General New Year, New Character Challenge

MThompson016 · Jan 3, 2021

I saw this idea on a MeWe post from last month I took a while to find, but here's the idea: I'm going to hand generate a roleplaying character each day for the month of January 2021. The person who posted it has a very different idea about it than me, but let's go for a variety of options to enjoy. Here are my rules for it:

I can use any physical books I posses for that system
No use of website character generators, or programs
Using electronic systems for record keeping, is permitted
Generation one or two days ahead is acceptable
Document all dice rolls
There's also a chance I may be on a business trip at the end of the month, in that case, I've got both Starter Traveller and Traveller 5.10 in PDF available to me, and I can throw 2d6 in my luggage without a problem. I'm looking forward to this, and it should be worth the time.

Here's my blogpost that started this off for me.

I did a quick update on the 30th as well. I'll be putting my character postings up in individual posts, and if anyone wants to participate who isn't feel free to add to to the thread.

New Year, New Character Challenge 1 of 31

Using the format from TTB:

Sieward Shvets, Army Lt. Colonel, 3 1/2 terms Age 32
UPP 588889 Cr22,000
Admin-1, Computer-1, Grav Vehicle-1, Rifle-1, SMG-3, Tactics-1
Dagger, Low Passage

Quick bio: enlisted from his homeworld into the Army at age 18, selected for commission that term, promoted to Captain. Certified SMGx2, Rifle, Tactics, Computer, and trained in endurance, reenlistment accepted. Took second term, promoted to Major. Certified Grav Vehicle, SMG, and reenlistment accepted. Took third term, promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, certified in Administration, and took endurance training, and reenlistment accepted. Fourth term, injured on operations, invalidated out at age 32.

As a generic character, I can keep him as is. If I was to play him in a game, I'd spend some of the money to purchase some equipment. He's eminently playable, being capable working with computers and administration, as well as in a combat situation, with tactics and a very good SMG skill. Rolls, as my practice, are below the break.

New Year, New Character Challenge 2 of 31

My first GURPS Traveller Character in the challenge, Professor Ivar Bjornson Sundelin, PhD. He's a Sword Worlder Philologist, who speaks most human languages in the Spinward Marches, and several dead ones as well. A native of Anduril/Sword Worlds, he had a fairly standard education until his youthful talent for languages was discovered. At that point, he attended the University of Graahavne for extensive instruction in modern languages and many of their immediate predecessors. Shortly after this, he served four undistinguished years in the Anduril System Defense Squadron as a communications officer and interpreter, adding Zhodani and Darrian to his existing linguistic catalog of Sagamal, Anglic, Modern Vilani, Icelandic, English, and Old High Vilani. He returned to the University as a graduate student, studying the literatures and development of his academic languages until age 30, when he was recruited to the Linguistics faculty of the Greven Henrik II Universitet, as a Reader in Modern languages. He continued his work a GH-II-U until age 45, when he lost out the Chair. The next year, he was recruited by the Imperial University of Mora, initially as a Visiting Professor. For the past decade, he has been working in the Imperium as an authority in Sword Worlds literature and languages. He recently retired, and may be encountered in almost any campaign in the Imperium. If he is used as a non-player character, he is an older man who is almost indestructible no matter what goes on, while running around looking for obscure documents. It is even possible he is on Terra, reading of ancient authors like Tolkien, Howard, Anderson, de Camp, Dusany, and Zelazny. Physically, he's a shorter man, having a narrow face with bright blue eyes, and close-cropped white hair.

New Year, New Character Challenge 3 of 31

Another from GURPS Traveller, meet Baroness Natalia Tomer Conti, Imperial Diplomatic Corps. She's part of the Imperial Advisory Team on Hofud/Sword Worlds (SM 1524) in 1120, working to try and avoid a bloody war. A member of an aristocratic family on Vilis/Vilis (SM 1119), her professional background was in various diplomatic posts around the Spinward Marches since 1103, when she graduated from the University of Rhylanor Graduate School of Interstellar Affairs. Since then, she's been assigned to various various posts in the Darrian Confederation, Sword Worlds, Federation of Arden, and various independent systems in the DMZ. Now, she's found herself in the Border Worlds, trying to keep the Hofud People's Army from starting another war. As herself, she's an attractive, tall woman with short, dark hair.

Take a look on my blog for her full stats and a secret!

College, Medical School, 3 Terms Cr27500
Admin-2, Broker-1, Grav-Vehicle-1, Jack of All Trades-1, Liason-2, Medic-3, Steward-2
Two High Passages

Classic Traveller, made using the "Merchant Prince" Special Supplement from JTAS 12

A native of Thengin/Sabine (Deneb 0518), he attended a local university and medical school before getting hired on to Tukera as a junior medic. His initial training consisted of taking care of passengers aboard one of Tukera's Long Liners, as well as interfacing with planetary customs authorites to grant free pratique and ensuring the ship was following customs regulations. His other early term included was also involved in standard, boring runs through Rhylanor and Sabine Subectors, where he studied to pass the exam for ship's medic. Finding shipboard life suited him, he had a chance to be loaned to Akerut for a year as a junior medic, but studying passenger services again. He then found himself as the medic aboard a charter, running some noble families to Vlad for a year and back. Uneventfully back to liner duty, he passed his exam for Chief Purser. He then was assigned to an exploratory mission, into the Extents. Hitting his stride, he was up for another hitch despite feeling some of the effects of age. An unprofitable time in Speculative Trade was followed by time at a surface station, and a year at the Rhylanor Tukera College of Business. As a final tour, he managed to get an assignment to a speculative venture, where he managed to make some money out of it. Thoroughly tired of the Tukera life, he's now ready to start on his own.

Cr 160,000, Foil, 5 Shares for a Yacht, 3 General Ship Shares

Lord Theodore is the older brother of MM1 Lady Juliana Brand of the INS Boxing Kangaroo. He attended the Kelvin Imperial University, taking a degree in Public Administration, and the Officer's Training Corps. Upon graduation, he was commissioned into the Saagii Hussars, where he spent four years commanding initially a platoon of Intrepid Gav Tanks, then the Squadron EW platoon, before serving on the staff of the squadron. He was released form his commission to the Army Reserve in 1104, where he began work in the Imperial Ministry of Commerce's Banking Section. Quickly advancing, his keen eye for business lead him into a conflict with Baroness Jada Seidel of Bellin, one of the other nobles in the region, but he was promoted. Another excellent period, and despite making an enemy of Sir Torston Larson of Larson Mercantile, he stayed with the MoC. He took some time to consider starting a family, but finding his work suffered, he threw himself back into it for a few more years. He recently took a sabbatical from his position, despite being recently promoted to manager, and obtained access to the family yacht. His intentions are unknown at this time.

Varinia Flavia Janacek Navy Sublieutenant 7A68A9 Age 26
1 Term+College Cr 5000
Bribery-1, Gun Combat-1, Jack of All Trades-1, Liasion-1, Navigation-1
High Passage

A native of Wonstar/Five Sisters, she decided that life on a backwater barely capable of local spaceflight wasn't for her. Finding the Wonstar Down College offered a Navy Officer's Training Corps sealed the deal for her, and she saw it as a ticket off world, thanks to the Imperial Navy base. She passed her studies, and was barely commissioned upon leaving college. She was denied by the Imperial Navy, but picked up by the Five Sisters Duchy Navy as a line officer. Her initial training focused on working with other organizations, and how to work in zero g, helpful considering the low tech nature of many of the worlds in the Subsector. Her first assignment was back to school; this time to learn the arts of Naval Intelligence, followed by a shore posting as a staff intelligence officer ashore at Karin Base supporting the blockade of Candory and Andor, where she learned the fine art of investigating how unscrupulous traders would run the blockade. Finally, she got shipboard duty, assigned to the one of the subsector fleet's aging battleships as an Astrogation Officer, while it lead a task force on a raid on a pirate haven in District 268 that was interfering with commerce across the Bowman Arm, and possibly attacking the Scout Base at Walston/District 268. As a result of this operation, she was awarded the Medal for Conspicuous Gallantry. Despite her excellent performance, she was not in the social set expected of officers in the Five Sisters Navy, and released from service recently at Iderati/Five Sisters.

Salvatore Gerard Merchant (Free Trader)5, Citizen(Colonist)2
Age 42 AA3885 Cr 26,000
Art-0, Broker-0, Carouse-0, Comms-0, Drive-0, Engineer (Jump Drives)-1, Jack of all Trades-2, Mechanic-1, Persuade-2, Pilot(Starship)-1, Recon-0, Steward-0, Pilot (Starship)-1, Vacc Suit-2
5 Ship Shares for a Free Trader Enemy, Ally
Born to a working class family on Regina/Regina, at the age of 18 he signed on to a free trader operating up and down the Spinward Main. Four years of hard work, and he established himself on the route and the ship. He gained impressive skills in persuasion, engineering, and space operations, as well as working to make sure he wouldn't tire out as quickly. Signing on for another term, he met Evan Georgesen, an Imperial Trade attaché at Ruie, one of his ship's regular ports, and continued his work as a free trader, picking up some blade training and working on persuading customers his trader would be the best for their needs. Keeping going, he ended up getting in a violent argument with Evan, leading to a bitter and lasting enmity. He kept up his status and training, learning a bit about everything, improving as a spaceman, and basic mechanical skills, seeing extensive duty as the engineer on a Beowulf-class free trader. His next period of time started out well, but trading into the Extents means wars can start over minor provocations. His ship was almost lost, but he managed to hold them together long enough to get back to Imperial Space. Taking his possessions, he signed up as a colonist on Forboldn/Regina for a while. While his first few years on the farm went well, and he became the local handyman, and caught up on some of his missing education, it just didn't sit well with him after a while. A major storm wiped out the village he was living at but an old Friend, Maj Bolens, was in the area, and helped him get back on his feet, and back to Regina. He's looking for work, and has a fair bit of credit built up. Maybe there's a crew ready for him again.

I've also been playing the challenge

Day 1 - Traveller 5 Noble
Day 2 - Classic Traveller Merchant
Day 3 - Classic Traveller Bureaucrat
Day 4 - The Fantasy Trip Goblin Wizard
Day 5 - FATE Vigilante
Day 6 - Mongoose Noble
Day 7 - Cepheus Ground Forces

When I finish today's it will be a Cepheus Clergy (a monk) from Independence Games' Diverse Roles.

Most of mine will be Traveller, but there will be a few other game systems such as the Fantasy Trip and FATE. And I will admit to cheating a bit and creating them when I have time earlier (the Fate character was created with the GM for a game I'm going to play so will be an actual in-play character). But they are all hand-rolled in North Carolina

Medal for Conspicuous Gallantry, two Purple Hearts, 2 Combat Command Ribbons, 4 Combat Ribbons

A native of Mertactor/District 268, he is spent twenty years in the planetary defense force, initially enlisting at the age of 18 as an infantryman. His first tour was largely spent in training or garrison roles, where he was trained in personal and heavy weapons, and in the use of vacuum gear, and reached the rank of Corporal. He re-enlisted, and was selected for Officer Candidate School, where he was trained for mechanized operations, emergency medical support, and small unit tactics. As a junior officer, he served in Internal security, training, and counter insurgency operations. Selected for retention, he served more in Counter insurgency operations, raids, and more internal security, and made First Lieutenant while earning his first Combat Command Ribbon and a MCG. Finding it to his continued liking, he followed his unit into a training cycle, before getting picked up as a staff officer in another offensive operation, where he was promoted to Captain. After that, he was assigned to the Staff College, followed by another COIN tour, where he was leading a company. That experience found him still relevant to the Army, and at 16 years, ready for more. The next term, following a garrison snooze-fest, he was picked up for commando training, then assignment at the Infantry School as a Recon instructor. Seeking to possibly transfer over to the Special Operations Brigade, he was found unable to continue as an officer, and medically retired. Still on Mertactor, he's got a couple of passages he could use, but is looking to hire on as a security consultant for those headed into District 268, or out into the Trojan Reach.

Uthkaengir (Uth-kinge-ir) is an Imperial citizen, born to a family of Vargr refugees from the Extents who has lived in the Imperium her entire life. She grew up speaking Gvegh, but learned Anglic as a pup. After completing her education, she joined the Scout service, where her curiosity and xenophilia made her a natural fit. She spent twelve years in the Imperial Grand Survey in roles including ship's pilot, engineer, and survey assistant. Her scientific expertise was in terrestrial worlds, and their ecology, along with some geological and botanical studies. Now, she's ready to see more than just the backwater sites that need examination, and a little tired of the Vargr jokes, so she's ready for life on her own.

Bribery-2, Gambling-1, Pilot-1, Comms-1, Streetwise-1, Gunnery-0, Electronics-0, Recon-0

Born on Aberlocht as a station baby, Kara grew up on station, learning the basic safety protocols and how to access the system for her education. At 18, not knowing what to do, she entered into the Imperial Scout Service, wanting to see more than just the station walls for the rest of her life. Travelling via a tramp freighter to Kaurga, she was accepted into the Scouts. Her first term she plied the nearby by stars in the ISS Close Encounter in training and courier duty, picking up a variety of basic Scouting skills along the way. She reads a great deal in her down time, honing her intelligence on those long jumps. Her next term, planetside she picks up some basic fighting skills - bar fights and Scouts go hand in hand. She starts to specialize in communications. Her third term, while she was honorably discharged, she had to fight for that with a lengthy legal process. The next several years she drifted about, learning to grease palms and getting stronger living out on the edges of civilization. The first few years were a fight for survival at times, but eventually she learned the ins and outs. She drifted to the Spinward Marches, looking for a more open place. Now, left with Cr45K, a low passage to nowhere and her trusty body pistol, she is ready to start looking to settle down perhaps.

Back to Traveller!

Boland Gasse is a native of Eleusis/Concorde (SR2109), a wealthy world famed for swordsmanship. As a boy, his life was rather aimless, so he applied for a position with the Subsector Bureau of Investigation, where he came in as a rookie agent. Graduating at the top of his intake, he was promoted to Agent immediately. Field Agent promotion was quick as well, and by age 34 he was a Special Agent. In his assignments, he met Marianna Orman, a TNS reporter in the subsector. Assigned to an exchange tour in the neighboring Sulieman subsector, he was badly injured in a trap set by Solomani Party terrorists, and spent the several years recovering. Thankfully, the agency picked up most of the bill, but he was still left with some money owed. Wanting to do something with his life, Marianna suggested he start writing. In the past few years, he's managed a small success writing a series of thriller novels regarding various Imperial Intelligence agencies fighting threats of all sorts, and making appearances on programs as a commentator. He's met some interesting people, but his old friend Kartikeya Chan, who helps him with some current information and gives him some ideas is a cherished relationship from the circuit. He's heard there's interesting things happening closer to Terra, and he's always wanted to see Humaniti's homeworld, so he's headed to Terra.

Finally got a character through the Navy (inspired my Micheal's Navy character. I've not rolled up a High Guard character in a while - and as always, the solo game of Traveller character generation was a lot of fun! A few more Traveller characters at my blog [in my sig below] as I continue to play the January Character Challenge)

Captain Jessa Rosanche, MD
Imperial Naval Academy, Imperial School of Medicine, 3 Terms Navy
Staff College, Officer College, MCUF

Medic-4, Computer-4, Carousing-2, Gambling-2, Fleet Tactics-2, Jack-of-Trades-1, Admin-1, Liaison-1, Ships Boat-1
Cr60,000, High Passage, Traveller's Aid

Attending the Navy college at Glisten, Jessa graduated with honors and went into the Imperial Medical School of Glisten, a highly respected school recognized throughout most of the Imperium. Despite not having the same social connections as many of her schoolmates, she graduated with honors as well. With her medical doctorate and her commission to Lieutenant, she expected nothing but grand adventure in the Imperial Navy. Throughout the next dozen years, she proved her mettle, consistently getting promoted, and once even managing a command position. She also learned the ins and outs in the Navy, and soon also had a reputation as one who would take you for what you had if you weren't careful. But it would be a fun time before you realized you were out of your payroll.

Finally mustering out back at Glisten, feeling a bit weary but gifted with a Travellers' Aid membership, Jessa is ready for the next set of adventures in her life.
How you may meet Jessa
She would make an excellent ship's doctor, especially as she does have access the to Traveller's Aid Society as well as being able to handle ships boats of all sorts. Also a computer whiz and easy to get along with, Jessa can tell tall tales and get along with people from all sorts of life. She also has an affinity for gambling, so could be found in a casino, trying to break the bank.

Did this yesterday, but forgot to post it here!

Bernadette Balboni, Marine Lieutenant, 1 term Age 22
UPP C78776 Cr10,000
Cutlass-2, Electronics-1, Gambling-1, Revolver-1

Bernadette Balboni grew up on Skull/Lanth to a slightly shady merchant's family. There wasn't much lacking, but her parents were able to keep food on the table and clothes on their backs. As one of the biggest kids in her school, she was often picked for sporting events, and popular enough. Once she came of age, eager to get away from the cutthroat mercantile existence of Skull, she joined the Imperial Marines. Her initial enlistment was accepted, and she was commissioned an officer, and assigned to Provost duties at Icetina and Extolay. Sadly, her gambling skills were criticized by a senior officer, and she was asked to find other opportunities. Right now, she's on Regina, and looking for work. She knows that Cr 10,000 won't last her long.

Mo Lungu grew up on Agidda/Sol, where his abbreviated schooling trained him in shipbuilding, but he really was more out with friends. He rebelled against his respectable family, and ended up with a gang on the streets when he dropped out of school. Like most in his 'profession', he didn't exactly make a lot of friends, more likely to have enemies. Particularly, Kjell Langdon, a minor crime boss. He's been living by his wits, but has a feeling now that many of his former associates have been sent to Newcome/Banasdan, it's time to find a less risk job than occasionally breaking legs, and stooging for shady merchants. He's currently at Fenris/Sol, where he's looking for gainful employment when he's not working the tables at a casino. He's also working on some unofficial supplies for a number of people, as well.

Marlijn grew up on Laputa, an important high-population garden world in the Kukulkan sector of the Solomani Rim. Her family was not a very important cog in the Solomani Party. She was no monitor, but sent to enforce the Party line via monitoring and active infiltration. Using her amazing intelligence and near eidetic memory, she could keep track of multiple identities and plots simultaneously. While she successfully managed electronic bugging, and using forged credentials to get her bugs in place. Many times she barely managed to escape, her life in the balance more than once. Taking charge of her group, she successfully dismantled a pro-Imperial fringe group on Ochre, at the edge of the Solomani Sphere. However, in her last term she was caught in the cross-fire in a firefight, getting wounded enough to leave the service just prior to her retirement.

A stern woman who is ramrod straight even when resting, she moves with a poise that is distinctive and noticeable when she wants to be noticed. And when she does not want to be noticed, Malijn's posture, gate and mannerisms change enough to make it hard to see the soldier that she is. An excellent tactician and researcher, she takes pride in her genius level intellect. She loves puzzles and has done extensive research into the various creation myths, from the Solomani Hypothesis to the Church of the Chosen Ones. She is a firm believer in the superiority of Solomani to general humaniti from the Imperium.

And I'll be the 1st to admit I've not really done much with the Solomani, so may not have all the details correct.

When you're from Jewell, when in doubt, you join the Army. That's exactly what Sarvesh Bonaccorsi did. He joined the Jewell Army, and trained as a Sapper for four years, including protected forces training. Unfortunately for him, a change in Army priorities lead to his battalion, the 25th Combat Engineers (The Pearl Builders) to be disbanded. He took his discharge with a grain of salt, a cash bonus, his old gauss rifle, and is now looking for something to do. Mercenaries are hiring, and there's a minor war going on at Ruie.
