When rolling the eight Attributes for a human, roll all eight and then place them as desired till all your characters stats are completely filled in. Human get to roll 4D6, dropping the lowest of the four. If the result of the three highest dice rolled is 16, 17, or 18, you get to add the forth dice back into your total.
You can choose or roll randomly if your character is born in space, colony or even the Earth.
01-60% Space Born: Spaceborn humans are used to the vastness of space, and fighting a war with the entire might of the UEEF on their side. They tend to be pale, slim and fit individuals, often with unnatural hair colors, who speak with a clipped and precise accent that is immediately recognizable to most people from the colonies. They also, due to their combat training, slip into military jargon and etiquette when not paying attention. While not quite as hale as toughened colony humans, they have received the best medical care, and were immunized to resist many common illnesses in preparation for their mission. They also have the benefit of having been raised, from childhood, with proper nutrition, clean water and comprehensive schooling. They receive a +2 to P.E., +2 to save vs diseases and +1 to P.B.. However, they are -5% to all Wilderness Survival and Barter skill rolls on the colonies due to the fact that they are clearly "not like folks from around these parts."
61-95% Colony Born: Colony Born humans tend to be adept at surviving in a harsh world with the constant threats of malcontented bandits, space pirates, and harsh conditions that are out of the norm for a creature evolved on Earth. They have to "make do" with whatever is at hand. This has made them more resourceful and a bit tougher. All colony born humans receive +2D6 to Hit Points, + 1 on Perception Rolls, and +5% to the following skills (if chosen): Barter, Recycling and Salvage. Integration into the UEEF military has eliminated some hurdles, but they tend to be a bit more lax in their etiquette than their spaceborn brethern.
96-100% Earth Born: The few who are earth born tend to be young children who were evacuated with military personnel after the Second Robotech War. On a roll of 01-50% they are like colonists, and on 51-100% they are like space born individuals.
