+
+## **Character Creation**
+
+### **Concept**
+
+An episodic romp through the Spinward Marches in a tramp freighter. Honestly, anything can happen.
+
+### **Guidelines**
+
+* Characters should be made in consultation with the GM  
+* Points: 200 points total/up to \-50 in disadvantages (including up to \-5 in quirks)  
+* Traits marked as **Exotic** or **Supernatural** which have not been acquired from a racial template require a significant rationale that fits the game milieu. Please chat with Liv.  
+* Character Creation:  
+  * 100-point main role template (Pilot, Comms and Nav Officer, or Engineer)  
+  * One 50-point background lens  
+  * A racial template (up to 55 points)  
+  * Round out advantages, disadvantages, and skills  
+  * Up to \-5 in personal quirks (i.e., do not count racial quirks)   
+* **Tech Level**: 11 (using Safe-tech parameters, see UT10)  
+  * No Neural interfaces and cybernetics, except for bionics intended to replace missing body parts.  
+  * No genetic engineering, molecular nanotechnology, swarmbots, or volitional AI.  
+* **Allowable Wealth**: Average or Comfortable.  
+  * Wealth (Average) \[0\]: starting *available* wealth $15,000[^1]  
+  * Wealth (Comfortable) \[10\]: starting *available* wealth $30,000  
+* **Cost of Living** for the whole gang: $32,000/month in loan repayment, insurance, maintenance, and cost of living for the PCs.   
+* **Income**: We will use the rules below to abstract freight and passenger revenue.
+
+### **Background**
+
+For this campaign, PCs should be one of the following:
+
+* Human (mixed human, Darrian, Nexxie, Solomani, or Vilani)  
+* Aslan  
+* Vargr
+
+The Imperial year is 1120 (which translates to 5638 CE).  
+The setting is the backwaters of the Spinward Marches.
+
+### **Background Templates:**
+
+These templates flesh out a character, as they are informed by the character’s past.
+
+### **Professional Templates:**
+
+There are three main templates: pilot, comm and nav officer, and engineer. Because this is a campaign about a tramp freighter, these are the choices and you’re probably going to want a character with each of these skill sets on the ship.
+
+### **Required traits:**
+
+* Cultural Familiarity (Third Imperium)  
+* Language: Galanglic (Spoken)
+
+### **Psionics**
+
+Use GURPS Psionic Powers for psi powers, also requiring one of  
+
+* Unusual Background (Latent Psionics) \[5\] (cannot start with any points in psionic skills)  
+* Unusual Background (Psionic Institute Training) \[10\]
+
+### **Cultural Traits**
+
+#### *Cultural Familiarities Available for Starting Characters*
+
+* Aslan  
+* Darrian  
+* Droyne  
+* **Third Imperium[^2]**  
+* K’kree  
+* Vargr
+
+#### *Languages Available for Starting Characters*
+
+* **Galanglic[^3]**  
+* Aslan  
+* Darrian  
+* Droyne  
+* K’kree  
+* Vargr  
+* Vilani
+
+## **Ship**
+
+The PCs need a ship. Specifically a Silk Road-class Far Trader. 
+
+* All PCs are assumed to be involved in an ownership as equal partners and should have the following traits as a campaign switch:  
+  * Ship Owner (Partnership, *ship name*) \[0\]  
+* It is assumed that the ship is 20% owned by the PCs and 80% financed, and that the PCs are paying for it out of their income as shown above. Paying less than the cost of living shown per month above will *eventually* result in complications.  
+* The ship is 72 years old, having been built in 1048\. Purchase price was M$4.1, new price was M$20.4.
