After some consideration this seams to be the right place for this... Thing I did 
I feel since I did spend a good deal of time on it I may as well show it off somewhere 
Rimworld is one of thous games where graphics are basic enough and at the same time evocative enough that it just makes me want to visualize it any way I can. And since 3D rendering and modeling is my long time drug of choice when it comes to artistic expression I ended up doing some renders of my colonists, or at least what I thing they may have looked like
For thous interested in technical aspect - these are Daz3D renders, with mixed assets - some are by me and some are just arranged by me
For people less familiar with the whole thing - think of it as a mix of photography and "character creator" not unlike in MMO, if a bit more technically complected to use You put together a character, dress them, pose them, set up light and render, which allows you to produce high quality 3D art in reasonable time. While asset creation takes a loooooong while using it is a matter of few hours With all that out of the way on to the actual game story:
I like doing "themed runs" - as in I pick some kind of condition for character generation and re roll the first 10 colonists until they all meet that condition, once one of them fits the bill that's it - no re rolling him for better stats. Than I pick my 3 out of thous 10 and we go. I did a run, for example, where all 10 where related in some way to each other (that is how I found out that the colonists you did not pick still end up on the rim, just in other factions).
This one was a "beauty contest gone wrong" kind of thing - all colonists had to be beautiful, single and under 30 years of age. There has been some very fun rolls there, including a male "action hero" model who could do nothing but socialize and kill people and a psychopathic pimp But in the end I had to pick some with skills that will actually allow them to survive...
The idea was to do a dessert run, but I ended up in shrubland instead, so a bit more soil to grow on, but still very high temperatures there where a problem, especially since Sharee had a parka on... So here is the "year one" pic.
