Approved Character Kallenin Noir

For Tom's street war plot.

Okay, don’t think there’s too much info on Mutants and alien crossbreeding, not much that I could find anyway, so my imagination wanted to have free run of the character creation but I tried to keep it plausible. As I said in my notes in the bottom, left some of the details out because: 1) Need advice on some measurements. 2) Need to figure out how the character is connected to the plot. 3) Too lazy to think up names for people and places from her history right now.

And yes, Her “Vectors” partly exist just so I can get a cheap laugh once in a while.

*prepares to duck and cover*
 
Will wait until Friday for all character applications to be collected for judging. If I see something here that I don't like, I'll mention it. Rock on!
 
1. Measurements. Get that advice yet?

2. "But her vectors, because of their functionality as both sensory organs and extra limbs, are believed to be from her father and are likely a trait caused by alien crossbreeding." Which alien species?

3. "She choose the surname “Noir” almost at random." ... Randomly choosing a last name? No reasoning at all?

4. "None the less, this early warning can help her when sneaking around places by helping her avoid guards or people trying to get the drop on her." I trust you not to abuse this, James, but I don't like the precedent it sets. Especially without knowing the alien race that has this ability. Laughs for you could turn into abuse for others.

Overall: A good character James. Unique as well. But there's those two big points that I need to see addressed before I can OK this.

This character is pending.
 
Give me a little credit, it was 2 AM when I finished writing this and I didn’t feel like loosing another hour of sleep at the time.

As I have the time right now, I’ll see what I can do to fill in the gaps. I suppose since none of the current alien races have attributes quite as unique as Kallenin’s I could make up an NPC race, it might not be too much of a stretch since Nepleslia supposedly has “I wide variety of alien races” living in its boundaries. Seems like a lot of effort just go get a single character approved but what the hell, I wanted to be different.

[Edit] Another explanation I could use is that the Vectors are a Genetic Atavism (dormant genetic feature left over from a previous evolutionary stage) from an existing race. It’s a bit of a copout but it would save me from writing several pages of information about a race that doesn’t exist in game. Plus it would suck having to get a whole race approved just to play one character.

I’ll also add some more limitations to the Vectors to keep them balanced.
 
I was working on it earlier but had some connections issues slowing me down, couldn’t finish before I had to go to work. I’ll be done momentarily.

[Edit] Addressed the issues: Gave reasoning for the name Noir. Added measurements, as best I can figure. Rewrote the bit about her father, he was just a Geshrin, I’m willing to chalk up her Vectors to “Freak occurrence.” Added some more limitations to the Vectors sensitivity, Went with the simplest method, double edged sword. If Tom or any other GM feels they are being used too much or that they are being abused, they can add some subsonic sounds to the setting to nullify the ability.

Inventory will be added within the next 24 hours since I have a day off finally.
 
Are you going to add more skills or is that it?
 
I was under the impression that the rules for characters without an official occupation were limited to Four Skills as opposed to the normal Seven?

As this character is essentially a criminal with no military training unlike the majority of Characters on Star Army, why would she be exempted from this rule?
 
It's your choice. I'll allow for flexibility in adding skills as you roleplay, getting them quicker and whatnot if you'd like.

You can take 7 though. I don't... really think anybody makes chars with 4 unless they're like children or something.
 
We have really got to eliminate that part of the CCG. I'll find it and kill it.

Sounds to me like this character's OK to go. You can add the skills as you go.

This character is approved for IC usage. Don't forget to file your contact information here if you haven't already done so. This is player James' second character in his first plot.

Welcome to the Star Army Role-Play.
 
Am I that forgettable? This is my second character; my first is in a UOC plot.

But thanks for your time in reviewing and the welcome.
