I'm putting together a one-shot for friends and giving them some pre-gens to choose from in case they don't have the time to make their own. They include some common knowledge because some players are new. Below are their mini-backgrounds (forgive my corny but totally serious names).
Please share your ideas. I can provide stats for any/all of these if desired.
Ripachip, Ysoki Spacefarer Operative
Ripachip didn’t fit in with the rest of his kin. He believed in justice, faith, and righteousness, leading him to follow Iomedae. Unfortunately, outside of working for the church, there aren’t many jobs that reflect his beliefs. So he joined up with a crew of odd job bounty hunters he made friends with along the way. They may not have much in common, but they share a special bond, and Ripachip hopes he can rub off on them.
Alex, Half-elf Ace Pilot Envoy
Alex grew up in a family of pilots. Boring pilots who flew freighters for corporations from point A to point B and back again. As soon as she was old enough, she entered into as many racing contests as she could. As good at social manipulation outside of the races as she is at piloting, she managed to save enough credits, and curry enough favors, to get her own ship. She takes no nonsense from anyone and knows how to get things done, though her adrenaline junkie side occasionally takes over and she throws caution to the wind.
Lee Getties, Human Icon Technomancer
From a young age, Lee knew he was destined to be a star. His parents didn’t see things the same way. They forced him to focus on his studies and enrolled him in only the best schools. His teachers recognized his talented mind and taught him about computers, creatures, engineering, and technomancy. But he put all his spare time into his music. He stayed up late every night practicing, skipping dinner by telling his parents he needed to study. At the age of 7, he began streaming under the name Arclight42. Upon reaching adulthood, he got his own place, half of which is just a lab. He built his crowning achievement, the Starcaster Mk 1, a combination electric guitar and laser blaster that lets him use music to focus his technomancy. He seeks adventure and any chance to show off his talents.
Selith, Lashunta Mercenary Solarion
Selith took a vow of silence in recent years. After a decade as a hired gun, often for the wrong sorts of people, he decided to make amends for his past actions by sacrificing his own voice. Upon doing so, he realized some of the cosmic truths of the universe and his solarion powers manifested. He now serves as a bodyguard for his trusted friend, someone else in the group.
Bolts, Android Outlaw Mechanic
Bolts awoke in their android body in an apartment on Absalom Station. Unfortunately for them, the body’s previous soul was an outlaw, and they almost immediately had to run. They barely had time to learn about society before it was their enemy. So they took to the outlaw life. They became good at hiding, and traded their machine and computer skills for food and shelter. They eventually came upon their preferred illegal activity, hacking and rigging vidgames. This put an even larger bounty on their head once they were discovered, but they had amassed a wealth of information and contacts, and blackmailed a high ranking security official that spent his spare time gambling on vidgames and cheating on his wife. Now all but their smallest charges have been dismissed and they are more careful than ever. They spend their spare time augmenting themselves and making a living as a bounty hunter. They resent the society that once made androids their slaves, and that made them a criminal from birth. They don’t identify with any culture or gender or organization and they are grumpy to a fault, never having anything positive to say and making no friends. Despite this seeming lack of empathy and devotion, they spend all their time with a close group of companions and have no plans of leaving them.
Pak’Sha’Th’Tak, Shirren Priest Mystic
Pak grew up in the traditional Shirren ways. Order, discipline, and loyalty were important. Upon reaching adulthood, she chose to become a female member of society, and she quickly became addicted to choices, as many Shirren do. She left home, and journeyed to multiple worlds. Upon learned of the faith of Desna, she realized her true calling. Her love of travel, adventure, and the stars were a perfect match. And her faith was rewarded with the powers of a mystic. She is unusually exuberant about new experiences and always has a positive attitude, even with the odds stacked against her.
Rem, Kasatha Bounty Hunter Soldier
Rem, short for Remu Taldaloka Fansari of Clan Ketl, House Bandalin, Scourge of the Beast, is a large Kasatha out in the universe for his Tempering, the phase of all Kasatha’s lives where they leave their families and traditions to explore other cultures and worlds. Rem was never great at his studies, but he appreciated the balance that Kasathas see in the universe and the peace that brings. But he lost his appreciation for that the moment he began studying some of the barbaric fighting styles of old Golarion. Now he lives for the spirit of battle, the joys of victory, and the thrill of the hunt. Fiercely dedicated to his friends, he sometimes takes offense on their behalf unnecessarily.
“Voidwhip”, Vesk Xenoseeker Solarion
Voidwhip, once known by a more traditional Vesk name, was one of the cultural elites that shirked off the Vesk militant nature. He and his siblings sought to understand other races better, to search for peace, and to expand their horizons. It was on a trip to Absalom Station where it all went wrong. Their ship was attacked by void wraiths, incorporeal undead that pierced through all of their defenses. The crew’s energy weapons only did so much, and Voidwhip was unarmed, at least at first. Hiding in an escape pod, preparing to flee for his life as soon as one of his siblings joined him, he looked out into the void of space. The stars really were beautiful, and the space between them equally so. His Solarion path was laid out before him. His vision blurred and a bladed whip of pure black darkness emerged from his left arm. Without thinking, he rejoined the crew and fought back the wraiths. Nowadays, he still seeks peace, but he knows he has a purpose on the battlefield, and with his Vesk might and Solarion abilities, he knows he is nearly unstoppable.
