When writing a Character Sheet, prioritize readability.
You may use gifs, images, decorations, dividers, theme music, etc, but make sure your application can be read.

Examples:
This is where you write down what your character is if they are "Occult" in some way. Occult means that they have some type of supernatural heritage or power beyond that of their heritage mechanics. Sometimes people can be more than one type of occult, but some can never overlap.

Afflictions: People who have been cursed to become something unnatural, before or after their deaths. You can learn about them here.

[Skill Information]
Hobbies and Talents
Talk about any hobbies or skills your character might have.
Be sure to check out the list of hobbies to see the limits of magic and technology outside of combat.
Example:
Hobbies and Talents:
- Magical Talent
- Cooking
- Underwater basket weaving
Mechanics are mostly noncombative powers and features a character may gain from their heritage, being occult, occupation, or item of power. Each mechanic is explained on the page they are written on.
Characters of mixed heritage may pick between the mechanics of both of their parents for a total of 5.
Example:
Mechanics:
- Fin'ullen can Transform into Daphalar, turning part or whole parts of their body into Aquatic humanoids (think Merfolk), this is not a Disguise.
- Fin'ullen can apply non-Magic aesthetics of deep-sea creatures and coral to their body without becoming Occult. This also includes clothes and weapons.
- Fin'ullen can breathe underwater without any Abilities, and can also see perfectly underwater without it blurring their vision, allowing them to stay submerged indefinitely.
- Teledden can see things from incredibly far away if they focus, able to spot an eagle landing a kilometer away or a coin being flipped across a town. Ask DM for Event use.
- Teledden do not need to sleep, but can do so if they wish, or enter into a trancelike state of meditation that approximates sleep but leaves them watchful.
Languages
All Characters can speak Common. Additional languages can be chosen from the Languages page, within reason, such as being raised in that culture or study.
Example:
Languages
- Common
- Ithanian
Discuss any parts of your Character's backstory here that you think others might want to know, or just things about them that other people can use as reasons to roleplay with them.
An event from the character's backstory can be a plot hook or an ideal that they might hold can be one as well.
The proficiency and ability systems are used as a way to quantify combat power in roleplay and allow for a fair way for conflict resolution.
You do not need to fill out your stats and abilities to roleplay, but this is required for combat roleplay.
Due to the necessity of the rules and mechanical information, we recommend reading the page in full here.
[Proficiency points and Stats]
All characters have 14 proficiency points to spend across 7 stats:
Having zero points in a category doesn't make a character bad at the category, it only means they are average.
A character must pick a primary defense and attack stat to roll with for combat roleplay.
[Abilities]
Abilities are powers and techniques primarily used during combat roleplay, similar to spells and skills from other roleplaying games. You can learn more about abilities and the associated terms and rules here.
For every 1 point invested in a statcan buy 1 ability in that category. 7 points in strength for instance means you can have 7 abilities in the strength category.
A character may also have additional abilities from their heritage called Free Packs, these do not count towards the 7 maximum ability in a state because points were not used to buy them.
