Discussion thread to set up our Starship crew for this campaign.
STARSHIP ROLES
You’re going to be working with your fellow crew members on a Company freighter, so you need to consider your starship role. Most themes detailed in this article suggest possible starship roles. Those that don’t might lend themselves to a character who can fill any role, depending on class and skills. At the very least, your group needs an engineer, a gunner, a pilot, and a science officer. Look for opportunities to build your characters to fill other roles, too, including chief mate and magic officer
| Supreme Being |
WHO YOU ARE
We hired you because you fit our needs. Your assignment should suit yours. All we require is that you understand your role and seek to fulfill it. In doing so, apply your expertise, work hard, use good judgment, support your team, and cling to integrity. Expect as much from yourself as you do from others... DATABASE CORRUPTION...
All right, let’s cut the crap. To the Company, you’re just an employee number. The Company doesn’t care about your skill, industriousness, or honesty. The Company cares about three things, and that’s money, money, and more money. Remember that. Keep being a good little source of profit and you’ll be fine. But if you cause trouble or stop being useful, you’ll be ejected like yesterday’s garbage.

Also posted the following in recruitment, to be sure everyone sees it.
For ship roles, magic officer is the best fit for Marcellus (being a out-of-time witchwarper), with chief mate being the second best fit (giving he grew up in Sandpoint just before Rise of the Runelords AP events started to happen, so he the tech of the far-flung future is something he did not grow up with having familiarity with).
As for the third-best fit for Marcellus, pilot or gunner would make better fits than engineer or science officer, as he could more easily learn how to fly or shoot, as opposed to the years of study to be an engieer or scientist.
Between pilot and gunner, pilot would align with his outlook more than gunner.

(Seth86) as possible gunner (as good as fit for the skittermander gunner pilot)
Apologies to anyone else who already posted in recruitment info that could be used to include you. My screen is starting to give me a headache and need to take a break from being so close to it for a bit.

Reporting in! Like I said in the recruitment thread, I got a few character concepts for most of the available "backgrounds" from the AP, so I'm gonna give the others a chance to clarify the classes they're playing so I'm not being...y'know, redundant?
Leaning right now to the "Golden Parachute" or "Kalistocrat Childhood" or "Mine Collapse" concepts, however (to clarify, these wouldn't be one person who could be slotted into any of those three, they're three different concepts I'd pick one from).

A couple of notes about how I run things in PbP for Pathfinder 2e...
1. Since Surprise rounds are almost unheard of in PF2e you will not be allowed to have your weapon out before combat for free. I've lost multiple players over this, but I enforce it because none of the adversaries have their weapons out either, and I don't want to change all their actions before combat. I've loosened up a bit on taking potions etc before entering an encounter... but the no weapons ready is set in stone. If you want to have a weapon out without spending an action, take "Quick Draw".
2. I'm a big fan of "Secret checks" but it slows things down tremendously in PbP so I'm okay for everyone to roll all their checks. If this becomes a metagaming problem. (Oh! he rolled a one so I'm going to check for traps as well), then we'll address it at the time. Exploration actions should take care of who rolls when, so be sure to tell me if you've changed up your exploration activity during play.
3. I'll roll initiative for everyone to speed things up.
4. I reward Hero Points more often for playing your characters quirks and personality than anything so fire up those cool out of encounter mode ideas.
5. I struggle a bit with social encounters because by rule most of these take 10-minutes. There are feats to reduce that time, so I don't want to handicap those willing to spend a feat to allow quick interjection... so we'll work together to RP these. In the past I've just rolled initiative for both social and combat encounters to allow those who'd like to try to talk their way out of situations a chance to do so before the bullets start flying.
6. For those of you unfamiliar with Owl Bear Rodeo, it's a simple VTT that you don't have to purchase to use. I will send a link to the campaign when ready and as long as you don't use a different device or clear your cookies it will remember where you are when you go back. Please find an image you'd like to use for your token, and I'll make the tokens and add them to OBR. In the past I made a Discord group for out of character sharing of stuff. Let me know if this would make things easier and I can do the same here. I can also share my DemiPlane subscription with those interested, but I'd like to wait a couple of sessions to make sure we're continuing as these shares are a limited resource.
I'll add more as I think of them, then summarize these in the Campaign thread.

Solely in case you aren't familiar and for the sake of clarity, Solarian has a handy class feature that allows them to manifest their weapons upon rolling initiative.
You steady your body and mind and attune yourself to the stellar aspect of your choice. You become attuned to photon or graviton. You can also manifest any of your solar manifestations if they're currently dormant and if you have the free hands to use them.
Special In addition to the above usage, you can also Attune as a free action when you roll initiative.

Speaking of Solarian, I'm leaning towards that class given we have magic, muscle and mischief covered to varying degrees, and I think I'm gonna lock into the "Golden Parachute" concept. Just have to decide on their ancestry and whether their relationship with Sinjin was just partners-in-crime or partners-in-crime, if you know what I'm sayin'. ;)

Just posted a link to Starbuilder 2d character generator. There is a free version... but I recommend upgrading to the paid version. It's only like a one-time fee of $5.00 or so, and well worth it for both Pathfinder and Starfinder.
Later today I'll post a link to Owl Bear Rodeo room for you guys to play around in. When I get your character portraits I'll make tokens and put them there as well.

Hello everyone, I'm happy to be here with you. I'll fill out the details in my character sheet this week. Currently trying to find a good character portrait, turns out scruffy android mechanics aren't as common as one would hope.
| Makaleku |
Question.
If my character can bake. What skill would I use? I'm thinking he learned that most humanoids like deserts. And he kinda learned how to make cookies.
Don't want to step on Cookie's toes. Just a little thing my character picked up
| Marcellus Magravi |
@GM: which year is the campaign starting in? using the Starfinder equivalent of our current year (2026) or the year the Fly Free or Die AP was published (late 2020)?
I ask as I am working with Marcellus arrived in the future during the launch year of Starfinder 1E (2017)...so want to know if Marcellus has been in the future for 3 years or 9 years so far...as it will impact Part 2 of his character backstory (which starts with him 'popping' into 'existence' in Jatembe Park in Absalom Station and the first being he encoutered was the linked NPC to his AP background, the brenneri Tarika (and her daughter).
As he will not share a language with her yet, going to work in her daughter was climbing a tree and fell, and Marcellus saved her before she hit the ground. Grateful to the stranger, who is speaking a language she does not understand, she helped Marcellus out, including finding someone who could comprehend what he was saying....and from there will expand Part 2 of his character background story, after if Marcellus has been in the 'future' for 3 years (making him, biologically speaking, 32 years old) or nine years (making him biologically 38 years old).
He was 18 when Heather was killed in his reality, and in the alternate reality they were married when he was 18 and Heather gave birth to the twins when Marcellus was 19.
I still have to purchase gear, finish Part 2 of his character backstory (and fill out any other details on the notes section of his starbuilder character sheet).
Here is the link for his (mostly finished) starbuilder character sheet.
Marcellus Magravi's character sheet
One of the languages he will have for his bonus languages will be the brenneri native tongue (so he can communicate with the first two beings he met and befriended upon first arriving in the future: Tarika and her daughter.
If it is okay, I would like to tweak the specifics of the New Hire PG background to better work in his connection to when Tarika got him a job with 'the company'. He reveres Desna and being a 'traveller from a different time' the church of Desna took him in and provided him room and board as they taught him some of the languages of the future. He kept in touch with Tarika during this time (will have more specific details when I type up Part 2 of his character background), and when the priests fell confident that Marcellus was fully capable and knowledgeable about the new time he has found himself in, he chose to stay on as a hired hand at the church, and a few years later when a sense of wanderlust was starting to get stronger and he mentioned it to Tarika, she offered to get him a job at the company so he could start 'exploring the stars'.

Added languages, added the correct tags for his stomach-mouth (nom nom nom)
He can grapple good :P while gnawing on you

It's Lore(Cooking), though I suppose if you want to be specific, it'd be Lore (Baking). And no worries, a good kitchen has two cooks to feed a hungry crew.

I think we'll stick with the original publication date as the universe is constantly changing and I don't want any events to change the AP.

Anyone have any recommendations for finding character portraits? For some reason every artist ever seems to like their androids cleanshaven and well groomed instead of the scruffy and weathered look I'm picturing

If I come across any such pics, I will provide a link.
Since you have already been looking and have not found any, maybe save a picture of Scruffy from Futurama (or some other non-android character that looks similar to how you envision Cookie) and then edit him in picture editor to add in some android circuit lines?
If going with the alternate option above: looking on IMDB and browsing pictures for pirate movies might be one of the ways to weight the odds to find a picture of a cast member who you find might be a picture that captures how you envision him (sans android circuit lines).
Another option is to use Hero Forge and to create a model and then take screen shots of him.
I am going to take the next few minutes create a basic starting old scruffy-looking android character on HF for you, then post the link for it, so you can edit further (clothing, gear, coloring.
| Supreme Being |
| Kala Jayne |
Make that several minutes instead. :)
scruffy male android, circuits not glowing
scruffy make android, circuits glowing
If you go the HF route, adjust the non-glowing mini....then all you have to do to make the circuits be glowing, is do the following steps:
1) (left column menu) Select Color
2) (expanded left column menu) select Mix
3) (top right) from Main Paints, select the color used for the circuits
4) scroll down right colum, to bottom to Glow
5) slide scale from left side (0) to right side (1)

Special thanks to @Kayla Jayne for their help with this:
I'm pleased to introduce C00K13!
Refreshing myself on Androids, I am reminded that they don't technically age, but also how they only stay in their bodies for a given time until they give it up and allow another soul to pilot it. C00K13 just happened to decide to try and give aging a chance to see what it as like (at least from a surface level) after being influenced by some folks around him. More to come.

You are welcome, Cook13. (I used the wrong alias when I posted earlier..Kala Jayne is my character for another SF2E I got accepted into recently.)
The mini looks great!
Did you intentionally leave his fingernails uncolored, didn't realize you did or if you did colour them, which colour did you use for his fingernails (or did I forget to colour them for the starting model you expanded on)?
If they are not coloured yet, in your Paint Mix, the unamed paint gives them a good weathered look to them (if it is not named unnamed paint on your end..it has the leather bag icon, and is not leather bag icon for the following colours: grotto fern, hero forge banner red
...two leather bag icons say unnamed paint (on my end looking at your mini)....the one I am referring to is the gray-looking leather bag icon).

* I am customizing the campaign background to incorporate the unusual way he got to 'the future' and met Tarika (Part 2 of his character background will involve Tarika (and her daughter) a fair bit (as Marcellus has lost the ability to watch his alternate universe's twins grow up, he gains some comfort in imagining how the twins and Tarika's daughter might be friends in another alternate universe, which causes him to use his Warp Reality class feature to discover that:
They are in another alternate timeline of in which a version of him (who's Heather had perished during the goblin raid on Sandpoint during the Swallowtail Festival) and had managed to swap places with an alternate version who married Heather and had the twins - and when he tried to make it so the twins real father and him swapped positions in th time/space/dimension, things went awry and that version of the Marcellus (with twins fathered by a different alternate Marcellus) also got sent to 'the future'. Some of the alternate realities there is only a daughter that was brought to the future, and some that only the son was brought to the future. So far, none of them have had an alternate version of his lost love, Heather, in the future. The memories of his Heather are the bulk of his Core Memories class feature.
Whereas that alternate version of him remains in Absalom Station to raise his twins (that were fathered by another variant of himself), his Core Memories include the memories of watching the twins of one (or more than one?) alternate versions of him growing up, he chose to remain on as a worker at the Desna temple, so he could continue to watch the twins grow up.
As it will be 9 years since Marcellus arrived in the future (and the alternate versions of him and the, at the time of arriving in the future, were 10 year old twins, are now 19 years old and have left the nest, Marcellus took Tarika up on her offer to get him a job at the Company.

Flooring a question to the GM and the rest of the party: I'm debating whether to be a Solarian or a Shadow Connection Mystic. Which do you feel would be better for the party?
Their core concept beyond class is that they were an Unbound Lashunta who joined the Golden League and learned martial arts and some mystical techniques as a Xun while they were partnered with Sinjin.

Select only one of these backgrounds with each player choosing a different one.

Flooring a question to the GM and the rest of the party: I'm debating whether to be a Solarian or a Shadow Connection Mystic. Which do you feel would be better for the party?
Their core concept beyond class is that they were an Unbound Lashunta who joined the Golden League and learned martial arts and some mystical techniques as a Xun while they were partnered with Sinjin.
I agree play whichever you want. I'm a bigger fan of the Mystic class myself... but you should play whichever you like better.

Tentative Final Crew Positions so that first-choice slots are used first to slot in a character, then second choice if needed, then third choice if neeeded:
Captain --> (will be voted on) _____
Chief Mate --> _____
Engineer --> Cook13 (Mainer), *Dosheen-45 (tomtesserae)
Gunner --> (no 1st choice selection); 2nd choice selection: Cook13 (Mainer), Makaleku (Seth86); 3rd choice selection: Dosheen-45 (tomtesserae)
Magic Officer --> Marcellus Magravi (GM_Drake)
Pilot --> Makaleku (Seth86), *Dosheen-45 (tomtesserae)
Science Officer --> Laniakea (Avatar of Interest)
Notes: Archpaladin Zousha's (unnamed?) PC is slotted in with campaign background below (I have not done a thorough double-check thorough read-through of recruitment and discussion threads to see if includes a ranked role position post for APZ). ==> which, with above positions filled could leave APZ's PC as one of two PCs unassigned to Captain and First Mate slots, decided by votes by the players who are slotted into one of the other roles; which gives 5 player votes (so no possible tie for Captain, provided no one abstains their vote), with the voters being: Avatar of Interest, GM_Drake, Mainer, Seth86, tomtesserae

Former Smuggler
Kalistocrat Childhood
| Vegoia Reisora |
Reporting in! After careful consideration, I decided to revise the character into the Kalistocrat Childhood background, which I figured would be fine since no one had taken it.
Best choice: Chief Mate
Secondary choice: Gunner
Tertiary choice: Magic Officer
3rd-worse role: Pilot
2nd-worse role: Engineer
worst role: Science Officer
(Technically I have all the skills to act as Captain, but as that position is being voted on I didn't think it'd be appropriate to use it as one of my choices.)
Name: Archpaladin Zousha
Character Name: Vegoia Reisora
Ancestry and Heritage: Lashunta (Unbound Lashunta)
Class and Subclass: Solarian
Background: Raised by Belief (Prophecies of Kalistrade)
Campaign Background: Kalistocrat Childhood
Do you have an image for creating a token: I can use the forum avatar for the time being, though I'd be happy to make something like C00KI3's HeroForge thing too if that's preferred.
Are you part of the Discord Group? Yes
Are you opting into the DemiPlane Campaign? I'm not exactly certain what that'd mean, but from a cursory glance I'd need to subscribe for money for it? If that's not the case, I'd be happy to join either.
Any special notes: None that I can think of at the moment.

Marcellus Magravi's Starbuilder character sheet
Marcellus Magravi's Hero Forge mini
Added a bit more detail to HF mini (including adding ring) and switched starknife ability score from default Str to Dex on Starfinder character sheet.
The default trained score he uses for Assurance during his daily preparation is Piloting.
