Looks like we have intros for all the characters, I will try to get a chance later tonight to review the state of everyone's builder characters; I think the major thing for everyone was making sure we had relationship points buttoned down so that we could start rolling that as we go deeper into Locke. Now's a great time for final touches.
My summary of stuff still to fill out before we are done-done with chargen (all based on what I see in the builder, to have a solid reference point going forward): Everyone --- * Arc stuff. I called it out for each character, below, and then added this foreword realizing that the builder must not prompt you for this as it's not an official rules/mechanic thing, and might not even give you a good place to put it? Seems like another thing to write in to the Background section. I like putting an arc to paper right away as it helps both of us get a feel for where the character's individual motivation may lie. * It looks to me that the builder successfully did the builder things and made characters with no obvious errors, so yay. I think we're ready to continue with Locke, just specifically mentioning that I would like to do the first relationship connection roll soon here to get some dice guidance on the story, so filling in those sections is the one big thing for most of the characters. * To highlight it for everyone else, Nia's relationship points in the Background section is exactly what I was thinking for how to do relationships (and how to capture them on the sheet). Nia (Murph) --- * I didn't see a Character Arc anywhere, it would be good to call out what you think is your character's current narrative outside of the goings-on of the group. Asal (Christian) --- * You should pick a second descriptor; reminder that it's either a second personality descriptor if Asal is human, or a species descriptor if not. * Asal should pick an Arc, same note as above. * Ditto for relationships. Maybe not the vibe you're going for, but for some reason I get the sense of positive relationship with the Burclynth Company due to the explorer and decipher bits. * If you need more factions, feel free to write up a prototype and I'll work with it. Dax (Ozzyie) --- * Arc, same note again. * Relationship points need some filling out and coding; I think elsewhere I surmised the family business as House Magissa-related --- you could go with that or your own direction with existing or new factions, either way you need to allocate two more points. Gegren (Mike) --- * Arc and relationships, notes as above about both. -- bss (Brian S. Stephan) | https://bss.zone/ | GPG: 0x80895FCB
