NewYearNewCharacter, Day 1

Using Mongoose Traveller 2e, and using Fantasy Grounds Unity (as this this the software I will use to run the campaign).

I've decided to try and create a hotshot pilot. Male, human, named Dorrinell Gorman.
Rolling for characteristics I got: 8, 12, 4, 6, 11, 5.
I assigned them thus:

STR-4, DEX-12, END-5, INT-8, EDU-6, SOC-11

Choosing background skills I chose: Athletics-0, Carouse-0, Flyer-0, as a high SOC kid wanting to become a pilot.
I decided to try to enter university and succeeded, chose Advocate-0, Astrogation-1, got EDU +1. Rolled event War (draft), and managed to use my high SOC to avoid the draft, but failed to graduate (too much carousing).

Enlisted to the Navy, got commissioned, and promoted to Sublieutenant.
Skills added: Electronics-1, Gunner-0, Gun Combat-0, Leadership-1, Mechanic-0, Melee (blade)-1, Pilot-0, Vacc Suit-0
Event: You have the opportunity to abuse your position for profit. If you do so, gain an extra Benefit roll from this term. Refuse, and you get DM+2 to your next Advancement roll. Refused.

Second term: promoted to Lieutenant.
Event: New romantic relationship (gain Ally). Abigaia Cino a fellow navy officer (serving on a different ship of course).
Skill added: Flyer-1

Third term: promoted to Commander.
Event: advanced training. Roll EDU 8+ to gain one level in a skill you already have. Chose Pilot.
Skills added/changed: Pilot (spacecraft)-1, Melee (blade)-2, Tactics (naval)-1
Decided to do another term.

Fourth term: promoted to Captain. SOC +1.
Event: Your vessel participated in a notable military engagement. Gain one of Electronics-1, Engineer-1, Gunner-1, or Pilot-1. Chose Engineer (power)-1
Skills added/changed: Engineer (power)-1, Pilot (spacecraft)-2
Check for aging: no efect.
Decided to muster-out.
I took 2 cash rolls (20,000 and 50,000) and five benefits rolls: TAS membership, 3 weapons (blade, snub pistol, converted the second gun to skill), INT +1.

Skill added: Gun Combat (slug)-1

Not a hotshot pilot as I hoped, but an interesting character.


Dorrinell Gorman
, 4C597C, male human, age 36, retired Navy Commander

Pilot (spacecraft)-2, Melee (blade)-2, Astrogation-1, Eletronics-1, Engineer (power)-1, Flyer-1, Gun Combat (slug)-1, Leadership-1, Tactics (naval)-1, Athletics-0, Carouse-0, Gunner-0, Mechanic-0, Vacc Suit-0

Cash: 70,000Cr

Benefits: TAS membership

Equipment: a blade, a snub pistol

Ally: Abigia Cino, Navy Captain (former flame)

He's a good pilot, and a good man to have on a ship with many skills.
