| ==Character Creation==
| | See: [[MAID CATastrophe Character Creation]]. Creation rules for other modules, such as the FATE Core conversion, have yet to be finalized. |
| What follows are the rules for creating the standard Kemomi characters in Catastrophe: The Role-Playing Game.<br/>
| |
| So long as it doesn’t become a problem, with the exception of Attributes, you may re-roll any of the aspects of character creation. <br/>
| |
| For example, if you don’t like a particular Special Quality, and can’t think of a way you can get into roleplaying that kind of character, then roll again and see what you get.<br/>
| |
| If you really want to play a single certain type of Kemomi, or have picked out a Stress Explosion type that you think is perfect, then ask the GM if it will work.<br/>
| |
| | |
| ==Step 1: Attributes==
| |
| '''Roll 2D6 and divide by 3 (rounding down) for each of the six Attributes below.'''<br/>

| ==Step 4: Rare Qualities==
| |
| The next step is to determine your 'Kemomi's rare Qualities. <br/>
| |
| These are various physical, mental, or social traits that distinguish a Kemomi from her fellows.
| |
| Normally Kemomi's get two Special Qualities, but the GM may wish to increase this to between 3 and 5 in order to make the game more interesting. <br/>
| |
| Keep in mind that it can be hard to make 3 or more special qualities play an actual role in the game. <br/>
| |
| For a starting game, we suggest sticking to two special qualities. <br/>
| |
| To determine the Kemomi's Special Qualities, roll 1D66 on the Rare Quality Table below. <br/>

| ==Step 6: Favor 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) 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 Kemomi.
| |
| The GM (The Nyador Counsel) hands out points of Favor to the Kemomi characters
| |
| whenever they deserve it. 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:

| A Kemomi whose Favor drops below 0 is banished by the Counsel or their party. To avoid being dismissed, Kemomi 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), until the maid has 0 or more Favor. Of course, that means that Kemomi can wind up on a downward spiral of reduced ability.

| ==Step 8: Name and Age==

| Finally, write down your Kemomi's name and age, determine these by choice or dice roll <br/>
