Help - Character Creation

Below is a basic process for creating characters. This can be adapted and modified to fit whatever needs the GM feels, and should be flexible enough to cover all scenarios but simple enough that an entire session isn’t needed for creation.

This is just to add flavour and backstory to the character and help guide the players’ choices. These can also help with social scenarios, for example a Nomad may have an easier time talking to other Nomads.

A full list is available on the Options page, but see some examples below:

Role	Description
Street Samurai	Cyber-enhanced warrior, close combat specialist
