Here's all the character sheets so far, with some tweaks and comments. Click the quote links for the original versions.
I'll probably need to revise these a bit further.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Looks pretty good, though why is he bald?

Spoiler: Haka (click to show/hide)
Not much to say on this one, looks good.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)
Looks pretty good. As a side note, the biggest city I can find in the Southern EK (as it would have been during his youth) is Omashu, though there are other towns he could have come from.

I'm still not entirely sure how to interpret the "Twisted Luck" thing.

Spoiler: Turo Pakudzi (click to show/hide)
I'll need you to provide a description of his combat style/M-O before I can properly apply the bonuses

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'll need to do some more work on the bonuses here. One thing, though: what the heck would this guy be doing in a seedy bar in the UR? I think we may have to have him show up later.

Character sheet
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This one looks good, though you might get some higher bonuses if he's particularly good with any weapon.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'll need to do some more work on this one, referencing the pm'd sheet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The name thing is still a problem, and one doesn't have to be corrupt to set a bounty on someone who's straight-up murdered so many people. Plus, no matter how generous he is, some poor people are still going to be afraid of him.

Spoiler: Wei Li (click to show/hide)
Looks pretty good. We'll need to adjust the backstory and posessions a bit if he's to own the starting bar, though.

Let me know if you need me to fix something.
Looks good. I'll need to work on it a bit more, though.

When you say have him be good with a particulate weapon would that be like short swords?

Or his sticks. Or one of the other ones he carries.

He's bald because it's a well known fact that bald people are better at fighting. Once he's the best he can be, then he can grow his hair back.

Can it be general short weapons like the sticks and short swords but not for knives or longer weapons
Also will he still keep the +1 defensive combat thing?

Omashu seems reasonable. Also, how many players do you intend to have?

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

The Pilot and their cargo handlers paused when they saw that the entire camp is covered in eldritch runes coated in blood. And rotting monkey corpses everywhere..

They decide that they didn't get paid enough for this..

This is a mission hub game, so a bunch of people can join, but only so many can go on a mission at once, so they might be sitting around for a while if not chosen. Or maybe sidequests.

My character is in a seedy bar? He works at a prison as overseer/warden. I'm a little confused.

The game will start out with all the mercenaries in a seedy bar located in the UR. Though we can always have the party encounter you character later. Probably in the first or second mission.

I could play a anti hero who loves the law? Then join because the law sucks.

Can I give my character specialty in using short weapons like the sticks and short swords without it affecting that defence bonus?
