Character Creation

Character Creation: Setting defines the character. What does this mean? Simply put, so long as your character idea fits within the setting guidelines, you can be just about anything you can image. Pharos Station is a sci-fi setting. You can be a space jockey, a businessman, a space cowboy, an actor, a station rat, a mob boss, a cyber-girl, a bounty hunter, a robot, a mercenary or just about any other sci-fi character you can imagine. Because it's sci-fi, you would naturally avoid creating a dwarven swordfighter, a pixie, a dragon, a vampire, a werewolf, or an elven mage since these character types are more at home in the open-ended fantasy based setting of the Red Dragon Inn.

Character History: You Decide. Your character's history is up to you. You can make it detailed or leave it vague to be discovered during the course of the play. You can create your own background with worlds, societies, species all of your own making or you can utilize the information offered by the setting. It's your choice. Deciding on one or the other does not make you a better or worse player than your fellow player, it is simply the way you decided to make your character.

Character Growth: You Control The Potential. Your character can grow and change as you think your character should as your character experiences things during the course of play. You decide if watching a certain event or experiencing a certain thing will have a lasting impression on your character or if your character will even remember it the next day.

Character Interaction: Give and Take. There are no written rules that determine action or the resolution of character exchanges. There will be no dice or Storyteller to determine the outcome of a situation. There is only player cooperation. If there is a 'rule' in Free Form Role-Play, it should be Cooperation Between Players.
