			Dread characters are a lot of fun! I really feel like I know a lot about Ken, more than I would other characters. This is a good method of character creation, except for two things. firstly, the question shave to be prepared by the GM and can be leading. Secondly, thr answers don't really translate into stats very well. To clarify, by stats I mean actionable traits. It's not really clear how these answers come out through play.

A character for ''Dread'', created by Screen Monkey. <br>

== Campaign ==

In Dread, every character is created for a single game from a set of questions prepared by the GM specifically for the adventure. Since Dread is a game where each character bar one ususally dies during an adventure, this works kind of well and doesn't really lend itself to campaign play.

This character is for the scenario 'Beneath the Full Moon', in which a group of students on a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon are menaced by a werewolf. Yikes.

Te stats below therefore take the form of a series of questions and answers.

	My study of philosophers of the Classical world will really help me get a job after graduation as a travel guide in Greece and Italy.
