'''Luckiest Red-Shirt Ever''' - A legend among red-shirts! Lightning bolts leave a smoking black mark next to him where his flank stood a second ago. Aliens transform people around him into chemical dodecahedrons and don't quite get around to him yet. His buddy gets all the red blood cells sucked out of him by a space cloud, he lives to tell about it.

His reputation precedes him. People are sometimes awed, sometimes don't want to stand too close to him, but no one doubts that he's one tough customer.

'''Once A Cop, Always A Cop''' - Know the locals, know the territory, know your team, know your goals, call for back-up. He still sees things either as a beat cop or through flash-suppressing HUD goggles. His family are cops and security and soldiers going back several generations.

'''Adventure Is My ''Middle'' Name''' - Reg was always getting into trouble as a kid, but never so deep he couldn't get out with a great story to tell. His parents were publicly embarrassed - but privately proud. At the Academy, he volunteered for everything and anything, and took ruthless advantage of every training cruise and exercise. Deserved or not, he gained a reputation for bending rules 'til they almost broke, for being reckless or too "gung ho, and for being a “brown-noser”, but also for his fearlessness, determination, and committment to the assignment, exercise, or mission.

'''My Ally, My Enemy''' - On leave after graduation, Beck accompanied his parents on a diplomatic mission to a [critical federation outpost]. Beck stuck his nose where it “didn’t belong”, but uncovered a Klingon spy. He stepped on a lot of toes and made some long-term enemies in doing so, Federation and Klingon. He embarassed his parents, got them in hot wate, and messed up their negotiations. Then the outpost was attacked - by Klingons. He saved many lives and rallied able-bodied personnel to desperately fend off the Klingons until the USS Arcadia arrived to scare them off.

But his parents were dead.

He lost his innocence, learning that you can't always trust the people you think you can, and that real danger can hit home without notice.

On leave after graduation, Beck accompanied his parents on a diplomatic mission to a critical federation outpost. Beck stuck his nose where it “didn’t belong”, but uncovered a Klingon spy. He ''stepped on a lot of toes and made some long-term enemies'' in doing so, Federation and Romulan. He embarassed his parents and got them in hot water and messed up their negotiations. Then the outpost was attacked by Klingons. Beck was onto something after all. He saved a lot of lives and rallied able-bodied personnel to desperately fend off the Klingons until the USS [Impressive Name] arrived to scare them off. But his parents were dead.

'''The Fire Kindled'''
−
While being tranferred to his first posting aboard the USS Arcadia (the captain was impressed by Beck’s actions at the outpost), the transport and starship were attacked by Klingons. Beck may well have been the target, after his actions on the oupost. Beck saved the life of his captain, cementing their mentor-apprentice relationship and gaining Beck a high-ranking ally in Starfleet. Captain Nevril (an Efrosian) serves as a father-figure to Beck, and they totally have each other's backs now that Beck has his own command and Nevril an admiral.

Upgrades can be spent to upgrade skills
 +
7 points to spend on upgrading individual skills inside modes.
 +
A skill can only be upgraded twice.
 +
Improvement Cost:
 +
For 1 point raise a trained skill to +1
 +
For 2 points raise a +1 skill to +2
 +
(Skills not in any of your modes are rated as trained at +0)
 +
A skill starts at whatever rating it's mode is at.
 +
You can upgrade it to it's mode+1 for a single point
 +
If a skill is present in two of your modes it's upgraded for free.
 +
To upgrade a skill a second time costs 2 points.
 +
So if a skill was in a mode rated at +3 you could upgrade it to +4 for a single point and then upgrade it to +5 for another 2 points
 +
Being in two modes counts as the first upgrade, then you pay 2 points to upgrade it a second time
 +
7-2 (Rapport from +1 to +2) = 5
