Character Creation
Your character can be a classic god or myth, adapted for the modern world. You can also play a more modern folk hero or archetype- Paul Bunyan or the aforementioned highway drifter (Vagabond King?) are perfectly good.
Traits
Make your character with a 5/4/3/1 split of best trait/strong trait/good trait/flaw. Note for me how/when your flaw applies.
Belief
You have 5 Belief (which takes the place of chi); this will vary during the game.
Notes and Background
Description, motivations, goals
Realm: what nook does your character call home?
Myth: tell us a myth that reveals something about your character. If you're using an old god, use an old myth or make up a new one. If you're using a new god, make up a myth to go along with him.
Recuperating: what does your character do to strengthen his belief in himself and kindle a spark of belief in others, in these times when no one tells his stories any more? Your character can do these things to regain Belief.
Rules
We'll be using Wushu Open, but diceless. Your chi pool is Belief, which represents the faith others have in you and the faith you have in yourself. It is used by gods for miracles large and small. If you are without Belief, you are out of the scene, having expended too much energy to remain. You may simply fall unconscious, or if too spent, might lose reality entirely and reform in your realm.
In a god's realm, he is mighty. Your traits are improved in your realm, and it responds to you. It is believed that none can enter your realm without your leave.
You normally regain Belief at one per scene, but a spirit can recuperate, taking part in activities which remind him of who and what he is. This will entirely replentish your Belief, at the cost of a scene.
