* '''[[Cyllian:Facts|Facts]]''' 1: Record your character's background.  This is where you are from.  It should indicate both where you're from geographically and your cultural background within that location.  I do not have details for the locations.  Those are for you to create.  You only need to record a sentence on your character sheet.

* Paragraph:  please write a short paragraph expanding your character's background from the Facts. This just gives me enough to weave your interests into the game.  Also, please explain how your character became godbound.  This can be a vision, a dream, an interaction at a temple, a trip to another world, or similar. Maybe you died, or should have, but didn't because something inside of you came out that saved you.  Be creative.  Tie it into your Words.

* Godbound uses the standard D&D '''[[Cyllian:Attributes|Attributes]]'''. Assign attributes using the array 16, 14, 13, 13, 10, 8.  When you select Words, many of them will advance a lower attribute to 16 automatically, or advance a 16 to an 18.  There are also Gifts that will automatically advance an attribute.  You may need to iterate a bit before deciding on your final set of attributes.
