RANDOM PC GENERATION

RANDOM STATS:

Your beginning array of stats looks like this:

STR 20

AGI 20

END 20

INT 20

PER 20

CHA 20

roll 1d6 and consult table

1. STR

2. AGI

3. END

4. INT

5. PER

6. CHA

Add 10 to the ability score that corresponds to the roll. Let's say I roll a 4. I will add 10 to INT.

Then roll another 1d6. This cannot match the first roll. Re-roll until it does not match. Subtract 10 from that attribute. My second roll is a 5, so I lower my PER by 10.

Then roll 2d10 and add the result to each stat:

Example rolls:

STR 20 +2d10 14 = 34

AGI 20 +2d10 8 = 28

END 20 +2d10 12 = 32

INT 30 +2d10 8 = 38

PER 10 +2d10 9 = 19

CHA 20 +2d10 8 = 28

NOTE: you are still bound by the beginning limits. No stat can be higher than 48, none lower than 10. If bonuses/drawbacks would raise or lower your stat beyond the limits, set the ability score to 48 or 10 instead. Animus and Lycanthropes have higher limits, 53 and 58 respectively, but their lower limits remain at 10...

STARTING CLASS

Now, roll for your starting class, which is based on your region. Roll the die your region states. For example, as a Heroran I have 6 options, so I roll 1d6 and land a 4: The Occult Shaman. Gain this class's skill card pack and starter equipment, which the storyteller or GM will provide.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

Each character begins with a set number of personality traits based on their charisma ability score. These traits were swiped from an MIT study without anyone's permission.

100 - 6 positive, 4 neutral, 0 negative

90 - 5 positive, 4 neutral, 0 negative

80 - 4 positive, 4 neutral, 1 negative

70 - 4 positive, 3 neutral, 1 negative

60 - 3 positive, 3 neutral, 1 negative

50 - 3 positive, 2 neutral, 1 negative

40 - 2 positive, 2 neutral, 2 negative

30- 1 positive, 2 neutral, 2 negative

20 - 1 positive, 1 neutral, 3 negative

10 - 0 positive, 0 neutral, 4 negative

You do not have to roll at random, but you should follow the Charisma score in determining personality traits. If you choose to roll the traits randomly, roll d100 for each of the positive, neutral, or negative categories. In other words, if my character starts with a charisma of 40, I will roll 1d100 twice for positive, twice for neutral, and twice for negative traits.

Personality traits are intended to assist characterization rather than strictly determine character action.

However, the traits can and will affect the outcome of character interaction. Positive traits yield bonuses, negative traits make for penalties, and neutral traits may incur one or the other, depending on the situation.

Note: any character can be possessed of many, many of these personality traits. Of course. What these listings imply is something stronger, something more obvious or predominant about the characters.

World-view/behavioral domains

“Beliefs and actions are one and the same”

Rate your character's convictions in each category, 1 being the lowest of conviction and 100 being the highest of conviction. Or you can roll them randomly (1d100 each)!

These metrics guide how your character would act in specific situations, given their beliefs. It is distinct from personality in the sense your convictions don't tell you if you're funny or not, or what frightens you, or how noble or nefarious you may be. Your convictions won't likely tell whether you keep a messy room or if you have a knack for sarcasm. But rather, your convictions will describe the why behind your character's decision making.

Much like establishing goals and motives, it is the player's responsibility to judge what these numbers might mean, to discern between potentially self-conflicted measures.

Example: “I joined the rebellion because the Kingdom has become a religious hegemony that treats women like third-rate citizens. Thing is, I care about individual liberty and common well-being; I care about scientific inquiry and advancement; and I believe that every person deserves equity. This equity is justice and if it doesn't exist I'll fight for it until that equity is restored or created anew.”
