− | The Hero represents the very competent veteran soldier, the all-rounder with an interesting past, the billionaire scientist patron, the Polymath engineer, the intelligence agent planted in the project, the counterintelligence agent planted in the project, the ex-astronaut explorer, the eccentric genius who designed the MEM, the UN liaison officer with special forces training, the shady one the Swiss government insists on being present.

− | Heroes tend to have a past that puts them where they are now. They are highly skilled in many fields and have well defined roles, already established. The expeditions are something their previous lives have already prepared them for, in some way.
| |
− | | |
− | The Companion is the regular person who gets caught up in the expeditions in the course of their work or interests. The brilliant field botanist, the 14-year old kid with the high IQ and perfect photographic memory, the UN soldier/field tech, the nosy reporter they couldn't keep away, the selfish rich guy who invested the family fortune so he could travel to another world, the medic with a heart of gold.

| Use of skill: Unless some truly unusual situation comes about, skill checks are usually based around Dexterity plus Pilot. Penalties of a range from -1 to even -10 can be applied for weather conditions and familiarity with aircraft. After all, the first time you fly a death-glider is a lot different than flying an F-16. | | Use of skill: Unless some truly unusual situation comes about, skill checks are usually based around Dexterity plus Pilot.

− | Many of the worlds are populated by humans that have evolved differently from those on Earth (not all of them naturally). Basically, simply use the Demon Creation Rules and a little common sense (as well as input from your Director) from the Angle Core Rulebook, and come up with a near-Human race that can be met on any journey through a Membrane. | + | Many of the worlds are populated by humans that have evolved differently from those on Earth (not all of them naturally).
