CREATING A NEW CHARACTER

Creating a New Character
You'r Not limited to the templates provided here. you can create your own!

First decide what type of person you want to play and write up his or her background and personality.

Type. Your template needs a " Type": a short title that describes your character, some of the Types shown in this book's templates show the " Space Dog, the SpaceBall, and the Student of the Schwartz" your type should be just as descriptive. If you want to be an Alien, the type can include your species such as " Mog Space Bandito", or " ChestBurster Druish rabiah"

Changing A templates Species
If you've picked a templates but want to change the Species, you may have to make a few changes.
Check to make sure everything fits within your Species' rules for " Attribute Dice," and "Move" (All of this is explained in detail in the Chapter on "Aliens.")

Attribute Dice.
Each Species description has an " Attribute Dice" Listing; Your Character begins with an extra 6D for Attribute Dice.
Example: Turning to the " Aliens, " you see that Humans have 12D Attribute Dice. Your Character gets an extra 6D, for the total of 18D Attribute Dice

Determine Attributes.Each Species description has a list for each Attribute. the Left number is the Minimum Attribute die Code; the right number is the Maximum Attribute die code.

[glow=red,2,300].[/glow]HUMAN
Attribute Dice: 12D
Dexterity 2D/4D
Knowledge 2D/4D
Mechanical 2D/4D
Perception 2D/4D
Streangth 2D/4D
Technical 2D/4D
Move: 10/12

Split up your attribute dice among the six Attributes, making sure that each attribute is no less than the minimum and no more than the maximum die code.
You can split a die into three "pips." A +1 means " one pip." while a +2 means "two pips". (When you split a die, you either get three " +1"'s or one "+2" and one "+1") You'll never see a " +3"-instead, the die code will increase to the next full die- 2D, 2D+1, 2D+2, then 3D..and so on.
Example: Your Human Character starts with 18D. The description of humans in " Aliens," notes the Human minimum for all attributes is 2D, while the Maximum for all them is 4D.
You want a character who is good with a Blaster, and is good at dodging out of the way so you put the maximum of 4D in Dexterity.
You decide your character is about average when it comes to Knowledge, so you put 2D in that attribute.
Next is Mechanical...you want a really good Pilot, so you put 4D in Mechanical. You'd love to be able to put 5D in Mechanical but that's above the the human Mechanical maximum of 4D.
You have to split among perception, Streangth, and Technical. For Perception you put 3D; thats alittle better than average.
You want Streangth for your human to be half way decent Technical Skill so he can fix things. You Put 2D in both Streangth, and Technical.
You have 1 Attribute die left. you decide to split the Die into three pips, and you add "+1" each to Perception, Streangth, and Technical. That gives your character a perception of 3D+1, a streangth of 2D+1, and a Technical of 2D+1

Special Abilities. Some Species have special abilities that can be used during the game. Write these down on your character sheet.
Some Special abilities only matter when you're creating a character-you may get bonuses when choosing skills, for example. you don't have to write them down on your character sheet, but pay attention to them when you choose skills.

Example: your character is a human, humans dont have any special abilities.
Then you notice that Mogs have alot of special abilities. the first two-Skill bonuses and Skill-limits-only matter when you create a Mog Character
The final one- the Mogs heightened sence of Smell- could come up during game play. whenever the mog is trying to track something by scant, the character gets to roll and extra +1D on his Search skill.


Move. Each species has two numbers. The left number is the normal move for an adult of the species; Your character starts with this move
The Right number is the Maximim Move a member of the Species can have-the Section "Character advancement" tells you how you can increase your characters move rate.
(the move rate is how many meters your character can move in a round-movement rules are discussed in the chapter movement and chases)
ExampleThe human move listings is 10/12. your Characters move is a 10. the heightest move a normal human can have is 12

Schwarts -Sensitive.
Decide whether to make your character Schwartz-Sensitive. If the awnser is yes then your character starts with two upside points, a character NOT sensitive to the Schwartz only gets one Schwartz point.

Schwartz Skills. With the permission of the Gamemaster, you may choose to give a Schwartz sensitive character Schwartz Skills, there are three Schwartz skills Control, Focus, and Alter You can give your Character a 1D in a Schwartz skill at the cost of 1D attribute Dice
Schwartz Skills are very unusual so a character needs a very good reason to start the game with them! You must also get permission from the Gamemaster to have a Schwartz useing Character.

Example: If you make your character a Schwartz-sensitive and take a 1D in both Control, and Focus the cost is 2D attribute Dice: you'll have to subtract the 2D from among your Attribute.
you could chose to lower your Dexterity from 4D, to 3D- that's 1D, With 1D to go how about reducing that Technical attribute of 2D+1? Subtracting the 1D would leave the Technical at 1D+1 which is below the Human minumum of 2D, you can't do that
Instead, you could lower your Perception from 3D+1 to 2D+1.

Down Side Points
A character particularly tainted by the Down Side of the Schwartz may start with a Down Side point, or two, it's up to you and the Game Master, but if your character starts with Down side points, it means not only are they assholes, but you have to be very careful your character is not pushed over the brink to become a total dickweed.
Playing this type of character can be a real challange! ( Down Side points are fully explained in " the rules")
