    • Of course, Martin Dubois was not an average young man at all, being as he was, in fact, a young woman.

    Maria Dubois' working class family of French immigrants who fled the uncertain years of the late 19th century to New York City, but they always retained a fondness for their home country which they passed on to her. When war came to her ancestral homeland, she resolved that she would help.

    But what did she do before that? What lead to this fateful day, dressed in a stiff suit with close-cut hair, signing the dotted line and hoping against hope that nobody would look too close?

    Flying Circus Historical builds characters with a lifepath system. You spend Wealth and Years as a currency leading up to your membership into the service and your deployment. You can spend more years gaining skills, but older pilots have a lower threshold for Fatigue, the physical and mental trauma that builds up over their missions. Penalties start at 21 and intensify past 30.

    As a member of the Working Class, Maria's lifepath starts at 13, and she has 3 Wealth. What's next?

    [ ] Going on to complete her secondary education. (4 Years, 1 Wealth. Unlocks higher education and better jobs.)​
    [ ] Some time spent on self-education. (1 Year, 2 Wealth. Chance of XP gain)​
    [ ] Directly into a dirty, physical job (3 Years, gain +1 Wealth, take 1 Physical Fatigue)​
    [ ] Working as a street criminal (2 Years. Chance of wealth or jail time)​
    [ ] She helped with her father's business (3 Years, 2 Wealth. Chance of 1 to 5 Wealth)​
    [ ] She skipped school to play stickball and slack off (2 Years, 1 Wealth. Gain a move for better physical conditioning, take 1 Physical Fatigue)​
    [ ] She hitchhiked around the state. (2 Years, 2 Wealth. Gain 2 XP and learn another language)​
    [ ] She spent a long time writing to famous people, and some even wrote her back! (1 Year, 1 Wealth. Gains a reroll that can be used during Life Path stuff)​
    [ ] She spent long days truant with her best friend, who she'd only grow closer to over the years (1 Year, 1 Wealth. Maria will have somebody back home to write to.)​

    Goddamnit, I even used he/him pronouns in the OP very deliberately like "finally, I'll write a male character!!!", and now we're here.

    Oh well!

    Pick one, we're going to go through this step by step because there's more options you can unlock.

    The dream isn't dead yet - all I need to do is strategically vote for him to realize his latent transmasculinity, surely?

    Despite their meagre means, Maria's parents worked hard to make sure her and her two brothers could attend high school, and Maria graduated with decent, though not exceptional, marks in most of her classes.

    Maria is now 17 and has 2 Wealth. What does she do next?​

    Am I missing something or is Colonial Service flat better than Domestic Service?

    Oops. This is why playtesting. I'm scrambling to put this stuff together still.

    I'll add a chance of a Bad happening with colonial service.
