Your character, even when fully fleshed out, is not a finished product sitting on a shelf. They are a dynamic being, constantly evolving through their experiences. As they navigate the world of your story, they'll encounter challenges, forge relationships, and learn from their triumphs and failures. This ongoing journey is what makes them truly compelling.

Your character's achievements are rewarded with milestones, tangible proof of their growth. These milestones are the currency for acquiring powerful upgrades, allowing you to shape your character's development.

Milestones are spent to purchase upgrades. Each upgrade will improve your character in a specific area. Over the course of a single level, you can only purchase each upgrade once, but when you have gained all five upgrades, you go up a level, and can buy them again.

However, the cost to purchase an upgrade, in milestones, goes up over time. You must spend milestones equal to your character's level plus three in order to select an upgrade. Each upgrade takes about an hour of reflection to perfect, and you can only gain one upgrade per 24-hour period.

These are the fundamental building blocks of your character: Agility, Body, Charisma, Dexterity, Education and Foresight. When you select this upgrade, choose two of your attributes. The attributes chosen cannot currently have a value higher than your level. Then increase the values of your chosen attributes by +1 each.
