Tash or Tash'vir (which roughly translates to Snake) as she likes to be called is a compact female Tau, muscled but slight. She keeps her recon armour and weapons dirty (camouflaged) when in the field but always functional. Her dark red armour is much lighter than the standard fire caste warriors, allowing her a high degree of stealth. When not 'getting dirty' as she likes to call it and in more relaxed settings she will often be found in a black body glove with just her pistol at her side. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is always honest and straight talking, often with an amused expression on her dark blue face as she regards the tomfoolery of the Imperials.  


Background


XP: 50/9950

XP spend, dice rolls etc...:

A few questions

A bunch of questions for the GM.
- For my backstory and an excellent way for me to get an 'in' to the group, can I be the Rogue Traders cook? I plan to spend more xp in cook to warrant this.
- Advancing Trade Cook is not in my available skills to buy so how much xp is it to advance? At the very least I'd like +10, but ideally +20 so the costs for both would be great (I already have Trade - Cook cos I'm a 'ling)
- As we're advanced a bit what additional equipment can I get/roll for? I'm cool with giving you a list and you approving or vetoing as judged.

One for the group.
- As part of being a Void Master I get to choose one of; Mastery of Space, Mastery of Gunnery, Mastery of Augurs or Mastery of Small Ships. Which would be most useful to the team?

I believe last time Olivia or Sammus handled gunnery - Sammus is very good at shooting things, so that might not be as important. Mastery of Space sounds like something the Navigator will be doing, but before I just shoot off into the dark, what are the benefits of each?

Also, just a quick look over and XP expenditure should be in the format of [remaining XP]/[Spent XP] and the total should be 10,000.

It allows me to reroll a failed test on...
Mastery of Space = maneuver actions
Mastery of Gunnery = shooting acitons
Mastery of Augurs = detection rolls for starship
Mastery of Small Ships = pilot rolls for ships that fall within 'small'

Your Ratling has become a Tau and I love it.

Security is its own skill. I believe we were playing the game with Demolitions as its own skill as well. Since having Tech Use handle everything makes it OP AF.

I've dropped 'New Allies' talent as its something I might get later on once 'I've got to know you gue’la

Instead I've taken more perception and intelligence.

Can I have a set of best quality recon armour, it will give me a AP of 5 which ain't all that)? Not much more I want... perhaps some different grenades for my under-slung launchers; the Tau equivalent of Krak, Smoke & plasma (2 of each) ok?
