CosmicGamer

SOC-14 1K
Just rolled this character tonight using MGT. The first character died in their 3rd term (yes, I use the Iron Man option) threw out the second character when the characteristics roll was 364547 then threw this:
===================================================
Admiral Francisca Jane Mckee, Adjutant of the Regina Fleet
Initial characteristics 7B9A95
Final characteristics 6A9DAE Age 46
Navy Line Officer 7 terms, O6 Admiral

Bio:
McKee is dedicated to her career and the Imperium. Any personal time she has is usually spent training and practicing her Blade skills. Superiors she is close to call her Mack in private and the few members of her scattered family she is still in contact with call her Frankie. Superiors and subordinates both respect McKee and she is always there for them but she has no close friends or any romantic relationships.

Mckee plans her leave around tournaments and if all the trophies are an indicator, Frans' agility and cunning have helped her become one of the best Bladesmen in the subsector.

Dear Admiral Viscount ?:

Would need to know your Name first, I mean that's some Title you're swinging there, or at least Social Standing...

And former Admiral? I mean I do have a fine, *grins, something almost but not quite pushing the line to leer* Captain already, however, I do have need of Advisors, and Smallcraft Pilots, etc.

Also, where would we send the prospectus for Blue Smoke Spacers: We get You There in a Style like No Other!

And your Resume is quite impressive in it's own right.

Please forward all correspondence to my Suite at the Feri-Down Ritz.
:cool:

I'm not sure how to handle a character with a high social characteristic. SEE THIS POST Maybe you could lend some assistance.

Depending on your adventures maybe something could be worked out. Maybe while getting acquainted with the Admiral at her retirement dinner you offer her passage and she gets caught up in whatever adventures occure.
Please forward all correspondence to my Suite at the Feri-Down Ritz.
:cool:
You are approached by the manager of the Feri-Down Ritz. "I was instructed to give you this personally Sir." and he hands you a sealed document

The manager waits for your instructions or to be dismissed.

EDIT:
Because of travel times and such, this is actually a diner for all the high ranking Military officers who served in the subsector and retired this last year. It's a good chance for rubbing elbows with the nobles, governors, and other powerful people. They usually plan several weeks of activities and get together to conduct business. Many Nobles also plan for weddings, inaugurations and other ceremonies to occur during this time. (many bastard noble children are born 9 months after this event)

Umm, if the Admiral Count is asking then whatever a High Social Personage can afford....and Blade-5 and Leadership-1? Really, do you like to Duel perhaps..? I could use a Duelist/Champion in My Service..*grins the Patented Noble Grin*

And I would go with what Aramis said, but you'd better be legal with those heaters, hey..
I usually roll a character every night to get more familiar with MGT and It helps me find things I may not have noticed at first, like this armor question, which is not for the Admiral.

The Admiral does duel professionally and a little research will indicate she has won several tournaments. She certainly would not back down from a challenge but would suggest they settle things in a professional tournament.

Although currently being processed for retirement, the Admiral will retain her rank.

Mckee plans to do a little traveling before contemplating her long term goals for the future. She is keeping an ear to the ground for any world leaders looking to start up a local Navy. She has already been given authorization by the Imperium to do so, with the understanding that her Unit would be subject to direct Imperial control in emergencies.

The Admiral most likely would not be a long term member of your crew. She would, of course, readily assist you with any Imperial duties you may be tasked with - possibly even being assigned to do so by higher powers. She also would enjoy the hospitality of your fine vessel and assisting in any adventurous good cause while considering what her future has in store.

>Vreep< Countess Admrial.

*The Countess Admiral McKee finds this on her tablet, when she checks 'inbox'*

Dear Countess McKee,

It would be an Honor, both as a Member of the Peerage, but also as a fellow Sailor ETSed Myself.

Please Accept My Sincere Apologies for using E-contact, but pen and paper are hard to come by right now as I am on a Mission and a Cutter.

Yours Most Humbly,
Magnus von Thornwood

I was going through my character generation notes and noticed the following.

I took two skill rolls from my events instead of 2 benefit rolls.

So I subtracted these skill rolls:
Melee and Pilot

The 2 new mustering rolls:
I rolled a second Ships boat which gives a Pilot (small craft) skill.
I rolled weapon again and took it as another Blade skill.

Wow! What are the odds of regaining the exact same skills I lost?

I added homeworld and background skills to the original post.

Question, should I take one additional skill for initially becoming an officer (MGT)? I rolled another level of Leadership.

Also, I noticed I was short one benefit roll.
Detailed Mustering: 7 for terms, 3 for rank, one for gambling, one for Term 5 event
+1 int, cutlass, ships boat, +1 int, Blade skill, +2 soc, +1 Int, $5,000, $20,000, ships boat, Blade skill
I rolled another +2 Soc - That would make it a 16/G Social..... What do you think? Already started playing her as a countess. Re-roll? Ignore the benefit I missed? Consider it "excess Social Standing" (MGT page #35) and take ship shares?

I haven't updated / edited the initial post. Waiting to see what you think...

How about

NEWS REPORT: A certain retiring Countess/Admiral has been seen adorning the arm of a certain 'most eligable' Emperor on several public occasions. Could the announcement of a new Empress be in the near future?

(The Daily Rag pays 5000 Cr for newsworthy inforamation or pictures ... All communication is kept strictly confidental.) :)

Even if you are "just friends", being seen dating the Emperor has got to be worth a +2 Soc.

Ummm, theres this thing....

By Canon *stops a moment to Praise Holy Canon* Umm, sorry, anyway, IIRC the only Social G in the Imperium is the Royal Famili of the Emperor and that's it....offically....really the bastard child of Strephon....one does hear Rumors, but really, who knew. :smirk:

Otherwise, I'd have the Player convert to something....unless they wanted to be a Distaff Member of Social Rank G....could be worse than my self appointed/Referee Sanctioned Job...wow.

Or, yeah, do what the book and the Ref says, me I am just letting you know the Daarnulud Canon. *wonders what the Bilanidin for Canon is, wanders of in search of robject and GKA* ummm be back later....
 
a Certain Baron....
