<h1>CREATE YOUR IDENTITY</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is your first step, and to say it will influence each and every following
|
||
choice would be an understatement. Your character’s Identity is a short
|
||
sentence that quickly summarizes how they currently see themselves.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When you create your Identity, keep an eye on the list of available Classes
|
||
(see <a href="/books/core/#page-160">page 160</a>) and make sure there is a
|
||
combination of two or three Classes that fits your Identity. If you really
|
||
can’t find what you need, try adjusting your Identity and adapting it to fit
|
||
one of the available combinations.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Here are a few examples of good identities:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Royal Knight.</li>
|
||
<li>Queen of the Desert Thieves.</li>
|
||
<li>Battle Priestess of the Old Faith.</li>
|
||
<li>Warrior Princess of the Moon People.</li>
|
||
<li>Elderly Amnesiac Sorcerer.</li>
|
||
<li>Former Imperial Strategist.</li>
|
||
<li>Freedom-fighting Brawler.</li>
|
||
<li>Magitech Scientist.</li>
|
||
<li>Tormented Veteran.</li>
|
||
<li>One-eyed Samurai.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Keep in mind that you can invoke your Identity to give yourself an edge when
|
||
making Checks: pick something that will prove useful in play.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Over the course of your adventures, you will be able to change your Identity:
|
||
a Captain of the Crimson Reapers might redeem herself and change her Identity
|
||
to that of a Knight of the White Flame, for instance. This is a good thing: it
|
||
means your character has grown into someone different!
|
||
</p>

<h2>Example: Robert is creating his first character.</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Previously, he and the rest of her group worked on their game world: a land in
|
||
early industrial development, where magic is tied to family bloodlines.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
They are going to be heroes of the resistance, fighting against a
|
||
technological empire that seeks to imprison anyone who can channel magic.
|
||
Robert’s character, Camilla, is going to be the (supposedly) last surviving
|
||
member of Platea's royal dynasty.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Contrary to her older brothers and sisters, Camilla never developed any
|
||
magical ability: however, she has been trained as a knight and diplomat.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Camilla's Identity is going to be “The Last Princess of Platea”.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
While talking with the rest of her group, Robert points out that he’s open to
|
||
Camilla discovering her “latent magical powers” over the course of the game.
