Hello all!
You can go to the link that is up on top of the page, to the left (and that you'll always find there), that I named Sideshow Slideshow, which has all the slides of the game (where the maps and handouts and images will be etc.).
So, you can go to that link, which link? This --> (link... and you can fill some information out (the name you want on your chronicle sheet, the name of your character etc.) ; and, below, you can put in your name and the bonus you have in Init' & Perception...

Gogglez and Hole Puncher reporting in, thanks! Since marching order is on the sheet, I'll just let you know now that Gogglez has a pet carrier armor mod that stores his hover drone until combat starts, so he doesn't need to be in the marching order, but I just put his token underneath Gogglez's.

Thanks again SFS!
Just figuring out which character I want to bring through...

So what's everyone's general deal? For example, Pyksi's a mercenary fighter interceptor pilot; on-foot combat isn't her idea of a good time, so she makes due with sniper rifles to keep her distance and stealthy maneuvers when that's not possible (sniping from stealth and/or Trick Attack using stealth). She has kind of a cool, military demeanor.

So...
@Googlez & Pyksi & the other who will be signing in: you can make your Day Job rolls here, like Cashara, so that way it is done.
@Googlez & Pyksi & the other who will be signing in: do you have your Welcome to Starfinder Boon, was one given to you?
This is a boon that you receive as a welcome to playing Starfinder, and can use with your first character, the one with the -701 number.
@All (except Gogglez, who probably had HolePuncher do the work!): can you enter your character's name and their bonus in Perception and Initiative, like Googlez did.
@Do not forget to put your minis up on slide 3 (thanks to those who did so already). So they can be used if there ever is some combat!
If you do not know how to do so, I'll help, but you simply can take a screenshot of your avatar, and then paste that on the slide, and reduce the size.
And... we have:
A Drone Mechanic, two Operatives, and a Mystic.
If we hear from Peff I imagine he might be bringing a Solarian.
So, for Anxa, it seems that of the characters of yours I know, Baròleg might bring diversity to the group's classes, but any one of them would be fine, truly.
I'll let you finish all this out, and see what our last two characters are.
And I'll start the Gameplay introductions now.
Later on, as we play, we can have a look at character sheets if any want, to give one another tips etc. (remember that you can change your character totally - even change the race/class - up until you play your PC at level 2 for the first time).

Yep, I got my welcome to starfinder boon. Since I started playing when the game came out, everyone was handing them out. I never got my pathfinder one though since I started playing long after it started.
I'm rusty on how slotting boons works in Starfinder, but I'm slotting my dataphiles faction one and I guess a couple slotless ones as well.
Having met the amalgam of intelligence known as Guidance, you have successfully completed your induction into the Starfinder Society. The Society offered you a sub-dermal implant as part of your commencement. You receive this augmentation for free.
This implant rests underneath the skin of the palm of one hand...The augmentation can be activated or deactivated mentally as a swift action. Activating the implant causes a rendition of the Starfinder Society's symbol to glow underneath the skin. This augmentation acts as a mark, letting others know you are a member of the Starfinder Society. It also increased the light level within 5 feet by one step while active.
During your commencement missions, you had the chance to pick up your own copy of the latest album from sugar-pop sensation Strawberry Machine Cake. This album is already a pact worlds hit and has quadrupled in price...You can decide to keep the album, which might somehow prove useful in the future.
Venture-captain Arvin presented you with a commemorative insignia in gratitude for your services to the starfinder society. Although it appears to be an ordinary medal showing the symbol of the Starfinder Society, this insignia can store as much information as a common tier-1 datapad. Unless told about this secret, a non-starfinder must succeed at a DC 20 Perception or Sense Motive check to realize the insignia is a storage device. This insignia is worth 0 credits and cannot be sold.
You defeated the dreaded Besmaran pirate ship, Lawblight, showcasing your determination during an intense starship combat. This boon activates anytime your starship is reduced to 0 or fewer Hull Points. Your starship immediately regains a number of Hull Points equal to its tier x 5. A starship can never regain more than 30 Hull Points in this manner.

I'm not sure how boons work in Starfinder (especially online!) but:
I'm using my Scoured Stars Field Experience to boost to level 2, and I'm slotting

I'm not sure how boons work in Starfinder (especially online!)
They work the same online as tabletop.
You "slot" your boons (during/after the mission briefing, so you still have time to change some before we start - the GM prompts you when it is time, also giving any 'hints' the scenario provides as to what you might want to slot).
As stated above: you can slot as many Slotless as you want, and 1 Boon per "named" Slot.
So, for Pyksi:
• Scoured Stars Field Experience is the choice you decide for in your Scoured Stars Veteran boon, which is a Slotless Boon. So, using it does not prevent you from using any other boons.
So you have now used it and cannot use it again.
(you've added the XP and Credits and Fame etc., correct?)
• Scoured Stars Survivor is a Personal Boon, so when you decide to slot it during an adventure, you cannot slot any other Personal Boon you might have (but when you acquire other Personal Boons you can then choose at the start of each scenario which to slot).
And a warm sunny (or lunar?) welcome to the Solarion Korl "Voidfist" Larst.
The team is now complete, so I will pursue with the start of the adventure.
Take your time completing your characters, any purchases, introducing them to all etc., since we will only truly be getting off to active adventuring in a couple days at least, after the briefing.

@Pyksi if I were you, I'd maybe make a list of the adventures you've played somewhere on your character sheet, like:
• 1st - 1-99: Scoured Stars
• 2nd - 1-28: It Rests Beneath
And then show what your XP total is, maybe w. a note where the extra XP come from, like:
3 XP (w. 2 xp bonus from 1-99 Boon)
I'd think that's enough.
But there are other ways, I'm sure.

Boons:
(Slotless) Welcome to Starfinder
While every character can purchase a serum of healing, this free gift is more potent than a typical starting serum. The elixir is also good at curing ability damage, which often accompanies poison, disease, and other afflictions. Consider this option if you cannot cast healing spells and want a powerful way to heal yourself in an emergency.
(Faction)Exo-Guardians Champion
Also, the lack of Vesk avatars :(

As a player (so this 100% subjective) I like the Vocal Amp a lot (and it is super cheap) and find it very nice & useful for certain characters.
But I do not find the Retinal Reflectors really good (I don't think I've ever seen Lowlight be used, vs. Darkvision which is useful now and then - though a lot less than in Pathfinder), and, they are quite expensive (for me, it's a lot of money for what amounts to a +1 in Perception).

... they are quite expensive (for me, it's a lot of money for what amounts to a +1 in Perception).
I do like the look of the Amp, especially with a character that has voice based powers.
I am waffling on the Reflectors. I forgot this character can pick up carbon skin/graphite armor from a sheet, and that is a good deal more helpful for the same price range.
SLOTTED BOONS:
Ally: Duskmire Alligence: Yeti
Faction: Exo-Guardian Champion
Social: Faction's Friend
Slotless: Marked Field Agent, Sugar Heart Love!
