-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). Finally the dice acquired for each category are assigned to assets that belong to that category. +Characters come in various shapes, sizes, forms, and with various assets.
