===Melanie===
**APPRENTICESHIP: Armorer. Melanie's trainers, The Braun Sisters, were true artists of the smithy. Melanie worked the bellows for them (it was an extraordinary design driven by a rotating wheel a strong mouse can run inside) and would let nobody else do this job, because she was the only one who could maintain a steady pace.

==Setting Notes==
+
Choose 1 skill to learn from your mouse's youth: Weaver
----
+
Choose 1 personality trait: Guard's Honor (While a true and loyal friend, Melanie is not particularly generous- she actually is a bit selfish and impatient.)
==Rules (the Basics)==
 
  
===Dice Tests - Obstacles, Successes, & Traitors===
+
NATURAL TALENT: Scout, Fighter
 +
(I changed "laborer" to "scout". Melanie is good at finding ways over or around obstacles and helping others travel trails.)
  
Dice tests
+
PARENTS: Carpenter, Laborer (Guy and Ariel)
 +
(Melanie loves to help smart people build things, and can follow almost any instructions. I changed "stonemason" to "laborer".)
  
===The "Arthas" - Fate & Persona===
+
YOUR SNIVEL SKILL: Persuader
 +
(Melanie has a forceful personality- you might even say she's loud and bossy.)
  
What are Fate & Persona points? These are similar to drama points in other systems. Spending these points give an edge in overcoming Obstacles.
+
APPRENTICESHIP: Armorer
 +
Melanie's trainers, The Braun Sisters, were true artists of the smithy. Melanie worked the bellows for them (it was an extraordinary design driven by a rotating wheel a strong mouse can run inside) and would let nobody else do this job, because she was the only one who could maintain a steady pace.
  
Fate, in the words of Luke Crane, is like "fortune smiling down on your character". Good karma for being a good roleplayer.
+
APPRENTICESHIP 2: Healer, Survivalist
 +
Melanie's mentor, Liela, was an herbalist
  
Spending Fate is done after a roll in which you've made some 6s. You get to count those 6s as successes, pick those dice up, and roll them again to try for more successes! (Subsequent 6s also count as successes & get to be rerolled for more until you stop rolling 6s).
+
EXPEREINCE: Hunter, Laborer
 +
When working for the guard, Melanie has had rather boring assignments, but has helped run some trap lines.
  
...
+
BELIEF: "I can face any challenge."
  
Persona... this is that inner fire, the extra "reserve" of guts & the Guardsmouse's sense of duty to push through and deliver.
+
GOAL: "Prove yourself to the older guardmice."
 
 
One Persona point can either...
 
Add +1D to your roll. Up to 3 Persona points can be burned this way, but this must be done PRIOR to rolling/testing your ability.
 
-or-
 
Tap Nature. You can add your Nature rating to ANY test. If it is in keeping with Mouse nature (Escaping, Climbing, Hiding, Foraging), this has no effect on your Nature rating. If it doesn't fit with the Nature of Mice, then your Nature is temporarily drained by 1.
 
 
 
(I will discuss Nature at length later.)
 
 
 
...
 
 
 
Earning Fate. Easier of the two to gain in play. You can earn 3 per session (fixing the moose problem will pretty much be the length of the "session").
 
 
 
    * Act on your mouse's Belief. (1 award per session) If your mouse's Belief spurs him or her to make a decision and act, it's worth a Fate point.
 
    * Work towards your mouse's Goal. (1 per session) advancing towards completing the Goal but not finishing it is worth a Fate point.
 
    * Following your mouse's Instinct. (1 per session) if your mouse triggers the action in his/her Instinct, it's worth a Fate point.
 
 
 
 
 
Earning Persona. Harder, requires more investment by you.
 
 
 
    * Accomplishing your mouse's Goal.
 
    * Work against your mouse's Belief. Tough to do, as it requires "a cool and dramatic" action to earn it. This is a dramatic intensity roleplaying award.
 
    * Be the MVP. After the session is over, and everyone agrees the mission couldn't have succeeded without your mouse, you get the MVP award. Your mouse killed the big bad, did the glitzy thing.
 
    * Be the workhorse. The "unsung hero" award, in contrast to MVP (you cannot be both). Your mouse did the grunt work, had the right skills & wises to address the most stuff in play.
 
    * Embodiment. If you did a great job roleplaying throughout the game, you can earn a Persona point.
 
  
 +
INSTINCT: "I never shirk on a task; I dive in head first and work hard!"
