Characters

Characters are created using a life-path system. After choosing your heritage (which might be something like an elf, a dwarf, a human, an android, or a mutant) you choose a number of careers which represent your journey through life up until this point. Perhaps you were a pilot and became a smuggler, went to prison, and are now a bounty hunter. Each career gives you attribute and skill increases and new abilities. The character creation process literally builds your backstory.

• Sample Character -- Captain Agathe Drake of the elven musketeers.

• Walkthrough -- a step-by-step guide to making your first character.

• Descriptor -- a sentence which describes your character built from various elements during character creation

• Attributes -- your raw talent and ability, such as STRENGTH, LOGIC, or MAGIC.

• Skills -- things you know how to do, such as climbing, swords, or astrophysics.

• Heritages -- your parentage; are you an elf, a borian, an orc, or even a... human?

• Origins -- your first 'career' describes how you grew up. Maybe you were an orphan or a young apprentice, a traveller, or some kind of scientific experiment!

• Careers -- your subsequent careers describe your life up until now.

• Exploits -- these abilities let you customize your character with tricks and maneuvers.

• Traits -- a notable trait which is derived in part from your attirbutes. Maybe you're massive, or insightful, or inspiring?

• Age -- your age can also give you new features; older characters and younger characters have access to different exploits.

• Derived Statistics -- these are things like your HEALTH and your SPEED which are all derived from your exissting attributes and skills.
