Character Templates The following player templates are available to all players. The PCs are expected to be heroic, and the stats in these templates reflect their exceptional qualities.
The sections of each template should be self explanatory. Make sure to fill in the blank sections name, height, weight, sex, age, etc. Each template has 18D worth of attributes, with between 2D and 4D where the typical range of human variation is 1D to 3D for each of the six. The skills and equipment included in each are relatively arbitrary, but can be adjusted as characters develop.
The blank spaces next to each skill are there to note skill improvements. Every beginning character gets 7D that can be split amongst their starting skills. No skill can be raised by more than 2D to start. The base level of every skill is equal to the characters relevant attribute, so if you have a 3D Strength and add 1D to your brawling skill at the start of the game, your brawling is now 4D. Every character starts with between 3 and 7 character points, the use of which is explained in Section 2.
The number of character points is also fairly arbitrary, and is intended to balance some of the Templates that start with extra skills and equipment. Every character is also assigned a movement rate of , based on their probable age and physical conditioning. This number represents the number of meters the character can travel in a round at full speed as a single action.
Normal movement will be made at half this rate. A character can make up to 4 movement actions per turn, as explained in Section 2. At the end of each game, players will be awarded additional character points based upon their role playing and their characters accomplishments. Character points can be used to improve skills, but this becomes more expensive as characters skills improve.
A skill may only be increased by one pip at a time. Attributes can also be raised, although it costs 10 times as much per pip as raising a skill. If the opportunity arises, characters can learn new skills by paying for one pip based on the skills underlying attribute.
This pip is not applied to the skill, but allows the player to write the skill on their character sheet and buy real pips later. If none of the templates included below appeal to you, talk to your GM about modifying one or making up a new one to represent the type of character you have in mind. At an early age you were selected for training as a Mecha Pilot, and even among your elite peers you have stood out for your skill.
