You can reroll that 3055 until you get a different result.
The idea is to give you two options, not to laugh at your poor luck.
And if you have a preferred era you can ask.
You can also reroll that origin if you like... (I'd almost rather you did to be honest. Be easier for the GM. Hint.)
3011 would be ideal actually.
As for Origin I'm a ok with the bland Distant. Cousin route.
Awesome. I loved the last Calderon game, looking forward to more shenanigans.You can comment.
Also, Drac, to make it more interesting would you be willing to run me?
Sorry, I'm running another Battletech game at the moment back on SB. I really can't run two at any level.You can comment.

Just for fun. Kind of wanted 3011, but oh well that's the dice. Alejandro Diaz was a normal boy growing up, sure the lack of a father was different, but his mother's love more then made up for it. Raised and educated in the Taurus school system, Alejandro(Ro to his friends), grew to be fiercely proud of country, immediately signing up to fulfill his mandatory military service after graduation. Aiming for a spot in the Engineering corps with an eye for using the experience to further his education later on, no one was more surprised then him, when after three months after basic and just getting used to his new duties, Ro was unceremoniously escorted off base by a bunch of scary looking men in black suits.

Kaede Kanzaki (Calderon) is no more a scot than she appears and no more japanese than her name. She also had absolutely no expectation there was Calderon blood in her family, her mother having gotten drunk and then knocked up at a college party. Giving up first college and then her daughter, Kaede's mother followed this up by signing up with a Canopian circus as crew and hasn't been seen since leaving New Vandenberg. Raised by her maternal grandparents, Kaede was fortunately not of a similar character and completed both college and teacher training near the head of her class. She was in the second year of teaching English at a pretty decent secondary school when the Calderons were wiped out.
Kaede is tempted - very very tempted - to throw the message in the trash and forget about it. However, when she checks she finds that the money is there and using it for anything else would feel vaguely immoral - the sort of selfish thing she thought her mother would do.When she gets home from work she finds a man in a white robe waiting for her holding a datapad.
"Excuse me, ma'am but I have been sent with a Gamma priority HPG message to be hand delivered to you personally. It is from your mother."
Such a message is not cheap to send. In fact, it's pretty astronomical. Not only does it get bumped to the top of the queue, only below military and top level civilian traffic, but to actually have an actual Comstar adept personally deliver it door to door would boot it into the realm of what most common folk would consider conventionally astronomical.
Assuming she takes it, it reads.
"My beloved daughter. I must apologize for not being part of your life. If you hate me I understand. I've never been much of a mother to you, but just this once I want you to do exactly what I say. I want you to go to the nearest hospital and demand a gene screening and a full linage match battery to be overseen by Comstar. I've already wired the money. It's all I have so please, just this once, understand that I'm doing everything I can to be a mother. When you are a baby, I wanted nothing more than to give you the world. This is my chance to do it. Please, trust me."
Kaede is tempted - very very tempted - to throw the message in the trash and forget about it. However, when she checks she finds that the money is there and using it for anything else would feel vaguely immoral - the sort of selfish thing she thought her mother would do.
So she makes an appointment at the hospital for the requested test, overseen by ComStar and then does her best to forget about it until the time of the appointment.
"That's not funny. Where are the real results?"The test goes off as planned and then they run the screen.
She gets a good view of seeing the medtech's eyes almost bulge from his head as his face goes ghostly pale as he runs it past Comstar's genetic records. The man makes an amused choking sound in reaction.
The Comstar adept's reaction is a it more subdued but his eyes have widened somewhat with shock.
"Oh my."
Kaede is able to look over their shoulders and sees for her first time the name of her father.
Shane Calderon.
The late Protector Thomas Calderon's uncle.
OOC: Adjusted.OOC need to adjust the weight for males. Make that 192lbs...
Currently on Burton, Alejandro finds himself flown to the capitol via dropship where he's finds himself met by the noble ruler of the planet, Lady Miranda Jones, the local Comstar Precentor, and the planetary military commander, Colonel Patrick Sterling of the Concordat Jaegers.
"Private Diaz. Please sit down," he's ordered.
The Colonel Sterling takes a deep breath and turns to him. "At ease, solider."
He nods and your guards leave.
Lady Miranda takes a deep breath and begins to speak.
"As you know, on December 21st there was a disaster that wiped out all known members of House Calderon. Currently the nation is on the brink of civil war. Some factions think that it was the Fedsuns. Others the Capallans. Others are accusing their countrymen. Others still just want to move on, call it an accident, and accept the finality of what happened. Others still are plumbing the family records looking for any vague relationship with which to claim the protectorship."
He takes a deep breath and looks to the Precentor when then continues.
"Three days ago, my holy ordered executed the will of one James Calderon. In it he spoke of an illegitimate son whom was to be granted an indemnity upon his death. The reasons for this indemnity were to be kept secret as not to endanger the inheritance of his legitimate issue. You are that son, and as his legitimate issue are all diseased, you are now his only remaining heir..."
Lady Miranda doesn't even give him time to react before cutting in. "Thank you Precentor. As you may or may not know, James Calderon, your father, was Thomas Calderon's first cousin. Some will contest your legitimacy in court, but by law you are the most valid remaining heir to the legacy of House Calderon and the Rulership of the Taurian Concordant."
Have they considered penicillin?as his legitimate issue are all diseased, you are now his only remaining heir..."
"That's not funny. Where are the real results?"
She studies their faces.
"You mean these are the real results?"
...
"My mother is a moron. An idiot! A cretin! Why would she set me up to find this out like this? Argh!" Kaede tries to think of anything she knows about Shane Calderon, other than the fact he's probably among the Calderons recently annouced to have died in the accident.
OOC: Adjusted.
As silence permeated the room, Alejandro wished that it would start spreading in his head, as various bits of mind were screaming. Taking a deep breathe to steady himself, Alejandro spoke with a calm he did not feel.
"Legally valid? That doesn't exactly sound like a great justification to put some Calderon by blow into the most powerful position in the Condordat. I mean I don't even know the first thing about a ruling a nation, and yet you expect me to somehow convince the people to accept me as their new Proctecter? That's just, I..."
Rubbing his face with his hand in exasperation, Alejandro turns to Lady Miranda.
"You said that we're at the brink of civil war, I knew that things were getting tense. But, are you really being serious? That wasn't some kind of ploy, right? Because that's, that's literally the only reason I can think of, why someone of your station would want to take some random bastard off the metaphorical streets and parade him around as the heir to the throne. Are we really looking at war here?"

3025, Distant Cousin
Ensign Samantha Calderon of the New Vandenberg branch of the family is a recent graduate of the Taurian Naval Institute with high honors. A hot shot Leopard pilot who treats the 1700 Dropship as if it was an ASF has had Sam quickly assigned to the TCNs assault squardrons away from the finicky ground-pounders. Apart from that Sam's also a classically trained violin player whose skill is good but nothing to go professional with.
A twenty year old female, dirty blonde in a pixie cut with brown eyes 5'5" and 120 pounds sopping wet Sam's features are pleasantly attractive but not outstanding, and her manner of highly controlled movements reminiscent of a highly trained spacer.
(OOC: Sorry for any trouble)
Evidently something did come of it. Someone, rather."it's probable that she was... encouraged to keep your existence a secret," the Adept says after a moment, "And right now the Concordant is so inundated with false claimants that such hard evidence is the only way to ensure that you are recognized as the valid heir. Plus, ask yourself, would you have come here for this test had she told you?"
He picks up a personal cellular and calls in. "I need a full armed VIP escort at the Patrice Calderon Memorial Hospital, ASAP."
She remembers he was something of a playboy... though nothing ever came of it.
Or not.
Evidently something did come of it. Someone, rather.
Kaede checks her pockets. On recollection, she's probably got enough money on her for a flight to the nearest drop-port but probably not enough for a ticket to the next planet, much less the Outworlds Alliance or Lyran Commonwealth. Actually, even if she liquidates everything she owns, she probably doesn't have enough for an interstellar ticket.
"What exactly are you calling that escort to do?" she asks in her best 'control the classroom' voice. Being a newly discovered heir isn't going to be safe.
"That's nice but not actually what I asked, Precentor. Because my immediate plans involve going home, calling my boss and explaining I may not make it into work tomorrow and possibly a side order of throwing up. Is this... bodyguard detail going to get in the way of that?"He looks over. "My order has a standing request from the Concordant government to report and provide a bodyguard detail to any - valid - heir we locate... for their own safety... until they can be turned over to a military protection detail."
"That's nice but not actually what I asked, Precentor. Because my immediate plans involve going home, calling my boss and explaining I may not make it into work tomorrow and possibly a side order of throwing up. Is this... bodyguard detail going to get in the way of that?"
He blinks for a moment then chuckles. "You may use my phone. And they'll hold your hair."
I could use some extra entertainment if you still got room.
