Editing Setting:CATastrophe/MAID Conversion Character Creation (section)

==Step 6: Popularity and Spirit==
Your starting Favor is equal to your Affection score, times two. <br/>
Your Spirit is equal to your Will score, times ten. <br/>
Both of these can start off at zero if the corresponding attribute is zero, making the character initially far more vulnerable to dismissal (in the case of Favor) <br/>
or Stress Explosions (in the case of Spirit), but something has to happen during the game for either of these to be triggered. <br/>

Favor represents how pleased the City/Tribe/Treasure Guild is with a Kemomimi.<br/>
The GM (The Nyador Counsel) hands out points of Favor to the Kemomimi characters whenever they deserve it. <br/>
In particular, points of Favor should go to Treasure hunters who work hard to serve, assist, or rescue their Kin. These points can be spent in the following ways:<br/>

|-

A Kemomimi whose Favor drops below 0 is banished by the Council or their party. <br/>
To avoid being dismissed, Kemomimi can lower one of their attributes by one point, gaining 10 times the new attribute level in Favor (e.g., lowering Athletics from 3 to 2 provides 20 Favor), <br/>
until the maid has 0 or more Favor. Of course, that means that Kemomimi can wind up on a downward spiral of reduced ability.<br/>
