Unconventional Heroes

A science-fiction roleplaying supplement presenting unconventional character themes for characters navigating a familiar yet unusual future. Options include an antiquated noble adapting ancient traditions to a world of spaceships, a battle school student, child prodigy, destined hero, doom-cursed survivor, memory steward, smuggler, test subject, and interstellar troubadour. Six variant themes expand existing archetypes, including field researcher, neo-aristocrat, private eye, renegade, and translator. These themes provide distinctive backgrounds, abilities, and story hooks for building characters shaped by unusual origins and expectations.
