I had to travel to the city to work in the past 2 days and I have in general neglected the character creation challenge but sometimes I do two characters a day so I’m still hopeful that I might make it.
Anyway, below is a character I’ve generated for 7th seas, again being slightly bored with Fate Core. But for the character concept, I really can’t be bothered with answering 20 questions so I just cheated and replaced it with a description ala Fate Core’s high concept.
