Overview

Character Generation

AX.GHW.05.01

This setting is intended as a deep and diverse source for telling a number of different stories in a variety of different ways. While the details presented here weave everything into a mostly cohesive setting, not every detail is critical.

A Session Zero (see AX.GHW.14.02.06) is the most effective method to assure players understand the Game Master's intended story tone and theme so characters can be generated to compliment and operate within that framework and expectation.

GMs might limit or alter aspects of the setting to more effectively tell their story. Some lineages, professions, powers and threats may not work with the intended story. This could limit player options at generation and throughout the story.

The essential generation process from AX.C.05.01 still applies:

  1. Discuss character concepts to formulate identities, roles and connections
  2. Determine the appropriate Generation Package
  3. Choose appropriate Lineages for the story
  4. Choose appropriate Professions for the story
  5. Generate Attributes
  6. Generate Talents & Foci
  7. Calculate Derived Statistics
  8. Equip your characters

Enjoy the story!
