Traveller Characters

I've always enjoyed the mini-game of creating Traveller characters. Creating the back story of the character. When I got Mongoose Traveller I pulled out my LBBs and rolled up a few characters before I tried the new system. Here are a couple of the results, a couple of very successful navy men. Yes, they made every commission/promotion roll. You should see the pages of characters that weren't quite so successful. It is interesting to compare the results of the two systems.
