Design Background: Drew didn’t always want to play as an Envoy, and didn’t always want to be a member of the Ysoki race, but slowly but surely the character of Gnak Sizrack came to be. At first I think both he and Myles were looking at playing Operatives (hilariously neither picked that class in the end) but when we started talking about who would be...
Gnak Sizrack was born in the Trench City of Maro, in the very bottom of the Edaio Rift. Never did the young Gnak even dream about gazing upon the stars; such things were out of reach for Scrap-haulers. At the time, growing up with 19 siblings, cousins, and second cousins meant that Gnak, as the eldest, had to do a lot of the child-rearing. Knowing...
Design Background: So I have been playing Tabletop RPG’s with Tyler for about a year or so now. He has played a variety of characters, including a dangerous gun-wielding Chemist, A Super-Science Werewolf, and a fancy-pants Elven Bard. Tyler brings a lot to the gaming character, but I really encouraged him to design whatever character he wanted to play on Cosmic Crit, though I suggested...
The Corsair of Vesk Prime, Edrass Vaaranas has made a name for himself over years of hard-fighting, raiding, and taking few prisoners. Born to a very modest family, Urkana and Nuski were former outlaws, who settled on Vesk Prime, with the hopes of raising their young hatchling Edrass with full honors to enter into the Veskarium’s Imperial Navy. Only the greatest warriors would be raised...
Design Background: When I first spoke to Gibert about making a Starfinder character he had a lot of ideas. When we were all talking about what kind of characters we were going bring to the table, I don’t think that we had someone that wanted to play a Mechanic. We didn’t know too much about the class then, but when we got the Paizo class...
“I do not know, but whatever it is, I hope to never meet it.” An errant sliver of memory in the being known as ANDIS-147 often comes up. Sometimes it manifests as random firing between their Android brain and their Exocortex, sometimes ANDIS simply says the words aloud as a mantra. It is the end of a joke they had told in another life, when...
The daughter of renowned members of Lashunta society, Alyndra’s entire life has been marked by study, exploration and scholarship. Her father Guldin Vallis, a poised and keen Damaya, and her mother Mereshe Vallis, a short and strong Korasha, instilled a deep-set passion for science and exploration in each of their three children, giving their brood a natural curiosity about the world around them and what...
Design Background: So when we first started talking about the classes, I think Myles was initially drawn to the Operative class. The idea he had was to play a hacker character, who tried to make information free for everyone. Gradually the idea for Rami turned into a Technomancer, and as the only magic-user in the party I encouraged this. Myles decided on playing a human...
When Quinn Industries and Darr Enterprises Inc. merged, in a multi-billion Cred deal that took nearly a decade to complete, the paperwork required an arranged marriage between Rannimo Quinn, the prodigal son, and Deandrei Darr, the socialite heiress. What started as a political union quickly blossomed into an honest loving relationship, and the product that those two engineered was Rami Quinn-Darr, the scion of the...
