Creating Your Character

So you find yourself pulled into something bigger than you. Maybe you are a simple tailor who finds herself attacked by goblins on the road between towns, or a soldier who was promised an easy deployment only to be stuck in a siege by a Joten army. Or perhaps more insidiously you are knee deep in a true mess of heresy, knowing that some of your neighbors and so called friends have thrown in with one of the Ruinious Ones, have thrown in with the Void. Whatever it is that has found you here, know this. You will need to be prepared, and survival, along with success, will depend on your brains and brawn. Your wits and your skills. You will need a few you can trust, but know you can likely only truly trust a select few to begin with so choose wisely. Its a crazy time, one of invention and darkness, innovation yet persecution. The world is changing rapidly, and one must keep up, or fall. Best of luck.
This whole section lays out in detail the steps of creating a character, along with the rules for randomizing, which isn't required, but offers the boon of bonus starting experience. Experience is used to upgrade various aspects of your character, which will be better detailed in the rules of Spending Experience and Upgrading Career Path at the end of this section.
