Should be fun, haven't delved into the random chargen for EP yet.

1d10 for Aptitudes

Rolled 89

>>27380555
and the 1d100 for language or age

>>27380555

You are a Thrill Seeker! Your base Aptitudes (unmodified by your Morph) go thus:

Thrill Seeker: COG 10 COO 20 INT 15 REF 20 SAV 15 SOM 15 WIL 10

So you're not much of a thinker and don't have much self-control but you're a decent talker and you're really good at agility/dexterity stuff.

>>27380567

Ooh, Turkish!

>>27380605

>So you're not much of a thinker and don't have much self-control

>>27380630

Hey, if you hate Turks you might like Eclipse Phase - last time I randomly genned a character he ended up dying TWICE.

Rolled 6

Childhood!

Rolled 7

I think we missed age

>>27380646

You have a Stable childhood, putting down roots in a particular community. Roll another d100 to determine exactly what that community is.

>>27380665

You are in your 20's at the time of the game starting, which means you were adolescent during the Fall. You skip the pre-Fall Adult path.

Rolled 4

>>27380683
>community

>>27380644
Wait, there's death in chargen? Meh.

>>27380710
Like death means anything in Eclipse Phase.

>>27380710

Yes. There are lots of things that can happen that basically are to the tune of "something happens and you need a new body". Most of them involve horrible death but there are a few like "you lost a bet and now you have to be in an Uplift morph".

This is Eclipse Phase. Death isn't permanent.

>>27380710

You were born on Earth right around the time things started getting especially shitty for Earth. Another d10 will determine your social status while on Earth.

Rolled 3

>>27380738

Rolled 5

>>27380738

>>27380746

You are an Enclaver, lucky enough to be born into a community with big enough walls and explosive enough security to keep the huddled masses of the filthy poor out. You're either born or sleeved into a shiny Splicer with all those nice gene-fixes rather than a dirty Flat with cancer.

You also get the following:
+1 Moxie
Academics: (Military Science) 40, Interest: (Habitat Design) 20, Interfacing 35, Networking: (Autonomists) 50, Persuasion 40, Pilot: (Groundcraft) 30, Profession: (Forensics) 40, Protocol 30

(By the way, I'm randomly rolling your skills since these give you things like "Academics (Choose One)")

>>27380785

You're still an Enclaver with that roll, don't worry. (It's a 3-5)

Now, give me a d100 for a pre-Fall Life Event, some significant part of your childhood that has had a lasting impact on the person you now are.

Rolled 22

I don't remember - is the exsurgent infection a creation event?

>>27380872

A traumatic childhood event leaves you with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Speaking of post-traumatic stress disorder, the world just fucking ended! Roll a d100 to determine how you handle THE FALL.

>>27380872

Yes - that's how you get to be a psychic. At some point you're exposed to a less-shitty version that gives you psychic powers. You can also get infected in a way that just kills you, or that kills you AND renders your surviving self mentally fragile.

Rolled 90

>>27380904

>>27381111

Oh Jesus. Not only do YOU die, but all your backups get lost. Only part of you lives on in a beta fork - basically a kind of shitty photocopy of the original. You gain the Beta Trait (see below) and randomly roll for a new Morph.

d100 to determine the type of morph (bio, synth, uplift, info)

Beta: This character may not have a Moxie higher than 1 and no Active skills higher than 60, nor may they possess the Psi trait. They also have only a limited set of their original self’s memories—much of their previous life is simply lost to them. They automatically receive the Edited Memories trait (p.149, EP), without gaining the bonus CP. Beta forks are, of course, illegal in many jurisdictions, and some consider them less than human (the gamemaster may apply a Social Stigma: Beta trait in appropriate circumstances; again no bonus CP are gained).

Rolled 100

>>27381164
OH SHIT

>>27381164
>100
Oh god, what is it?

>>27381164

You become an Infomorph, little better than a AGI given the social stigma against beta forking. You don't have any meat-parts or metal-parts. How the mighty have fallen. Roll a d100 to determine what sort of Infomorph/Eidolon you are.

Rolled 85

>>27381190
WELL, THIS CAN'T GET ANY WORSE CAN IT!?

>>27381194

It's not too bad - you end up as a Sage eidolon, which is actually a pretty nice deal apparently. Maybe you end up as the personal assistant to a scientist, or have to do data processing as an infugee for a hypercorp. Perhaps in the Fall you simply couldn't get your hands on a new body as they were all being taken up.

Sage: This cutting-edge eidolon is too new to have seen widespread adoption by scientists and academics, but its popularity is spreading among intellectuals, researchers, and others who can afford it. Enhancements: Eidetic Memory, Hyper Linguist, Math Boost, Mnemonic Augmentation Aptitude Maximum: 40 Speed Modifier: +2 Advantages: +10 COG, +5 to one other aptitude of the player’s choice CP Cost: 40 Credit Cost: Expensive (minimum 40,000)

Now for your Adult Post-Fall path. Roll a d10 to determine the balance between your personal Focus and the demands of your Faction.

Rolled 2

>>27381242
At least it wasn't a 93

>>27381261

You are a Faction paragon, meaning your time is taken up primarily by the demands of your faction and not your personal Focus. Which makes sense considering you're someone's data-bitch.

Now, because you missed the Adult section before you need to determine what path you're one. Currently you're an Enclaver but roll 1d10 to determine if you stay on that path, change gear or take a specialization

Rolled 1

>>27381287

>>27381343

You stay in the Enclave, meaning maybe you end up the infomorph of someone you knew in your past life. It would explain why you get a pretty nice infomorph and why someone's putting up with you being a beta - you're basically the ghost of their friend or something.

Now, what do they use you for? Give a d10 to determine.

Rolled 10

"Who was he?"
>He was... my best friend. Maybe one day I'll tell you who he was.

>>27381370

You actually end up being used for Psychosurgery. It's actually fairly common for muses to act as their user's therapist, so maybe you're essentially doing that but really well. Alternatively you get sent into the minds of crazy people to sort shit out again.

You gain +50 r-rep
Academics: Psychology 50, Kinesics 30, Medicine: (Psychiatry) 40, Networking: (Scientists) 35, Perception 30, Persuasion 20, Profession: Psychotherapy40, Psychosurgery 50

Honestly, I don't know if I want this guy to roll for Firewall or not.

Should we say that part of Ted's estate is used to buy Turkface McTragedy a new morph and randomly roll to determine it again? D100 to determine category, then a second d100 for model?

>>27381563

Also rolling just to see what it would be.

>>27381658

But then maybe Ted was the one in Firewall and Turkface McTragedy is used as a muse by another agent.

The opteryx looks like a one-meter-tall winged, synthetic dinosaur and adopts an almost horizontal body posture when running, its tail held out for balance.

He's a beta fork. It might not be his hardware. It might just be something that was taken out of his Ego.

Rolled 8

>>27382774
If she's on the road to helpin' Squid, would Uplift Right be the way to getting him to be a Person again?

Otherwise, it sounds like Technosocialism would be the place to go to get the tech to fix a Beta.

I'm not familiar enough with Eclipse Phase though, is any of that correct?

>>27382847
Forks are similar issue to Uplifts, but get less attention
Titan is probably for the best, you can take advantage of their "A body for every mind" laws and get squid sleeved up. May be thats how he came by his Sage eidolon

>>27382847

Uplift Rights would be a political thing to help him get equal rights as in the Inner System infolife is general considered second-class citizens or being property.

Technosocialism would be more helpful towards his hardware and software than his social status.

>>27382847
Uplift Rights is more for uplifted animals, and Technosocialism is Space Sweden.

Or, well, that's the short version.

>>27382858
Yeah, being in cold storage sucks.

Favourite creation so far: A former math professor in his 60's, who is now an enthusiastic member of the ultimate's faction and a combat sync running around in a remade biomorph.

Oh, and for his two mental disorders (Combat async package, 5pp) I selected insomnia and borderline personality disorder. He's a killing machine with a 70 in academics: Mathematics, 80 in unarmed combat, the survivor aptitude package (that rounds out to 20/20/20/25/15/30/20 with his morph and the two +5 aptitude bits I rolled) and the ability to turn your mind into swiss cheese.

And he refuses to be left alone. Ever. But he can't sleep. So when he's all tuckered out, he passes out, and then panics and takes the fastest route to more people. Being an ultimate, that probably involves going through walls. Or just diving straight into their brains. Jesus christ, what have I made?

Or are we talking mechanics?

>>27387684
Mechanics, speficially. Quoting from Transhuman, page 58:
>Characters with AGI backgrounds must roll 1d10. On a result of 1–3, the AGI was created after the Fall.
>In this case, ignore any other backgrounds rolled at this stage and move immediately to Step 9: Adult Post-Fall Paths (p. 65).

>>27387890
Then you probably ignore Split Youth and Post-Fall Birth.

>>27387890

I'd say that makes you a VERY recent creation since Split Youth limits the size of the package you get. Your created function is your post-Fall package.

Just did a whole one, using real dice. Got a batshit thing:

Russian-made Humanities AGI, created in an enclave and intended to be a close-to-human entity able to learn human behaviour well.
Enclave where it was made was bombed while it was out dicking about and learning to be like other children.
Somehow ended up adopted as the child of the hyperelite on luna.
Took a brief interest in tech, but disregarded it because brains are more interesting.
Due to being in a Sylph, they were able to be infected, and got W-M'd in the Fall, learning to fuck with others' brains (control focused)
Now has an interest in exhumans, and after seeing a family member get turned, in exsurgents.
