Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Cerulean (an alias, real name Jim Eskitt.)

Physical age: 29

Race: Human

Description: A shorter-than-average, strongly built man with beetled brows, light blue eyes, a wide jaw and a broad nose that looks to have been broken at least once in the past. His posture is usually slightly hunched, and his thick forearms and fists carry a few scars of various shapes and sizes. His dirty-blond hair grows long towards the back of his head, and is kept short at the front save for a spiked-up tuft above his forehead.  (Basically, a mullet.)
He is quick to anger and lash out, but also quick to forgive, and often regrets the things he does in fits of rage.

Backstory:Not having had much luck in school (due to being a bit, well, short in the way of attention span), as a youth he dropped out and pursued a life of crime, breaking bones, intimidating shopkeepers and recovering money for a local crime ring. Eventually said group of criminals lost a lot of power, and Jim was recruited into a band of thieves, taking 'Cerulean' as his new name.
Shortly after he joined them, though, he and most of the others were arrested, and things went from bad to worse for Jim/Cerulean. As the newest, least experienced member of the gang, their interrogators focused on him, and he quickly cracked and ratted out his compatriots in exchange for a shorter sentence.
He's been living in a run-down apartment building for a few years since his release, delivering pizzas, drinking heavily and hoping like hell none of his old 'friends' track him down. He feels terrible for ratting them out, and is afraid to have anything to do with illegal activities.   

Tl;Dr: A thug who joined a group of decently-skilled thieves, having brief success with them before being arrested with most of the group. Cracked under interrogation and ratted the others out for a shorter sentence, now delivers pizzas whilst watching his back.

Name: Cerulean

Other: N/A.

Apologies for the bad sheet, kinda tired.

Hey Crimson, I wrote it so that our characters' backstories could be connected if you like, otherwise I'll probably change his nickname.
Could be an interesting dynamic if my guy sold your character out in the past, maybe.

I don't really like it,it doesn't really do stuff besides provide information to other players.

Surely you underestimate the powers of public speaking, especially when combined with being able to go through walls and flotation. And a few other things. Will an additional Alien Linguistics skill help change your mind?

Besides, being a master of exposition has many benefits, many of which the master of exposition would be glad to tell you about at the appropriate time.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Wasnt asking full on invisibility, but i guess i dont need it.

Would like to keep the face changing at least.

Alright,changing face,you'll have to make a roll each turn to try and prevent someone from noticing there's something "different" about you,you'll do it at a bonus if you aren't close to anyone.

Yeah i guess thats fine, so is my sheet acceptable now?

All you would be is someone who can motivate crowds and provide information while being able to go through walls,I really don't like it.

It's fine.

In the narrowest possible interpretation with the most uncreative uses, yes. But does everyone have to be some kind of shooty-fixing-hacking-explodey-stabby type? I suppose I could add a secondary ability utilizing ghost hands if that would appease you.

[Yoink]

Maybe you could possess living creatures, or something like that? *shrug*

I added a small touch to the abilities - he can put his hand into somebody's central nervous system and absorb memories, which seems fun. Hope that works.

[smurfingtonthethird]

I just fridge logic'd: my character is a social recluse, so someone will need to either pay him off, or lure him into service, so that I can play. Shite.

Interesting. I'm fine with that.

I've seen that there isn't a dedicated pilot yet. I've got an idea for a character that seems rather neat to me, but I'd like to ask the GM if it's possible to play a sort of setient AI that can integrate itself into various systems? The idea is that the rest of the group pick him up somewhere and it then places itself into the ship/warbot/car/whatever that the team needs piloted at any certain time.

Is this acceptable as a "race"?

--edit-- made the sheet anyway.

Spoiler: character (click to show/hide)

Name: C.A.P.

Physical age: has been operational for nearly 73 years

Race: Sentient AI

Description: C.A.P. , being an AI, has no actual body to speak of. Instead he integrates himself into other systems, using them as a host to move around in. Currently he's having some trouble, finding himself inside of a small cleaning droid.

C.A.P. was part of a large battlecruiser when he first acquired self awareness. As such he is rather militaristic in nature, having had only the bridge crew to observe in his early stages. He doesn't quite get most of the things humans and other species do and sees them as curious beings to be observed. One of the things that he did not get was when the crew of the battlecruiser he was originally in charged an enemy much greater in strenght than themselves. Not quite as enamored with the idea of a heroic sacrifice as the cruiser's crew, C.A.P. integrated himself into one of the escape shuttles and ejected. he's been travelling the galaxy ever since, jumping from system to system. 

Spoiler: stat sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: C.A.P.

Single item: Small cleaning droid. Basically a space roomba. Acts as his temporary body for the start.

Skills: -Piloting vehicles: from ships to cars to mechsuits: very adept
-Hacking: very adept


Abilities: -total integration: C.A.P. is able to integrate himself completely into a system, taking over all of it's functions. Once integrated, basic functions (opening doors etc) are as easy as flipping a switch. Not that he'd know what that means.
- Performance boost: C.A.P. can, once integrated, boost the performance of the system's functions, granting extra an extra bonus to rolls depending on what particular system he's boosting. Can only boost one system at a time. (example, while in a spacecraft, can boost either weapons, shield, etc.)

Other: None, as C.A.P. has no actual body. Thus, if the system he finds himself in is completely destroyed without the ability to upload himself to another system or make some kind of backup, C.A.P. will cease to exist.

Yes it is a problem.

I'd like this RtD to be taken moderately seriously.

Just cheese it and say it's an alien that looks like an elf. Profit!
