Seeing as the last attempt at this completely failed...
Gonna rehost this, see if we have better luck.
Storyline's picking up from where the previous one (The Liloth Rebellion) left off, fast forward a bit...
Setting is on the SCS Charybdis Sector Command Base.

Character sheet:
Name:
Age: (Nothing too extreme here please)
HP: I will fill out
Energy: I will fill out
Skills: Blank for now
Bio: As detailed as possible so I can give you your perks.
Equipment: Blank for now
Inventory: Blank for now

Also, choose one weapon specialty when signing up...
Ion, plasma, ballistics (guns...), missiles, electric, arc, explosives, incendiary, laserss, EMP. Also on the list: technology, medicine.

Some weapons have specialized delivery systems, while ballistics/missiles refers to a delivery system, which can be modded to use the other weapon types (eg. missile warheads).

Ask questions if you want to, and technology/medicine are niche skills but needed; if you pick those, you start out with a basic weapon (you won't be too far behind, don't worry)

I'll be taking...a lot of people hopefully. By the way, don't pick the same specialty, please...you will need variety.

You guys kill the elite. The rest of the guys flee back into the transport pod and head back...

You're all now level 1! 2 skill points to put into whatever...*points at tech list*.

Thinking of adding stamina--physical energy. Sorry, not much time lately.

Energy: 101/105
Skills: Tech 1, Cryo 2
5% Energy bonus
Bio: Fascinated with life, he buried himself into a world of philosophy and science. Many times he would endlessly work alone on his projects thus his love of experimenting. With a strong positive communist outlook on things combined with his optimism he would happily discard any argument against him with a cheery disposition .
However this leaves him sometimes distancing himself from others. Though he is average, his lack of training means he has a fairly moderate physique relying on tactics rather than superb strength or speed.
Equipment:
-Mk1. "Cobra" Laser pistol: Damage: 8; Rof: 6; 12 shots per capacitor cell; 24 energy to fully recharge capacitor
-Capacitor: 24/24 energy stored

Inventory:

Dismantle the minigun, and see if its possible to take with me,

If it isn't clear, as this doesn't seem to be an orthodox use of the leidinfrost effect:

Basically, instead of it shielding the hot object...I suppose it holds off the hot object longer, due to the droplets taking longer to evaporate, allowing it to just cool off on its own accord or something.

My explanation for reversing it XD

Look before, the skills you can pick at start are the choices (or add your own).

Do note: medics are good
