Thanks. I put it in the backstory that the character was slightly malnourished as a child and had some doubts that he'd pass muster on the astronaut physical exams, so those numbers fit well with the image.
Both of our characters seem to have "malnourished" as a background trait. Do you think you could change yours to a childhood illness instead to avoid too many similarities? If not then I have come up with a Team Name idea:
Expendable Ackras Termination Squad: EATS

I think Khaiden wins then.

Still, it's a similarity they can bond over to promote team spirit and syner...damn that soul was full of buzzwords.

It cost Foxhound's medic Jon 100 Credits* for his body. Said body has demonstrated the capacity to sprint nonstop, carry the equivalent of a gunship mounted vulcan cannon And use it. Preform the equivalent of bullettime. Shoot lasers. Shoot rockets. Preform surgery with an integrated kit. Shoot tranqs. And quite a few others. This is a Military Grade Custom Full Body Transplant we're talking. Probably the most invasive surgery ever created. Even puts bits in the brain to aid processing.

There isn't rejection. This is something Akras specializes in. They're a biotech, cybernetics, and robotics focused megacorp. Frankly the body isn't very vulnerable to many things. Insanity is purely on a person to person basis. If the person who gets the aug is insane then that's his problem and not Akras's. The body itself won't induce insanity.

I'd say maybe by the third mission you'll rake in enough for the upgrade in personal funds if your squad really preforms above and beyond.

*A credit is the equivalent of around 250 irl US Dollars.

Also there's an edit button. You can edit afterthoughts into your posts rather than making more posts.

Squad name tends to come after you accomplish a few missions and comes with a name related perk.

Everyone, please don't forget to get your FREE first aid kit: if you needed it, you'll be glad the medic can use it; if you get insta-killed, the medic will gladly try to get it should someone else need it (who might be your own next character if you're unlucky enough). ;)

@vkiNm and/or Kevak: please add it to the template on the OP so people won't pass it by.
I also made a little mistake regarding the toolkit: there's no first aid toolkit on the list. There is, however, a surgery toolkit; if I get an advanced one can I perform surgery at +2 instead of +0, would it have a penalty, or one can't even attempt it without the skill? If the former, I'll change the kit; otherwise, I'd rather have a free basic kit, and exchange the BDU and vest for an assault suit.

Advanced kits provide greater boni compared to basic kits.

So it does, but can I use it without any points on the skill?
You know what? On second thoughts, I'd like to change it to the free basic kit and exchange the BDU and vest for an assault suit after all; I should try to improve my chances to actually survive long enough to get those points in surgery.

Alrighty. And yes, you can use kits without skill, just it might not end well depending on the roll.

That works. We went over it in pm's already. Ye could technically get 5 credits more gear if ya wanted though. Or save those credits.
