Character Creation

To create a character for Planetfall follow the following steps.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

• Your character in Planetfall is someone who is present on one of the Fleet Vessels in Keter System who finds themselves suddenly cut off from the main Federation and volunteers for exploratory, peacekeeping, and investigatory Missions on the various planets in the system.
• Think about who your character is and why they're here, and why they might be risking life and limb to aid the stranded inhabitants of Keter System.
• Pick a ship, pick a background, pick some OC goals.
• Importantly, crucially, pick a name!

• Your Background adds depth and additional character options to explain who you are and how you came to be where you are.
• Select a background (or wait to pick one up in play).

• In Planetfall your character's impact on the world is defined by their character Class and Abilities.
• You may pick abilities from any Class restricted by rank.
• At Character Creation you have 4 XP to spend on Abilities - each Ability costs 1 XP.

• Exact process here TBD but please email to katieleahmoore@gmail.com so I can see what you're making!
