You are different from other humans. You look human (you might have one or two details like an odd natural hair color, though), but you're more than human-- healthier, faster, stronger-- a lot stronger, like two or three times stronger (not that you look like a big weight-lifter or anything. Unless you do). You're probably better-looking, too.

Why? Well, whether you know it yet or not, it's because at least one of your parents was of the royal family of Amber, a magical world...


Character creation:

1. Special Option: You get to choose ONE special option:

--You're good at combat

--You're good at magic

--You've got some sort of awesome magic item that your parent gave you//left you



2. Minor Option: You also get to choose ONE minor option from among these:

--You're good with using The Pattern, the special thing imprinted on an Amberite's DNA that makes them special

--Special Study: You have one special area of study (Strategy/Planning, Marksmanship, Riding, Tracking, Other)

--Manipulation: (politics, diplomacy, charm, haggling, making alliances, causing friction among others (you don't pick one of these-- all of them fall under manipulation), etc.)



3. Stats: Distribute these scores: 16 (+2), 15 (+1), 13 (+1), 12, 11, 9, 8 (-1).

(Strength)      ......         STR :
(Dexterity/Agility)  ...    DEX :
(Constitution/Toughness) CON :
(Intelligence)   ......        INT :
(Perception)    ......         PER :
(Willpower)     ......         WIL :
(Charisma/Personality)   CHR :

Keep in mind that these are not human stats. These are Amberite stats.
--An Amberite with a STR of 8 can still break down the average door without trouble.
--An Amberite with a CON of 8 can still shrug off disease and fatigue better than the average human.
--An Amberite with a WIL of 8 still has a strong will next to the average human.
--An Amberite with a CHR of 8 is still decent-looking-- maybe even gorgeous-- it's the abrasive personality that brings down the curve, in such a case...


Other details: You get one extra point to spend...

4. Looks: On a scale of 1 to 11, where 7 is "notably better than average" and 9 is "TV star" and 10 is "huge movie star in his/her prime," how good-looking is your character? (Do not choose lower than 6.) (Choosing 11 means you spend your extra point.)

5. Money: Money has never been a problem for you... but spend your extra point to make sure you have a lot of liquid assets you may spend later in the game on one really big (like buying high-quality weapons for a small army).

6. Gear: You start with whatever gear you want to carry around... you have a maximum Load of 6 plus your STR bonus (or penalty).

7. Damage:
--If you chose the Combat special option, your damage die is d10.
--Otherwise, your damage die is d8 against non-supernatural threats, d6 against supernatural threats (including other Amberites etc.), although it still might go back up to d8 if it involves your specialty (Marksmanship, say).

8. HP: Your HP starts at 18 plus your CON bonus (or penalty). (Spend your extra point to get 3 extra HP on top of that).

9. Background: You are the child of at least one Amberite, but choose where on Earth you have been raised...

10. You have a signature color, and a secondary color (and, if you want, a tertiary color, but that's optional). You are drawn to wear them, to choose only accessories in your color scheme... Name your colors, please...

<b>11. The other details will come later: specifically, the GM will talk to you about the other details...
