I mean its only open cause i spent hindrance points on increasing an attribute (worth it). And so I have to do less sheet editing if we ever get new edges or advancements. I'm sure I'll grab something eventually, if we get advancements, or possibly not. And yeah, figuring out how the hell she got out of russia in the first place was actually really difficult...its shockingly hard to get out of the USSR at the time. Then i noticed that the Night Witches bombed Poland close to Czechoslovakia at the end of the war, finding that took like 2 hours.

I've added a background and some gear. Please check if it's all ok.
I'm not sure what to do with known languages since my character has no smarts.

@TheGenerator since we are using the extra languages rule, you get to learn your native language at a d8, and half your smarts in additional languages at a d6. since your character has a d4, you'd get your native language plus two other ones. check my sheet if you want to see formating help

Please note Raccoon’s comments on languages.

I’ve just taken another look at your skills. Just a quick look but I think you might have spent 16 points on skills? It should be 15 (12 plus an extra 3)?

But looks ok.

I’ll go with 15 then!

I recounted and still get 15. Maybe you counted Persuasion for 2 points?

I’m terrible at adding up skill points , so I won’t even check. Raccoon agrees with you so it’s 2 versus 1 (or a .5 given my adding up skills).

Haha. 😁 Alright then.

I'm still thinking on the languages and perhaps editing the background a bit which could impact the language choices. But otherwise I think I'm finished and ready to play.

@the generator, according to my count you still have two skill points left to use, lol

Odd. Did you take into account that I have 2 skills that exceed my base stat?

Sorry y'all, took a bit of a deep dive into the history of all this. Character submitted, let me know if I should make any changes OT. I took English as one of the languages, unless that's an assumed freebie?

Vikram Singh
Born into poverty in British India around 1920, he was a gifted child whose talent for mathematics and mechanics earned him scholarships and eventually an engineering education at College of Engineering, Pune. He developed a particular interest in demolitions and structural engineering.

When Japan invaded Burma, he joined the war effort and was eventually recruited into Force 136 as an engineer and demolition specialist. During Operation Gustavus, he worked behind Japanese lines until a demolition accident severely injured him and left permanent scars across one side of his face.

After recovering, he returned to duty and became involved in intelligence networks connected to Lai Teck. Lai Teck's betrayal destroyed the network and left many of his comrades dead, captured, or scattered. With the war over and Force 136 dismantled, he was out of work and his career in intelligence ended.

Married right after university, with a wife and young son depending on him, when an opportunity arose to return to Burma on a private expedition, he took it.

Officially, he was there as an engineer and demolition expert to recover lost treasure.

Secretly, he had one unfinished mission:

Find Lai Teck, uncover the truth behind his betrayal, and bring him to justice.

I think it looks great.

I’ve checked/counted and everything seems tickety boo.

I can’t promise that all the players’ backgrounds will fit exactly into the adventure account as it unfolds. We may have to ‘retcon’ a detail or two later to make everything fit. So please all be willing to adjust details slightly if necessary if we encounter a story anomaly ( ‘wouldn’t he have already been here?’, ‘why was he under US command?’, etc.). We’ll tidy everything up as we go.

So I’ll approve ctme’s character now and we’re ready to start. See you in the the OOC thread.
