Character creation

First decide the characters ancestry and traits.

Decide the character's ancestry and it's traits, does not have to be in a particular order.

Ancestry
Choose an ancestry for your character.

Traits
Every character gets 6 points to choose traits with. Every trait will have a listed cost, add all the numbers and that is the cost (Ex. 'Cost: 1 Body, 2 Mind' would cost 1 + 2 = 3).

Stats
Add what your stats are from traits and ancestry, all stats start at 1, no stat can go over. If you have a stat over +4 redistribute the point to the other stats. Now increase them by a total of 4 more.

Substats
Then when you are done with the above steps can increase the value of your substats by a total of 20. They all start at 1.

Equipment & Techniques
The GM will tell you how much equipment and how many techniques you can choose.

Flavor

There is no correct way to make a character but here are some questions to help you:

What is their name?
How did they learn their techniques?
Do they have any history with their equipment?
Where do they come from?
Any important people in their life? (family, friends, enemies)
What do they look like?
