Return to Step 7

A: Accomodation and Transportation

1. decide if your character is someone who:

stays in one place (like Guld [M+] or Ozuma [MF]), or...
moves about from place to place (like Isamu [M+] or Basara [M7]).

Those who stay in one place tend to have ...

larger and better furnished apartments
larger wardrobes
a permanent vehicle.

Those who move about tend to have ...

smaller and not as well furnished apartments
smaller wardrobes
a rented vehicle.

Accommodation: Pending background, skill programs and GM approval, this could be anything from a small, damp, cold basement suite, to a luxury mansion.

Transportation: Pending the character's background, skill programs and GM approval, this could be something heavily used, rusted and on its last legs, to the latest luxury model.

Choose one (1) of:

automobile
bicycle
motorcycle
truck
anything else the GM permits

B: Equipment

Most characters already have personal items like clothes, personal momentos, music, smart phone, laptop or tablet PC, toiletries, and so on.

Standard Equipment: Varies depending on the character's background, Skill Programs (their job), and GM approval. In general, work-sites will provide additional equipment and facilities for the job. (E.g.: a cook has access to restuarant facilities and its personnel, cooking and serving materials, and food supplies and a food supplier. A doctor would have access to a hospital or clinic, and affiliated medical equipment and personnel.)

If your character is super rich: consider this your spending money. After all, you can't stay rich if you spend it like water! Getting access to larger funds is something that will be played out in the game.

D: Rank and Wage

Rank:

Refer to Unified Space Forces (UNS) and New Unifed Space Forces (NUNS) ranks for details.

Wages:

Each month your character will get more money based on their salary. 50% of your character's salary automatically goes to accomodation, basic character expenses, and taxes. This includes going out to eat at cheap places, a round of beer at the local pub, gas, new underwear, replacement clothes, toiletries, and so on. Military characters receive a fixed income according to their rank. Civilians make whatever the GM's decides they make.

Refer to (New) Unified Forces' Ranks - Wages for details.

Wages and Normal Ages for Rank:

Refer to (New) Unified Forces' Ranks - Wages and Normal Ages for Rank for details.

E: Final Approval

The GM will review your character sheet. If no changes are requested, the GM will inform you that the character is ready to play, and will give you instructions on how to join the game.

The following are up to the GM. They may be applied all the time, some of the time, or never.

OCC-based Equipment:

Refer to a similar OCC to the skill program(s) and/or MOS you've selected for other equipment options. Additional non-standard equipment is still subject to GM approval.

Civilian Wages:

For ease, assign civilians a rank equivalent to help determine their wage, and to act as a guidline for raises.

Savings: I roll 7. ¥70,000. Wage: as the PC's 20, I figure she gets about halfway between the E-2 and E-3 pay grades (rounded down). I figure Ms. Ams is a bodyguard, so I've given her body guard type equipment.
