	Serjeant Geoffrey White, a character for GDW's ''Space: 1889''.		Serjeant Geoffrey White, a character for GDW's ''Space: 1889''. Created by [[User:G026r\|g026r]].

	The inspiration for this character was to create someone located on Mars who could be of use in more than one type of campaign. The end result was a career British soldier who, in his mid-30s, has already hit the limits of his career (as limited by his low charisma). Attributes were assigned using the distribution method -- assigning a number from 1 to 6 to each stat, ensuring that no number occurs twice -- as defined in the core rulebook.

	I went into this wanting to create a soldier who quite clearly wasn't going anywhere. Overall, I think I've managed that and am quite pleased with the final character result. However, the rules for character creation in Space: 1889 are a tad on the fiddly side. Supposedly the actual game system is as well, but I've never had the chance to play it. The setting, however, is wonderful.		I went into this wanting to create a soldier who quite clearly wasn't going anywhere.

	''"Not that I had much choice. It was getting pretty clear that I wasn't going to advance past Corporal in the infantry. The CO, bugger that he was, didn't take a shine to me. Now the Navy was definitely out; I wasn't willing to start over at the bottom of the heap and besides, heights have always made my head spin. So I greased a few palms, called in a few favours, and got myself transfered over to the cavalry. A gashant's no horse, I'll tell you that, but they ride easy enough once you get the hang of it.''

	In a military campaign, Sjt. White's status as an NCO would make him best suited for leadership of a small troop ~~of cavalry troops~~. His skill in Wilderness Travel: Mapping also makes him suited for an exploration-themed campaign, where he could possibly exist as part of a government survey team, or as protection assigned by Her Majesty's Government to an officially sanctioned civilian expedition.
