Character Creation

Standard WFRP2 rules for character creation:

REGARDING CHARACTER IDEAS
I want correct character ideas, including a colorful background (no need to be too long, but should be believable and fit into the Warhammer world), a description of personality and appearance (try to keep this one fitting into the world as well). I require personal and religious strictures and things that the character is afraid, he/she loves, hates ... etc. Don't skip this part!

REGARDING CHARACTER CREATION
There are 2 general ways to create a character in my game:
1st You can roll it out in the appropriate way as described in the rulebook. Rolling out stats, you can have only one Shallya's Mercy, rolling out starting careers, random talents etc. All the rolls must happen at the dice roller.

2nd you can choose and distribute. You can distribute 250 points amongst the stats, including Wounds as well, but don't forget the minimum and maximum limits of the stats (if WS rolled with 2D10+20 then it shouldn't be less than 22 and shouldn't be more than 40, without any talent modifications and such. These limits can change regarding the chosen race.) You can choose the random talents from the list of the appropriate race.

Furthermore you can choose name, height, star signs and such things, I don't expect to roll them that's a silly thing I suppose (but if you wish...)

IMPORTANT THING
is that you MUST roll Fate Points and Money (However you can roll 2 times and choose the better one). This must be done at the dice roller!

REGARDING RACES
You can choose any race from the Warhammer world, that are in official WFRP2 publications AND considered basically good, like
Human
Elf (if you choose elf, I'd like to know which type is it: Wood Elf from some of the great forests? High Elf from a descendant from Ultuhan (That would need a REALLY good story though)?, a Simple Elf raised amongst the men in the Empire on in Marienburg and such?, Dark Elf not allowed.)
Halfling
Dwarf

I'm very happy with the official race modifications, like the Provincial Features in the Empire, or Kislevitans and like those... use them courageously, I have all the WFRP2 publications.

No skaven, beastmen, mutants and such evil things! This is going to be a good party.

REGARDING CAREERS
You can choose any of the available Basic careers, I like wizards and Priests as well, but I'd like to see a protean party. No wizard dump! Try to piece out the party, you'll need it. Because of this I'll start a thread regarding the available careers.

REGARDING BIRTHPLACE
You can from wherever you wish, from Araby to Troll Country, but I'll require a good explanation in the background how the hell did you happened at the place where the adventure started.

REGARDING EQUIPMENT
You get what you get basically and from the career but I don't mind if you spend your starting money. Availability is not an option in this regard.
