Game mechanics, dice rolls, and other crap

I would lay back a bit on how well known this guy is in his IG career. A wildly popular and successful High Born Lord General would be a target sign on him. Same thing with his meeting a reporter of some kind. This is a man who would be trying to stay out of the spot light. Maybe he changed his name or fixed up his ID to make him look like someone else. His troubles could be from his success, he's too good at what he does so people always seem to find him. Again, maybe, this is why he came to the Inq. To get away from his past and build a new future. IF... he was as popular as you say then he wouldn't be able to fit into our current line of work which is going about unseen and very much not noticed.

[Tsukiyumi]

Well, I can safely say that while people might notice my (soon to be worked-up - sorry guys ) character, they'll quickly un-notice him.

[Deepcrush]

I was bored so I put some more info in on my character bio. I was thinking about writing some short stories for my new world. Just figured this is a good place to work up a social type and history.

[Tsukiyumi]

Right on.

Where've you been, man? Job hunting?

[Mikey]

Wow. Just a little bit of detail, huh, Deep?

As far as how public Monroe's char is - becoming a hero, publicly saying how he wants to root out heresy, may be a PR move for him and his family... one which could backfire when he's actually put into the fray. Either way, I'd guess it's up to Monroe. Once he's on board, though, he'll realize that the Inquisition demands more subtlety.

Well of course, can't be spying on people for too long. Gets old after a while.

The more detail, the better the character. Plus, I was thinking about writing a few short stories about the campaiqns his been in. His rise through the ranks, his and his peoples troubles with the Commissars and maybe what moved him to leave the Army and join the Inq as a SpecOp.

I'm thinking a large part of our mission time is going to be spent just trying to keep this High Born alive.

[Mikey]

Meh. The state of his soul is my concern; the state of his body, not so much.

[Deepcrush]

My concern is the state of my paycheck!

Captain's pay is only nice if I'm alive to spend it.

Well I was thinking regional popularity. Tis a big Galaxy.

[Deepcrush]

True, big galaxy. But he's still just one High Born with a lot of people trying to kill him. I have a feeling we'll be running into a few problems here and there. Though, it may be fun since we'll have to keep on our toes.

Well if you want I can cut the fame part back. I was just trying t think of a way to make him worth to be with the Inquisition.

[Mikey]

If it were me, I'd just cut back on the 'talking to the press" bit. Other than that, I don't see a problem.

Name: Stig
Age: 30 (approx)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 200lbs
Eyes: Grey
Hair: Blonde
Skin: Tan
Build: Muscular

Homeworld: A penal world somewhere in the Calixis Sector

Equipment:

Axe
Flintlock
Knife (made from an animal thigh bone)
Grox-skin breeches
Fur lined vest
Grox hide boots
Grox hide rucksack

Past:

Stig was born the only son of an Imperial Guardsmen who had been condemned to a penal world and a local he had married. The world had long since descended into a feral hell that was occasionally visited by ships dropping off new convicts. Stig grew up listening to the stories of his fathers Guard service and thanks to his dad being well travelled and (relatively) educated, he was one of the few natives to be able to read and write.

When he was 18 his mother and father were raped and killed by a neighbouring tribe. Fortunately he had been hunting grox at the time and survived. He spent the next 12 or so years plotting revenge and killing the rival tribe one by one when they left the village. How he came to the service of the Inquisition or how he even got off the planet is not known, indeed Stig himself is less than clear on how it happened. He did manage to hang on to his father's old Iflintlock and an axe he had made out of a discarded brush clearing device though.

[Mikey]

Glad to have you aboard! And if you can survive as an orphan on a death world, I guess you're tough enough for the Inquisition.

As it stands, I'm guessing we're waiting for the new year to get underway (read: Rochey's bio.)
