<h1>CHARACTER CREATION</h1>
<p>
Grab some blank character sheets because it is time to create Player
Characters!
</p>
<p>
While this might look like something you can do on your own, it is actually
better for all participants (Game Master included) to go through this step
together: while each hero belongs to the person controlling them, these
characters are destined to be adventuring together, which means they should
have some “chemistry” from the very beginning!
</p>
<p>
Character Creation is presented as a series of steps, similarly to World
Creation; you are not, however, bound to take these steps in this exact order.
You can go back and modify your choices anytime during the process.
</p>
<p>
Characters are normally created at level 5; see page 229 for higher-level PCs.
</p>
<h2>Character Creation Steps</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Identity:</strong> Choose or create your character's Identity: a
short sentence that briefly summarizes how they see themselves at the
moment.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Theme:</strong> Choose or create your character's Theme: a strong
ideal, emotion or feeling that dominates your character's actions.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Origin:</strong> Choose or create your character's Origin: the place
they hail from. You may select a location on your world sheet or add a new
one.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Classes and Levels:</strong> Choose two or three Classes and
distribute your initial five levels among them. Take note of the free
benefits and Skills gained.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Attributes:</strong> Determine the base die size of your character's
four Attribute scores: <em>Dexterity, Insight, Might,</em> and
<em>Willpower</em>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Calculations:</strong> Calculate your starting Hit Points, Mind
Points, Inventory Points, Defense, Magic Defense, and Initiative modifier.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Equipment/Savings:</strong> Use a starting budget of 500 zenit to
purchase equipment, then add any leftovers to a roll of 2d6 &times; 10 to
determine initial savings.
</li>
</ol>
<p>Describe your character and choose their name and pronouns!</p>
