Revealed Talent Descriptions:
Vital Augments: As Toughness Feat.
Skill Focus: As Feat.
Neuragen Implants: A neuragen implant gives the user the capacity to use almost supernatural powers obtained from strange objects called Devices. Essentially, they can spend Neuragen to use these abilities. Each use of a Device costs a certain amount of Neuragen. Neuragen is replenished whenever the user has a full night's rest (8 hours). (Neuragen essentially functions as spells per day, equivalent to a Sorcerer's spells per day table.) You will however, need to find Neuragenic Devices to use this ability. *NEW*Each character will select a "caster stat" upon obtaining his or her first device from either Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma.
Aside from this, make a small physical and character description as well as the reasons for your departure to space on this colonial voyage.

What Else?
You'll notice that besides the Talents, Skills and bonuses at 1st level, nothing else is presented. This is intentional. As a derelict colony, you will need to build yourself up to unlock additional Talents. In short, the paths you take during the course of this game will determine much of the technology and talents that will become available to you.
