'ras Re4ise& !as a re4ision of te "ame !ic too% a&4anta"e of o! open te system !as

Chapter " Character Creation

A little bit &ifferent, an& a little bit te same...

Step ) ConceptFor"ettin" abo#t stats an& n#mbers, te first tin" re8#ire& is to tin% abo#t a caracter.

1. Personal &ata.

2. Dirt#es an& fla!s.

6. Moti4ations

Anta"onism amon" player caracters can be f#n at first, b#t !en te "ro#p starts &i4i&in" a4ein min& tat te GM !ill ine4itably a4e to start &i4i&in" is attention span bet!een te remainin"factions (tr#st me, its #na4oi&able), an& te real problems !ill be"in at te also #na4oi&able time!en te GM starts payin" more attention to one faction tan oters (for storys sa%e or !ate4er reason). Also, if ba&ly an&le&, conflicts bet!een player caracters can easily e4ol4e in conflictsbet!een players.
