Okay guys, just in case it wasn't clear already, the "Explorator" is a techpriest, not a catchall term for Adventurer.  These concepts would be much better served by a different class, namely Pilgrim or Arch-Militant in these two cases.  Also, I am demanding some kind of character description beyond just answering the questions.  Doesn't have to be WD's fuckhuge novella, but I need something to work with.

And all of this is rather premature anyway, since I can't really get started for a couple weeks as the semester wraps up.  By the way, I still need suggestions for planets and such to put in the sector.

Glorious IV. An icy coated world, frigid enough for there to be natural pockets of liquid, and sometimes solid, nitrogen. A very cratered planet, due to there being little atmosphere higher up. Small mining settlements exist inside the deeper craters, where the ground level approaches the core enough for advanced heating systems to manage the rest. The atmosphere is also thick enough down in the craters to allow habitation with only minor terraforming. The weak atmosphere prevents larger ships from docking, because they would burn away what little is there. Trade is done through ships dropping off cargo in non-propelled containers, and the mining settlements use railgun/gravity slingshots/appropriate tech to launch highly valueable ores into high orbit.

I vote for WD being captain. I want my captain to be dedicated, dedicated like WD.

Spoiler: APPLICATION: ENGINEER (click to show/hide)

Demetrius Carron, born to a lowly family on a backwater mining world he had 3 choices in life, become a miner, or join the Imperial Guard or a Rogue traders crew. Growing up he was good with mechanical things, building and fixing things was his hobbies as he grew up. For a short time he mined with his father and brothers before him he yearned for more. He left for the largest spaceport and hooked up with the first trader that would take him as an engineer. Preferring to be called by his last name, Carron is afraid of combat and injuries. He is truthful and down-to-earth. He doesn't aspire to become famous, rich or successful. All he dreams is to live through life and see far sights.

Actually, to me he sounds more like a ship's crewman.  A Voidmaster would fit well, and the ship does need some.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Is there some sort of link to class descriptions?

[Aqizzar]

I'll just throw some up while I'm here.

Arch-Militant - What it sounds like; consummate warriors who lead the crew into battle, especially during raids and boarding actions.  They can be super bad-asses themselves, and also gain leadership abilities.

Pilgrim - Priests, preachers, chaplains, whathaveyou.  They can do a little bit of everything except technical stuff, and are especially good at rallying the crew and bolstering morale, as well as fighting demons.

Voidmaster - The sailors, dregs, and squabs who seize the helm, train the guns, batten the hatches, douse the fires, and when necessary fight and die like the dogs they are.

Explorator - Techpriests who handle all the technical jobs too complicated for the Voidmasters.  Also have lots of weird Mechanicus abilities that make them useful in odd situations, including investigation and combat.

Seneschal - Bean counters, librarians, spies, and quartermasters.  More cerebral than technical, handling any job that involves lots of information.  The right-hand, power-behind-the-captain type guys.

Astropath - Wizards and sorcerers who do all the spellcasting type stuff.  Their first job is to communicate across space as a living radio, and get lots of communication/scrying powers along with normal mage stuff.

Navigator - Weird specialist sort of psyker who combines some jack-of-all-trades adventuring ability with even more powerful/weak glass-cannon type sorcery.

[Cthulhu]

Also note that Navigators are the only ones who can navigate the warp, so if I die you're boned.

Don't let me die.

[Ampersand]

Only boned until we find another one anyway. Besides, the ships can make calculated Warp jumps with their onboard computers. Just not very far. Or safely.

Also finished my stuff on the previous page.

Johnathan looked over from his cover, a large shrapnel piece of some anonymous vehicle, it's usefulness reduced to hiding dirt such as himself. a small group of figures stood only feet away. John's hands twitched, threatening to reach for his gun. His leg were loaded like springs, screaming to be freed, to run towards his enemies. But he stood still, because he could not let those who hunt him see him. He did not know who they were, but they were always there. different names, different face, but John knew they where there. Them. Always there, always looking for him. But they are not going to get them. No no no, John is always one step ahead of Them. Hands twitched, wishing to envelop around their soft throats. The others continued to stand there, unknowing of the danger nearby. John reached down for his gun, it's handle smooth. His only friend. it speaks to him. Kill Them. Kill Them. John smiled, that's what he wanted to hear. He sprung from his spot, leaving the sanctuary that the cover provided, his eye wild and mouth wide as the sounds of hell escaped him.

His hands twitched.

[Cthulhu]

Well yeah, if you want to spend six years STL-ing back to a port to find a new navigator because you can't spend more than an hour in the warp without hitting a warp shoal(And those totally exist), splitting your hull open, and having things go all Event Horizon on your sorry self because you let poor li'l me die.

[Aqizzar]

Doesn't it say in several places that virtually all Imperial ships (with their crews of thousands) carry a whole family of Navigators in their own little penthouse, so the whole ship isn't screwed if one of them bites it?

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Okay change my last one to Voidmaster.

[Cthulhu]

But what if a macrobattery shell the size of a house hits the penthouse?

Game over man, game over.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Also can you guys help me actually make my character stats and stuff.
