[In Flames] Awakening

[Mr Nay]

Everything is dark, you are cold. All you can remember are snatches of a heavenly existence, and a terrible fall from grace.

In your minds eye your internal body temperature, bio-rhythms and time and date are displayed; no wonder you are cold.
Other functions are booting up, now it says you are linked to the ships com-net. You have been in coldsleep for a week

Something clicks and clunks then hisses as something above you slides up and away. Light floods in and burns your eyes.
The data in your minds eye remains on the periphery of your vision as you look around; futuristic sarcophagi fill a cold sterile room.
Other people are rising out of their resting places.

There is a voice in your mind. The display tells you it is the ship's computer Xiphos.

Welcome back, when you are ready, please come to the bridge, I have an important message for you all.

In case you were wondering, this is going to be the character creation thread for In Flames.

Your characters were godlike post-humans called loa who have been exiled from a paradise beyond material reality called the understar and trapped in frail mortal bodies.
Unable to recall the crime they committed or much of the understar itself, the exiles have to hunt down barons, beings possessed by out of control loa, so they can go home.

I will go through character creation step by step in the following posts.
If your interested in making a character just chime in and follow along, it is really easy.

The player characters for In Flames are Exiles. Normal citizens of the flame system whose minds has been overwritten by those of god-like posthumans called the Loa.

NAME: The character has two names that of the host before the Exile possessed it and that of the Exile itself.

PAST: What was the character before the coming of the Exile? Think of a real world profession and put a sci-fi spin on it. The host were relatively normal people prior to their possession. They might have been doctors, teachers, pilots, AI programmers, diplomats etc.
Finally give the character two relationships with the past, these could be people, organisations or family.

ATTRIBUTES: There are four attributes, Might, Agility, Wit and Charm. You have 10 dice (D) to spread between the four Attributes.
Each attribute must have a minimum of one dice added to it, the maximum you can have in any one attribute is four dice.
It is possible to split dice. Each dice is worth 3 'pips,' a pip is a +1 bonus. An attribute can only have a +1 or +2 pips, going to "+3" is equal to one die so it is the equivalent of just adding another dice.
Example of progression is 1D, 1D+1, 1D+2, 2D, 2D+1, 2D+2, 3D, 3D+1, etc.
