alright
I suppose that answers my questions.

I suppose I'll start coming up with some ideas

[Nitestrike776]

Feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions!

Reposting this here since I'm not sure anyone is checking the old recruitment one anymore so I want to make sure everyone sees it:

I'm considering playing a character to go along with you all just to have a more direct way to join in and engage with the world and everyone, but I know not everyone might be a fan of that, so I wanted to get feedback from everyone on how they'd feel about that.

I'm totally fine not doing it if that's preferred, I was just getting pretty excited getting the world ready and decided to build a character so I could be at the same stage of the process as you all are in as I work with all of you. If there ends up already being a bunch of people playing characters (currently we have 4 who have confirmed [five as of the time of reposting]) or if this is not preferred by someone I'm definitely fine not doing it, just had an idea and was running with it haha.

I'm thinking Kitsune Techmancer
What does everyone else think?

and I'm fine with you making a PC to join everyone as long as it's not one of those annoying DMPCs.
Frankly, I've had little experience with others using DMPCs. Only that when I do it in a live game, I tend to forget about them.

I like that idea personally, Kitsune were one of my favorite pathfinder races. It's a shame they don't seem to have more lore on them in starfinder.

Additionally I wouldn't want to be annoying, more just helpful and along for the ride, but it would be compartmentalized from my DM-ing. I don't plan to give my character any additional help or make them unkillable or anything special, just there for fun and to be a part of the adventure. If it ever seemed to present an issue they could be written out for sure.

hey
I don't have a problem with it until it becomes one.

Glad to hear it! once everyone weighs in we'll know for sure if that will be a thing that will happen

@Nitestrike776;

Finished for total review.

Spoiler: Emriko Kiyata Corisa 

Name/Alias: Emriko Kiyata Corisa (Emri/Emi or Riko, or sometimes Just Em, for short)

Race: Kitsune

Gender: Female

Alignment: NG. . . Leaning towards CG

Spoiler: Physical Description 

Standing about 5' 4", this little bundle of enthusiasm is rather slim with a slight hourglass figure.
Normally in a more humanoid form with her foxy ears and tail visible, She has wavy dark red hair that goes just past her shoulders, and sea green eyes with ember flecks. She looks as though she smiles too much with a wild glint in her eyes.
Her kitsune form obviously resembles a large anthropomorphic red fox of similar build, keeping the same eyes and hair.
She does bare a birthmark resembling a flaming gear on her left thigh that shows up in either form. She also bares some faint scars on her hands, feet, legs, and arms that seem to be from any number of cuts and burns.

Spoiler: clothes 

Normally wears cargo pants and a short sleeved shirt and jacket when in human form, but has no qualms about going without clothes when in kitsune form, as she is covered in fur.

She will, on occasion, voluntarily go full kitunse being clothed in only a belt, cargo pants, or a jacket, as long as she has her essentials.

Class: Technomancer

Theme:Scholar

Spoiler: Backstory 

Emriko was born on a large freight ship called the Constella. She was always in space. She and her family had been all over the pact worlds, and a few new settlements as well on trade missions.
They were an independent merchant ship, buying, selling, and trading, only staying in any one spot for as much as a week, though there are rare occasions when they stayed longer.
She hardly made long friends on the planets and stations they visited, and everyone else on the ship were more like siblings and cousins rather than friends. Which was fine by her.

As Emriko grew, she showed a knack for tech, and even a little bit of magic.
She come to help maintain ships systems and equipment. As she and her skill grew, she thirsted for knowledge.
She was accepted to an academy where she did make more friends and enthusiastically absorbed every material she came across in her studies. Mainly involving technology, and even magic.
Despite being a top student, she was later kicked out for unsafe practices and a few infractions on school safety policies.

She is now on a transport, on her way to randevu with the Constella and home.

Spoiler: Things my character values 

Fun - Else, what's the point? Just try to find fun and joy in as much as possible. But remember that struggle is part of growth and improvement. And sometimes struggling sucks.

Learning - What else are we supposed to do? Besides, not knowing something can suck sometimes. Learn as much as you can.

Improvement - Isn't that why we learn? Isn't that what life is about?

Beauty - Outside beauty is great. But sometimes inner beauty is way better. Just... try to find beauty in everything.

Freedom - Rules just seem to hold you back half the time. Though some rules are there to keep you safe, they do seem to stem improvements. Besides which, it's not always fun being told what to do. And living under unjust rule sucks (not from personal experience there).

Trust - You need to trust your judgment, your research, your equipment, and your friends. If you can't trust them, use them as little as possible. Trust is very important, and is generally the foundation of everything. In general, probably best to not trust something until you can prove it.

Spoiler: personality 

A normally pretty perky and enthusiastic person, she does her best to be quite chipper no matter the circumstances thinking that there is always something to learn and gain from the experience.
Though she can get serious at times, it's not normal for her, seeming to only go straight faced when the need is great and the work leaving no room for emotions.
She likes listening to music whenever possible, at work or play, and even in stressful situations.
Despite her pretty happy go lucky nature, she isn't naive. She understands that there are many dangers and dangerous people. That doesn't have to keep her from smiling in the face of eminent danger.

Spoiler: Other notes 

Unless there is a specific rule in place, she could care less about wearing clothes as long as she's covered in fur and has everything she needs. Namely some tools, comms, and whatever weapon or extra gear she'll need for the job.
Probably about the only reasons she'll wear clothes when going full Kitsune.

Unless she's told you it won't blow up... Use it sparingly or carefully. You never know.

Unless strictly necessary, expect her to disregard most, if not all, safety measures.
Protecting life and equipment from assured damage is one thing. But if the danger is not assured, screw it.

May come off as a know-it-all, but just really likes knowing things and helping others out.

Fashion facts might be neat, Emriko could care less about actual fashion. Utility and comfort are probably the biggest drives for what Emriko does and doesn't wear.

[Nitestrike776]

Very cool! I'll Add Emriko right now

[Highland Sniper]

Still a work in progress.
Stuck between 3 themes, and not sure which to go with yet.
I already have a story in mind, though. Just need to get it down.
