Character Creation

Please, by Wednesday, July 3rd, submit a rough outline of your character to me.

Here's what I'd like from you: You don't have to choose your Aspects or anything else "mechanical" yet, I just want to know who your character is.
 * Your "High Concept" (see p. 40 of the FATE PDF)
 * Your "Trouble". (right after "High Concept" section)
 * A brief description of your character's appearance, background, personality, and goals. Feel free to be as thorough as you'd like.
 * Also, a brief story (a single paragraph is fine) detailing an "adventure" your character has completed.
 * You do not have to have any connection to the other PCs if you don't want to, however, you must have a reason why your character will be in the town of Springwater (more about the town soon, for now, just know it's a very small settlement out in the middle of nowhere). I realize this is pretty vague, so you don't need to go into specifics ("running from the law" or "my brother owns a pet store there" would be fine, for example). I'll have more info about the place/world for you by Wednesday.
 * However, if your character does have any relationship with another PC, please spell it out for me.

You can submit your character as either a page on this wiki or, if you want to keep some things hidden from the other players, you can submit it via Dropbox or email.

After you submit your character we will go over it together, I'll answer any questions you have, and then you can go about making the final version of your character by Friday, by which time you should be finished reading the parts of the FATE rulebook which are necessary for character creation, as well as the relevant parts of this wiki.

We'll play on Sunday.

Also! Extra Bonus Mega Credits!
Not required, but if you want to come up with anywhere between one and four NPCs with whom your character has a history with (friendly or hostile), feel free to include them with your character overview. You will get 1,000 XP for each NPC you create*


 * Note that there are no levels in the FATE system and XP is about as meaningless as Reddit karma as far as mechanics go, but if you earn 100,000 XP you will be able to exchange it for a token which lets you change your character's appearance. Neat!

Experimental Play Session
If anyone wants to have a brief experimental play session with me on either Thursday or Friday to try out some of the rules and familiarize ourselves with the mechanics without having to worry about "running the game", let me know. 99,000 XP will be rewarded for participating. Consider it a pre-order bonus.

Also, 101,000 XP buys a really neat facial tattoo of a tiger inside of a spider web that gives you a permanent +2 to your Arousal skill.
