Oh we're in a transition period, there's opportunity for that.
But not the ability to shape the world before societal inertia forms and builds.

Would my Necromancer character concept still be fine?
Also I'm honestly considering a different concept, who fits the whole "find and rescue abducted humans" - a space Rambo. Thoughts?

I mean yes but there would be restrictions.
That one sounds fun!

"The biggest difference between living in the city and in the suburbs is that one of them has a lot more fire hazards. Oh, and there's also Aliens, but if you're good with cultural differences between humans the fire hazards are more important."

I heard a thing called bitcoin looks promising
"What Bitcoin? Why would I want bits of a coin? I'd rather have 1 dollar, than a hundred bitcoins, what nonsense is that?"I heard a thing called bitcoin looks promising
Technically it's not a thing she's ever actually said.
Though it's probably not far removed from something she'd actually think at some point.

It collapsed into thousands of successor states, former polities the impirum defeated and other random collapse of empire stuff.
So is there danger of other threats from space being a problem for humanity?

-[X] Audie More
-[X] Late 30s/Early 40s
-[X] No-One
-[X] Human (Augmented with Alien Technology)
-[X] N/A
-[X] Skills: Military Training, Tracking, Firearms, CQC, Negotiation, First Aid, Hacking, Languages
-[X] Equipment:
--[X] The Apple - five-man combat shuttle, equipped with FLT capabilities and light laser weaponry
--[X] Energy Rifle - Capable of multiple modes, including non-lethal
--[X] Odh Eye - replaces left eye, gives multiple vision types and aids aiming
--[X] Reinforced Legs - Reduces fall damage, if you land on your feet
-[X] Powers:
--[X] Mimic-Eel - Audie's right arm is actually a bio-engineered organism capable of limited shapeshifting.
--[X] Regeneration - has been healed by so many chemical, magical and technological methods body now has a basic healing factor. This has also slowed his ageing.
-[X] Backstory: Born in Detroit and raised by a single father, Audie was drafted into the Vietnam War, and trained as a paratrooper. Deployed over a hundred times, he saw some of the worst fighting of the war, earning a Medal of Honor for his refusal to leave wounded men behind.
After the war however, Audie returned to find his father had died, and was unable to find work. He was contacted by a fellow veteran on behalf of a wealty socialite whose daughter had been kidnapped by some of his less-than-legal business partners. Things became complicated once the team found the "business partners" were aliens, and the daughter had been taken off world.
Two years later, Audie returned to Earth with the daughter, the last surviving member of the team. In his absence, he found the socialite had claimed his daughter's kidnapping had been performed by the very men he hired to rescue her. Although the daughter swore to clear his name, Audie felt such disgust with humanity he decided to leave Earth.
Over the next decade Audie worked as a mercenary, fighting for causes across the galaxy and beyond. During this time he picked a wide array of contacts, his equipment, and a title - No-Man, caused by his refusal to leave allies behind, staying behind in dangerous situations, and confusion over the phrase "no man left behind".
When he found out about the Imperium's invasion he attempted to return to Earth, but was unable to get past their blockades. Instead, he joined offworld resistance against them, becoming a persistent thorn in their operations. Following their defeat, he has chosen to return for good, to aid in reconstruction in whatever way he can.

He's in reserve, until something happens to one of the players
Anyone else imagining the potential comic coverart of their character's adventures?
I'm imagining the Foreman clearly exasperated, as she looks upon some strange building that the 3 Minions are constructing. Too many images popping up in my mind to get more clear than that however.
My character may hire Foreman one day depending on how things go as their body further drifts from humanoid.
