020: LIFEPATH CHARACTER CREATION

Your character’s story will be defined further with each step in this process. When it’s all said and done, you will have a fully fleshed out hero with an exciting background, personality and, of course, game stats. Most of it will be determined by random rolls, but you’ll have some choices to make as well. In many ways, it’s like a game-within-a-game.

It must be stated that the system focuses on heroes only. Creating villains would be a whole other ball of wax. It’s also worth mentioning that there are probably character concepts that are beyond the scope of these rules, but don’t worry; it accommodates most character ideas perfectly. If you have a concept that is not represented with the choices here, ask your Storyteller if they will allow it. As long as it isn't unbalanced or wont fit in the world, most Storytellers will probably allow your creation in their lands of fantasy and make believe.

Each step must be completed before moving to the next step.
Step 1: Species
Step 2: Virtue and Vice
Step 3: Foundation
Step 4: Life Events
Step 5: Experiences
Step 6: Development
Step 7: Pulling It All Together

THE GOLDEN RULE: If, during character creation, your character gains a new Trait that is identical to one you already have, just reroll the result that generated the second trait.
No traits can be higher than 5, unless specified!
