I think it’s much better to focus on the skills we are not showing in the Artemis game itself. I think of myself as a good weapons officer, but I may just be an egoistic bastard and lying to myself. Those skills would be better shown as marks by others, and I don’t think anyone wants to go there.
If the skills are something much more general, unconnected to the Artemis game itself, we can make diverse characters.
