*“Whip don’t know who picked Whip’s hands to be quick or his heart to hum. But someone did. Someone out there stitched Whip together just right—gave him the grin, the groove, and the glimmer of purpose. Whip thinks that’s mighty kind. Mighty strange, too.”*
— [[Whip]], Founder of [[The Enlisted]] —
# The First Part of Any Adventure
## *Grab Your Hammer*
Before you swing a sword, cast a spell, or whisper your name into the void, you must be forged.
Every Fell arrives in the world of [[About Us|LoreFell]] with a shape, a spark, and a question. Who are you? Where did you come from? And why were you chosen when so many were not?
Creating your character is where your story begins, and you are the blacksmith holding the hammer. Pick out your metals. Set the framework. Stoke the forge.
It’s time to make your Fell.

### Step 1: Obtain a Character Sheet
You can begin by obtaining [the official LoreFell character sheet found here](https://www.lorefell.com/_files/ugd/74f6a7_fbd1dfcc30c247d6b35aef0011c91ad5.pdf), or if you are playing an online game in our Discord community, an easier option may be to go through [Quest Portal using this character sheet template](https://app.questportal.com/template/LoreFell-Sheet-V3-k4f78afrlwe7).
### Step 2: Core Starting Stats
Every Fell begins with a few essentials, anchors in the chaos of their awakening.
#### ✦5 [[The FellGuide/The FellGuide/2 - The Characters/The Skills/Magic Skills/Vitality|Vitality]]
Your lifeblood. Mark this in the Max Vitality box on your sheet. This is your total health at level 1.
#### ✦5 [[Mobility]]
This defines how many spaces you can move in combat. Write 5 in your Mobility shield on the character sheet.
#### ✦5 Origin Points
These are your first [[Skills|skill]] investments. Choose up to 5 different skills, placing 1 point in each. You may not double up competencies in skills at character creation. Skills represent learned knowledge, instincts, or fragments of memory carried into this life.
If you want a starting template for Origin Points as well as the next step (investing your [[Ascension Crystals|Ascension Crystal]]), head to the [[Origins]] section to get a pre-generated template for skill and [[Attributes|attribute]]
assignment.
#### ✦1 Ascension Crystal
Your first step toward identity and power. This crystal represents your soul’s investment in what defines your character. It also determines what kind of starting gear you'll receive.
### Step 3: Spending Your Ascension Crystal
Now comes the moment of definition. Choose 1 attribute to invest your Ascension Crystal into. You may not invest in Vitality or Mobility as those are already set.
Your chosen attribute determines your character’s starting focus.

Write a 1 next to your chosen attribute. This is your starting attribute score.
Need help deciding?
You can visit the [[Arsenal of Lore]] to explore each path in detail. Or, as mentioned before, if you'd prefer a ready-made build simply turn to the [[Origins]] section for tailored templates already tried and tested.
### Step 4: Bring Your Fell to Life
Next we shape the soul behind the stats.
* [[Lineages]]: Choose from one of LoreFell’s unique lineages or create your own.
* Name: What do others call you… and what did you once call yourself?
* [[Motivations]]: What drives you through the broken worlds? Redemption? Curiosity? Vengeance?
* Description: Detail your appearance, mannerisms, quirks, and past (if remembered).
This is your opportunity to craft a being unlike any other... flawed, powerful, and meaningful.
## Drumroll...
That’s it! You have forged your first Fell.
You’ve chosen your stats. You’ve channeled your crystal. You’ve shaped a soul. Now it’s time to arm them.
Head to the [[Arsenal of Lore]] next. There, you’ll determine the exact [[Weapons|weapon]], [[Armor|armor]], or [[Lorebounds|lorebound]]and your attribute path unlocks. Once equipped, your character is ready to begin their journey.
Polish your dice. Roll up your sleeves. Your story begins now.
