To Clark,
Since we seem to be a solid and loyal fan base and in several posts you have mentioned how certain characters and races came about, why not consider the following for some start up resource cash.
Allow fans to name a character for X amount with the more the amount the more important the character is in the
LOS world
$100, you get to choose the race, figure and name. The history, rank, and what happen to the character is up to the designers (Clark)
$200, you get to choose the race, figure and name and the history (with in reason of the LOS world) and rank up to Sgt or Lt (or racial equivalent).
$500, you get to choose the race, figure and name and the history (with in reason of the LOS world) and rank up to Master Sgt or Col (or racial equivalent).
For $250 extra above any of the above prices, you can determine (with in reason) what battles/actions the character was in and if they are still alive
For group rates (more than one figure at a time),
$500, you can name a typical
squad,
section,
horde, etc of a race and name each figure in that
unit. This only applies to typical Planetstorm units. History of the unit is up to the designers
$1000, you can name a typical squad (etc) of a race, name each figure, and develop a history of the unit. What happens to the unit is determined by the designers
$5000, you can name platoon, horde, war party (up to 1500 pts or designers can allow more in the case of UNE troops) to include a brief history of the unit (with in the limits of LOS universe)
Of course there might be some other things that could be offered in this fashion.
EDIT
Oh, and anyone can respond to this thread. I just addressed it to Clark mainly because LOS/Planetstorm is his to do with as he sees fit.
