Awesome Characters thread.

@ ehsumrell1, I love your Spock. This game needs Vulcans. Too bad about that whole intellectual-property-licensing thing.

Ashbery, your Than Bendu was good...but check this one out

Wait, multiple Than Bendus? This can mean only one thing: matter and anti-matter are about to collide! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

My best ambassador, and one of only two, despite the year being 2800. She's been present from the start of the game.

GC,
Zacha Raktan shows that even in this game the road to Hell is paved with good intentions [;)]

[Grotius]

I'd be curious to see some *bad* characters, either here or in a separate thread. Send in the clowns!

I know, right? This game is so full of stories and life that sometimes i'll just put the whole thing on .25 speed and watch stuff. It reminds me of playing with action figures as a kid.

I thought my Ambassador was something... well more or less funny. Since my mod deals with realistic and mixed personalities, defying the always good AI leaders building up themselves, I will get something worse soon.

[Cauldyth]

Well, I don't think mods should count. After all, I could make a mod which intentionally makes ridiculously good and ridiculously bad characters.

Vanilla Legends only! [:)]

Then you can smoke your "badies" in a pipe. The worst you will see is a 20% minus in one or two traits in summary if the other boni do not apply there. All the other skills will increase in the play time though. In the end he will be another hero of the Legends world with a small wrinkle under his belly... nothing else.

To "grow" badies you would need to park all of them with all your dmeoralizing characters in one place, hoping for them to rot away. That will not happen in a normal game run.

Hmm, that could be fun to do. [:D]

On that note, if you ever get an intelligence agent with "Inspiring Presence" then you need to station him on counter-intel at your homeworld! Who cares if he's any good. Bottom line is that he will boost the skills of your Leader, Colony Governer, and local Troop General until the end of time.

...until the end of time.

That's why I wanted a life expectancy nad death rate for the characters on the modders wishlist...

[ehsumrell1]

Agreed G Cube!

....and Nedrear, in case you didn't know, Elliot DOES have the characters with a
limited 'life span' of sorts. Here is some information I have found out during testing.

While the exact age of a character is not tracked, the time of service is tracked. Most characters will not serve indefinitely. Characters that are not lost to combat or other events may retire or pass away due to old age during the game. Characters may also be lost due to invasions, planetary bombardment, ship destruction, space travel mishaps, assassination, natural disasters, etc.

Understand that also, the duration of characters can be tweaked/modded in the races.txt file for
each character category. Hope this helps clear things! [:)]

Here is one of my characters... Pink Five: a rebel pilot... she could not hit the broadside of a war.
Leave it to me to get a character like this...

I had a leader for the boskara who was so bad he sent my home colony into revolt!

Worst thing was I had JUST fired my last horrible leader so this new derpface was untouchable for the time being...

I did not notice this. Thanks!

Got a screenshot by any chance? I'd love to see some awesomely bad leaders, lol.

[2guncohen]

This is very funny [:D]

[Gelatinous Cube]

I hope he gets some good traits, too. He turned out to be a pretty wicked Troop General.

Deck Chief Tyrol, too.

[MaxyGamer]

Saul -5% to all existing skills. [:D][:D]

[Ares106]

Heres a pretty cool spy. [:@]

I suppose the first thing they taught him in spy school is that in order to camouflage himself within another empire's colony he needs to display as much hatred disdain towards the race his is infiltrating as possible.

What a pity it doesn't look like he is going to make it out of Securan Space alive...
