[Powder Miner]

((DEFINITELY will be making a sheet soonish))

[TCM]

Character appearance:Cyborg eyes.
et:
Name: Regalia Hawthorne.
Race:cyborg ((cybernetic eyes))
Gender:identifys as female
Age:19.
Skills:fencing and entertainment.(Each character is allowed to start with 2 Skills which they will receive a +2 towards when performing relevant Actions. Over time, these Skills can be sharpened and new Skills can be lear
Artifact:A solar powered jukebox with millions of songs!
((Gives the greatest jams increases all rolls by two but it is incrediblely heavy and can't be moved by hand.))
This better

This is better. The only question I have is the jukebox, are you saying that when it plays music it increases all rolls done in the surrounding area by +2? That's sort of broken and will lead to everyone crowding around the juxebox all the time: Need to perform a medical procedure! To the juxebox! Want to analyze a new plant? To the juxebox! Want to make some clothes? To the juxebox! Etc. It would be fine if it just did something like improved the mood levels of everyone that could hear it. That would be a useful tool, as keeping morale up for a colony is highly important, provided everyone generally likes the music; if the colony turns out to be split among country music fans and hip hop enthusiasts, a jukebox will likely be the root cause for the undoing of them

Age: 19 (technically not a child, right?)

In this setting, yes, I'll say that the technical condition of "Child" ends at age 18, and due to medical advances, "Elder" status starts at age 75 and the average human lifespan is upwards of 100 years, note that is a typical lifespan on Earth and not necessarily what will be the average on an unexplored planet.

What would you guys like the timeframe for an average turn to be? A month? A season-cycle/quarter-year? A full year?

[spümpkin]

I'd probably say a month, cause that gives us enough time to travel to places, but its not too long.

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Character appearance: Tall, scrawny, always wears blue jeans and a t-shirt of some sort. Has metal sticking out of his arms.
Name: Alex shatter
Race: Human
Gender: male
age: 22
Skills: Unarmed combat, engineering
Artifact: Special blades in his arms he can use in combat.

[Nakéen]

I'm all in for a month too. Of course if need be, we could make exceptionally longer turn.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Adam Red
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance: There are nothing unusual in this Caucasian teenager with black hair and brown eyes.
Skills: Programming (Being bored of having no worthy opponents for games in his console he coded an AI to compete with it. AI is not sentient... or it is good at pretending) 
Artifact: Handheld game console with a powerful self-learning AI inside. AI's name is Oppo, shortened from opponent)

Is it OK?

Looking forward to a quick death from an alien virus.

Month is fine by me.

[TCM]

Red is fine, companion AI/robots are acceptable Artifacts in most cases.

I want to also note that while children start with only one skill, they can learn additional skills over time like anyone else  even before adulthood; similarly, adults can learn additional skills and even Elders.

In case anyone wanted more in-depth info: Skills progress in various stages, starting out with a 50% chance at a +1 bonus to a relevant action, then a constant +1, then constant +1 and a 50% chance to get a +2, etc. Thus, everyone's starting skills are by default level 4. Every additional level gained is exponentially more difficult to achieve; anyone can achieve a level 1 Cooking with enough time and practice but only an elite handful of Level 10 cooks or higher are alive at any time.

[Wozzy]

How will that work for more specific skills?

Take Engineering and welding. They both start with the same roll at the start, but the welding skill will increase faster and be higher, right?

That is correct, but what do you mean by "higher"?

[Wozzy]

As in, a higher level toward the end of our lives.

[TCM]

It all depends. There's no skill decay but if you don't practice wleding that often while someone hones their engineering skill all their lives, they could be equal if not higher levels above you. It's not likely but possible.
Also, this assumes that your lives are similar in duration.

[Powder Miner]

Do we know that it's a swamp? I was planning on making a swamp expert from the bayou

[Urist Reborn]

Name: Ilyena
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Appearance: Static makes most people's hair stand on end; it makes Ilyena's grow or shrink. She has hair which takes on the color of the light striking it, as a result of being colored purely through diffraction. Other than this, she is about 1.7m tall, and has deeply tanned skin.
Skills: Big Game Hunting, Piezoelectrics
Artifact: Piezoelectric Bolas - a weapon of her own creation, upon contact the bolas release a burst of electricity proportional to the force of impact, as a result of the compression of the outer material. This static release also results in the deformation of a smaller internal piezoelectric crystal with a long relaxation time period, which opens a circuit to deliver a continuous electric shock to the target.
