Warning: Pre-Alpha
This game is currently in pre-alpha, and at this time, I do not recommend running a game in it yet. Every single game mechanic and piece of lore is subject to potentially breaking changes.

II - Character Creation
Before creating your character, talk with your Plot Twister and with the rest of the players, to figure out what kind of story you'll be telling together. Are you a crew of survivors, just trying to make it to next year? Hired guns tasked with protecting some cargo? Explorers who've just discovered a secret hidden under the ash? A group of raiders planning your next hit? Prisoners trying to escape? Merchants on a road trip through the wasteland?
Once the basic premise of your adventure has been established, to create a character, follow these steps:
1. Character Concept
Ask yourself, who is the character you would like to play? What is their job in the wasteland? What bonds tie them to the rest of the party? What are their goals? What is their personality like? What are their quirks?
2. Your Attributes
Distribute your attributes, as per the rules in the Allocating Attributes section.
3. Your Abilities
Select skills and perks as described in the Abilities section.
Note: If this is your first game of Flare Fall, it is recommended to start your adventure at level 0 instead of level 1. If you do, skip this step and go back to it later!
4. Starting Equipment
Select a starting kit for your character, or buy and craft your own items with your starting budget, as described in the Starting Equipment section.
