Alpha Dawn - Star Frontiersman

Sample Character #2
Hunter wants to make a character. He imagines a
Yazirian wilderness scout, knowledgeable about the
outdoors and ready for the elements on any planet.
Ability Scores
Hunter rolls percentile dice four times for his initial
ability scores. He gets 51, 49, 71, and 55. He
records the following scores:
STR/STA 45/45
DEX/RS 45/45
INT/LOG 55/55
PER/LDR 45/45
He decides that life in the wilderness has made him
less able to integrate with social groups, and moves
ten points from Personality over to Leadership,
making them 35 and 55. He may not be the nicest
guy, but you can’t help looking to him in a time of
danger.
Race
Hunter already wanted to play a Yazirian so he
notes this on his sheet and notes all special abilities
provided by that race (Night Vision, Gliding, and
Battle Rage with a 5% chance of raging), including
movement (10m walking, 30m running, and 4km
hourly rate) and ability score adjustments (-10
STR/STA, +5 DEX/RS, and +5 INT/LOG).
STR/STA 35/35
DEX/RS 50/50
INT/LOG 60/60
PER/LDR 35/55
Other Abilities
With new ability totals, he calculates his IM, PS, RW,
and MW scores and notes them on his sheet.
Initiative Modifier is +5, Punching Score is +2,
Ranged Weapons score is half his Dexterity, or 25%,
and Melee Weapons score is the same, 25%.
Skills
Hunter selects Military as his PSA, even though a lot
of his concept has to do with the environmental skill.
The referee warned him that that will cause his
Environmental skill to advance more slowly, but
Hunter decided this was fine.
He selects Demolitions and Environmental as his
initial skills. He imagines his character able to slip
in, set explosives, and slip out of an enemy base.
Equipment
He rolls 85, adds it to 250, and begins his spending
with 335.
He buys a gyrojet pistol, sungoggles (to not be
penalized in daytime), survival rations, a water
pack, holoflare (in case he gets lost), everflame,
compass, gas mask, and an all-weather blanket.
He’s prepared for just about any environment.
He has 12 Credits remaining.
Final Details
He names his Yazirian Groko, and decides he’s righthanded
and male. His fur is a dark brown and his
eyes light tan. He has above-average height (2.3
meters) and an average build (52 kilograms), and
often goes shirtless when he can.
Groko is from an industrialized world but from a
poor family who stuck to the wilderness surrounding
the city, and as he grew up he began hiring his
services as guide to those people needing
clandestine passage between the industrial cities.
He was drafted into the militia and taught basic
military principles. He excelled in demolitions and
their disposal. On his first mission, he was
supposed to blow up an installation of space pirates
excavating on his planet, but doing so would have
harmed several civilians. He couldn’t do it, and so
he escaped the military. He lived in hiding for a
while, because it is treasonous to quit the militia.
His mother took all the money she had and paid a
spacer at a nearby port to allow Groko passage, to
get him off his home world so he wouldn’t face the
charges for the crime of his heart. He’s now a
drifter looking for a place to sell his skills and find a
home.
