Squadron Recruits

[Niwashi]

I know the comments stating why a recruit joined is based on which challenge log led to getting them, but are the recruits themselves (name, race, looks, etc) based on it as well? I'd thought the rest was random (from amongst a collection of possible recruits).

PS: I'll extend my question to all the people who have obtained Femroes recruits, please tell me from what type of content yours was from. I want to make a full Femroe squadron.

I got one from a Gold Saucer challenge (one of the mini-game challenges, either "Size Doesn't Matter" or "From Small Things"). I'm just not sure if that's relevant.

Yes Recuits appearance and background are not random. Only thing random is when they become recuitable.

Each Challenege Log has their own unique set of Recuits.

For example, the GS challenge log contains funny looking recuits which among them is a snowman dressed lalafell and even a bunny girl.

Those are the more rare type recuits as the more rare the recuit is the more unique their appearance and they even start out at a much higher level than Common type recuits.

I can confirm that a recruit can come from more than one type of challenge log. But it's still possible certain logs have a pool of recruits, just that there's some overlap.

So far I have seen specific recruits come from two different types of activities.
