Your character is the role you will play in your adventures. Every character has different strengths and weaknesses, distinct personality traits, a unique back-story, and quirks. You have considerable freedom to fashion your character, and you should do your best to make them as memorable as possible.

This is a remarkably important step, and should not be skipped! It will influence every decision you make concerning your character.

Determine where your character comes from. You might need to work with the Director on this, but it should be easy enough if you want your character to be a simple farmer, a scholar, a criminal, or a soldier, prior to becoming a hero.

Determine the sort of skills you want your character to have. They might be deadly with a blade or a bow, or they might be a skilled expert in a specific field. They might simply be uncommonly tough, or they might have magical or psychic powers.

And get a picture of your character in your mind, both their physical appearance and their mannerisms. This will help your character feel more alive during the character creation process.

Creating your character is a six-step process.

1. Select your ancestry.
2. Choose your back-story, and gain a feature based on that back-story.
3. Choose your class, and select a class feature from that class.
4. Determine your character's attributes and statistics.
5. Choose a general feature.
6. Select your equipment.
