First attempt at a T5 character generation, and I'm not sure I did it correctly.
I kept goingfor the personals to get a better intelligence to imnprove his
ability to get promoted, it never worked out.
So, a large and surprisingly quick guy from a rich, bureaucratic system with a college degree.
He played grav-ball through out college, with a minor in cooking. Having a basic trading skill,
Barry decides to try for the local Merchant's Guild. He fails to enlist the first year, but
the recruiter remembers this large man the following year, and he manages to get on board
with B'All Shipping, a local shipping concern. He manages to get a promotion in his 1st term,
and gains a ship share. Already in the upper middle class, he befriends upper management and
starts moving in a higher social crowd, picking up good information about trading. His travels
this 1st term put him into a gunnery seat where he learned the basics of ship's weapons, as well
as stand-by on the comms.
The next term Barry gets re-enlisted, and manages another pair of ship shars from his management
friends. He has moved to Remashirahim Shipping this term, a friendly rival. Apparently not
overly friendly, as he does not make a promotion this term. Apparently this is an even higher
class operation, and he gains in social standing. Working the system, he picks up the intracacies
of dealing with a bureaucracy and learns even more valuable trading skills. He gains another two
ship shares from the firm as he leaves in good standing.
His 3rd term, Barry goes back to B'All Shipping. He manages to hurt himself but has a full recovery.
Must have been an old grav-ball injury flare up! He barely manages a promotion, despite his
continued interaction with upper management and some of the backers. He tends to stay more in
the galleys this last few years, picking up interesting cooking methods from various systems. He
also works the gym a lot more, worrying about that last injury flare up.
Finally, Barry decides to leave the service and go out on his own. B'All Shipping gives him an early
retirement package of Cr30,000 and a wafer jack, and all the gym work outs have given him a bit more
endurance as well.
