	Pick your character's concept, find a name, flesh out details of who your character is, what his (or her) theme, purpose, goal and family is like along with what else you deem relevant. Then make up up to 5 skills which suits what you think your character does well. At this point you can exchange up to two skills for extra damage reduction or hit points (see [[#Combat\|Combat]]).

Then make up up to 5 skills which suits what you think your character does well. At this point you can exchange up to two skills for extra damage reduction or hit points (see [[#Combat\|Combat]]).

	The skills must be somewhat specific in nature. This means that it is not enough to pick Violence, Athletics or Smart. Make sure you do not make them too specific either – broad skills like ”close combat” is as broad as it should ever get. You can build on top of this with increasingly specific skills like Sword Fighting followed by Stabbing if you wish. Skill suggestions running, occult, shooting, Throwing, Explosives, Thievery, Martial Arts, Punching, Melee, Survival, Sniping, Swords, Race Car Driving, Chemistry, Engineering and the likes. In the end the Game Master decides what is too specific and what is not specific enough.		The skills must be somewhat specific in nature.

Others may prefer more freeform and allow skills like "Psionics" to mean anything from telekinesis to mind reading or any other psionics related power.
