YOUR PLAYER CHARACTER

Your player character is a human living in nineteenth century Upsala, gifted with the Sight. Together, she and her friends have reestablished the Society - an organization whose purpose is to track down and confront vaesen.

As a player, you should play your character wholeheartedly. Put her in dangerous and interesting situations. Do not hold back - it is more fun that way.

This wiki offers a step-by-step description of how to create a player character. You may want to do it as a group, so you can make choices that link your characters together and form interesting relationships. The choices involved in character creation have been categorized under three headings: personality, characteristics, and miscellaneous.

Under personality, you must first pick an archetype - a kind of template for the character. You then name your character and determine your motivation for exploring vaesen. You also need to specify your source of trauma, describe the event that gave you the Sight, and come up with a dark secret which you are keeping from the other player characters.

Characteristics are things your character is good at, and are used when rolling dice to see what happens in dangerous and suspenseful situations. They consist of attributes, skills, and talents.

The last part of the character creation process is covered under miscellaneous and concerns your equipment and financial resources you have at your disposal.
