How would you make a "xenobiologist" character?


General Discussion


For those who don't know, xenobiology is the study of alien lifeforms. Anyway, I was thinking a biohacker with the genetics Field Of Study and a bunch of ranks in life science.


Xenoseeker theme would work well, if you're looking to get along with more intelligent alien life. Or biotechnician could be good too, mostly biotech augmentations but they could get a lot out of study of alien life.

Biohacker would be a great choice, for sure. Signature tool alternate feature (medicine) for envoy would work well if you wanted to study and interact with more intelligent alien life, with strong social skills mixing with biohacker features (just not in sfs, signature tool isn't allowed there). Mystic has a number of great connections that would work well, I could see trailblazer or xenodruid or geneturge.

Also evolutionist will likely be perfect for this sort of character when it comes out!

I don't really have a character that specializes in this beyond the usual exploration and first contact skills. My copaxi solarian comes closest, I suppose. They're a xenoseeker, and acquired a wildwise augmentation early as an obvious expansion upon their race's facility with languages. They're better at fighting and leading than science, but Life Sciences is their best non-social skill.
