-During this phase players will create certain basic concepts about the nature of play, and then basic main character concepts that fit that nature. The concept should probably involve the characters being peripatetic or some other explanation of a way in which the characters come across enough elements of the world to keep play involving discovery of new things. +During this phase players will create certain basic concepts about the nature of play.

 +==== Player Roles ==== 
 + 
 +Before creating characters, players select roles for the game. This is done first, as selection of roles my influence how players generate characters. The roles that may be selected are: 
 + 
 +  * Main Character Player - this player will play one or more of the main characters of the game. Main character here defined as ones who the players agree to keep the plot revolving around.  
 +  * Non-main Character Player - this player will be assigned to play characters who are not main characters. The plot does not revolve around non-main characters and the action rarely, if ever, follows them solely.  
 +  * World-Builder - this role involves the player being involved in the world-building mechanics, and making up details about the nature of the world as needed.  
 +  * Event Creator - this role involves coming up with events to be played out in scenes (typically involving one or more main characters).  
 +  * Others? 
 + 
 +The default is that all players do everything to start.  
 + 
 +=== Changing Roles === 
 + 
 +At certain times in the game, a player may drop or add a role. They may not drop a role, however, if they are the last player who has that role. They must instead wait until somebody else takes up that role before they may drop it.
