Rolled stats 84659C...
My homeworld is LoTech(4-6), Starport C, and Lopop, so I pick up Survival-1 for free. [I like this homeworld system a lot better than the MT one.]
Went to university and had no problem getting through thanks to my SOC. Stayed in school to get the PHD... mainly because my EDU stat was so high. I couldn't figure out what major fit the character concept, so I took what the table gave me: Language-2, Geology-1, Instruction-1, Law-1, Computer-2. Call it a PHD in Resource Management? I used my high EDU stat to cut my time in school short. (I picked up Honors at the University, BTW.) [Learning the eductation system was tedious....]
>> The waiver rules are unclear: "A prereq for a degree cannot be waived?"
I became a noble and picked up Carousing-1 and Fencing-1.
Term 1: I was knighted.
Str +1, Edu +1, Forgery-1, Grav Craft-1
Term 2: Injury! (recovered) Elevation to Soc D.
Athletics-1, First Aid-1, Sword-2
Term 3: Elevation to Soc E.
Dex +1, Int +1, Pistol-1, Admin-1
Mustering out... I'm going for the yacht all the way so I choose to take +1 on my rolls for having rank E. [This rule is unclear.]
Edu +1, TAS, Int +1, Low Passage
Doh! Didn't get the yacht!
Failed my aging roll hard! Str -1, Dex -1, End -1.
[The rules were all hard to follow. I decoded them by flipping between the summary page, the rules, and the example characters.]
Now what...
A dead broke Marquis that's... out of work? What's he doing Travelling the frontier? Does he get spending cash?
The thing about the original 6 CT careers is that you didn't have to have a fully realized universe for them to play in. I have to go a lot deeper into the setting/background to understand what my nobel is going to be up to.... (I remember teaching a friend GURPS Traveller and my heart stopping when he picked the Corsair template. Now what? You have to understand the ecology of piracy for that to work... not exactly something Traveller canon has gone out of its way to clarify.)
Sword, Computer, and Language are my best skills.... Hmmm.... A much more colorful character than effective. I end up netting 8457CE. Things more or less fit together, though. How to knit him into the setting, though....

I would think it would be a priority to keep him away from all sharp objects!
