Character Creation and Modification

Open Questions

To generate initial character ideas, you can play Open Questions.

Here are some suggestions for good questions to ask in the “character” phase.

Die	Q	Character Questions
	Who	Who is important in this character’s life?
	What	What drives the character? What are they good at? What are they bad at?
	When	When were some significant life events for the character?
	Where	Where does the character come from? Where do they live now?
	How	How does the character make a living?
	Why	Why does the character get up in the morning?

Stats

Many systems use three stats (or sometimes groups of stats), which are basically Physical, Mental and Social under various names. Using these three or a version thereof will therefore make your character creation system more portable.
