From connections I'd like to take Gun Combat/Pistols 1. Security training perhaps?
For the second skill I'm undecided, so I'll put it to the group. What's more useful?
Pilot/Spaceship from 2 to 3
Streetwise from 2 to 3
Deception from 1 to 2
a second character with Navigation 1

How about you being one of the crew on Queen of the Belt while it was chartered to the PLDES...and Reven is there as the PLDES representative...You get arms training because the mails need protecting?
If you are talking about the package skills they can only take you from -3 to 0 (second pick) or (first pick) -3 to +1

Reven doesn't mix well with a lot of people, so go with Planetology, fits with his astronomy

Ah, missed that. Still got my MgT1 head on.
Navigate 0 then. It's that or Language/Belter 0, and I feel it's better to have two people able to plot a course.

So Noor is taking Melee 1(unarmed) and Vacc suit 0?
Contact(Media)
Teaming with Tiberius. She learns investigate.
Teaming with Pranit. She learns athletics(dexterity).
That look right to everyone? Cybersavant made a nice annotated list earlier.

Streetwise: Again, a bad choice by me. Gunner instead: Anyone but Indrani would have to take it as first choice if it's her.
Arnwulf choose this Gunner (turrets) 1 and Art 0 (performance: playing drums).

Arnwulf(Pilot(Smallcraft))--Nalani(Skill TBA): In the same flotilla of small ships on the Yolanda's Hope 296-299. Confirmed by both
Arnwulf(Gun Combat(Slug))--Tiberius(Investigate). Joint Police Service 284-287. Confirmed by both
Noor(Investigate)--Tiberius(Electronics(Comms)). Investigating Iku Pupa 288-295. Confirmed by both
Noor(Athletics(Dexterity))--Pranit(Melee(Unarmed)). Same Dojo 292-295 and after. Confirmed by both
Indrani(Electronics(Comms))--Pranit(Electronics(Remote Operations)). Both acted in the same naval operations. Agreed by both
Indrani(Astrogation)--Reven(Science(Planetology)). Astrogators Conference. Agreed by both
Reven(
Skill TBA)--Nalani(Gun Combat(Pistol)). Queen of the Belt or possibly Anjali.
To be Agreed by both

Art is just Art at 0...But Drums! On a starship! What were you friends thinking when they bought you that as a new-year present? What type of Drum?

Looking over equipment and skills I think Nālani needs to take a level in Electronics/Computer ( Art/Holography ) from a connection, if anyone has a link spare.
Re: Character Generation Process

Nalani
You could take Art(Holography):1 from the package (if Arnwulf doesn't mind)
You could take electronics(computers):1 from your connection with Arnwulf.
Re: Character Generation Process
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2020 2:47 pm

I will take that if Arnwulf is willing to make the connection and/or exchange.
Re: Character Generation Process

Arnwulf I made the connection with Nalani and took the pilot skill.
I am happy to swap out
Art from the package skills but I have a level of skill already in the other choices. To save more swapping I could pick a random skill at Level 0
Arnwulf : completely random package skill [1d43] = 22
That would be J-o-T.

Mostly doesn't include associations implied from terms on various ships or

I quite like the idea of a crazy drummer exiled to the cargo hold or banging away to entertain the guests. Keep the Art+0; and Nalani can go Art(Holo) at 1
