General Character Discussion

[Lovecraft]

Bottom post of the previous page:

In other news, the average age of a female character seems to be around 25 years of age, with the most common age at 38% being 17 years of age. Meanwhile, the average age of a male character seems to be around 35 years of age and around 75% of character ages lie between 17 years of age to 41 years of age. Perhaps as expected, male characters outnumber female characters by a bit more than three times.

I tried making another female character after Laura, because by God if you remember Laura you know why she's gone, and it just wasn't working.
I don't know why, but I just can't think of any interesting female characters. I don't want to just have a cutesy generic bright haired uggu princess who can "hang with the boys" because she's rough and tough, but when I try and brainstorm nothing comes to me.
Bringing Finster into SS13 after ditching Laura was one of my better choices.

Rich talk that I missed while running a summer camp

Is a "rags to riches" story interesting to you people, or does the character have to be constantly poor?
Finster was poor and lived in a Church in exchange for assisting there, but then his boxing career took off and 70 years later he's atop a throne of wealth he had to fight for.
He's tried as hard as he can to forget about being poor, going so far as to build his first factory planet headquarters on top of a freshly burned down Church.
Maybe he'd be more interesting if he was bitter, miserable, and alone, I don't know.

Alright, so.
How much does your character get paid?

Finster works in exchange for a very reduced pay, which he insisted on.
Though he makes money selling blueprints, hand teleporters, Centcom documents and secrets, that sort of thing. He doesn't need the money, business meetings just bore him.

[Neerti]

(personal semi-hypocritical opinion)
Honestly I think the 'super dirt poor' thing is overdone.

[Lovecraft]

You'd think that getting into space would be extremely expensive and a hard lifestyle to live if you're poor.
Like, the poor would be stuck on planets, not space stations. Though I guess it could be hard to find a planet and settle if you were born in space.

[paprika]

Poor people sign contract for x amount of month.

NT give poor people free food and bed in spess to do hard labor or research.

[Jacquerel]

Space Stations would 99% of the time be a shittier, lower quality place to live than planets

[Mechoid]

Alright, so.
How much does your character get paid?

An extra data drive for miscellaneous programs and chess. Do not underestimate the amount of chess an AI or cyborg could play while in storage.

Spoiler:

Or a shift of freedom if people are willing.

[JStheguy]

Alright, so.
How much does your character get paid?

Ural gets a somewhat below average salary, not starving in a box eating space rats levels, but generally just enough to live off of. He can pay his spess bills and shit most of the time (Though living in a rather small apartment probably helps quite a bit in that regard) but extraneous expenses is where finances start to get troublesome.

[Lovecraft]

How'd your character wind up in space, and later Space Station 13?

August was stuck on a boring, small planet until his boxing career took off. When he was the lightweight champion of his home world, he was carted across the sector to fight the best of the best. This was cross species light weight boxing, non of that humans only crap they have nowadays.
After he was champion of the sector, he took his money and layed down plans for Finster Corp. and the like. Remodeled his home planet in his image, and he hasn't really left space since.
Obviously he approached Nanotransen for corporate espionage reasons.

[paprika]

Molly is the rightful heir to the Venusian throne but martians chased his royal family off of the planet so now he must disguise himself like a transvestite Anastasia.

[Mat13295]

Ashlyn was purchased along with the rest of the experiments aboard the genetics cloning experiment facility she was raised in, so they decided since her course of experimentation with cloning was over that they may as well ship her off to SS13

[as334]

Alexander Reach originally was a free-lance thief after a certain SOMEONE slaved his home planetFinster. Anyways, since he
started using Telescience for his robberies Nanotrasen just payed him more to research shit to them then he got stealing
from them, he still steals stuff though, just when nobodies looking.

[paprika]

Mat beat me at snowflake

[Lovecraft]

Who is the most special snowflake?

[paprika]

Saiga

[Mat13295]

Saiga

[miggles]

dora was a performer on the planet she grew up on, one day representatives from NT came down to look for job opportunities and she decided to go to work, originally continuing her job as an entertainer, but on the job experience has allowed her to do other jobs as well.
ryker had devoted his life as a doctor to saving people, and he decided that a giant metal death trap in space could use a bit of saving, so he took up a job there.

[ColonicAcid]

all my characters.

prove me wrong shitlords.

[rosello]

Marshall decided that any space station would be better living than a shitty backwater space port, so she applied as a medical doctor. And then she was Mia Karp for a while and then she was an assistant. Now she's a medical doctor again.

[rexagon]

Jonathan Pius once worked for a NT military division until an 'act of syndicate terrorism' destroyed all population centers of the planet. His superiors sent him to a 'low-threat, low-stress' sec job on Space Station 13.

[ThanatosRa]

Chrysanthemum Thorne was a medical doctor working at Centcomm and was sent to Space Station 13 after a scandal involving an executive, and his wife. Another, higher ranked executive. Mistakes were made. The idea was "Send her to that horrible station no one talks to so this doesn't get out. Maybe she'll die too. Also, we're getting a divorce."

[Kraso]

What do you think your character's voice would be?

For me, it's this

[Munchlax]

That's creepy.

[Lovecraft]

Jafar from Aladdin is a pretty good pick for what August sounds like, if you wash out ny slight accents.

[Mechoid]

Hades, Acheron
Totally didn't change Hades'.

[paprika]

>hades
>not this

[Mechoid]

>hades
>not this

Well feck. That actually sounds a lot better. I didn't forget what Cabal sounded like. I swear. That was also what I was thinking of for Hades' voice in the first place but I forgot where I heard it.

[paprika]

I love the b movie quality acting in CnC cutscenes so much.

Cabal had an interesting story and I'm glad the cnc writers had a huge fucking boner for him and gave him his own story arch in TS.

[specyalic]

I imagine Townes Fullbright sounds like the US president from Red alert 3.

[Psyentific]

Did everybody rename their characters or something holy shit

[Mat13295]

Wot

[Lovecraft]

Oh hey this thread again

[miggles]

Did everybody rename their characters or something holy shit

what

[Captain277]

What do you think your character's voice would be?

For me, it's this

Katerina would have to be Laura Bailey as Female Voice #1 in SR3 and SR4.

Ester should sound something like Adam Jensen without the Batman inflection.
