I use notepad++ for all my characters, it autosaves every 7 seconds, so even if my PC has a touch of delirium and shuts itself down, of if I have a mental stutter myself and close it, I lose very little.
You could even have progression, have each player play a family line, while the characters change, they "inherit" the same stats as the previous member (maybe an alloted number of changes to give some variation).
Or if everyone's keen on making new characters every "Age", then rebuilding each time is fine too.
It also means you could have generational magic items, A simple spear infused with magic in the time before history began becomes a legendary weapon passed down through the ages.
And since I still half-fancied playing a droid, I decided to see what I could come up with:

Background
Despite his flaws, when the Rebel Alliance acquired him from an Imperial Confiscated Goods dump, they pressed him into service, and were pleased to find that some previous owner had actually updated the inferior model droid to Astromech capability.
His Previous Owner was Malar Quinn, a hacker who used Beefy as a sort of personal assistant, neglecting his starship functions, until he was caught by Imperial authorities and impounded, pending further investigation.
Before Malar was Hafoudi, a Duros spacer, who kept him as a hobby project, trying to make him into a competant Astromech unit, before he finally managed to acquire the superior R2 unit and sold him off.
Beefy's first owner was Aliqua Xil, manager of the "Exxers" a band operating mostly in Hut space. He bought the droid to assist with maintaining the band's Transport and as a bonus to work to record performances in places where more professional equipment could be setup. Beefy remembers this time with fondness, and still keeps holo-clips of the band in his memory.
Beefy has a sense that he had other owners before this, but was subjected to the brutal practice of a memory wipe.
Appearance
At one point, "Beefy" had a gloss-black paintjob, however little is evident of it any more, panels have been replaced and paintwork burned or chipped off, he looks very much like a beaten up junk droid, the likes of which jawa's might pedal.
Persona
Beefy is belligerent and argumentative, much preferring to argue than perform any actual work, that said he is ultimately obedient to his masters and will obey when an order is given.
Due to his work with Malar Quinn, he has developed a smattering of slicing skill, and the personality to use his skills for such.
Lacking the ability to actually speak Basic, but having a Holo-Projector he plays back these clips at certain times to work as his own "catch-phrases", occasionally stitching together multiple clips to create strange little conversational snippets.
Will probably go with the Pirate though, unless it shakes out that we need a techie more than a Scoundrel.
Okay, so I thought I'd jump in and refresh my memory of Star Wars D6 (with the REUP rules). I think it must have been mid-90's last time I looked these rules.
Not 100% sure it's what I want to play yet, but may I present Aayita Ssang, Twi-Lek Pirate (yes I know, it's neither a noble nor an R2, I am changeable as the winds)
Slightly modified the Pirate Template as it's Mechanical ability was above the Twi-Lek maximum, so shifted it's +2 down to Perception. Also used Persuasion as a skill since Twi-Lek get a bonus with it, though it's not on the pirate skill list.
Racial Abilities Tentacles Twi-Lek's can use their tentacles to communicate in secret with each other.
Skill Bonus During Character creation recieves 2D for every 1D in Persuassion
Story Factor - SlaverySlavery is so ingrained as the main trade of Ryloth that most Twi-Leks are generally thought to be slaves or consorts and are treated as 2nd class citizens, particularly in Hutt space.
Gear
Flashy Clothes
Lots of rings and things
Blaster Pistol (4Ddmg) (ammo:100; Fire Rate:1; Range:3-10/30/120)
Saber (STR+1D+1dmg) (Moderate)
Comlink
Vacuum Suit
2000 Credits (may spend some pre-game, waiting to see party makeup)
Background
Aayita was heir to Ssang trading group, until it was dismantled by Imperial forces six years ago. Her family went into hiding and used their wealth to harrangue and instigate against the empire, annoying the Empire in this way can only go on for so long and in a bid to save their daughter as the Empire's noose tightened she was signed on with a pirate crew with links to the Rebellion...
Appearance
Aayita is a fairly short, with a slender physique, in the manner of most twi-leks (though her father was getting portly in his age) and is a fairly common blue in skin-tone.
She holds herself with confidence, though is fairly skilled at passing herself off as other types. The submissive slave, the enticing courtesan or the surly pirate.
Aayita generally wears a black jacket and pants with a simple white shirt, though while operating as a pirate she was known to amp it up with a deep red variant of imperial dress uniform, in an attempt to mock them with her presence.
Persona
While not playing up to a role Aayita is fairly driven in bitterness towards the Empire, as far as she's concerned they destroyed her family and her entitlements. While she likes to plan for every opportunity, when the dice are down she's impulsive and will discard a plan as soon as things stop playing to it's tune, relying on sheer luck and brass to win through.
Objectives
Long Term: Dismantle the Empire and start to rebuild her family and the trading group.
Short Term: Don't get caught, build resources, give the Empire an itch.
At the very least the scoring lets you know where to expend your effort on improving your character.
And I try to never be offended for not being selected, given the average of about 30 characters per game started (thinking more PF here, the numbers for other games are short).
May I present Lorelai, the Arcane Trickster and wearer of many faces.
Gear isn't final, because I haven't rolled for it yet. I've not made a D&D 5 character above 3rd level before, so please excuse me if I've made any mistakes.

Background
Lorelai begin life with virtually nothing except a sense of self-importance. Her mother was a simple tavern girl, impregnated by some dashing elven "lord" she never saw again. Lorelai was not content to stuck with the same fate, her quick hands and mind earned her coin, through theft when necessary, though she much preferred to trick her marks out of their coin.
Moving on early and with scarecly a farewell to her mother she kept moving through her young life, staying in one place too long made people get suspicious, every new town she'd alter her appearance a little and give herself a new name. The scams got bigger as her skills increased, managing to learn a few spells from from people she managed to dupe only added to her repertoire, but she's growing disatisfied. She can take whatever she wants, but no-one even knows her real name - she'll never be remembered by future generations and her deeds won't live on in legend - no-one knows about them.
And so she has split down a new path, she still wears disguises, no sense in trialling new tricks with your own name, get some practice in first, but it's a start on the journey to recognition and heroism.
Appearance
Lorelai is nondescript, she can pass for a slightly heavy elf or slim human, with preparation and materials she can adjust her body more-so, with padded clothes, or tight-wrapping. Her natural hair is a mid blonde-brown, though she is adept at changing it's colour, her eyes are blue. She stands a around 5'6".
Personality
Lorelai is so used to imitating other people, that she scarcely knows who she is any more. She has a vague idea that she wants to become a hero, but she's not quite sure how to go about it. She distances herself from her own actions, referring to herself in the third person, as she does with her many other persona's.
I'm currently in the process of throwing all the abilities I want at a notepad before pruning down to a reasonable level.
As a core ability I want immunity or near immunity to radiation and disease. I presume they both fall under the purview of Resistant (Metabolic Hazards) for a big 30 pt chunk (or 15 if I decide to drop to "just" +8 to HT rolls to resist).
Chel is certainly not duke material, in fact she's most content when someone's telling her what to do (though she can be quite pro-active and adaptive in serving her lord best).
Never actually made a character for this before, I'm running form the "Players Guide".
It seems to conflict on what ratings you should have on General Abilities, so I can spread them around more or up them more if suggested?

Background
Chel was raised in near seculusion by her mentors, a small group of three children trained in the arts of the quiet kill, deception and the quick escape. One of her sisters died in a training accident in her early teens, leaving Chel and Sian to train alone
About two years ago their mentors failed to turn up, thinking it another test Chel and Sian waited for three days before finally making their escape. Finding nothing but abandoned tunnels for miles Chel and Sian turned their skills to survival, hunting the dire rats and other vermin of the tunnels. Sian got sick and died before they even met another survivor, looking only to survival Chel harvested her body for food, not even realising most cultures would see this as a taboo.
Eventually after weeks on her own Chel discovered the Colony, dropping to one knee in subserviance she swore to them
"I give you my blade and my service, give me purpose" was her only statement.
Appearance
Chel is a lithe, wiry young girl, she has no idea how old she may be but she appears in her late teens.

Background
Akaia was born to merchant family, but left to her own devices. Her parents were busy with their work, either leaving Akaia to occupy herself or in the care of a governess.
Unbeknown to the current folk of the family, in days long past they worshipped fell gods in a cult and their ancient family home had a secret room in the cellar.
With little else to occupy her time, Akaia's explorations found her way to this secret place and the profane tomes it contained.
The prophecies of the End Times in particular caught her attention, it detailed the rise of a Dark Prophet, who would be born an orphan but rise to godhood and burn the world. Her childish mind, suffering from lack of attention and with dreams of greatness started to see herself in the role of prophet. She was almost an orphan for all the care her parents gave her after all...
As the years past her mind twisted further, and she sought to force the prophecy on herself, eventually killing her parents in her beds, making her a true orphan. She burned the Dark Mark onto her flesh and awoke to power.
Unbeknown to her the "Dark Mark" was Yellow Sign, and drew Hastur's attention.
Appearance & Persona
Akaia appears at first glance to be a typical Talingarde woman, of the mid-upper classes. Tall and regal of bearing with raven-black hair. Her eyes proud and filled with purpose.
Her mind however is somewhat twisted, obsessed with the book of the prophecies and narcissistic in extremis, she believes she is destined to godhood and that any obstacles in her way are just a setback and her rise is inevitable.
The fact that she has developed powers has collapsed her way out, she see's her oracle abilities as manifest proof of her rise.
It's not that far fetched to have a character who wants to be an artist, but can't make it pay, so has to turn to other talents to y'know eat and stuff.

Background
Grezzia is a scion of the Ironstone clan, a clan which has dragged itself into the current century through unusually savvy leadership. A hundred years past the clan started minding and found their lands rich in Iron and gemstones. Rather than just use such finds to forge more weapons and armour the clan started to trade it's excess with the nearby humans, initially surprised at how successful they were they slowly turned from hunter-gatherer-raiders to tradesmen, eventually sending heavily armoured caravans to other peoples for new trade.
A hundred years later the clan is more of a merchant house, though internal politics are still savage and violent affairs with clan leadership determined by brutal no-holds barred duals. As a result it is common for children of the rulers and high placed officials to adventure or hire out as mercenaries to hone their skills.
Grezzia herself is a product of the situation, practicing her skills and abilities, intending to return to the clan in later life and carve a place for herself.
Appearance
Grezzia imitates human fashion, in a manner. She stands a good 6 1/2 feet tall, with the broad, muscular physique common to her species, as her family before her she has learned to adopt a more upright posture than her less civilised cousins and she dresses in a close approximation of human styles. Simple blouse and trousers, usually covered by her armoured greatcoat, her massive sword sheathed across her back.
I've been watching Ashes of Valkana,and would be up for some AGE goodness. Been intending on picking up at least the PDF anyway, so I'll be back later...
Oops, was just looking for a martial spear.
I'm not reposting the character just for that, if selected I'll swap it for either a Glaive or a Longspear.

Background
Unalaqunaria (meaning: Whisper in the shadows, Stalker of the dark)killed her father, it was no big conspiracy or evil intent, it wasn't even to protect another, she shot him in a hunting accident. A quick shot, straight through the eye and his life was over.
Una terrified as to her tribe's reaction didn't wait to find out, discarding her bow she fled. Heading to find life in the cities of the civilised man.
Despite her skills, she's refused to pick up a bow or any weapon that operates at a range greater than a few yards, since the accident.
Appearance
Unalaqunaria is a tall muscular woman, standing a little over 6' tall and lacking the soft curves of more civilised womenfolk. Her skin is a deep tan colour and her hair is kept short and simple, hanging down somewhere between level with her mouth and neck. She has simple tribal-markings down her back and along her arms and legs, though she's taken to wearing a long-sleeved blouse beneath her armour to hide them.
I'd be interested, probably as an Adventure driven Dilettante.
And while I've played a lot of Call of Cthulhu, I've never actually played Trail of Cthulhu before.
I am currently readying to run Achtung! Cthulhu for my face-to-face group (using CoC 6th rules) so I have thoroughly read through both the players and keepers guide for that, if it has any impact. I'm happy with either setting.
Still meandering over switching to a spear fighter, would the "Faithful (Sarenrae)" Ranger combat style be available?

Hmmm, mulling concept for a Sorcerer or Oracle (or both - probably not the most efficient build though) who is highly narcissistic, beleiving that she's the chosen one who will bring a new era to Talingarde before rising to godhood.
Borne out of obsessions with an an obscure prophecy of such a being whom she slightly resembles.

Background:
Elodie grew up in Korvosa, only daughter and third child of Kronal and Marvasi DeVarre. Her parents and two of her brothers are historians - scholarly researchers. Her other brother, Abasil, wandered as an adventurer for a while, before settling in Trunau, working for their Militia.
Elodie always had a wanderlust about her and supplimented her studies with arcane practice, though she never actually studied at the famed Acadamae.
Deciding she's learned as much as she can from books, she decided Trunau was good a starting place for investigative research as any, given the rumours of ruins in the Mindspin Mountains and the savage frontier being relatively unexplored.
Despite her comparative outgoing nature, Elodie is still somewhat shy for an adventurer, and her abilities lack "field-testing" being mostly theoretical or practiced in safe conditions. So she has a certain lack of confidence that will fade over time. She comes alive when learning new things, particularly of an arcane or historical note.
Schedule:
I'm on UK time, so will post accordingly. I do have access the Paizo forums' from work, so should be able to post between 10 while 10 UK BST (CT is 7 hours behind, so it'll be like 3am thru 3pm) I'm new to the boards, but have lurked for a while.
