Character Creation

@Morphling Choose one physical and one mental quality. Assign one a d8 and the other a d10. Pick a Principle from any with the "identity" category. If you're not sure which one, let me know which ones sound interesting and I'll post photos with more details of those. After that, roll a d10 and 2d8 for your power source.

I think Impulsive and Cursed work really well together! Maybe they were a treasure hunter and recklessly stole a cursed artifact, or couldn't control their temper and insulted/harmed a black magic user who cursed them. Lots of interesting possibilities!

Can I ask a bit about the qualities? Like how would conviction be different from self-discipline? And what does finesse mean exactly?

Sure, you can always ask! Conviction is a strong belief or faith, think like a paladin. Self-discipline is control of emotions and willpower, think monk. Finesse is hand dexterity, like anything a rogue would do: pick pockets, pick locks, disable traps, etc.

Alright I am going to give Close Combat a D10 and Alertness a D8. Can I know more about Amnesia, Spotless Mind, Rage, and Savagery?

EDIT: I said Blank Slate, I meant Spotless Mind.

As much as I like the trope of a cowboy in a town where all the time travelers end up. I think i'll work towards a blue beetle/Greatest American Hero homage if that's ok. A character from today that ened up with advance tech somehow. (depending on how the dice roll I guess)

d10 close combat / d8 technology / Principle of Future

Sounds good! Maybe he found weapons left behind by another time traveler? Or from an alien race?

Alright I think I'll choose Discovery which from reading the others I'm assuming is something related to self-discovery or discovering the world?

Background: Blank Slate
Awareness d8/Close Combat d10/Principle of Amnesia

Yeah, I'm digging that idea. Luckily I rolled 7/Relic, so I think that's the way to go. (altohugh, I'll ready through Experimentation, just in case😀)

alright - going with Relic
d10 Signature weapon (the relic) / d8 Elemental: Sonic / d6 Self Control: Absorbtion
YELLOW Magical Shield / Momentary Power
GREEN Punishment

That's a little different than I thought, I'll go with Amnesia.

Anyway, I got a 4 on the d10, and an 8 and a 4 on the d8s, what does that mean?

So use any one die result, or a combination of them, to determine your Power Source. So your options are 4, 8, 12, or 16: Experimentation, Powered Suit, Artificial Being, or Cosmos.

Alright I'll go with Artificial Being. Looks another 1d10 and 2d8 for Archetype?

You also use the dice you rolled for powers to assign dice to your powers. So you rolled a d10 and 2d8, meaning you choose three powers, and assign one a d10, and two d8s. Then assign each power a green or yellow ability from below.


For archetype you rolled 5, 5, 8, meaning you can pick from archetypes 5, 8, 10, 13, or 18.

as much fun as Wild Card seems, it also looks like it would be annoying to fellow PCs. I'll stick with Close Quarters Combatant for the archetype.
Already have the close combat quality at a d10, so skipping that. (I assume that means I still get to assign that d10 it to a power for my archetype)
d10 Mobility: leaping / d10 Physical: Acrobatics / d6 Athletics: Vitality
GREEN Dual Strike / Offensive Strike / Defensive Strike
YELLOW Throw Minion
Principle of the Everyman

I think I would like a signature weapon, a mobility power, and a self-control power, but I'm not sure what exactly my options are yet.

I’m still fiddling around with my hero! As usual, I need to find some art/concept that clicks with me and then I’m off to the races!
