| ==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: 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 Kemomi.<br/>
| |
| The GM (The Nyador Counsel) hands out points of Favor to the Kemomi 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/>

| | Roll Bonus
| |
| | Spend 1D6 Favor to add +1 to either the die roll or your attribute score for one action.

| | |
| A Kemomi whose Favor drops below 0 is banished by the Counsel or their party. <br/>
| |
| 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), <br/>
| |
| until the maid has 0 or more Favor. Of course, that means that Kemomi can wind up on a downward spiral of reduced ability.<br/>
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Step 8: Name and Age==
| |
| Finally, write down your Kemomi's name and age, determine these by choice or dice roll <br/>
