===Creating a Pilot===
Typically, points allocated to pilots roughly indicates their skill level.

*0-5 points - Completely dependent on the machine. (Some kind of A.I. or autopilot)
*6-15 points - Rookie/Grunt
*16-25 points - Veteran /Competent Pilot
*26-35 points - Ace Pilot
*35+ points - Legendary Pilot

They have the following stats with these default values:

*'''Morale Level 0''' - Represents the current morale of your character. At -5, your character can no longer fight and flees the battle.
*'''Morale Gain''' - Represents how your character gains morale in battle by default. You have one free morale gain at character creation.
*'''Defensive 1''' - Represents Defensive capability. Score represents number of dice produced for Defensive Functions.
*'''Offensive 1''' - Represents Offensive capability. Score represents number of dice produced for Offensive Functions.
*'''Morale 1''' - Represents Capability with Morale. Score represents number of dice produced for functions that reduce or raise morale.
*'''Repair 1''' - Represents Capability with Supportive activities. Score represents number of dice produced for functions that repair armor or restore energy.
*'''Traits''' - Traits represent specific items/features/abilities your pilot has that activate on specific situations/functions. These come in the form of extra dice, and are an optional means to further customize your character. See trait creation below for more information.
*'''Seishin''' - Abilities that grant various bonuses in battle. By default you can get a free 1 starting point cost Seishin ability.
*'''Seishin Points 3/3''' - Refers to an 'energy pool' for your seishin. Determines how many times or by how much you can use seishin in a battle.

====Morale Level====
Morale represents a character's willingness to fight or to perform feats he would normally not do otherwise. By default, it is at 0, representing a neutral state. This can then be raised or reduced due to various skills and conditions. It is used to grant stat benefits and more specifically, for Trait and Function Requirements.  

Morale naturally rises when:
* The Battle rages on, represented by +1 every turn... Unless the battle has a special condition or if the GM decides to scrap this rule.
* Destroying or aiding in the destruction of 3 enemy units gives you +1 morale level.
* Being lowered to 1/4 or to just 1 of your armor points gives you +1 morale level.
* Being attacked 3 times, regardless of enemy's success/failure gives +1 morale level.
* Being repaired or restored 3 times within a battle via the restore/repair function.
* Other situations the GM mandates that raises morale.

Default morale can be increased by one at the cost of 5 starting points. However, it is advisable for GMs not to have default morale modified at character creation, and it is encouraged for GMs to simply decide a 'common' default morale on a case to case basis. (depending on mission/situation.)

====Morale Gain====
These are optional abilities, representing the character's inborn ability to gain morale. Adding these costs 5 points.
* Gain +2 at the start of battle.
* Gain +1 for the destruction of one of your allies.
* Gain +1 for getting damaged.
* Gain +1 for the destruction of an enemy.
* Gain +1 for avoiding damage. (Defense/Passive Defense)
* Gain +1 for successfully using a restore/repair function.

Beyond these, the GM decides when you gain or lose Morale. This is just your 'default' morale gaining method.

====Defensive====
Defensive is a piloting skill that determines the amount of dice produced when using a function that reduces or avoids damage. By default, you have a score of 1, which means you can produce only 1 die. You may increase the number of dice produced by paying 1 starting point to add 1 to this skill's score.

====Offensive====
Offensive is a piloting skill that determines the amount of dice produced when using a function that deals damage to armor/energy/morale. By default, you have a score of 1, which means you can produce only 1 die. You may increase the number of dice produced by paying 1 starting point to add 1 to this skill's score.

====Morale====
Morale is a piloting skill that determines the amount of dice produced when using a function that raises or reduces morale. By default, you have a score of 1, which means you can produce only 1 die. You may increase the number of dice produced by paying 1 starting point to add 1 to this skill's score.

====Repair====
Repair is a piloting skill that determines the amount of dice produced when using a function that repairs or restores energy or armor. By default, you have a score of 1, which means you can produce only 1 die. You may increase the number of dice produced by paying 1 starting point to add 1 to this skill's score.

====Traits====
Traits are optional bonus stats that only produce bonus dice in specific situations. To create one, simply think of a pilot trait/tool he would use that isn't necessarily part of the mecha. Then, allocate it to activate on one of your mecha's functions, giving it a cost of 1 starting point for a score of 1. For each function it is added to in this way, it costs an additional 1 starting point to raise it by a score of 1.

''EXAMPLE: Paorou has a special visor for sniping, which he uses for his mecha's ultimate cannon attack. Said attack is an Offense function at rank 5. Since he only uses it for this function it only costs 1 starting point to raise it to a score of one. Since he has 3 starting points left, he can raise it up to a score of 3. That means he can produce an extra 3 dice whenever he uses his ultimate cannon attack.''

You can also reduce the cost of a trait by applying a morale, armor, or energy requirement. this means that these traits can only be used if the character meets a specific morale level or if he uses up armor or energy. The costs are below:
* For every 1 morale level above 0 required for trait activation, reduce starting point cost by -1. Represented as <required level>MOR. (i.e. 1MOR)
* For every 1 energy point removed upon trait activation, reduce starting point cost by -1. Represented as <required points>EN (i.e. 2EN)
* For every 1 armor point removed upon trait activation, reduce starting point cost by -2. Represented as <required points>ARM (i.e. 3ARM)
* Depending on your GM, there may be other penalties or requirements for using the trait that he/she may allow.

''EXAMPLE: Paorou's visor above is actually used for 2 functions, the ultra mega cannon, and a laser rifle. That means he has to pay 6 starting points to have a score of 3 in this trait. He decides to reduce the score to 2, reducing the cost to 4. However, he's still short by one point. He decides to add a requirement of 1 morale to reduce the starting point cost to 3.''

In the case of a trait linked to a function that has multiple pools (for example, a hybrid morale offense), you must decide which pool gains the bonus dice linked to the trait, prior to rolling for the function. The effects of Effort, Cheer and Accelerate only occur after this has been done.

====Seishin====
Seishin are pilot abilities that bestow bonuses and specific effects to help in battle. They use seishin points upon activation in battle. Unless specified in the effects, Seishin cannot be used twice in the same turn. By default, you can get a free 1 starting point for the purpose of purchasing seishin. Each seishin has a different starting point cost, seishin point use, and effect that lasts for the rest of the turn, so refer to the list below for more information:

*1 - Invincibility - Take no damage on your next failed defense. - 1SP
*1 - Flash - Automatically succeed the next defense. - 1SP

====Seishin Points====
Seishin Points are a score that represents how much Seishin you can use in a battle. Upon activation of a seishin, it's Seishin Point cost is deducted from the Seishin Point Pool. Seishin Points can be restored by other seishin, and fully restored at the completion of every battle. By default you have 2 seishin points. You can increase this by 2 points through paying 1 starting point.
