Nina Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Basic Character Creation follows the Core Book Rules. You may use the rules in the character customization section found on page 356 of the Core rule book for further customization. All Characters will start at Tier 1 Starting Characters will be native Earth humans who will be either Active Agents of the estate who have Translated at least once or Brand new recruits to The Estate, while not likely ,new recruits may also have translated if that fits your background. Your Concept/Background should include why the Estate Recruited you if your a brand new recruit, if you are an active agent you should include your experience with the Estate up to the point of the games start. PCs can have Connections if you are both Active agents. Characters who are active agents or whose background include having translated may if you choose start with one Cypher chosen by you and approved by me Other starting Cyphers will be supplied by the estate at the beginning of your missions. PCs do not have to list how they became involved in the 1st adventure. A Note on Descriptors, Foci, and Cyphers there are those found in Numenara as well as numerous player created descriptors and foci that can be found on the internet on site such as http://theninthworld.com/ , most of them are geared toward Numenara but can be used with some tweaking in The Strange. If you find one of these you would like to use pm me and I will see if it is compatible with this game. I will be adding a list of these to this thread in the future if its on this list it is usable without checking with me first. If you need assistance in creating a character Please PM me. Further Information for The Strange's game system and setting can be found here http://www.montecook...to-the-strange/ please PM if you have any further questions.
