Readers, your Anchor-rat just purchased Traveller5 days ago from 08/04/2016. After an OMGcopter of pain and anguish, a chargen for this field correspondent has been finally assembled.

The Pakkrat, or ‘Pakkrat’ or ‘Pakk’ was born on 335-1059, a Gvegh Vargr male, in Knoellighz Sector of the Vargr Extents. This is a Stage Name adopted at Fame A and later C.

His original UPP at birth was 79999A. His Genetic profile is 454656 as the first ‘die’ in each Characteristic. His genetic format uses SDEIEC, substituting Social Standing out in favor of Charisma prevalent in this Major Race.

His homeworld is DUELUNOGOERRZUEZ (Knoellighz 1138) B000A79-B As Cp Cx Hi In Na C: 1036, the subsector capital and polity capital of the Infinity League, (VaV9 or VInL). His Personal Day is 25 hours.

He attended a private education company paid for by his sire and dam. He graduated easily.

The student went on to higher education at DUELUNOGOERRZUEZ Orbital University, (Rank 11). He majored in Actor towards journalism in front of the camera or holographic recorder. He graduated with a BA, MA and Professor degree in the journalism Arts. He was President of the Journalism Society of Khuzedhoth subsector.

With an Education elevated to C (12), the professor undertook a Career at age 26. The Entertainer Career of Author-reporter was a natural calling for him. Hired by an Interstellar News Society and Agency, he spent 5 Terms honing his Fame and Talent to F and B respectively. He gained several skills in his time of field correspondence and reporting for a news agency. The reporter has no true Rank but is famous throughout the Greater System.

Mustering Out at age 46, the Professor-Reporter earned a total of Cr70,000 plus a Wafer Jack cybernetic implant, and his experiences honed his vitality (+1 Endurance) and Strength (+1).

The final UPP for this Vargr upon Mustering Out is 7889DA. He has not Awakened to Psionics as of 1105. Aging upon this esteemed reporter caused a loss of one point of Strength, Dexterity and Endurance each.

His Life Pursuit is: Field Journalism as a Correspondent, Actor, Charisma, (4+A=14). He hopes to win a journalism prize for field correspondence.
He inherited from his well-heeled parents a book that was banned by the nearby polity, Ascendancy Pact, the next empire Coreward along the so-called Bridge of Destiny in Knoellighz Sector.

In his on-location, gazetteer style of field reporting, the Pakkrat has detailed and covered the following regions, polities, worlds and astrographic features:

Infinity League – In a trade alliance with the nearby Zhodani Consulate; a buffer polity between the Consulate and the other empires of the Sector.

Bridge of Destiny – A Jump-1 main stretching from Spinward-Rimward to Coreward-Trailing in Knoellighz Sector.

Zhodani Consulate – Found in Knoellighz Sector’s Spinward subsectors.

Crystal Wall of Knoellighz - A socio-political and cultural boundary between the Zhodani and the Vargr of Knoellighz Sector.

Ascendancy Pact – An empire neighboring the Infinity League along the Bridge of Destiny.

Quiet Wars - Silent and quick skirmishes between polity navies to continually mark and enforce territories, Charisma and polity borders in Knoellighz Sector.

Serue (Knoellighz 1221) – Highest known Tech Level F (15) world in the Sector.

Serue’s Tech Summit – A multi-empire summit meeting gathered every four years on neutral Serue.

Gateway to Ghoekhnael – A 63-world, Jump-1 main extending Coreward from Knoellighz and into Ghoekhnael Sector.

OENLAETSVAEG (Ghoekhnael 1938) - Three years into his freelance field correspondence, he was captured by malignant forces of a high-tech society bent on domination still mustering its TL 15 forces in-system post-1105. Accused of spying, he was thrown into a lightless dungeon, tortured, and augmented when he finally broke and agreed (against his will) to be conscripted into the soldier caste of that world. The offered alternative was a slow, painful death and then being eaten by local, cannibal Vargr scientists. During his sightless recovery, the reporter was rescued and evacuated back to Serue. Physicians and psychologists re-rated his UPP to 8898DA reflecting an increase in Strength and Endurance at the cost of mental stability. Therapy ensued directly after repatriation and recovery. His current Sanity rating is still under analysis for PTSD.

ROETHOEEGAEAEGZ (Knoellighz 1726) an Amber/Red Zoned (depending on one’s gender) world and matriarchy of melded Church and State (see wiki Library entry). Current assignment at local orbital Highport.

Nicely done.

I suspect his language skill is better than recorded - i.e. there are special rules when learning languages, so three receipts is three languages. Native language skill is equal to EDU at the start of the career, and the other skill levels IIRC descend from there.

So Pakk's three non-native languages, whatever they are, are at levels 11, 10, and 9. Unless I am mistaken.
 
The Pakkrat's Languages

In that region of Charted Space, his spoken languages, in order are: Gvegh, Aekhu, Zhodani and Anglic.

Still debating if it is newsworthy to descend from the Highport to the surface Downport on Roethoeegaeaegz (Knoellighz 1726) to cover, on-location this very strange yet relaxing world. EDITED for spelling of the mainworld.

So he'd be Gvegh-12, Aekhu-11, Zhodani-10 and Anglic-9, I do believe. Highly technically skilled in Gvegh, and college-level fluency in Anglic.

Write up a couple of pages on Roethoegaeaegz and I'll put it in Imperiallines.
 
Look up that world on the wiki. Map, stats, society, and more. Layout as desired. Downport, Highport and Religion on Discussion tab.
