Character Creation

Character Creation follows the rules of Big Eyes, Small Mouth. If you don't have the game or any of its anime-specific spin-offs (Sailor Moon, Demon City Shinjuki, Dominion Tank Police, Tenchy Muyo!, El-Hazard, etc.) you can use the fast play rules available on Guradians of Order's website.

Everyone gets 55 Character Points and 40 Skill Points to create both the RL PC and his TLoN Persona. Devoting more points to the RL means that the PC devoted more time to his personal development, rather than playing more time to raise his Persona's level :)

You can gain additional Character Points by giving me a hand in supporting the game:

- Making a nice (and small!) webpage layout helps.
- Transcribing the extended Attribute and Special Attribute lists (to include that which the Fast Play rules don't).
- Coming up with new material like new race templates for TLoN, spells and attacks (with their Character Point cost as well as stats), new Attributes and Special Attributes, etc.
- Yep, sending your character's picture (the RL PC and his/her Persona) helps. To keep some sort of unity, try to use the work of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion, Noir, .hack//SIGN), Yoshitoshi Abe (Lain, NieA_7, Haibane Renmei) and SquareSoft games.

Attributes, Special Attributes and Defects

Use common sense; I trust your common sense, don't disappoint me. RL characters shouldn't have supernatural and some technological and racial special attributes. You can go crazy with the Persona, tho' :)

New Special Attributes:

PLAY MASTER (4 points/level)
Stat: None.
Type: Technological
You are a Play Master at TLoN. Each level means increased access priviledges and the ability to craft new items for TLoN. You get 20 Programming Points for each level with which you can create Play Control Personas (treat like Servant), magical machines (treat like Own a Big Mecha) or new Items (treat as Personal Gear or Weapon Attack). The Personas and Items created exist only in TLoN. The PC treats his Programming Points as a pool he has available at all times, devoting some of them to creating the game elements he wants. It takes him one hour per Programming Point devoted to create a new game element, but he can call upon it or delete it instantly.

Skills

These are the point cost per level appropriate for each skill. The availability and costs listed between parentheses are for the RL world and TLoN Personas respectively. Note that a character may use some of his RL skills in TLoN, particualry those related to the Mind Stat. The relevant stat is listed as well :) Oh, some skills may look odd in a fantasy environment, but TLoN runs on a magitech basis like many FF's and El-Hazard; adapt skills as appropriate.
