Character Creation

Create your own thread for your character and use this template for the stats. Ideally put a link to your character in your forum signature, then it is easier to jump directly to the sheet from any given post of yours.

Background:
Free text about your character. Describe his/her looks, behaviour, ticks and quirks. Do also talk about his/her past and the motivation why he/she is living the life of an adventurer. I would also prefer if the character has some goals that drive him/her and shape his/her behaviour.

Regarding the character creation you are free to create your own character. Just use orokos.com (this is the defacto standard on this forum, as far as I know) for all the rolls so we can all track it.

If you would like to do something unusual, do get back to me, but if there is reasonable "justification" for it, I'm likely going to go with it.

If anyone needs help creating a character I am happy to help. The rules are freely available here: Stars Without Number Revised Free Edition

Quick question about Background. The Recruitment post intro implies we have some sort of amnesia. How much do we remember?

Do you want us to roll our stats or can we use the standard array of scores?

Either way. Both are legal approaches as for the rules.
I personally find the rolling more exciting, but of course that is up to you. The array is a bit more predictably, obviously.

Right, great question, I forgot to mention this. Yes, you do remember everything about yourself, but you do not remember the most recent events, so you do not remember where you are, why you are there and who the others are. Basically you can decide yourself what the last thing is that you remember. You do however remember everything about yourself and what makes out you as a character.

I'm going to roll mine. Probably a mistake, though, lol. We'll see what I end up with. Let it serve as a cautionary tale or an inspiration to the rest of the team.

Or you end up with the hyper intelligent, super-humanly strong pretty-boy/girl with all 18 - we shall see. Hence the excitement.

It went pretty well, but I'm really glad you can change one stat to a 14 when you roll them.

So I got an agile pilot with lots of endurance that is kind of reckless. Pretty average otherwise.

I've rolled a warrior who's got a merchant background.

Nice. So we'll need another expert or two and we're good to go.

We're did you post the character and rolls? It doesn't show me any new character except moarhairs in the thread.

Hi all! excited to join this group!

I decided to roll for my stats:
https://orokos.com/roll/848838
Well I got a plus 1 to DEX, which is nice, the -1 con isn't ideal, but I could use my free 14 to patch that up (minus con is always super evocative to me though... (though not exactly optimal )). My mental scores have potential.

I was leaning towards playing a sneaky-type character, and I think that these rolls would work for that.
