11-13/9

I would have to look at the character again, but the character started as special forces shortly after rifts mercenaries came out, and I played her from level 1 up to level 11-13 or so. then stuff happened , and she got changed to godling RCC, and later changed in the campaign to a minor/lesser God. the last time I played the character she could legitimately use the tag line that she was the goddess of high tech warfare. she kind of was a subordinate of Ares when she worked with the greek/roman pantheon, but her best friend was a member of the Norse pantheon, so she was on pretty good terms with them as well.

the latest copy of the character sheet I can find, is a summarized one
this represents consolidated skill lists because she has been dimension jumping so many times and learned so many skills that this is a close approximation of what she can do.

7th or 8th is the highest that I've played a char up to. Not the highest level char that I've played,,,, but that char was made @ 15th level. ;)
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I mostly GM but the players in my game that went the farthest went from 1st level to 11th and 12th level for regular PCs while the Dragon Hatchling made level 10. But, they played these characters from 1990 to about 2003 or so.

Most campaigns I have run in the last 20 years the PCs start at level 3 and maybe make it to level 8 or so. That's assuming the group doesn't fizzle out in the first few months.

My understanding has always been mortal charters top out at 15. Dragons can go up to 30. Highest was a level 15 at the end of a deployment campain.
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.

Soon my army oc clones and winged-monkies will rule the world but first, must .......

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

15th level Holy Terror Cosmo-Knight...PbP game that only lasted a few weeks sadly. Was much higher level but after eons of fighting the good fight, he was starting to lose his mind after some magical shenanigans involving AIs and evil gods, and while everyone else in the game would gain levels, I would lose them.

Played him like Don Quixote, was a lot of fun.

12th level as an elven Fallen Cosmo-knight, went the magic-using route.

In Rifts, it was a 13th level Temporal Mage. Could have gone higher, but the character took a trip to Dyval and made a deal that kept him stuck there for a year, requiring a new character to be played. Trent Logan

My highest level character has been ongoing, on and off, for about 21 years real time, and has lived the majority of his life in the Robotech world before coming to Rifts Earth. Raoul Allebrecht served as a Veritech Pilot in the RDF during the reconstruction era, led a mecha development project for a few years before departing Earth with the REF, returned home ahead of the fleet to end up assisting the Southern Cross and then leading a guerilla campaign against the Invid. He attained a rank of Captain before going MIA/presumed dead at the Battle of Reflex Point, leaving behind a wife and three children. In actuality, the Regis dumped the party on Rifts Earth while teleporting the Invid away, and from there Raoul has tried to rise to the challenge of building their resources and defending humanity.

Rather than expand the rules past level 15, knowing that we'd all want to take up new careers when we eventually went to Rifts anyway, we used a polished up version of the multiclassing rules for high-level advancement. Currently Raoul is a level 15 RDF Veritech Pilot, level 10 REF Military Specialist, level 10 Psi-Tech.
