New page

17 characteristics are determined for each Character. Together, they delineate his abilities and set the potentials
that he will have.

For each Characteristic, the Character’s [[Native Ability]] is
first created. Next, a number of [[Maximum Ability|Multipliers]] is determined
that allow the Player to set development priorities for his
Character and increase characteristic values in play. Native Ability represents the phenotypic potential of the Character. The multipliers, as applied to the Native Ability, represent the effect of his interests and goals on the development
of his potential. Together, [[Native Ability|Native Abilities]] and multipliers determine the Character’s [[Maximum Ability]].

=== Agility ===
Agility reflects the Character’s body sense and ability to maneuver his body as a whole. Problems that
require quick body movement, precise positioning of
the body or otherwise deft awareness of bodily position should use Agility as a factor.

=== Bodily Appearance ===
Usually, this represents the attractiveness of their frame and how appropriately
muscles and fat are distributed over their skeletal
frame. For example, characters with low Bodily
Attractiveness may have disproportionately long or
short arms, legs, or upper body.

=== Carry Power ===
CPW is the character's physical strength to lift and carry on his feet.

=== Constitution ===
Constitution rates the physical health of the
Character. In situations where the Character’s health
can influence his chance of survival, Constitution may
be applied.

=== Dexterity ===
Dexterity is the Character’s ability to rapidly
maneuver his limbs and perform precise actions with
his hands and/or feet. Any action that requires quick,
or precise, arm or leg movements in its resolution
should use Dexterity as a factor. Those that require
precise manipulation of an object should also apply
Dexterity.

=== Dive Maneuverability ===
Swim Maneuverability deal with how precise and how maneuverable the character is in the water.

=== Dive Power ===
Swim Power deals with how much trust a character can provide. It affects how much a character can carry while swimming and Charging/Ramming attacks in the water.

=== Eloquence ===
Eloquence rates the Character’s mental dexterity. Essentially, it can be viewed as his ability to think
quickly. Problems that require a Character to be convincing in interpersonal relations, think quickly in any
situation or otherwise respond with mental rapidity
should require Eloquence as a factor in their solution.

=== Empathy ===
Empathy reflects the Character’s ability to understand the persons or things that he encounters, with
or without precise knowledge, on an intuitive basis. It
should be applied in cases where the Character is dealing with an unknown, trying to deal with a surprise of
some kind, attempting to relate to other creatures or
in any other situation where a deep intuitive understanding of a problem is beneficial.

=== Facial Appearance ===
Distinct from all other forms of attractiveness, this considers only facial attractiveness.
All humanoid races and cultures consider certain
features to be attractive. The most attractive male
features are large eyes, large eyebrow ridges, low-set
eyebrows, high cheekbones, and bigger jaws. The
most attractive female features are eyes that are large
and wide-set, small noses, narrow facial breadths,
small chins and jaws, high eyebrows, high cheek-
bones, full lips, large smiles, dilated pupils, hair that
is well-groomed and full, and skin that is soft,
smooth, and unblemished. The symmetry between
the left and right face of a character correlates with
higher Facial Charisma.

=== Flight Maneuverability ===
Flight Maneuverability deal with how precise and how maneuverable the character is in the air.

=== Flight Power ===
Flight Power deals with how much trust a character can provide. It affects how much a character can carry in flight and Charging/Ramming attacks in the air.

=== Intelligence ===
Intelligence is the mental power of the Character. Problems that require logical analysis, rational
judgement or a calculated response should require Intelligence as a factor in their solution.

=== Kinetic Charisma ===
Kinetic Charisma deals not with
the physical shape and appearance of the character
in question, but the beauty of their bodily movements, gestures, stride, etc. For example, characters
with high Kinetic Charisma tend to stand up straight,
instead of slouching.

=== Stamina ===
Stamina is the physical toughness and staying
power of the individual. Any action that requires that
the Character maintain a level of activity over a period
of time, resist fatigue associated with the performance
of action or otherwise respond with a physically stubborn tenacity should require Stamina as a factor.

=== Strength ===
Strength is a rating of the Character’s physical
power. All problems that must be overpowered, physically moved or that entail vigorous, powerful action
should use Strength as a factor. Creatures average STR with the Power characteristic for their secondary and primary environments if it is higher than STR. if both are higher average STR and secondary Power than average again with primary Power.

=== Vocal Charisma ===
While a character may be speaking
or singing in a foreign language not understood by
the listener, factors such as tone, pitch, accent, and
inflection may influence the listener to perceive them
as attractive, or conversely, repulsive.

=== Will ===
The Character’s mental toughness. Problems that require tenacious, stubborn or resolute response should
require Will as a factor in their solution. Also, those
problems that require that the Character resist intimidation, on either a physical of mental level, should use
Will as a factor.
