It's day fifteen of the challenge! This time, I'm making a character for the solo TTRPG Lemuria Space Station from Scragend. Lemuria Space Station revolves around bounty hunters pursuing rogue robots. I'd call it Blade Runner (1982) on a space station, but the robots aren't humanoid. So it's more like Runaway (1984) on space station. Except without Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons.

Everything about a Lemuria Space Station character is randomly generated. Even the character's name can be the result of rolling a die and consulting a table, although this is optional. I'm rolling for everything and doing my usual commentary of the process.
The results on the name table seem to be full of hard consonants. My character got Wyndham, which is awfully corporate sounding, being the name of a hotel chain IRL.
Every result on Character Origin table reflects the kind of financially unstable backgrounds one expects from sci-fi bounty hunters. Wyndham was dumped out of his cryo pod when the money in his account ran out.
Judging from the Character Traits table, bounty hunters on Lemuria Space Station are not the most well-adjusted folks around. Wyndham is a loudmouth who will never let his better judgement prevent him from making his views known.
With 20 credits, an antique book (Starting Trinket table), and a snub-e-gun (default starting weapon) to his name, finding and putting down rogue AIs is looking pretty good. It's the best of a set of bad options. At least Wyndham can set his own hours.
I rolled low for Wyndham's hit points (10), so he can't take much damage. His STR (12) and DEX (12) are alright.
It would be nice if Wyndham could afford better gear, but that can't be helped. Time to find a trail to follow and a bot to hunt.
