Oh hi!
I thought I'd make a thread to discuss ideas for new characters to possibly bring to life in the future. If and when FD allow us to have more than one Commander I'd certainly like one or two more.
So to kick off...
One limiting factor about Souvarine is that he's essentially law-abiding. I'd like to explore the crime and punishment aspect of the game with a criminal character.
What I'm thinking is someone who is just on the wrong side of the law - not a mental murderer, just a wheeler-dealer and pirate who's out to make a quick buck. This will never be a get-to-Elite-explore-the-galaxy-rank-up-with-the-superpowers kind of character; more one to muck around in the mid-game indefinitely with.
This is the kind of guy who plans a heist on a trading convoy for a few days, it goes wrong, then he's chased across space and has to lay low. Would make for good loggery I think. This will never be a rich character because his main source of income would be piracy.
Working name: Claude 'the Jackal' Jansz
Born on an agricultural world on the outskirts of the Alliance of Independent Systems, his family were dirt-poor algae farmers. Claude was never interested in that way of life and hated school, so crime appealed as a ticket to escape. One evening he sneaks into the local starport, boosts the first ship he can break into (a Sidewinder, surprise surprise) and heads for the stars.
Thoughts?
