4. Creating A Character

Rules
The Rules

Table of contents

Rolling a character works as follows. Any dice rolls are to be made in either Roll20 or Discord.

Tip: I made Jynna Dulana as an example player character!

Come Up With A Concept

Think of a cool character you'd like to play!

Names

You can use a generator such as this one or this one for inspiration.

Appearance

I have a board of Character inspiration. Feel free to pick any cool race you see, or look up your own. Races are completely disconnected from abilities and stats, and in that sense, are purely cosmetic/"fluff".

Note: We use the Star Wars setting as a fun backdrop for roleplaying and don't necessarily stick to lore too strictly. However, when it comes to the appearance/name of your character, try to make it Star Wars-y.

For Force-sensitives: There are some cool lightsaber creators online, like this one for instance.

Roll for Attributes

The core attributes are Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma.

Roll 3d6, and assign them to each attribute in order. If you roll a 14 or higher, the next attribute will be a 7. Continue rolling as normal after that.

Swap Two Attributes

You can swap two attributes around if that creates a better fit with your character concept.

Choose a Class

Choose a class from the list, and make the corresponding starting roll for HP.

Buy Equipment

A new character starts with 1000 credits, to spend on Equipment. Don't forget to buy ammo!

Fleshing It Out

Put the art, name, and class together in a Characters-page. Link the right class through the Abilities tab. Add any starting purchases through the Inventory.

Furthermore, think about the following (and note it in the Character tab):

  • Why did you come to the West Sector?
  • Mark one other player character, and describe how you know each other (do discuss this with said player beforehand)
  • Describe a past failure in your life, and how this affects you today
  • Describe a happy memory
  • Describe what people might first notice about you when they first meet you

Quirks

Roll twice on the Quirk table and note the results on your character page. Reroll if the second quirk has the same roll as the first. Feel free to roll or choose from the Flavour Quirk table.

Finishing Up

Once that's all done, check with the DM to get your character into Roll20.
