Nicol Dans (Adventure 0 Solo Character)

Sir Brad

SOC-13
Hey all just thought I'd post a character I've bean GMing in a Solo campaign since Boxing Day, the Character was made twice, once using Book 6 and once using Book1 & some house rules, Stats and initial enlistment where the same from there she took different rules sets, although she picked up some skills at different points in her career in each go through the end result was identical.

Assets: IISS Aurora Type S Scout/Courier, Vacc-suit, 15,000Cr Cash, 5,000Cr in Weapons and Miscellaneous Equipment.

Physical Description: Of predominately Solomani decent she is of average hight and build (if slightly busty) she has Black Hair that reaches to just above her shoulders, Fair Skin and Dark Eyes, Nicol appears slightly younger than her 30 years looking in her early to mid 20's

Personal History: Nicol was born on Emerald/Jewell to lower middle class parents, due to her raw intelligence and aptitude for learning by the time she finished her secondary schooling at age 17 she held a diploma in Geography but after her gap year had not found a Scholarship place or raised enough money to pursue an academic career so she enlisted in the Scout Service where she completed her Bachelors Degree in Geography through the IISS (Degree issued by University of Regina) during her first few years of service. In her mid 20's she became caught up supporting an Imperial Client State in the Far Frontiers sector in one of their brush wars before returning to the Imperium to serve out her time with the Scout Service and transfer to a Detached Duty assignment, obstinately a study sabbatical to complete her Masters in Geography.

In the passed three weeks we have covered about a year (10 months actually) of Game Time, a lot of it spent in Jump, a lot of Patrons have bean told to Go Jump! because what they where offering would turned a Loss or cost her to much time on her Survey thus cutting in to her Profit margin. during her time in Jump the character has worked on her Edu stat, increased her Survey skill picked up some new -0 skills (mostly interpersonal) and failed to increase some other skills. I'll likely post the upgraded character when I make a copy of it for myself so I can plan the next phase of the campaign.
 
Ok the 001-1106 update, she's now most of the way through aramis sector, at the rate she's going she will have the Aurora out of drydock for Holiday. last Holiday she was undergoing Psionic training so I haven't included her Psi powers in the new year update, she did get Telepathy, Clarasentance, Awareness and a as yet undetermined Special (I'm being lazy about it), so far she hasn't got any advances except one rank in Teleapthy, expect the Psi derails in the 1107 update. Also the Aurora has bean fitted out with an "AI" core and a Slaved Robot

Wow It's bean a long wile since I've GM'ed Nicol and longer since I've updated her, She's been collecting Level-0 Skills in the past two and a half real world years and almost four game years, I'm almost tempted to jack her JoT up to -2 and wish she'd focus on one hobby or work skill.

but I've bean GMing her over the last six weeks as a pick-up game. Game wise where most of the way to the end of 1108, if this was a term and not game play she'd have rolled well on skill acquisition. she's bean trying to increase her physicals, but she keeps missing the roll and has to re-start, the way she (the player) describes it the character has bean turning up the grav plates then hitting the weights, heavy bag, treadmill and cardo, this has bean going on since early to mid 1105, I'm tempted to just let her take her strength to 7 and maybe endurance to A

She took a few months off around the time the Aurora was in for it's 1107 refit to take a Robotics course so she now has Robotics -1.

I'll have to dig out her 1107 & 1108 day 001 character sheets and post them, then perhaps get a hold of her current character sheet since it's not likely to change before 001-1109, unless in the next few game months she hits the books to increase her Edu
 
Thanks for sharing! I am solo gaming an academic/naval rotc student currently...nice to try running with low skills.

Looking forwards to more updates!
 
can't find the 001-1107 character sheet so this is best guess taken from a mid to late 1106 and the 001-1108 character sheet, hope top have the 001-1108 up in the next couple of days.

being a Book 6 character she has a well rounded exploration/adventuring skill set after 12 years of service, since mustering out she's built up her Survey skill from nothing, picked up Combat Rifleman and Robotics in her term as a Detached Duty Scout, she's bean working on her Pilot skill for the past four game years, she's knocked her TN down to 7+ but can't make the improvement roll. I'm frightened that she'll have a bumper adventure and find that half her -0 skills will jump up to -1's since the DM+'s are getting a bit hefty on many of them and some have capped out.
