Hello fellow Traveller,
the following are three characters, I've build in some idle hours
on the weekend. Ahhh...and BTW I like Battletech very much,
perhaps that's why I had the idea of filling small circles when I
first saw the combat rules :-).
Montabaur hault Mondar
Montabaur hault Mondar is born on Efate in the Regency. He decided
to become a Master Psionic but after a test in the local Psionic
Institute, he was rejected. He then decided to join the Navy as
officer, so he starts his career at the Flight Academy.
Finishing the Flight Academy as a skilled pilot he joined the
officer corps of the Efate Navy, to be promoted at once. For
eight years was the Regency Navy his home, one more promotion
follow - from behind the scene supported by his father. When
Montabaur ("Monty") realizes his fathers influence, he decided to
become a Wealthy Traveller, to spend some of his money. Though
wishing to spend money, he instead gains lots of it, and after 8
years as Traveller he decided to join the diplomatic corps of the
Regency.
Due to his descent and his interest for the Zhodani Society in
his youth, he is promoted to Consul very fast. Eight years of
service as Diplomat does finally show him a way to adventure he
is searching from now on.

youth, and when she get in contact with a composer and a band,
she decided to become Entertainer. During her time as Entertainer
she improves some technical skills, exspecially computing,

The arrival of a Hiver Ship result in a big cut. After a short
phase to find a decision, she joined the Hiver Technical Academy
