| Each character has a number of backgrounds that represent where they are from, who they know and what they do to survive. These dice are applied in contests where the experiences from their background would make the character more effective in a contest. They also include relationships with individuals from that particular background. | Each character has a number of backgrounds that represent where they are from, who they know and what they do to survive.

| - | Characters come in various shapes, sizes, forms, and with various assets. To define these, first the player fills out the character life-path questionnaire. Then the player uses the answer to select a type below (PSH, Mutant Human, Mutant Animal, Mutant Plant, or Android). Then the player chooses strengths for each die category (weakness, average, strength, or superiority). | + | Characters come in various shapes, sizes, forms, and with various assets.

| - | Example: Roger decides that his character’s mutation category will have an average die strength, and selects three d6 rated mutations. He then decides he would like a couple more minor mutations, and so selects two d6 defects (he could have taken three, but settles on two). This then allows him to take two more d4 mutations. | + | Example: Roger decides that his character’s mutation category will have an average die strength, and selects three 6 rated mutations.
