Character Lifepaths

[Wes]

In Cyberpunk 2020 and its related games, they have a cool history generation system for their characters called a Life Path. Basically, for each year of a character's life, they have random events which can result in gaining friends, contacts, enemies, skills, and disabilities. I was thinking it would be neat to have something similar for Star Army.

Here's some examples to show what I'm talking about:

• Alternate Lifepath Chart for Cyberpunk 2020
• Tales from the Street
• Cyberprunk 2020 Lifepath Generator
• Cyberpunk Generators
• Character/Lifepath Generator by Brain Wong

I got one of the old lifepath generators from back in the day (it was last updated in 2007 I think) to work by downloading a SWF player and running it on that.

It would still be cool to have something like this.

Also, it might be nice if for character histories we could ask about what the character was doing during the big events like the wars, etc.
