Specialities

Specialities are sub skills representing things you're especially good at. They often accompany professional skills like Doctor and the like. Some tasks require a speciality of at least plus one to attempt, for instance to do brain surgery or navigate a star ship in tricky conditions you'd need at least a point of specialization in each.

Species

Humanity is not the only species in human space now, as humans are increasingly joined by various artificial life forms they have created. Bioroids and androids, biological or mechanical artificial life forms which share human form are the most common and widely recognized.

Humans

Normal everyday humans are stronger, faster and prettier than they used to be, but still fundamentally the same.

Skills

You begin the game with up to two skills, but may learn more as you go through the game. A skill is bought just like any other Attribute, and acts as a super speciality. Each skill gives +2 to the relevant stat per level of skill, and one additional fate point when conducting operations using that skill. Common skills are the likes of piloting, space vehicle operations, athletics, doctor and so on.

Advantages

You start with two advantages. Advantages are special qualities not covered by either skills or statistics. Those with an X beside them may have additional CP spent to augment them as if they were a statistic.

Contacts (X)
You have a large number of contacts, friends and favours who you can call in for help. Each point put into Contacts increases your odds of finding someone useful you know in a particular area.

Unusual Equipment
You have access to some form of unusual equipment, be it a legendary sword, an unusual combat mecha or other

PRAYER
Your character is augmented and skillful enough to access PRAYER, pulling information and energy from outside the universe into ours, and distorting local physics. Because of the powerful nature of Prayer, each level is double normal cost. Go to PRAYER to see the full rules.

Conspiracy (X)
You're very well connected in the shady areas of things and know many secrets. Unlike Contacts, this doesn't represent specific friends or allies, but membership in a secret (or public) organization. You need to specify which organization when you buy it. Each point bought adds to your roll to know a particular secret or gain aid from your organization.

Really Skilled
You're a real polymath. Gain one additional skill.

Tough
You're very hard to kill, gain +5 hit points.

Lucky
You're just oh so lucky. Gain +1 fate points.

Rich
You have a large amount of your own resources, and can buy a lot of things if needed.

Augmentations

All modern humans, especially those going into dangerous situations have access to augmentations. Some level of genetic engineering, cybernetic upgrading or nanomachine symbiosis maybe represented by your base stat-block. Augmentation however represents additional, often stranger augmentations, which may change an individual at even a basic level.

If you can think of more augmentation then please inform the GM.
