Editing Double Cross (section)

==Character Creation==
Double Cross gives you three ways to build a character, depending on how much you want to customize.
===Quick Start===
Pick your favorite anime cliche from the list of pregens available and generate Personal Data (see below) for whoever you picked. Boom, you're done. Great for one-shots and trying to convince your group to play this crazy thing.
===Construction===
The skill-package method of character creation. Choose your Syndromes, Cover (what everyone thinks you do) and Work (what you actually do; gives you free skills and a stat bonus), then calculate your stats based on your Syndromes. Grab four powers, then distribute your five skill points. (Refreshingly, the system admits that being able to paint really well isn't as useful in an action game as shooting guns, so each point in a non-combat skill buys you two ranks.) Generate Personal Data and you're done.
===Full Scratch===
The [[GURPS]] method. You get a big bag of experience to spend however you want, then you generate Personal Data.
===Personal Data===
Here the tables be. This is where the game generates much of your character's personality for you; fortunately the book fully expects you to pick and choose instead of rolling randomly for everything. The big thing happening here from a mechanical standpoint is that this is where you build your '''Loises.''' Loises are the relationships your character has with other people and are composed of a positive emotion and a negative emotion associated with that relationship. Loises are important because they give the GM easy plot hooks and they help keep the virus from taking over your character completely.
The different components of your Personal Data are:
*Origin: Your upbringing
*Experience: A defining event in your character's life
*Encounter: A relationship with a setting NPC
*Awakening: What caused the Renegade Virus to activate and turn you into a Bleach character
*Impulse: What the Renegade Virus tries to make you do; this table is full of ''fun'' things like [[Flesh Tearers|drinking blood]], [[Dark Eldar|torturing people]] and [[World Eaters|fighting everybody]] so you want to avoid having to act on your Impulse
===Renegade Beings===
Sometimes the Renegade Virus infects something that isn't human and kind of extrudes a human-shaped blob of virus with free will and a mind of its own. This called a '''Renegade Being.''' To play one of these you just pick "Renegade Being" as your character's Work during chargen, then decide what your Origin (whatever the hell you were before you were infected with Renegade; this can be anything from animals and trees to ''rocks, websites, and urban legends.'' That's right, you can play as [[4chan]]) is and roll on the alternate Personal Data tables for Renegade Beings. Being a Renegade Being gives you two bonus powers (one that [[Sir Bearington|guarantees that you will always be able to pass as human]] and one that gives you a combat form based on your Origin) and access to exclusive powers that directly manipulate the Renegade Virus around you. Renegade Beings still have to deal with an Impulse and all the other risks the Renegade Virus carries with it.
