Year of the Snake: Day 16 – The Trinity Engine Personnel Files (Leo Galaxy Edition)

By Captain Hedges

Log Date: January 16, 2026 Status: MAINTENANCE PROTOCOLS ACTIVE

As I mentioned in the previous dispatch, the Shreveport Cabin is undergoing a mandatory "White Glove" inspection today. I am currently offline, deep in the trenches of organization and cleaning.

But a Captain never leaves his crew empty-handed.

To fight the Deep Shroud and the Ophidian Empire, you need more than just generic heroes. You need characters forged in the fire of the Trinity Engine.

Below are the Authorized Archetypes, fully adapted from the D6 System to fit the Leo Galaxy Sector. I have translated the generic occupations into their "Holy Sci-Fi" equivalents. Grab a template, swear your oath to the Lion, and roll for initiative.

I will see you on the other side of the inspection.
