What Is This
Be My Rimworld Pawns is a series of threads in which I, Bambu, ask you to create characters for my use in the popular colony management video game, Rimworld. Because the game has an immense amount of individuality amongst its characters, this allows for a very large degree of individual customization. No two pawns are alike, and subtle differences can result in vastly different lives. So it is that I have asked the community of VS Battles Wiki to, at times, generate their own characters ("pawns", as they are called); when they do so, their pawn is added to my game. I use the pawn within the parameters given to me to the best of my ability, and report the antics of this pawn-avatar back to their creator here.
This has gone on awhile now, and even has an associated verse on FC/OC following its history. Every single submitted colonist receives their own page detailing their stats, so... if you submit, I will make that for whatever you come up with!
How Do I Enter?
Well. As said above, your part in this is to create a character (a "pawn"), which I will use- no matter how fantastic, or dogshit. The only requirement is that they must have at least one positive and at least one negative element, be it a skill they're really good/bad at, or a good trait (like Tough) or a bad trait (like Depressive). You have two options for how to do this.
"Season 4.5"?
Last season had a tough break. Season 4 was killed, ultimately, by a pretty hefty malfunction with my PC that put it out of commission for several months. Upon returning, major updates to the game had happened, and one mod (which was pretty significant) had deprecated, which basically means it no longer matched the versions of the game. For those unfamiliar with modding, this makes running the game very dicey and untenable, as it would simply break. Removing mods mid-save is unadvisable. And so Season 4, wherein we were a drug-peddling mafia space collective, fell to the earth as Lucifer did, and into Hell. Season 4.5 will offer a chance to redo that, though it will be a different premise.
One mourns the past but cannot change it, so we carry on, resolute.
The Lore
TL;DR: Comiphor (named for his creator, @Comiphorous), a central character of Season 1 who served as the colony's leader and ruler during its meteoric ascent, is back. These events take place over 100 years after S1's colony, with Comiphor called to serve in part of taming the battlefield-planet of Lemos. To translate: this will be a decidedly violent Season. If Season 4 was Schedule 1, Season 4.5 is Warhammer (remarkably devoid of the many, many, many Warhammer mods; we even had one in Season 4, but absolutely none here, iirc).
Our goal will be to assist in the war effort and quell hostile leaders of the colonization forces invading the Imperium of Kospos' territory.

You have two options for how to do this.
- Describe them! They can be a version of yourself or simply a character you have created. If you'd like to describe them in game terms, they would have a xenotype (or be a baseliner), childhood and adult backstory, skill passions, and possibly some traits. If you describe them in abstract, I will create them to the best of my ability within the parameters you describe, and fill in the blanks if I get nothing: this can be as hands-on or as vague as you want it to be. I ask that you give them a name. If you had characters from other seasons, name 'em something different.
- Take this Form I wrote up to create your character with greater customization. I advise that you remember that every pawn submitted is a soldier: they can be as suckass a soldier as you like (and, to an extent, I like that), but ability for combat may have an above average value rate in this save.
