Going off of Praetor's idea on that, I can imagine it being corrupted from "Dolaro" to "Olar", and the symbol would be Φ.
Running commentary, in no particular order
* I personally love the cat angle you've taken here
* Survival (6) is given the example of indefinitely surviving on an alien world without equipment - does this cover stuff like volcanic vents and unbreathable atmospheres?
* Does it cost 6 or 8 CLP to raise an attribute from 6 to 7?
* Stress: Why is it stressful for a human to spend two days in a human community? What is the difference between solitary confinement & confined space? How long is a therapy session or downtime activity to reset the Stress Test Target? Do you need to exit the stressful condition to be able to receive therapy or unwind?
Character Creation
Let's go through character creation as written in the book.
Step 0 No work here, it's the baseline.
- Charisma 1, Courage 1, Intellect 1, Perception 1
Tags: Standard
Step 1 Choose two backgrounds. One restriction to keep in mind is that we can't choose any Certs w/prereqs, since it's mathematically impossible to meet them at this step (except Rapid Healing). Reading for combinations, I can't help but notice that when trying to maximize a single skill, you're not going to have a Lunar-Belter or Medical-Engineer or something similar, which is a really clever way to subtly encourage an 'organic' background.
- Lunar Engineer
Attributes 4/3/4/5
Skills Computing 2, Deception 2, Engineering 4, Forensics 1, Law 1, Navigation 2, Pilot 2, Screen 2, Therapy 2, Visualization 4
Tags Standard, Augmentations, Cat Lore, Chemistry, Lunar Lore, Advanced Physics, Psychology, Advanced Xenotechnology
Certs Multitask
Equipment Engineering Kit
Step 2 My obvious specialization from earlier essentially chooses my Order for me
- Comet Guard
Attributes 5/6/7/6
Skills Computing 2, Deception 2, Engineering 7, Forensics 1, Intimidation 2, Law 1, Navigation 4, Pilot 2, Screen 5, Therapy 2, Visualization 4
Tags Standard, Astronomy, Augmentations, Cat Lore, Chemistry, Demolitions, Espionage, History, Lunar Lore, Advanced Physics, Psychology, Advanced Xenotechnology
Certs Multitask, Comet Guard Special (+2 Cavoritic functions)
Equipment Engineering Kit, Lawkeeper (hopefully not a gun, because Combatives is 0), Zero Suit
Step 3 We don't really have an equipment list as of yet, so this will be skipped.
Step 4 If I wanted to just go crazy with Engineering, Mastery would be the best option (by a large margin), but would also be the least efficient CLP-wise. Raising Intellect or Engineering with my specialization is equal in CLP conversion to buying four tags, which I suspect was intentional. Triangular advancement combined with linear creation is surprisingly not much of a problem because stats are generated in grouped packages - I like it.
Step 5 Space Ranger Jouko "the Dog" Chennault is fiercely loyal and tends to deflect personal questions concerning signs of weakness.
