Character Creation

The character sheet below has a brief character creation checklist at right along with skills list. I can provide a direct link to the spreadsheet on request.

Morphs

Generic morph types have specific advantages and disadvantages in various areas. These are presented in + or - adjustments to the character’s core skills or stress boxes. Note that these are applicable both as differences from their personal morph if they resleeve, or when choosing the initial morph, so that some morphs will have specific advantages and disadvantages from the start.

(Note that, unless stated, biomorphs are not simply baseline humans: they are genetically engineered, uplifted, mutated, and heavily tweaked semi-artificial organisms. Almost all humanity outside the Jovian Republic is transhumanity, to a greater or lesser degree.)

The generic morph characteristics are further modified by the specific type/model of morph. All morphs are assumed to have cortical stacks and mesh inserts unless ruled otherwise (e.g. Jovian characters, infoserfs, etc.) A few morphs prevent any access to certain skills or capabilities.
