# Chapter Two: Characters <a name="characters"></a>
Before playing Autonomous Garden, Players will have to make a character. If you
could live in this world, who would you want to be? Try to create a character
that you can immerse yourself in to explore the world thru. They might just be
a more idealized version of yourself or based of your favorite fictional
character.

The player characters are the protagonists of the story that will be told by
playing the game. They are the players' link to the game world, as well has
their voice in the story. They don't need to be perfect, our world is not one
of perfection but one of change, something that good characters do over the
course of a story. So don't feel locked into the decisions you make in the
beginning.

## Character Concept <a name="characterConcept"></a>
Start off with your character decide on a general concept, this is usually a
job with a few adjectives, or maybe an established character with a slight
tweak.

Concepts might change as players figure out what they want to play, and what
will work good in the same group and fit the setting and themes. It's on the
players to build characters that work well with and are willing to involve
themselves in the plot.

## Defining Characters <a name="definingCharacters"></a>
The following questions proved a basic background that players may wish to use.
Players and Game Moderators can add more questions as they see fit. The answers
to these questions can get kind of long so it is advised to use a separate
sheet of paper for backgrounds.

+ What is the character’s name and/or nickname?
+ What is the character’s gender and pronouns?
+ What is the character's race?
+ What is the character's age?
+ What is the character's religion and practice?
+ What is the character’s physical appearance?
+ What is the character’s occupation?
+ Which organizations does the character belong to?
+ What is the character’s lifestyle like?
+ Where is the character from?
+ Who are the character’s friends and rivals?
+ What is the character’s family like, and relationship?
+ Does the character's have romantic relationships?
+ Does the character know other PCs and how?
+ Does the character have any secrets?

## Goals <a name="goals"></a>
Goals tell us what a character wants to achieve. These might be based on that
character's beliefs, motivation, or backstory. Motivations will help characters
gain [plot points](#plotPoints)

These goals shouldn't be something that is so simple that it is
achievable in a single test, or so complex that it it would never get
done in the campaign. It can be something like defeating the antagonist but
but will usually be more personal, like asking out an NPC the character has had
a crush on for months.

Decide on one of each of the following:
A short term goal, something achievable in a session.
A long term goal, something achievable by the end of the campaign.
A community goal, something that your community is working towards.

## Values <a name="values"></a>
A character's values will influence their decisions. These are the reasons why
a character does what they do. If used correctly they will help build a strong,
dynamic character. Groups should aim to have characters with compatible values
to allowing everyone to trust one another and not need an authority to force
them all to work together.

Two characters might share the same goal but their values will tell you how
they might go about achieving those goals.

Pick 3-5 values

+ Achievement
+ Adventure
+ Aesthetic
+ Autonomy
+ Caring
+ Challenge
+ Change and Variety
+ Competition
+ Cooperation
+ Creativity
+ Ecological stability
+ Economic security
+ Excitement
+ Family happiness
+ Free Time
+ Freedom
+ Friendship
+ Health
+ Help others
+ Inner harmony
+ Integrity
+ Intellectual status
+ Knowledge
+ Leadership
+ Leisure
+ Location
+ Loyalty
+ Pleasure
+ Power
+ Precision
+ Responsibility
+ Recognition
+ Stability
+ Social Justice
+ Spirituality
+ Wealth
+ Wisdom

## Moreaus
Moreaus are genetically engineered human and other animal hybrids. The result
of a black project dating back to at least the cold war, Moreaus were created
to be super soldiers and used in places that drones couldn't go without loss of
human life. Before birth the fetus has animal DNA grafted onto it's own which
causes significant animal characteristic. They are rare but still common enough
that people know about them.

## Attributes <a name="attributes"></a>
The broadest strokes of what a character is good at are displayed in their
attributes. All characters have the same 8 basic attributes that cover their
physical and mental abilities. Athletic characters will usually have higher
Body while social characters will have higher charisma.

### Picking Attributes
Players are given a number of Attribute Points(APs) to purchase all the
attributes that define their character. The cost of any attribute is listed
next to the rating, a negative rating will refund a number a APs. Any APs left
over can be used to buy more [Plot Points](#plotPoints) on a one for one
basis.

Your average Joe off the street has 0 APs, enough for 0s in all attributes.
Player characters are above average, they have 30 APs. And finally Major NPCs
have 50 APs.

Average Joe | PC | Major NPC
:---: | :---: | :---:
0 | 30 | 50

Rating | Cost | Description | Deadlift
:---: | --- | --- | ---
+5 | 30 | Amazing | 180 kg
+4 | 30 | Super Human | 140 kg
+3 | 30 | Human Limit      | 115 kg
+2 | 20 | Highly Developed | 95 kg
+1 | 10 | Above Average    | 80 kg
 0 | 0\* | Average Adult   | 70 kg
-1 | -5\* | Below Average  | 60 kg
-2 | -10\* | Undeveloped   | 50 kg
-3 | -15\* | Human Minimum | 40 kg

\*increases an attribute to this level with experience points costs a flat 5
points.

The deadlift column shows the maximum weight that can be deadlifted and carried
a few paces based on the character's body attribute. Thus, a character with a
+2 Body can heft around 95 kg and stagger for a few steps before running into
difficulty. A mass equal to half the deadlift capacity can be held above the
head and a mass double the deadlift capacity can be dragged along.

### Quick Attribute Set
To move the character process along, players can choose to just pick out
attributes instead of tracking the costs themselves. For a quick set of
attributes characters can take a single +2, three +1s, two 0s, and two -1s.
This comes out being the standard 30 points.

those that are used most commonly in play. Players and GMs can come up with
additional Skills and applications, as needed for their game.

### Picking Skills

Secondary Attributes are labeled that way because they are not selected like
the basic Attributes, but are derived on the latter. They represent facets of
the character’s physical abilities but are never rolled.

The character’s Secondary Attributes are calculated using the following
formulas. Although the formulas appear involved, most of them are simply an
addition of a number to a multiple on an Attribute. All secondary attributes
have a minimum value of 1.

Attribute | Formula
--- | ---
**Wound Threshold** |
Flesh Wound Level | 3 + Body
Deep Wound Level | 2x Flesh Wound Level

Run | 1/2 Sprint speed, rounded up to nearest increment of 5
Sprint | 30 + 5x Body

injured. If damage dealt does not beat the flesh would level it does no damage
worth recording but it still hurts the Character.

of them are not shown on character sheets.

**Run:** 15 + 5x Body per round.

**Sprint:** 30 + 10x Body per round.

## Plot Points<a name="plotPoints"></a>
Eventually protagonists will be down on their luck, but for the story to go on
something needs to happen outside the normal rules, that's where *Plot Points*
come in. Plot points are a pool of resource for players to have more narrative
agency in game, while still giving challenge to their characters. Points are
spent on various effects listed below.

Newly created Player characters start with 3 Plot Points and will gain 1 for an
especially good narration. Antagonists can use PPs as well, though in general
henchmen shouldn’t.

## Downtime and Experience <a name="downtime"></a>
Characters gain 1 xp at the end of each session and an additional 1 at the end
of an arc.

In between sessions PCs go about their day to day lives, take time to recover,
and prepare for things to come. This is where PCs will spend their experience
points.

+ Acquire
+ Long term project
+ Make things
+ Train

### Acquire
The character can set up favors to temporarily gain the benefits of one of the
following:

+ A special item
+ An ally
+ A vehicle
+ A service

### Long Term Project
Long term projects cover a verity of activities, such as starting/improving a
food forest, establishing someone's trust, making a new friend, doing research
on a target, etc.

Based on the project, the GM will set the cost for the activity.

Project | Cost
--- | :---:
Food forest | 4
Establish trust | 3
New friend | 2

### Make Things
Characters with the right skills can often produce items and goods themselves,
which reduces the cost to buy and item by 1. The character will have to make a
TN 4 craft test. Obviously only items that can reasonably be crafted in a week
can be made, anything longer than that is better modeled with long term project
event. A failed test leaves the project unfinished and a fumble destroys the
project, and the player will have to acquire new components to try again.

### Train
Most players will want to improve their character's abilities ether by
improving their skills or attributes. Most perks can aquired and flaws paid off
during downtime, however it might be worth checking with the GM first.
