Bindoner, I think it comes down to being a waskally wabbit or the ever elusive Wiley E Coyote. I think the second one is better choice.

Take a look at my character Silvertongue

This is The Cynic, over...

Just finished character generation from a manual roll. I posted it in my character sheet. I apologize that it is a bit messy but I wanted to have some transparency. I'll clean it up as soon as it is approved. I'm OK with changing things or re-rolling if everyone thinks its a good idea.

Cheers.

Welcome aboard, Maiokus. I appreciate your interest and look forward to getting to know you and the other new faces through this adventure.

The Referee relays...

Malcolmshaw
The character looks good based on a cursory glance (I will take a closer look later today hopefully), but if you could go ahead and post the background generation in the thread itself and then be sure to add in details regarding the events, that would be good. You can do this in notes similar to how Bindoner did it, or you can write short descriptions after each section. For example, in Term 1 Silvertongue received a special duty. You could write it as

Special Duty Roll = 11 (5 required); You were given Special Duties (2 bonus skills): Brief description of what the special duty was

Or this could be included in a summary paragraph at the end of the term.

Maiokus
Character looks good at first glance; please post it in the thread. Notes on the backgrounds look good.

Bindoner

Both options look good, sounds like Malcomshaw likes option 2; we can see what others think as well but in the end it's up to you which option you would like to take.

All
At the end of your character generation please provide a paragraph or so of a physical description of your character ; also an ideal or philosophy your character holds along with some form of character flaw as these will help me mold the game around your characters better. It helps to know what your characters value, otherwise I may present goals/adventures that your characters don't care about or do not have a vested interest in.

The Referee relays...

Fusil

Your first term you failed the survival roll, and as a result it stated that you were injured and invalidated out. What service/branch did the character take in Terms 2 and 3 since I would have to assume that it wasn't the Scouts since he was forced out in Term 1. You will also need to provide brief descriptions of each term and at the end of your character generation please provide a paragraph or so of a physical description of your character ; also an ideal or philosophy your character holds along with some form of character flaw.
