(2d10 System, Astartes compliant version)
Very much version 0.1
CHARGEN
Assign priorities A-F.
You also need to decide how long you've been with the 813th. Renown/rank (see below) might influence this, but it's up to you. Maybe you've languished for decades with little to show for your time, or maybe you just got transferred.
1. Gene-Seed Quality
All players are Astartes. While all share the same foundations, the quality of their gene-seed varies. This determines your starting stats and karma (used for Edge and other secondary stats or more talents).
Primus (A) – ST +6, VI +5, AG +2, DX +1, CU +1, IN +1, RE +3, PR +1 (0 karma)
-
Secundus (B) – ST +6, VI +4, AG +2, DX +1, CU +1, IN +1, RE +2, PR +1 (1 karma)
-
Tertius (C) – ST +6, VI +4, AG +1, DX +1, CU +1, IN +1, RE +1, PR +1 (2 karma)
(Tertius are anomalies — generally discouraged for players.)

Distribute points across attributes using the costs from Shadowrun.

6. Renown
Renown represents status, access to wargear, and influence. You don't HAVE to be a sergeant just because you pick a B here. You could just be a highly respected veteran if you prefer.
The higher your renown, the better your gear, and the greater your influence.
Starting as a scout means you've no PA or Black Carapace at the start, but this can, of course, be gained later.

-
C: Veteran – Given access to limited or experimental weapons.
