledge of the underworld) into the group, both for the different interactions she might have with the established characters and there is a good chance you will be running into the local nobility. I'm excited.

I've been thinking about how Tessera might join up with the rest of the group and I have an idea I'll discuss with you. Are you on Line? We have a chat there we do some of the casual chat about the game.

Everything is good on all your rolls, skills and equipment above. Only thing I noticed was in your characteristic advance. When you upgraded your Agility- you only have one of the two aptitudes (finesse) so the simple advance should be 250 and the intermediate 500, rather than 100, and 250. You could still take the simple advance and then spend the extra 100 on something else or change this altogether.

(Also make sure to add the chainsword to the weapons above. It might come in handy.)

Thanks! I took a look at the other characters before making mine, in order to get a good feel for what could work, and I'm glad to hear I'm not too far off the mark...

I installed LINE but haven't gotten around to activating my account, I'll do so ASAP. (I'm using the PC version for now)

You're right about that Agility advance: I'll take just the Simple one and use the 100xp left to take Inquiry [Editing original post to reflect these minor changes, including chainsword. How could I forget that chainsword? Obviously a must-have weapon for the theatrically-minded!]

Just checking through the sheets- make sure to change your fate points to 2/4 to reflect the two you've used! Otherwise I'm liable to forget.
