Iconic examples of various Starfinder classes.
Core Iconics
Altronus Barasul Dovenayan
Class: Solarian (Weapon)
- Conspiracy Theorist: He believes that the grays are infiltrating the Pact Worlds as part of some nefarious scheme.
- Jack of All Trades: He doesn't know as much about any one subject as a dedicated scholar would, but he knows a lot about many different areas of study and is good at forming connections between them.
- Laser Blade: His solar weapon takes the form of a yellow energy blade projecting from his lower right arm.
- Properly Paranoid: The grays are infiltrating, just like he claims.
Iseph
Iseph's first memory was of waking in a black market renewal crèche with a cryptic note written in their own handwriting and a mysterious brand on their chest. When attempts to investigate the mark led to assassination attempts, they fled Aballon to the Diaspora. Disgusted by the prejudice they found, Iseph joined the Android Abolitionist Front, only to abandon them as well when conflicts arose with their handler. Now they mainly serve as a freelance pilot, though they'll take up arms again for a just cause, particularly against any form of slavery or oppression.
- Ace Pilot: They're very good at flying, though their passengers often wish they'd slow down a bit.
- Cold Sniper: When Iseph chooses to take up arms, it's usually a sniper rifle.
Keskodai
The child of a priest, Keskodai was drawn to the faith of Pharasma, goddess of death, when he saw her priests arrive in response to a plague that ravaged his hometown. He became an initiate and eventually worked his way up to become a full-fledged priest. Returning home, he soon fell in love and was married, producing a child named Chkoresk. Still yearning to see the universe, he and his partners came to an agreement: he would leave to wander with Chkoresk and once he was old enough to leave his cradle-jar, he would make the decision whether to stay with them or continue his travels.
- Affectionate Nickname: For his son Chkoresk, whom he affectionately refers to as "Chk Chk".
- Badass and Child Duo: He carries his child Chkoresk with him in a heavily fortified cradle-jar.
- Dark Is Not Evil: He's the priest of a death god, but he's by no means evil.
- Nice Guy: His friends have described him as "the galaxy's friendliest death priest".
"Navasi"
The leader of the core rulebook iconics, Navasi was born to a wealthy family before she gave it up to steal from the rich and aid the poor. Her dreams were soon dashed as she was forced to adjust to the harsh realities of living on the street and she had to resort to less scrupulous jobs just to take care of herself, joining the Sixth Finger freebooter crew. That changed when she met a purple-haired, tattoed woman who lived the kind of life she'd dreamed of and the two quickly became inseparable. Things soon went wrong when their attempt to sabotage the theft of a relief shuttle was found out and Navasi's partner gave her life so she could escape. She took up the name of her lost love, but was surprised to learn that the tattoos her partner had were symbols of Weydan, a god of discovery and equality famous for taking on mortal form. Today she holds a reputation for being a talented freelance captain who refrains from more lucrative but immoral jobs, still holding onto the hope that her companion had been more than she seemed.
- Meaningful Rename: Took her dead girlfriend's name in her memory.
- Space Pirates: She joined the Sixth Finger freebooter crew. To he dismay, they turned out to be the "violent thieves in spaceships" type rather than the more romanticized version she had imagined, and she was soon forced to become a space pirate of this sort too to make ends meet.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: What she was when she fled home. Her pampered life among the wealthy elite of Absalom Station left her poorly prepared for the harsh realities of the world, as she realized when she eventually found herself moneyless and stranded in the Diaspora. Rather than the heroic rogue who stole from the rich to give to the poor that she expected she'd become, she found herself as a glorified patsy for starfaring brigands, forced to steal from and oppress the very same people she'd wanted to protect to scrape together a living for herself.
Obozaya Ymeros
An excellent soldier, though not scholar, Obozaya made the mistake of defeating a soldier with political connections. Reassigned to a post where there was no opportunity to rise in rank through combat without hope of transfer, Obozaya chose to resign from the military and seek status elsewhere. Now she works as an independent mercenary with a preference for working with small groups, allowing her to serve as the primary frontline fighter and claim the glory for herself.
- Battle Cry: A visual version, she has a holographic warbanner that displays her personal symbol similar to a sashimono.
- The Big Guy: She's a vesk, which means she's heavily muscled, taller than most and absolutely towers over the likes of ysoki or shirren.
- Bruiser with a Soft Center: She's a hulking reptilian mercenary obsessed with warfare, terrifyingly proficient in combat and with a personality that fluctuates between frigid stoicness and bombastic braggadocio. She's also unfailingly loyal to those she considers her friends, and has no issue letting them know how much she genuinely loves them.
- Glory Seeker: In a sense, she's enamored with the idea of becoming a war hero for her highly militaristic society — achieving glory and widespread recognition through her achievements in combat is her main driving goal in life.
- In-Universe Nickname: Her friends can call her Obo. Gods help you if you use the nickname without first earning the privilege.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: Notably so, even by Vesk standards. She revels in the joy of battle, seeks fame and glory on the battlefield like little else, and has very little patience for things not related to war and combat.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: Got "promoted" to a tundra post on Vesk-8, with pacifist inhabitants who wouldn't rebel, thus ensuring she would be stuck there for a very long time without advancement.
- Social Climber: A big part of why she's a Glory Seeker, beyond the value her culture places on martial prowess and winning glory in battle: in the Veskarium, you gain social and political power by achievements in battle and rising in the ranks of the military, and Obozaya is determined to become a major player in Vesk society one day.
- Will Not Tell a Lie: She firmly believes honesty is fundamental to an honorable life, and refuses to ever lie or go back on her word.
Quig Dexel
- Kill It with Fire: Her preferred weapon is a de-icing flamer modified into a full flamethrower.
- Robot Buddy: Scout, his drone.
Raia Danviri
- Interspecies Romance: She's in a long-term, long-distance relationship with a ryphorian.
