    Dynyl Gretchen, a depressed though confident Human.
    He's a selfless, helping hand to those around him. He typically goes for whatever jobs he can that require security, though mainly works undercover-ish (no armor, security badge hidden underneath scarf, casual stuff). He's also well-known for getting maimed quite often, and he's slowly but surely becoming a cyborg (cybernetic arms, jaw, and eye). He's been kidnapped quite a bit.

    Maybe you could use Dynyl as a side-character, maybe some sorta side-quest where they need to rescue/heal him or something, prevent him from dying, I dunno. Maybe this could be back in his old days, when he was a mercenary. Still selfless out-of-work, pretty good sniper, no cyber-limbs, etc etc

    EDIT: Kill Dynyl, get 80,000 pix.
    HE USED TO BE A RICH BITCH
    EDITEDIT: He could also just be a guy for hire as a combatant or just to watch on ships or something.

    Co-captain of the Grey Hand and ex-death racer who reformed to become a ship mechanic mainly working with ship engines, ship weaponry, and body repair. A wise-cracking hotshot guided by a moral compass. He could be used for ship repair, coordinating raids, or just being that guy who helps out occasionally.

    I don't even know who that is. His sole mention sullies the sacrifice of a real hero.

    Amidst the battle of Port Last, there was once a great hero that went by the name of Shadowstep the Lightbringer the Sixth. They say his courage boosted the morales of those who fought against the florans and it is said that his sacrifice saved the lives of many that day. Honored and celebrated as a hero for his great sacrifice, Shadowstep has become a revolutionary figure in the history of Antares as the very symbol of honor and bravery on the battlefield. With the collaboration of the many bystanders saved that day, they managed to muster a artist's rendition of the hero.

    May he forever be remembered for his acts of valor.

    http://community.playstarboundrp.com/threads/optional-pvp-system.8605/
    I've recently been trying to rework this d20 dice system in the link above for PvP on Starbound in the player guides section as an option. If you would like to check it out since its already got the basics like armor types and racial weapons. If your applying it to purely tabletop you could make it way more complex and detailed. Please feel free to share any ideas on that thread from your table top experiment that may transfer well to into the game mechanics. I hope your friends can join us we need more people willing to use dice systems!

    misfit flies in on a nuclear powered barbie jeep and screams at the party about knowing too many cooks
    he then reaches into his tutu and begins throwing hard candies everywhere -- expired hard candies to be precise.
    he then drives away at a speed faster than the human mind can comprehend in his nuclear powered barbie jeep and is never seen ever again

    You can rest assured I will be using misfit here and there as, er, comic relief.
    Whoa. Thanks a lot, I'll definitely look into that. Could save me hours of stat-forging, buffing and nerfing.

    Also thanks everyone else for your offers of insight and suggestions of stuff! I will refer to this when assembling my campaign. As of now, it would be especially helpful if you could remind me of some locations of significance in Antares past. That way I can make a map of the galaxy or something like that.

    ((shittyscienceanswers)) Well seeing as how moons have to orbit around planets all day long, they'll eventually get closer to the planet due to the sum of vector addition as a result of centripetal acceleration in direction ratio with theorem derived from Murphy's law of the Fibonacci triangle. I would know. I'm a marine biologist.
