NPC Miranda Hernandez, Deck Officer (75 points)

Boilerplate preface (feel free to skip to character description!): This character is another example in the a set of completed characters I’m posting for the Deeps of Lyrae campaign. I made them for my players, or my players made them.

I’ll refer to them later on if I post recaps, and I thought that other GMs might want them–you should be able to just offer them to new players as a menu of pre-made character options that will work well together.

I didn’t do my own templates for this campaign, so these characters are worked up from templates in the list of published templates I posted a little while ago. The character designs I’ll post were also designed in response to my required character creation prompt for this campaign, and they usually take into account my campaign advice for character creation.

To refresh your memory, the prompt is: “Your character is on a boring backwater planet and has a good reason to want to become a space pirate.”

Miranda Hernandez

NOTE: This character was created as a 50% value contact or hireling for the 150 point player characters in this game. They can be hired to fill vacancies on the crew or to fulfill some necessary task on a planet that they visit. This is not intended as a player character.

Miranda was just getting started in the space merchant game, but their fledgling career was cut short when they were revealed to be a member of a banned religious sect. Threatened with blackmail, in a moment of passion they killed someone, now Miranda is moving around a lot in the hope the facts won’t catch up.

They are a professionally competent bridge officer familiar with commercial freighters. Miranda has no experience with illegal things or high-pressure situations, and might not do so well as an space pirate adventurer. When Miranda left her last ticket they had just finished certification as a launch pilot and a sensor tech in the deck department.
