Character Creation Challenge 2022: #25 = “Retro Star”

 Our next game is Spectrum Games “RetroStar” -- which deals with 1970’s Science-Fiction.  Last year, my character, Merina, for this tabletop roleplaying game came from a superhero business. This time, my character is for a space opera business like “Star Wars” or “Star Trek”.

Step #1 is the PC’s Name. I’m going with Araka for the name of this PC.

Step #2 is the PC’s Background. I’m going with the following: “Araka is a Blobbian that was rescued from the Lionians by Capt. Thomas J. Zork of S.E.A. KING, the flagship of the Space Exploring Agency.”

Step #3 is Casting. This is the appearance of the actor behind the character. I only have 25 words to fill this step out. I’m going with the following: “A teenage girl somewhere between the ages of 13 and 16.” 

Step #3 is Traits. There are three traits here: Adventure (combat business), Thought (brain business) & Drama (social butterfly business). I've decided on going Option C here -- giving me the following number: 1, 0 & 0. I think I’m going with Drama for her 1.

Step #4 is getting a Descriptor for that Drama business. I’m going with an “Awesome Alien Appearance” for Araka's Drama Descriptor. 

Step #5 is to get the Dials. The following are the dials for the PCs. The dials are Thematic (themes to the issues and problems of the 1970s like Watergate and the Vietnam War), Plot (how loose is the plot of the series), Recurring (This is how times things repeat in the series), Cheese (fabs of the 1980s like disco, kung fu and rollerblading) & SFX (this is special effects like psychic powers and the ability to shapeshift.) For PCs, this is all filled in while playing the game.....

...And Araka is done. Below this paragraph is Araka’s full stats.
