| ===== Character Elements ===== | ===== Character Elements ===== | ||
| - | TODO | + | Characters in the Wildsea are built from three background elements (Bloodline, Origin, Post) and use seven broad Edges (Grace, Iron, Instinct, Sharps, Teeth, Tides, Veils) that add 1d6 to rolls, plus sixteen ranked Skills and multiple Languages that provide both mechanical benefits and cultural knowledge. Aspects are the core of character uniqueness - traits, gear, or companions that provide special abilities and absorb damage through their tracks, with players able to develop, combine, or create custom aspects as characters advance. Characters are driven forward by Drives (personal goals that provide mechanical benefits when pursued) while being dragged down by Mires (psychological degradation from wildsea exposure that impose penalties), with advancement happening through Milestones that fuel project tracks for improving skills, aspects, and other character elements. |
| ===== Character Creation ===== | ===== Character Creation ===== | ||

| + | Characters are created by combining one Bloodline, one Origin, and one Post. Players can use Quickstart creation (choosing one of each element and following preset kits for balanced characters) or Freeform creation with either Young Gun (limited starting options, high growth potential) or Old Dog (full power level) approaches. Each background element provides specific edges, skills, aspects, resources, drives, and mires that reflect both the mechanical abilities and cultural/ | ||
