I don't even know if y'all can share this yet, but I'm curious as to where new characters start off from. Given the age range you can choose from, it's not just turn 18 and undergo a right of passage in Starmourn.

You'll start as a down-on-you-luck spacer heading to a location because you heard of a job. How you got down on your luck, well, that's for you to develop! Escaped slave? Rich kid cut off from inheritance? Business guy who lost it all on a big trade that didn't pan out?

I feel like everything I learn is supporting my original character idea and that's exciting.
