Unknown Armies

This document should provide you with all the information you need to create a character in the Unknown Armies setting. Unknown Armies describes itself as a game of "Power and Consequences". It is a horror game set in the modern day. In order to effectively fill this genre, it is important that your character have some depth. You should put some thought into your character and give them background and motivations.

The Book

One quick note regarding the book. If you haven't read the book, there shouldn't be any need too - this guide should provide you with everything you need to know. If you have read the book, try to forget what you read. I am altering a number of the more advanced sections, in some cases, quite significantly. Using knowledge about these will lead you painfully wrong about as often as it gives you an advantage. Just focus on designing your character as a normal (ok, mostly normal) member of the everyday human race. I (the GM) will handle the rest.

The Content

The information you will need to build a character is as follows:

Game mechanics (so that you know what all the numbers mean)
Character generation procedures (of course)
Setting and style notes and some ideas to get you started

PDF character sheets can be acquired here. (Sheets will also be provided if you prefer.)

Outlines of characters that have been created will be posted to give people an idea of who their friends are.
