B5-BeforeTheDawn:Lyta Alexander

Character Creation Example - Lyta Alexander

Introduction

Player: I played in the first session, but had to drop out. I'd like to bring that character back...but can I rebuild her? GM: Sure, I guess. What are you thinking? Player: I'd like her to be genetically modified by the Vorlons to be a telepathic WMD. GM: Um...

Final Character Sheet

Lyta Alexander

(as of Season 3 of Babylon 5)
Concept: Former Psi Corps member on the run, now working for (or perhaps enslaved by) the Vorlons. One Unique Thing: Only Psi Corps member to be altered by the Vorlons. Approaches: Empathy d8, Guile d6, Reason d6, Faith d4, Valor d6, Psionic d10 (effective Psi rating 12+) Roles: Warrior d8, Academic d6, Worker d8, Diplomat d8, Hustler d6, Wanderer d6 Knacks: Compel d8, Mind-Reading d6

Distinctions Former Psi Corps Telepath d8 SFX: Experienced Telepath - Spend 1 PP to step up or double Psi​ Vorlon Modifications d8 SFX: Telepathic Weapon of Mass Destruction - Take a d8 complication to either step up Psi or use as Area Attack (roll an extra d6 and keep an extra effect die)​ Tenacious d8

Signature Asset: Gills d6 (breathe in otherwise hostile environments)

Design Notes: For Rounding Things Up, 2 points were spent to add a SFX to a distinction, and the last point was used to raise the Wanderer Role to d6. I gave a bit of leeway on the SFX design, but it's not anything more than I would do for a character in this game if I received the right pitch.
