I added the minor goal with your intent. A major goal would be something like seize control of Lou's commercial empire, rather than just complete the job you've been given.

Minor goals are worth 3xp, the bonus in there would just be 1xp. We'll worry about partial completion of a goal if/when we get there. Also remember these aren't set in stone. If it makes sense in the narrative to change your goal, then you just change it.

Other than "get paid" which I'm sure will be a constant objective for everyone, I thought up some slightly more personal goals for Shion.

Expand her contacts.
Getting on the good side of Antonetti seems a good start after picking up odd jobs for scraps, but the more people you know the better. The more talkative of her recent associates might be able to help here, potentially valuable allies themselves.

Customise some gear.
Factory standard is fine for most people, but why settle for fine when a few tweaks and a little know-how can get you fantastic?

Establish a more permanent base of operations.
Living in rented accommodation soon gets old, and everyone wants a place to call their own. Somewhere with a workshop would be ideal.

Restore her homeland.
The region Shion was born in was devastated in the recurrent war between the Cartanostan government and the Golden Ember Religion, one of the reasons leading to the foundation of the Free People of Mavrokola. Though the three factions have currently reached an uneasy peace, many Mavrokolan nationals that lost their homes in the conflict are wary of how long such an alliance will last. It's a lofty ambition for one ex-soldier, but Shion is determined to one day see her native lands revived.

Jonas

Here is a major goal for Jonas

Neutralise the threat of his old smuggling gang

His old gang blames him for the death of their leader and are looking for him. Jonas has a variety of options to remove this problem, such as prove his innocence, destroy the gang or even take control of it.

Let me know if you think this XP system can work. The key here is that you guys start proposing the types of things you want to do.
As a player, I am all about rescuing Shion's homeworld. :)

Sem's Goals

Visit a jungle planet.

Go on a space-walk.

Form a lasting friendship with real trust.

See real macro-fauna. (Any furry monster will do!)

Get a new home where I won't be evicted.

Have a sleep-over with a real roommate.

Form bonds like an adopted family.

Punch someone for talking smack about my homie, just like a telenovella.

Form a charitable endowment under a limited liability corporation to house life changing sums of money.
