Example of character creation!

So over on my Twitter, I rolled up a character for a RWBY setting in ChargeQuest! Here's how it went..

I have a lot of cool Extras made for ChargeQuest, but a lot of the basic stuff is still left up to the player - I feel like every setting should be set up a little differently, depending on what makes sense for the universe. For a RWBY character, I'm going to make the three "Hero" skills their Semblance, the two "Companions" their weapon, and the three "Hirelings" into skills they have. I feel like the Semblance should be three skills in the same Charge Attribute, so let's roll one of those first.

Using the Charge Attributes/Actions here, I roll a d12 and get.. a 10. So, the character's Semblance lets them Command people better. Interesting! Now I'll roll twice more in the Resolve Attribute. Roll 1d4 twice and I got.. two 3s. So, Focus!

I went ahead and generated a random name for this character too, and got "Saffron Snapdragon". An interesting start.. a character whose special power allows them to Focus intently and gain some influence over others.. I can work with that! Now, on to their weapon!

Rolling 1d12 again gets me.. Move, Command, Bond, and Focus for the Actions for the character's weapon. I'm sensing a theme here! Let's put Command and Bond into one part, and Move and Focus into the other. One form helps the character move faster and focus better, and the other enhances their social skills. Interesting!

Random Generation calls the weapon "Demon Gear". All these rolls on Focus got me thinking maybe this is a character with a mage or priest/paladin motif, someone who helps other and commands their team. I'll come back to the weapon, I have a cool idea for it ^^

Rolling 1d12 three more times for skills gives me.. Muscle, Finesse, and.. Command again, ha! Yeah, this is totally a team leader! Okay, let's sum them up so far..

• Name: Saffron Snapdragon 
• Semblance: "Saintscan", Saffron enters a trance-like state, gaining enhanced awareness and a mental bird's-eye view of the surrounding area. She can hyper-focus on anything nearby and better command her allies.

So there's our Focus +2 and Command +1!

On to her weapon.. something that enhances her Move and Focus seems like something you'd ride. ..you know what? Let's go crazy with this. Saffron's special gear is a mechanized wheelchair.

"Demon Gear" A mechanized mobility device used by Saffron. "Angel Mode" has four legs that allow the device to climb stairs and easily navigate, also has a built-in tablet-like scroll. When she needs to fight, it shifts to "Devil Mode", adding armor and enhancing her speed.

Saffron has constantly modified and enhanced Demon Gear over the course of her life, adding various tools and tricks(+1 Finesse). She takes time to work out and make sure she can fight even without Demon Gear(+1 Muscle), and she's a natural team leader(+1 Command).

Cards created: 

• Saffron Snapdragon 
  • +2 Focus
  • +1 Command 
•  Demon Gear(Angel Mode)
  • +1 Bond
  • +1 Command
• Demon Gear(Devil Mode)
  • +1 Move
  • +1 Focus
• Combat Training
  • +1 Muscle
• Tricks and Tools
  • +1 Finesse
• Team Leader
  • +1 Command

Now I have six cards, three which could be used for any character!

All that was just with randomly rolling and using the rules for ChargeQuest. This character is ready to go, a lot of lore was created, and generic cards which can be mixed into the deck to make future characters were created too!
