Good, I'll edit the post. Just to be clear, try to use the bullet-points in your lists to make it easier to read, thanks. There's a button in the bar above the place you're typing most likely. Same goes for this btw, if anyone joins and there are no roles left to take and they want perhaps the one you reserve as a secondary role, you may want to give it to them, but its still up to your decision.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Are we just waiting for more people now?

Donovan "Don" Schulz
Basics
DoB: January 4, 2208 (Age: 52)
Gender: Male
Family: All deceased
Role: Enforcer
Physical Description
Height: 6' 6"
Weight: 210 lb.
Hair: Thin, gray, "windblown" look
Eyes: Pale blue, nearly gray
Physical Description: In a word? Big. Stands a head taller than most of the crew with an imposingly muscled physique only just starting to suffer from his age. Rounded face with barely visible cheekbones, wrinkled skin beneath eyes and along well developed laugh lines. Chin and jaw line covered by close cut gray beard.
Typical Clothing/Equipment: Wears a simple black uniform of his own design. Appears to be little more than a black t-shirt and matching cargo pants, thought the raised segments of graphene plates across his back and chest suggest a function beyond fashion. Almost always carries a non-lethal sonic pulse weapon in a holster on his right hip.
Personality/Attributes
Personality/Attitude: Donovan has always had a private suspicion that the Core's Enforcer was originally envisioned as a sentient mass of muscle for the higher ups to point at the rest of the crew anytime there was talk of insubordination. Not wanting to indulge such an image, Donovan makes an effort to appear more friendly. He still has to crack down on the occasional work dispute or drunken brawl, but he always makes an effort to keep violence to a minimum. Taking such an approach has forced him to quickly learn to be charismatic as well as intimidating. As far as preventing incidents from breaking out in the first place, there is little he can do beyond leading by example, and hoping to earn the trust of the rest of the crew. Essentially, Donovan strives to be the granddad of the Core.

Right, I'll update the posting, but mainly, the skills are just a scale of your character's affinity with it, in case anything occurs during the journey. For example, if the ship is damaged for any reason, a few roles including the robotics operator would have to cooperate to repair anything. Biologists would be more focused on perhaps diseases or alien/unknown lifeforms, etc. Of course the action will be character driven, but there should be room for events to occur, such as outbreaks, asteroids, battles. It is up to the players to determine what will occur, but if nothing happens, I'll try to step in and lend a guiding hand. @w@
