Finally got caught up via my little cheat. Still 4 years to go before I can retire and this won't be quite the challenge. And today's face to face game was also called off. Our last one was the first weekend in December - going to be 2 months between games at this rate!
The TOY Traveller game finally showed up. While essentially a Traveller game, it is designed to also be a one shot and has some quick and dirty character generation. Let's see how that works!
Step 1: Bioscan
The standard 6 attributes. 66637A. A little below average in physical stats, not the brightest bulb in the room but an average education, and high up in the social world. Rolling even, and the gender reveal is: it's a girl!
Part 2: Personal Audit
Step 2: Career. As there are 6 careers, I roll an academic first. While you think that a low intelligence may not work well for an academic, I'm going with her parents pushed her and with her social background, she manages to at least learn by rote if nothing else. As such, she picks up Medical and Biology.
Step 3: Terms served. 1d3 = 2 terms served.
Step 4: Skills acquired. She picks up Administration, Poison in her academic profession. The poison may have been her mixing up a few things and finding out the hard way.
Step 5 Skill Levels A little d6 table to indicate the skill levels for each skill:
- Medical 3
- Biology 1
- Administration 1
- Poison 1
Very medically learned, the rest she knows and is proficient at least.
Step 6: Goals There are 5 tables to choose from: Revenge, Discovery, Heartbreak, Belevolence and Adventure. Rolling a d5 (aka d10 / 2) she is there for benevolence. You get 2 additional skills, and I'll just roll: Planning, Negotiations at level 0. Guess she has heard about the harsh reality of Toy and is wanting to rescue someone or to help. The gladiator fights are brutal.
Step 7: Name Sirena Santos was always special in her parent's eyes. Though slow sometimes, her angelic personality made even the harshest person smile. Always wanting to help people, she managed to get through school and pass and become a medical worker. Though she was near the bottom of her class, she always tries hard. At the starport, she was the medic on hand when a survivor from Toy came out of cold sleep. He was badly wounded not from the not-quite-safe hibernation tubes, but from what appeared to be a brutal beating. Hearing the horror of the Arena, she decided she needed to go there to help those poor unfortunate people.
Sirena Santos
