I simply used Windows Paint, I don't have any other image-altering software.

Atomic Ray if you please, cease posting Moebius art all over the forums. You are cutting into my HE image folder. :)

That neuter you made uses the pic I had selected for a NPC in the adventure.

Sulu has been approved for awhile now. :)

Name his Homeworld, give him "Low Sunuz" as his second language and write something about his background.

From his background and skills he doesn't seem like the sort of guy that has wandered the space lanes yet. Why not make him a native of Xiraltá? From one of the secondary towns somewhere in 1st continent. Boy has now come to the big Capital City to seek his fortune and fame.

Just another note about something I hadn't noticed. His antennas mutation give him sense vibration 360' and -1 AC? How does that work?


Edit: I've placed someone in the Hall of Exalted Persons to keep Sulu company.

By the way, he's missing his Saving Throws, Movement Rate and weapon stats

Looking up the other data...the antennas, minor danger sense...but rather mutation that changes game play I just figured something minor like -1 AC would be ok :)

Right kjc lets get started.

First step is selecting your species. If you are not familiar with Empire of the Petal Throne or Tekumel I would recommend opting for a Human or a N'luss which is just a large human. But here are your available Alien PC options with those stats anyway:

Ahoggya - must lower PSY to 9

Heglethyal (swamp folk) - must lower PSY to 8

Nininyal (pigmy folk) - must lower STR and CON to 12

Pachi Lei - no changes to ability scores

Pe Choi - must lower CON to 12

Shen - must lower PSY to 10

After choosing the character's species (and noting down any special racial abilities) you roll on the Background Tech Level table on Pg. 15 of the Humanspace Empires PDF.

After that, if your character is a Human (not a N'luss or Alien) roll for his Social Class here: http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=humanspace&action=display&thread=7163

Note down the effects and money credits gained.


Once this stage is reached I'll get back to you.

Righto,

Now head ye to page 14 of HE and roll on the Background Skill Selection table. You will be rolling a 1d20-1 as your PC's INT is 8.

Then go to pg. 15 and choose the number and type of Background Skills indicated from the table there. All skills are available. You should check the descriptions as some of those skills grant you Professional Skills.

The same Background Skill may be selected multiple times, a second choosing gives a +1 bonus, a third a +2, etc.


After that it is time to choose your Class. You cannot be a Scientist as your INT is too low. For the other available classes your XP Bonus from ability scores would be:

Adventurer: n/a
Astronaut: +5%
Traveller: +5%
Warrior: +15%

You mentioned before you wanted a character with psy powers, if that is the case you should opt for the Astronaut which is the psychic master par excelence , but the Adventurer can get some PSY and Super-Scientific powers too.

The Traveller is a class I made on my own which gets its Professional Skills, and maybe PSY/SS powers, from the other Class lists in a fully random fashion. It has not been tested yet. You can find it here as the last entry: http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ept&action=display&thread=7087&page=4

After Class is selected go to its appropriate SKILLS/POWERS SELECTION table and roll 1d20-1. Get back to be with the roll result and we will continue.
