She found herself honorably discharged, and then unable to find employment anywhere. So, she decided shed try her luck with the commune, and then in space.

I'd imagine a less then ethical scientist/doctor was responsible. Possibly tampering with genome while fetal under the guise of a checkup.

I'm reusing a character that I submitted for an RP that never got off. Tell me if you have any questions.
Just for my own reference:
Spoiler:  Old Character Sheet (click to show/hide)
EDIT: FIXED spelling and stuff.
Do note that, what with being on an asteroid, gravity will be negligible. She could probably sort of fly (or "airswim" I guess) indoors, with, perhaps, the catch of the membranes/wings getting in the way of things (like wearing a standard space suit).
10-4, copied that.

Name: Zero
Type: Natural
Gender: Male
Age:24
Personality: a Professional under most circumstances, he can be described as hard and cruel to those that harm his friends, But his friends see the real, kind, over worked person he is.

Desc: A young man white skin and with blond hair, where it has not been chemicaly burnt off, he has a bar code tattooed to the back of his head.
Background: Zero worked as a high quality assassin for most of his life, and only recently "Died," and is still wanted on Three Planets, he Recently got told by SEVERAL doctors to take some time off, This is it, he had been living with a hippy commune for the Seven years before this all happened

Still seems a bit... bare I guess? Things need to be explained/written out more. Why'd he join that hippy commune on Earth? Does he have any personal beliefs? How is he seeing doctors who tell him to take time off of assassinating while he's under cover?

Sounds pretty good. Though bear in mind there'd probably be a bit of time between showing interest and the project embarking.

If I don't get any more applicants, I'll probably expand the roster, though I still don't feel Zero quite works yet.

Sorry, I just don't see it working. Someone trying to get away from a criminal past could certainly contribute to their decision to join this commune, but it can't be the only reason (and when I mentioned criminals in the OP, TBH I was thinking more like people who have reformed/paid their debt to society but their record holds them back). Everyone there is trying to start a new life, and probably has some kind of vision or daydream to pursue.

@crazyabe
I think adding a dream or goal would be good for deeper character. It’s well established that Zero wants to start a new life as he left his job and faked his own death, but HugoLuman wants you to go in depth to why. Does Zero want to try to atone for his murders by working to improve other lives now? Does he just want to escape a past and live a life without the need to kill or the fear of being killed himself? Or does he feel lost in life and wants to rediscover who he is? Pretty much anything that constitutes as a motivation to leave one way of life to start another.

Edit of My sheet
Name: Vishnu III
Type: Android
Augmentation: Six arms
Gender Male
Age:27
Appearance: Blue Skin, red eyes, bald head.
Background: A servant android trained in most human languages and gardening skills. He once saved Zeros life, which has caused him to rethink his life. Zero freed Vishnu III from his opressive overlords in return, and thus a free Android was made.

@crazyabe you like my augmentation it can fit your char in and it also tells us why a servant android is in a hippy commune. Basically we are in great debt to one another and probably friends, even though our different natures often collide in conflict.

I dooon't think tying your character into Zero is a good idea. Zero has been flat out stated by the GM as not working in his current state.

Yeah, not sure if he needs to be tied to anyone, though if you do, Zero wouldn't work right now. Though having a friend due to that reason would be an interesting dynamic in the game, it'd have to be someone else.

Alright, as I want to get this started this weekend, tomorrow (Friday) is the last day for character revisions. Most of them look pretty good (though there are a few things to tweak about Carla and Jason. Vishnu needs either to be tied to someone else, or have a different backstory (achieved free will on his own, for instance). Zero currently doesn't fit, for previously mentioned reasons. Crazyabe, feel free to come up with a new character, or rework Zero if you're set on him.
