Example of Character Creation (cont’d)
Now it’s time to define Dai’s quirks – five minor character traits that
help to define his personality. We choose the following:
1. “Dislikes deep water.” Thieves’ Guild enforcers threw the young Dai
off a pier, and he nearly drowned. To this day, he is leery of deep water.
2. “Loves high places.” Given Dai’s gifts, he can get to some very high
places indeed. When he cases a joint, he always wants a view from the top.
3. “No drugs or alcohol.” Dai is no Puritan, but growing up on the
streets he saw too many people destroy themselves that way.
4. “Sensitive about his height.” Dai is self-assured, but he cannot deny
one physical shortcoming: he isn’t very tall. This is a topic best avoided in
conversation . . .
5. “Showoff.” Dai isn’t quietly overconfident. He has more than his fair
share of natural talents, and is all too happy to demonstrate them.
Dai’s quirks are worth -1 point apiece, or -5 points total. As a result, his
point total becomes 203 points.
