6 Additional Origins for Death in Space

6 Additional Origins for Death in Space is a single-page pdf containing six new origins, each with two benefits, for the TTRPG Death in Space. Here they are:

1. Automaton

Manufactured before the war and ascended during it, they now live and work among the people of the Tenebris System.

· Rebirth - Your system has space for a back-up AI cartridge. When you’re killed, this cartridge can be placed into another appropriate vessel to continue your life.

· I Am No Body - Your inorganic body does not require oxygen, food, or fuel to survive. You are immune to poison, organic disease, and extreme weather. The void of space holds no danger for you. Hit points don’t recover and must be repaired with vehicle parts.

2. Gem-Touched

The children of gem miners. Their parents inhaled fumes from the mines without being warned of the side effects.

· Resonate Energy - Your body can be used to fuel vehicles at the cost of one hit point per unit of fuel.

· Ever-Shifting - You start with a random void corruption and cosmic mutation. At the start of each session, reroll both along with your hit points.

3. Doppelgänger

Carbons grown from seed genes of prominent political and economic players. Born and trained for infiltration and espionage.

· Supposed To Be Here - You know how to blend in. You have advantage on reaction roles in non-violent situations.

· Familiar Face - You can use the contacts of the person you’re derived from.

4. Displaced

Gem mine disasters left hundreds of miners assumed dead. Now, decades later, they’re waking up on the surface of Inauro having missed the war that ended a decade ago.

· Old-World Knowledge - You recognize the devices and parts left over from your time. 50% chance you find an additional component when breaking down weapons or electronics.

· Out of Time - Resting and repairing take half the time.

5. Chosen One

Born under certain signs, these figures are major parts of a cult’s doomsday prophecy.

· Omen - Once per session, give some else disadvantage on any roll.

· Speak in Tongues - You know and recognize the secret languages of the Tenebris System. 

6. Left-Over

They were corporate, then they weren’t. A way out of the system wasn’t part of the severance plan.

· A Line of Credit - When purchasing any item, instead of spending Holos, you may add the item’s cost to your debt. 1-in-6 chance you’re cut off when ever you try to make a purchase. You must pay back d100% of the debt before the line is open again.

· Head for Logistics - When travelling through space, roll twice for travel time. Choose whichever result you prefer.
