The character Archetype allows a player to quickly define a complex character idea that is rooted in the game’s setting and has a direct influence on the game’s mechanic while preserving enough flexibility to not hinder creativity. The character Archetype is a simple sentence with a rigid structure: Attribute + Affiliation + Title + Location. Each of these components of the character Archetype is provided with a number of options to choose.
