Ben can usually be found hanging out at a bar, a gym or rarely in his room. Under all the hard and tough layers of his un-emotional mind, Ben is really a sweet guy, tender and loving. Also Ben has a small sense of dignity, pride and honor. That being so he refuses to fight an un-fair fight, but loves to stoop so low as to murder and kill. He's also really attached to his Motorcycle, anyone who so dares hurt it in anyway, dies or at the least leaves with a good beating and a few painful reminders. When thrown into a rage Ben is destructive and something will allways end up being broken. The only one able to bring him out of this rage would be any woman or a seriously brave man. Ben is usually found dressed in all black. When not in uniform he wears a tight fitting, sleeveless vest, loose fitting pants with a wide brown leather belt, and knee high combat boots covered in plates of steel. He aslo wears a long, black trench coat.

Red part should be separated into "Maintenance and Repairs" skill.

Orange part should be separated into "Physical" skill.

Strategy (Tactics/discipline): Ben can understand and give out tactical commands and work with his troop to follow those commands efficiently. He knows the importance of teamwork on the battlefield, has been intensively trained in discipline and morale, and is able to recognize the command structure even while under extreme pressure (combat, etc). Ben is able to recognize ambush points. He knows basic math in order to calculate distances, etc, and can use a tactical map.

Yellow part should be separated into "Mathematics" skill.

Any ideas for an instresting history?

Two or three sentences would be fine. Say that he had a typical childhood and stuff. Maybe events in the family that shaped his personality and outlook. Don't let the other GMs give you grief about it.

Yangfan:

The Nepleslian CCG lists those skills as being correct. Actually, what our friend Benji here did was simply cut and paste the information from the CCG into his character sheet.

Nothing wrong with that.

Explanations for why he has these skillsets.

Since they are modelled after U.S. soldiers, the Nepleslian skillsets reflect that a bit.

Fighting and Physical are paired into one skill on the CCG.

All U.S. soldiers must be in good physical shape (to pass basic). I've improved it to excellent because, in this universe, anything less is going to be dead (given the 'superior' races out there). And it's common sense that anyone who has been trained to use a variety of weapons would know at least the basics of disassembling and repairing said weapon if the tools were available to them.

Strategy:

The basic math bit is just what it is: basic math. Every soldier needs to know how to look at a map, look up at the terrain, and give a basic approximation of distance. It's nothing more powerful than that, really, and I felt that it was able to be held under the 'tactics' part of the strategy section rather than being given a whole different skillslot to say "HEY I CAN DO ADDS!"

 

[Yangfan]

Well, I must have missed a memo somewhere, because CCG2 clearly marks Fighting and Physical as separate skills:

https://stararmy.com/ccg/ccg2_skills.html

It's fine if you want to add the physical shape thing onto Fighting for Nepleslian characters, but could we keep to one common set of skills terminology for all factions?

And Wes seems to have missed Strategy in the CCG2 list. That should be added in.

Planetary Soldiers

These are the brave men and women who engage in (usually) close range, planetary combat.

Note: It is here where Nepleslia and Yamatai split in military philosophy. Nepleslian planetary soldiers rarely contribute to the operation of a starship; therefore their required skillsets are somewhat different than those of a standard soldier or member of Yamatai. Nepleslian planetary soldiers must have the following (substitute for default requirements):

Communication: Your character is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, ships, ground vehicles, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Your character is fluent in English. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc. The character is skilled in field communications and is proficient in all rudimentary forms of communication (hand signals, flashing lights, etc).

Fighting and Physical: Your character received intensive hand-to-hand combat training (primarily focused on disabling and/or killing opponents) and has followed up that knowledge with a rigorous training program. Weapons he is trained in include pistols of all types, knives, grenades (and other forms of explosive weaponry) and rifles of all kinds. The character can repair weaponry with adequate tools and time. The character is in excellent physical shape and has considerable endurance.

Survival: The character knows how to survive in hostile environments. He can build shelters, hunt and forage for food, build a fire, etc. The character can camouflage himself and is familiar with guerrilla warfare tactics.

Strategy (Tactics/discipline): The character can understand and give out tactical commands and work with his troop to follow those commands efficiently. He knows the importance of teamwork on the battlefield, has been intensively trained in discipline and morale, and is able to recognize the command structure even while under extreme pressure (combat, etc). The character is able to recognize ambush points. He knows basic math in order to calculate distances, etc, and can use a tactical map.

General infantry have all the skills written above.

If you choose Nepleslia as your empire, you get to their career section which, although a bit out of date (and will be updated), shows up as previously quoted.

Fighting and Physical used to be one skillset, which was when I created this section of the Nepleslia CCG. If it's been split off, then we'll have to make some changes.

 

[Yangfan]

Agreed.

I have no objections to this bio besides the lack of a history.

 

[Mola]

Okies I've put up a short history, should be good to go...

Per Yangfan's recommendations, bio approved.
