📄️ Getting Started
Building a character is an exciting chance to shape how you’ll interact with the world and its challenges. You’ll begin by following the steps below.
📄️ 01. Choose a Background
When creating a character, players pick one background which defines a character's past experiences and training within their eventual chosen Trade. It determines the initial points a player can allocate in various areas to represent areas of focus and opportunity the character had during their early development.
📄️ 02. Choose a Species
Choosing a species in 7th Extinction is about more than just picking a set of stats, it's about defining how your character experiences the world. Each species possesses distinct physical traits, cultural backgrounds, and core abilities that influence how you solve problems, interact with others, and survive in this scarred future. Will you harness the raw power of a Choque, rely on a Rhuun’s preternatural dexterity, or opt for another path entirely?
📄️ 03. Choose a Trade
A character's Trade is more than just a job title; it encapsulates their distinct profession, class, or archetype. This aspect of character creation is crucial, as it not only defines their specialised skills and abilities but also carves out their unique identity within the game's universe.

📄️ 07. Flesh out your Character
Developing your character’s background, motivations, goals, and personal connections not only adds depth to your roleplaying experience but also helps the Game Master weave your story into the larger narrative. By outlining key details such as significant life events, driving forces behind your actions, and the punter you can call upon when the stakes are high, you create a richer, more engaging character. This level of detail ensures your hero (or antihero) feels authentic, while giving everyone at the table exciting hooks to explore, respond to, and build upon throughout the campaign.
