On to the All-Purpose Friend, Enemy, & Contact Chart.
Back to the Alternate Character Generation System.
The following series of charts can be used by the GM and his players to generate random histories for player characters. One roll should be made on the chart per year, starting at age 16. Follow the instructions, and proceed to the appropriate sub-charts. If a particular result does not correspond to a player's character concept, feel free to disregard it and roll (or pick) again.

*1* - Injury can be cured with cyberware or vat-grown replacement parts.
*2* - Surgery can cure the affliction by cutting something out, or fixing the injury outright.
*3* - Facial reconstuction and/or cosmetic surgery may fix aspects of this injury. Use CP2020's guidelines for improving ATT.
Injuries rolled that replicate certain disadvantages do not have to be "bought off " with IP in order to be cured. However, the injury can be "treated" during character creation, before play begins, but this may cost the character a quantity of money that the GM must determine based on the extent of the damage being repaired.
Minor Burns -
The character has received minor burns on one random body location. The burns healed properly and scarring is minimal. If hit location roll results in head/facial burns, reduce the character's ATT by -2.
Serious Burns -
The character has been burned over a large part of his body. Roll 3 random locations. These areas are heavily scarred. If hit location roll results in head/facial burns, reduce the character's ATT by -2. If a particular location is rolled more than once, use the following guidelines : If the location is a limb, most of the muscle and sinew has been burned away. This leaves the limb useless. Any good medical professional would recommend amputation. If the location is the torso or abdominal areas, scarring is severe. Reduce BODY and REF by -2 each. If the location is the head/face, reduce ATT by -5 (to a minimum of 1). Character cannot grow hair.
Stab Wound(s) -
The character has been stabbed or cut by an edged weapon. Other than leaving an impressive, albeit cosmetic, scar, the wound has no effect on game play. Refer to the "Impressive Scar" roll.
Bullet Wound : Went Clean Through -
The character took a slug in a random body location, but it went right through him with very little tissue trauma. Character is scarred as per the "Impressive Scar" roll.
Bullet Wound : Lodged Projectile, Removed -
The character was shot and the bullet lodged itself inside his body. Surgeons were later able to remove the projectile. The character possesses scars from the wound and the subsequent surgery on a random body location.
Bullet Wound : Lodged Projectile, Never Removed -
The character was shot and the bullet lodged itself inside a random body location. However, due to one reason or another (the dangerous location of the wound, lousy medical care, etc.), the projectile was never removed. The bullet will show up on X-Rays, and may set off metal detectors.
Bullet Wound : Fragmented, Large Exit Wound -
The character was shot in a random location yet again. This time, however, the round created a very large exit wound when it came tumbling out the other side. Either that, or the ammunition shot into the character was of some special nature (explosive, hollow point, glaser, etc.) which contributed to a large section of missing flesh. Whatever the cause, the character has a nasty scar. If the location rolled is a limb, it is useless. If the torso or abdomen are rolled, reduce the character's BODY by -1.
Poorly Healed Fracture -
The character broke a bone in an arm or leg, and it healed poorly. All skill rolls made while using said limb are at -2. If the limb is a leg, reduce MA by -2 as well.
Damaged Internal Organs -
Through one of the character's misdeeds he has damaged and/or lost an internal organ, or part of one. In the case of missing or partially missing organs, the character could have had a kidney or lung removed, as well as sections of severely damaged intestine, liver, stomach, whatever. The exact detrimental effects are up to player and GM, though losing points off the BODY attribute are a good place to start. For Example, someone with a reduced bladder may have to urinate frequently, or in worse cases, wear a catheter constantly, while people with one lung or kidney may function as normal, though missing a lung might reduce MA or BODY by a significant amount. Damaged organs, on the other hand, represent defective organs which may (or may not) last the character long, and will have to be replaced if they continue to degenerate.
Skull Fracture : Minor Brain Damage -
The character bumped his head into something harder than his skull, resulting in minor brain damage (-1 INT).
Skull Fracture : Major Brain Damage -
The character got whacked on the head really hard, resulting in major brain damage (-2 INT) and occasional blinding headaches (5% chance per day, non-cumulative).
Unremoved Shrapnel
The character, for whatever reason, is carrying around fragments of stuff in his body. This can include anything from small metal bomb casings, to buckshot, to pieces of shattered glass shards. Though not serious (yet), such things may pose problems later in life, as well as possibly setting off metal detectors.
Missing Teeth -
The character is gotten some teeth knocked out. Roll 1d10 and consult the following chart to see how many are lost : 1-3 : One Tooth, 4-5 : Two Teeth, 6-7 : Three Teeth, 8 : Four Teeth, 9 : Five Teeth, 10 : Six Teeth. The character may have trouble chewing solid foods.
Missing Fingers/Toes -
The character, through mishap or design, is missing 1d6 random fingers or toes on a hand or foot. Missing fingers can reduce REF when hand-eye coordination is needed, while missing over half the toes on one foot can reduce MA by -1.
Missing Eye -
The character has lost vision in one of his eyes. This damage can be "bought off" with replacement of the eye through organic or cybernetic parts). Having only one eye incurs a penalty of -3 to any action involving depth perception.
Missing Ear -
The character has lost an ear, or damaged his internal ear seriously enough to cause permanent damage. The character experiences total deafness in that ear (-5 to Awareness checks with that ear). This can be rectified with cybernetic or organic replacements.
Missing Nose -
The character has either physically lost his nose (got it shot off, whatever), or severely damaged his sense of smell. In either case, he loses his sense of smell. In the case of actual physical nose loss, his ATT is modified by -2 as well.
Severed Limb/Hand/Foot -
Through misfortune, disease, or injury, the character has lost a hand, foot, arm, or leg. Normal cybernetic and vat-grown tissues can be grafted onto the character, or non-cybernetic prosthetics can be used.
Back Injury -
For one reason or another the character has aquired a serious back injury. He cannot lift heavy loads easily, and new injuries may aggravate the old one. For game purposes, the character is limited to using only half his BODY attribute when determining how much weight he can carry.
Impressive Scar -
The character has recieved an impressive scar somewhere on his body. Although the injury causing the scar had little or no permanent effect, it gives him a feature which makes him easily identifiable.
