conversations.value: TAGE: Space Fantasy/Adventure (Dark)
  
  Nobody said it at your goodbye party, but you knew what they were all thinking. You're never coming back. Deep down you know that's probably true. Only 1 in 5 ships survive their first year in the wolfpack. (They call the four man crew aboard "Fighter Defense" ships "Coffin Cousins" for a reason)
  
  Not that it was much of a party anyways. Rations, curfews, and a seven day work week tend to put a damper on fun. You thought you'd use this time to run wild, drink, and rebel. Instead you find yourself deep in thought. You'll be slipping the surly bonds of earth soon. Soon you'll be traversing the stars, weightless, and free. You're afraid to die, but after seeing footage of Alpha Centauri awash in flames you'd rather die up in space than trapped on a doomed "Marsed" planet. 
  
  Fear and anger are a curious mixture. These days it seems that everyone's consumed by one or the other. For you, even the chance to strike back at them was motivation enough to join. While you don't buy into the propaganda and you're to smart to believe the reports that mankind is "winning the war" you couldn't help but agree with the late Commander Modi when he said, "I refuse to starve to death in a bunker. I will not be worked to death in their factories. My death is my own. The Kamikazes... the Spartans, these men understood how to face an enemy".
  
  Tomorrow you'll meet your shipmates and board the American made "Reuben James". Good Luck. 
  
  NOTE ON PLOT AND CHARACTER CREATION: This game takes place in a fascist/militaristic/future setting.  When creating a character try to fill the role of Pilot, Engineer, Ordinance (weapons), and 1st officer (captain). First come first serve.

conversations.value: Cold and distant, this man has led a lot of men; most of them are dead. A war hero and cunning tactician, there's no questioning his strategy. You are a pawn on his chess board, nothing more, nothing less.

conversations.prefix: Afraid to Die:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're prone to make decisions quickly and without much thought. You lack patience.
conversations.prefix: Impulsive:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The way you see it, if you're the one risking your neck you might as well do things your way. This gets you in more trouble, and more danger, than others.
conversations.prefix: Loose Cannon:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You were showered with accolades before getting drafted. The military not only put a dent in your ambitions, but you consider yourself under utilized at your current rank and position. You look down at your peers.
conversations.prefix: Arrogance:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: After you were arrested, you were given two choices, prison, or the military. You're the kind of person who never got their shit together. This is likely your last chance.
conversations.prefix: Burnout:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You resent the cards you've been dealt. You resent the limited choices you were given and the constant burden of supervision and authoritarian control.
conversations.prefix: Bitter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got a bad temper.

conversations.value: You knew some of the people who died in the last attack. Vengeance is a nice silver lining to your situation.
conversations.prefix: Revenge:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have one goal, survive. You will disobey orders, lie, hide, run away, or kill if that's what it takes. You have no intention of dying anytime soon.
conversations.prefix: AWOL:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You don't see yourself in a 4 person ship forever. You intend to rise in the ranks as fast as possible. 
conversations.prefix: Ambition:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You pissed off a high level officer. He has it in for you and there's nothing you can do about it. You won't be getting any favors from on high anytime soon.
conversations.prefix: Born Under a Bad Sign:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You believe in the almighty. You serve a higher Chain of Command. You have a pleasant mixture of humility and commitment to higher moral standards.
conversations.prefix: Religious Conviction:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You come from a military family. You have a leg up on the other recruits. From an early age you were told the ins and outs of military life. This stuff comes naturally to you.
conversations.prefix: Connected:

conversations.value: You're a resourceful person. A jack of all trades even.
conversations.prefix: Eagle Scout:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your brother recently went missing along with the rest of the crew of the "Inouye". You know it's naive, but you haven't given up on hope. He might still be alive.
conversations.prefix: Missing:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Once you're hundreds of thousands of miles away from earth, the chain of command is only as strong as you are. They won't obey you if they don't respect you. They won't respect you unless you earn it. Good luck.
conversations.prefix: 1st Officer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It might be worth getting, it might not. It'd suck to die trying to retrieve a teapot. 
conversations.prefix: Georgiano's Teapot:

conversations.value: You were always good at sports. Quick on your feet and even faster with your hands, you've got agility in spades.
conversations.prefix: Reflexes:

conversations.prefix: Clever:

conversations.prefix: Chart a Course:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Only after seeing what they did to Alpha Centauri did scientists realize what really happened to Mars. Earth is sister planet to a murdered corpse. The lifeless planet is more than enough to remind you of the stakes.
conversations.prefix: Mars:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: By far the most physically demanding job on the ship, the pilot is the most vital shipmate. A single mistake can doom you and your comrades to a horrible death. A single hull puncture is an almost certain game over.
conversations.prefix: Pilot:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The ship's payload includes, a depleted uranium cannon, six Hittite missiles, a nuclear warhead, and four 10mm pistols. Have fun.
conversations.prefix: Ordinance:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Keeping a human being alive in space is no easy task. If the O2 system, fails you all die. If the engine overheats, you all die. If the hull breaches, you all die. Keep it all together and you might just make it. Good luck.
conversations.prefix: Engineer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You respond well to fear. You think better under pressure and aren't prone to panic. 
conversations.prefix: Nerves of Steel:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are well versed in a number of topics. You're one of the few people who actually understand the nuts and bolts of interstellar travel. You can also recite the names of the last 12 emperors, not that that's going to do you any good out in space.

  The only chance you might have of learning the truth is out there...now if you can only avoid getting shot in the process.
