Wow! we are almost at the end of January and the end of the character creation challenge, where has the month gone.

Todays character is going to be an ‘Influencer’ for Lowlife 2090. The Influencer is a master manipulator and impersonator, backed with body morphics, chemical signalling, and small arms training.

Lets get on with creating the character.

Page 9 of the Lowlife 2090 rules book details the 15 steps to character creation.

Step 1. Roll 1 d6 for get a random race for your character. I roll a 3 this time so my Influencer will be dwarf.

Step 2. Roll 1 d10 for your class. Well as I know I am creating a influencer I can skip this.

Step 3. Roll attributes. One attribute must be 15 and I am rolling 4d6 and totaling the highest three for the remaining 6 attributes.
I get 12, 14, 17, 9, 11, 11
Some decent scores there, I distribute the rolls as follows (attribute modifiers in brackets).
Str: 9(0), Dex: 14(+1), Con: 15(+2), Int: 12(0), Perc: 11(0), Will: 9(0), Cha: 17(+3)

Step 4. We calculate initiative (average of Dex and Int) so 14+12/2 round down = 13
We also calculate Defense (11+Dex mod) = 12

Step 5. Our influencer calculates their hit points as 2 + Con score + Level(1) = 15

Step 6. Their Luck is 11 and their re-roll pool is 1

Step 7. Roll for contacts. Our influencer starts with Whopping five contacts. I get the following (number in brackets is rating)
Street Informer (11) Catchphrase – Now is not a good time.
Corporate Exec (6) Catchphrase – You sure about this?
Fashion Model(9) Catchphrase – Would I lie to you?
Gang Boss (15) Catchphrase – You off your meds again?
City Exec (18) Catchphrase – Do I look like I am kidding?

Step 8. Roll for augmentations. My influencer starts with three augmentations.
Chemical Signalling (Edo Laurent Allure)
Full Limb Cyberarm (Smuggling Compartment)
Vocaliser

Step 9. Gain bonus languages. With an Int. of 12, our influencer knows no additional language.

Step 10. Choose skills. Our influencer has 8 skills. They automatically gets Leadership and Persuasion plus 6 others. I choose
Computing, Deception, Detection, Disguise & Forgery, Gather Info, Stealth.

Step 11. Choose class abilities. My influencer starts with three Influencer Talents . I choose the following for them
Con Artist, Well Connected and Back Up.

Step 12. Add gear pack. As a Influencer they gets the following,
Light vest, Benelli I5 light pistol (2 x mags NL ammo), Cell ( Toshiba Vector Sys 12), 2 x Fake IDs, 1 dose of Jink , Knife, and ₵50.

Step 13. Add turning point, living standard and address. I get
Ex Ganger: Maybe your mother’s alive. Maybe she’s dead. You don’t much care. The gang raised you. Protected you

Living Standard – Low.
Address – Fortuna.

Step 14. Create a background. My influencer is a con artist.

Step 15. My influencer goes by the name ‘Sigma’.

And there we have our seventh Lowlife 2090 character.
