Give me a name for this girl. Also, gimme 12d6 for her characteristics.

Ok guys, we got a fat-ass lady with monstrous strength, completely dumb though.

She still needs a name, if you have an idea, go on.

Also, choose her a pre-career. What did she do in her youth before starting her professional life ?
>University.
>Military academy
>Colonial upbringing
>Merchant academy
>School of Hard-Knock (basically the street)
>Spacer Community

>>71594711
Ok. That's her name now. Big fat Annalise Whitechaple.

>>71594802
Seems like a good candidate for Merchant Academy (someone's niece)

>>71594802
Merchant Academy. used family connections to work her way though rather than actual merit. she has a group of hanger ons taht are more scared of her since they once saw her pick up a guy and chuck him 20 feet

>>71594888
All that fat's good for inertia at least.

>>71594888
>they say she fucking ate a guy!

>>71594887
>>71594888
Merchant academy then. What curriculum did she pick ? You can choose either Business or Shipboard. Business courses are probably run like a university degree in some big civilized planet while a shipboard curriculum will probably lead our whale to spend a few months on a ship to learn the trade.

Also, roll 2d6 - 1 (INT of 4) + 1 (SOC 8+) = 2d6 for Entry. She succeeds if you roll 9 or higher.

>>71594972
Shipboard, our whale wants to experience weightlessness and forget her heft.

Rolled 5, 6 = 11 (2d6)

>>71595011
Oops.

>>71595029
She passed ! Her uncle, Archibald Whitechaple, a wealthy merchant stationed five sub-sectors away, played on his professional networks to " ease" the admission test a bit when his niece took it and contacted one of his former business partners to take her under his wing, in his trading ship, for a few years.

Now, roll 2d6 for Event.

Rolled 2, 1 = 3 (2d6)

>>71595084

>>71595084
Oh and also, she gains the following Skills by joining the Shipboard curriculum :
Pilot (0), Vacc Suit (0), Athletics (O), Mechanic (0), Engineer (0), Electronics (0), Steward (0).

>>71595100

>Your time in education is not a happy one and you suffer a deep tragedy; perhaps you become hopelessly addicted to drink or drugs, a failed romance leaves you in tatters, or a fatal accident involving a close friend shakes your confidence. You crash and fail to graduate.

What happened to her bros ? Something made her fail despite her uncle's influence. Anyway, she failed her merchant studies.

She's now 18 and it's time for her to start her professional life despite her failure. What path did she take ?

>Agent
>Army
>Citizen
>Drifter
>Entertainer

By the way, I have something quick to do. I'll be back in 15 minutes or so.

>>71595236
Health complications in 0G, turns out that adjusting to reduced bone density is harder when you're hauling several kilos of meat. I say we go Merchant, she's too dumb to give up on her life's dream.

>>71595236
She spent the whole time being called 'Widechapel' by her peers who also snickered over her nepotist position, when she wasn't screeching at the peanut gallery she was holed up in her cabin eating emergency rations and crying.

>>71595236
>Merchant
She's gonna make it.

>>71595314
Poor bitch.

>>71595297
Actually I take it back. Do stats only factor in as requirements or do different professions train them? If the latter she might do a stint in the army boot camp to get rid of her flab and show the bullies they were wrong. She's already got the 'tard strength, with some stamina we'll have an amazon monster on our hands.

>>71595236
>entertainer
She spent a few years as a failing, unfunny comedian propped up by stealing the jokes of other people and terrible "woman" humor.
>Amy Schumer in spaaaaaaace

>>71595377
actually I'll throw my lot in behind this guy's plan >>71595364 if stats get boosts from jobs

>>71595410
If all goes well we might get back into the merchant game as a bodyguard, if we see any snivelling former classmates we can flex on them to intimidating effect.

>>71595364
>>71595410

Army it is then.

After being harassed throughout her school years by her classmates, she fell into depression and dropped out of school overnight. However, her family disowned her, her nine brothers and sisters having all passed their studies at the academy with flying colours. Her uncle refused to speak to her again and, in frustration, advised her father to send her to the army to toughen her up.
"She is retarded and her case is unrecoverable in this aspect, but it is still possible to make her lose a few pounds. Perhaps we'll be able to get her married."

Roll 2d6 -2 (END = 2) to see if she qualifies.

Rolled 6, 3 = 9 (2d6)

>>71595573
Aw fuck, didn't think this through did we? Disappointment here we come.

Rolled 5, 3 + 2 = 10 (2d6 + 2)

>>71595573

>>71595588
in space no one can hear you sob

>>71595588
>>71595589
It's a minus, anon. We have a 7 and a 6 apiece. I only hope the army's requirements are lower than 9, they're meant to be a dustbin for malcontents aren't they?

>>71595588
She qualifies, compensating for his nonexistent cardio with phenomenal physical strength (breaking five bones to her instructor during the evaluation of basic combat abilities).

Choose an assignment :
>Support : You are an engineer, cook or in some other role behind the front lines.
>Infantry : You are one of the Poor Bloody Infantry on the ground.
>Cavalry : You are one of the crew of a gunship or tank.

>>71595613
I was the second one, which you can throw out
And I did a minus, it just ended up a plus. weird.

>>71595613
Army requirement is a roll of 5 or higher with 2d6 + END modifier (-2).

>>71595640
We can write support out, since she's retarded. Cavalry doesn't fit with our inferior dexterity
Infantry it is!

Just so you know, the Survival rolls for each assignments in their respective paths are :
Support -> END 5+ (success if you roll 5 or higher with 2d6 + END modifier)
Infantry -> STR 6+
Cavalry -> INT 7+

>>71595640
We have skills applicable to cavalry but really want to shed that flab. I'd suggest infantry if we know there's a good chance of an END boost, cavalry otherwise.

>>71595691
>>71595704
Fuck that, didn't see the requirements. Ground pounder it is!

>>71595679
>>71595704
I don't think she can have a END boost in this career, but I really doubt she can make it in the Cavalry since the Survival roll is INT 7+. So let's go with Infantry.

Basic Infantry training for her first term of first Career => She gains :
Drive, Athletics, Gun Combat, Recon, Melee, Heavy Weapons, bringing her to :

Drive (0)
Vacc Suit (0)
Athletics (1)
Mechanics (0)
Engineer (0)
Electronics (0)
Steward (0)
Gun Combat (0)
Recon (0)
Melee (0)
Heavy Weapons.

Choose a speciality between Athletics (feats of Strength), Athletics (feats of Endurance), Athletics (feats of Dexterity)

Now, choose one of the following categories of military skills and then give me 1d6 roll to know which skill she gains through her first Term in the Infantry :
-Personal Development
-Service Skills
-Advanced Education
-Infantry

Rolled 3, 5 + 2 = 10 (2d6 + 2)

>>71595691
>>71595732

Rolled 5, 6 + 2 = 13 (2d6 + 2)

>>71595679

Two votes for infantry, I'm rollan'.

Rolled 3 (1d6)

>>71595862
meant to roll +1 sorry but she nailed it.

>>71595858
feats of strength obv. Personal development because she's got some issues to work through.

>>71595858
Feats of endurance, we can handle strength but by god do we need to avoid having a heart attack. I vote Personal Development too, lets hit the treadmill.

>END +1

Here we go. She finally decided to spend her free time in the evenings jogging around the barracks.

Now, roll 2d6 +1 for Survival in the Infantry.

Rolled 6, 6 + 1 = 13 (2d6 + 1)

>>71596002

>>71596029
Holy shit, not only did she survived but she's taken it like a duck in water.

Roll 2d6 for Event in the Infantry.

Rolled 2, 1 = 3 (2d6)

>You are assigned to a planet with a hostile or wild environment. Gain one of Vacc Suit 1, Engineer 1, Animals (riding or training) 1 or Recon 1.

Choose either Vacc Suit, Engineer, Animals (riding), Animals (training), Recon

Please, not Animals (riding). Have mercy for the poor beast that she will mount.

>>71596103
Maybe Animals (training), she had mercy on that poor pony that shivered when it saw her lumbering to the stable. Once it got over the initial fright it stopped judging her, she liked that.

>>71596103
We already have Vacc Suit (0) and Engineer (0) so picking those would give us less total skill ups than picking animals or recon

>Animals(riding)
Giant deathworlder 'lizard" riding

Rolled 2 (1d2)

1 = Animal (training)
2 = Animal (riding)

>>71596217
Snapped spines it is, empathy is unbecoming of a soldier.

>>71596217
On LCK-2533, the snow never stops falling. Stationed on this cursed planet, Annalise had to learn how to ride, given the impossibility of manoeuvring military vehicles in such an environment. Fortunately, the local animals were much more resistant than Earth horses.

Ok, now you have a choice.
-Roll for Advancement (try to be promoted to Lance Corporal)
-Roll for Commission (try to become an officer)
-Quit this career.

>>71596279
Being an officer sounds like we'd need brains, Lance corporal seems more doable. I hope to hell we aren't rolling END again...

>>71596279
Lance Corporal baby! Let's make a career out of being a dumbass grunt.

>>71596318
Rolling for advancement in Infantry is EDU 6+

Gimme 2d6 -1

Rolled 3, 1 + 1 = 5 (2d6 + 1)

>>71596344
Oh god. I mean statistically, we're likely to pass. Right?

Rolled 2, 5 + 1 = 8 (2d6 + 1)

>>71596344
Ah shit, wish us luck boys. At this rate we'll develop a phobia of examination.

Aaaaaand... She failed. The ease with which she navigates the battlefield, basically rushing in a straight line and crushing everyone in her way, could have impressed her superiors if she hadn't to stop after 10 seconds and almost die of exhaustion because of her terrible cardio.

She made it bros, she survived this fucking hell. They found her the next day, covered by snow, near-hypotermic, but alive and uninjured.
Choose to gain one level in Gun Combat or in Leadership.

>>71596793
Gun Combat, our bulk makes recoil easier to handle.

>>71596810
Gun Combat it is. Now, she's at Gun Combat (2). Just for you to know, a Skill (2) means she's not just above average with it, she's actually really good, that's the level of a skilled professional in this field.

Choose :
-Try to be promoted to Lance Corporal (she were so close...)
-Try to become an officer.
-Quit the army.

>>71596793
leadership
Gun Combat is cool, but probably based on DEX, which we're not good at. We already have a level in it, too. Leadership may be SOC, which we are good at. therefore...

>>71596861
rip, too slow for leadership I guess
>Lance Corporal
lets get some Promotions!!

>>71596861
That's enough army for one lifetime. Find something else to do (Quit).

How far into hard-sci can go with Traveller?

Rolled 6, 4 = 10 (2d6)

Current situation : They gave him permission to leave LCK-2533. She's now stationed on a fairly ordinary planet in the inner sectors, fairly close to her home planet.

Gimme 2d6 -1 for Survival.

Rolled 3, 6 = 9 (2d6)

>>71596884
You can go pretty far. The setting is pretty hard-SF to begin with, and there are advanced rules in an other book to make it even harder.

>>71596982
We'll bump our END up by one more point so that she's as thicc as she is thick then we'll be on our merry way.

>>71596982
Also, I completely forgot but once you make it to level 1 in Gun Combat you have to choose a specialization.

Distribute two levels in the following specializations :
>Archaic (primitive weapons such as bows and blowpipes)
>Energy (energy weapons like laser pistols or plasma rifles)
>Slug (weapons that fire solid projectiles such as the autorifle or gauss rifle)

You can put the two levels into the same category if you want.

Also, gimme 1d6 + 4 for your initial Parole Threshold.

A Traveller may not normally leave or be ejected from the Prisoner career – not even mishaps will force them to leave. Instead, they have a value called a Parole Threshold. At the end of each term in the prisoner career, if the Traveller’s Advancement roll is greater than their Parole Threshold, it means their prison sentence has come to an end and they leave this career. Otherwise, they may not leave this career and must continue in it for another term.

Never fear, I found it on the trove. I'll be continuing presently.

Rolled 1 (1d6)

>>71597321
I rolled first so here's the event.

1. Riot. A riot engulfs the prison. Roll 1D. On a 1-2, you are injured – roll on the Injury table. On a 5-6, you are able to loot something useful; gain an extra Benefit roll this term. 2. New Contact. You make friends with another inmate; gain them as a Contact. 3. New Rival. You gain a new rival among the inmates or guards. 4. Transferred. You are moved to a different prison. Re-roll your Parole Threshold. 5. Good Behaviour. Reduce your Parole Threshold by -2. 6. You are attacked by another prisoner. Roll Melee (unarmed) 8+. If you fail, roll on the Injury table.

Rolled 3 (1d6)

>>71597426
Not many decisions for the thread to make in prison are there? Let's see how that riot goes.

>>71597447
>new rival
aw shit, we pissed off the cartels, didn't we?

Rolled 5, 5 = 10 (2d6)

>>71597549
I rolled as I posted the list, that one was to see whether we get shanked in the riot. Now we roll for advancement and see if we can surpass the parole threshold (we rolled 9 earlier). Advancement's END for thugs, we might want to try being a good little prisoner next term and rolling STR.

>>71597683
With the minus one from shitty END we have just enough to make parole. Those laps around the gym were just enough to get us through, vindication!

>>71597711
How much more of a career does Annalise get before she's game-ready?

>>71598765
You can stop the character creation whenever you want. Starting from age 34 (which she is now), every new Term will require a roll that can give you malus related to aging.
So you can decide to play a grizzled veteran with a lot of years of experience behind him and a lot of skills but also a lot of maluses to his characteristics (low strength, endurance and dex due to age) and potentially a lot of enemies and rival gained during his life, or play a young character with only a few skills but good characteristics.

In Mongoose Traveller, you can't die in the character creation so theorically you can continue infintely (but you'll end up eventually with characteristics at 0), but in the Classic Traveller, you could die during the character creation at any moment, whether from Injury, assassination, old age (if I remember well)...

>>71598851
So we probably stop here right. Just released from prison, looking for a job.
