Character Background
Aseala was raised on Tiawan to scientist parents who encouraged a passion for knowledge and curiosity. His family had been exiled from Aslan space several generations back from some slight that none of the are willing to discuss. Being raised on an ocean world to parents who were working on developing ecological processes to better life on the rare landmasses, he traveled with them often and learned both scientific method and how to handle a seacraft.
Finding acceptance into the local university, Aseala focused his studies on chemistry, physics and interstellar cartography. He also made an effort to understand the myriad layers of Imperial bureaucracy in preparation for his intended future travelling the stars.
Seeking acceptance among his peers, he was pressured into taking down one of the more arrogant and privileged classmates, Lucian Panxilli. The prank, a simple 'chemicals under pressure in a drawer' thing went bad when the measurements proved more complex than initially believed and Lucian badly burned. While he avoided significant academic consequence due to lack of evidence of his involvement, Lucian knows and has harbored a relentless grudge.
After graduating, Aseala found a position in a research lab studying the effects of terraforming technologies on planetary development. As the new hire he was often made to handle paperwork and bookkeeping matters, which helped him hone his talents in the diplomatic and administrative arenas. During his stretch at the station he became aware of misappropriated supplies and doctored inventory manifests which he was able to trace back to a frequently docked freighter. Enlisting the aid of one of the ships crew, Vex Sterling, who was able to parse through information on the ships drone systems. Together, they uncovered a small but prolific smuggling group and put them out of business, earning them both some acclaim in their fields.
Transferring to a deep space survey station was an adjustment. Not having ground under your feet or ocean over his head for the first time, Aseala found many sleepless nights at his new assignment. During his shifts at the monitoring station he would pare through seemingly endless compilations of data about stellar bodies across the sector. Sensor readings, biological surveys, orbital shift charts. While he enjoyed learning new elements of the function of planetary bodies, the mundanity of it all wore on him.
Approached by a higher ranking member of the survey team, Aseala was conscripted into an 'off the books' project involving comparisons on various alien biologies and how they might be used to alter each other on a chromosomal level. He still has questions about how the specimens were so readily obtained for study.
Turning away from the stationary life of a researcher, Aseala joined the expeditionary forces as a courier to expand his understanding of ship functions and see a larger portion of the universe.
On one of his routes he came across an abandoned vessel and was able to power up and decrypt the computer systems on it. The caches of information specific of the vessels prior owners included valuable details on their species, which he turned over to Riekard Vorlis, a prominent xeno-biologist with ties to significant figures in the Imperium. They maintain a cordial relationship to this day.

Hey there NoizePollution... feel free roll all your checks 'here'... and just update the above CS as you go. I'm here to answer any questions you have along the way.

Do you have access to the CRB or did you want to use the SRD? Use the link above that will walk you through it.

Welcome!

Hey! Thanks for inviting me to take part.

I do have the Traveller Core 2022 update if that's what you are making use of.

Should I do all the rolling in the same post as the sheet or make a different post in here for rolls only?

The walkthrough you've provided is mucho helpful.

Okay, I believe I am established up to checkpoint 1 so I'm throwing it back to you for confirmation. Here's hoping there is some University in my future.

Sav,

I got ahead of myself and messed up by rolling my Term 1 dice in the dice rolling post I made instead of in the life events table. I can definitely roll correctly in the table going forward, but should I reroll the Term 1 or just use what I rolled?

Just go with what you have... that solves a mystery I had though!

BTY, You are welcome to re-roll "1's" for the characteristics (only).

Okay, thanks!

I believe I have incorporated all of the Term 1 events into the Life Events table and added narrative to the background section, which I will flesh out further as we go.

On the topic of rerolls, I rerolled the 4 1's on my characteristic rolls and...wow. Did I do that right? Are you sure that's okay? Those numbers are going to be wildly high and I don't want to unbalance the average here. Once I hear back I'll make the changes to characteristics and that should complete my Term 1 actions.

Nope, as long as we were just re-rolling the 1's for characters, you're good.
I did that for all the other players as well so don't feel bad about it!

Good question.... you can do want makes sense to you but recommend this:

1. If you see something in a character's background... ask them if you can make a connection to it in their thread.

2. If they are agreeable, ask to make it official in your own thread, since that is that is the character sheet it will go on.

Once given the seal of approval, please just be sure to include something about it in the background story for that term, and that you include the skill info in your lifepath.

In term two, you took your advancement skills but missed your bonus skill table roll. You get to pick a table and roll for a skill once you advance in your career. (CRB2022 18)
Before you move on be sure to pick that new skill up!
