CHARACTER CREATION
Follow the prompts below to create a new character; post your character sheet in this thread.
YOU WERE RAISED IN THE GREAT CITY OF UNUG.
The cradle of civilisation, nestled between the Idigina (Tigris) and Buranuna (Euphrates) rivers. You were someone before the flood, but those titles are gone now.

THE GODS SHATTERED UNUG LIKE A CUP.
The earth was flattened by fiery wind and rushing water. Old ways were abandoned one by one, until only survival remained.
â¤HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THE FLOOD?
Take two skills at d8 or one at d10:
1 Brawling

A NEW WORLD STRUGGLES FROM THE RUINS.
Humanity has been abandoned by the fickle gods. The ghosts of Unug haunt your dreams and all that is left is what you can build.

1 A crew of hardy loggers and carpenters
