My players made characters tonight for a UNIT game based on Gareth's CRASH Team idea.
It is set to be a globe hopping game based out of Geneva.
Some of the characters are still in progress, but the concepts are as follows:
1. The scientific advisor. Most likely to be of German nationality. He purchased an old offshore facility located in international waters and declared it a country. It was a data haven and laboratory. When he got into trouble, UNIT was the only one able and willing to help him. now, he owes them. He's essentially on a work release with UNIT. He stays free and gets to continue working in science as long as he works for them.
2. Darius McCollins, an American MD. He worked with UNIT to deal with an extraterrestrial outbreak and has now been recruited to the CRASH team. He an older man and has no time for nonsense.
3. Frances Sebastapol. When this Swiss reporter got in over her head, UNIT helped her out. Now she is a media liaison attached to the CRASH team.
4. Winston Wyatt Wakefield, a Canadian national of Pakistani descent. Winston is the only survivor of an Esper program. Now, he has been assigned to the CRASH team.
5. Captain EJ Powers, USMC. Captain Powers was last seen in the United States on December 5, 1945. That's when he and the members of his flight disappeared. He had some strange experiences while he's been away and can fly just about anything. Now, UNIT has found him and given him a new mission while he adjusts to the strange new world of 2010.
6. Judoon liaison officer. This Judoon trooper has been assigned as a liaison officer to UNIT. He must follow UNIT orders and is not allowed to carry his Judoon sidearm but must make use of standard UNIT gear. His standard Judoon trooper uniform has been adorned with UNIT insignia and when not wearing his helmet, he sports a UNIT red beret. He does have the Judoon scanner/translator. [There is discussion amongst players about whether he will be equipped with a perception filter/shimmer device to pass for human or if he will wear his helmet when out and claim to be kitted out for special assignment -like SWAT. Do any of you have any thoughts on this?]
There may be another character/player, but its tricky. Shes NEW to gaming and doesnt want too much responsibility/too much to keep track of. So, we need to create a character who meets these requirements but doesnt run over someone else's niche. any ideas would be appreciated.
As far as NPCs, i may have their direct superior be played by Roy Marsden and named Cartmel.
Their first mission will be Knasser's Whitsun War.
