Spacefarers, Starfield Character Sheets Options

[Kane]

Name: Andromeda
Origin: Volii Alpha (Neon City)
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Appearance: Headshot


Background
Cyber Runner: From Neon to New Atlantis, the megacorps stand as monuments to power, prestige and profit. You've worked both for and against them, on the inside and out, often sacrificing conscience for credits.


Traits
Empath: You are deeply connected to the feelings of others. Performing actions your companion likes will result in a temporary increase in combat effectiveness. But, performing actions they don't like will have the precise opposite effect.

Neon Street Rat: You grew up on the mean streets of Neon. You gain access to special dialogue options, and better rewards from some missions on Neon. Crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased.

Wanted: Someone put a price on your head, and word has spread. Occasionally, armed mercenaries will show up and try to kill you, but being cornered gives you an edge - when your health is low, you do extra damage.



An expert hacker, Andromeda found trouble in Neon City and has been on the run for some time. She took a job as a miner with Argos on Vectera to lay low for a while until she could raise money to clear her bounty but has now gotten wrapped up with the explorer's group known as Constellation. Where she'll end up next is a mystery, but for now she just wants answers to what happened to her when she dug a strange artifact out of the mine on Vectera.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see you are trying out Starfield. I really need to get back to my game soon.

Origin: don't know yet, somewhere on Earth, though I don't know if our planet is represented in the game.

Earth is uninhabitable and abandoned in the Starfield universe.

To add on to what Khajiit said, Earth was made uninhabitable a long time before the events of Starfield, so it won't be possible for your character to be from Earth (unless maybe you reeeaaallly stretch the lore, or Bethesda builds upon the lore in some way that you can justify it). You'll find out why Earth had to be abandoned near the end of the main questline. I won't spoil it, but I will say it's actually a unique reason why that isn't something that has been done to death in other fictional media.

There are a lot of homesteads randomly scattered about the Settled Systems, but cities that might make sense for your character's birthplace are New Atlantis, Gagarin, Neon, Akila City, or Londinion.

Well shoot, I bet I picked up Andromeda subconsciously then. Pretty sure I read thru this thread within the last month.

Really? When is this mentioned? or it's too much of a spoiler, don't answer please. I don't think I heard this during the tutorial, and there is no opening movie like there is for Fallout games, not that I noticed.

Thanks for the info Rader. Skye will eventually have more backstory, like where she's from and so on, but it'll take time for us to get there.

There's some resemblance to Mass Effect so far, in the sense we can choose what sort of "job" our people have held in the past, and this means we can pick a smidge of Background during chargen at all. I also noticed pre-written topic responses we can choose as the quest moves forward. Glad this game is open world, of course. Mass Effect is fun, but the lack of exploration (on MY terms or my characters' terms) often made me skip returning to ME in the past, opting for Fallout on my PC instead.
