HIGH CONCEPT

A high concept title is your character distilled down to five words or less. This section is where you lay out your character's core pieces. Tell us what your character is about--what they do, who they are--and how they differ from others of their character type. How is your character going to be played? What sorts of stories will you tell? How do they fit into the world of Ashdown? This section is for broad strokes and should be no more than 3-5 sentences. You can go into more detail later!

TROUBLE

Your character's trouble is their main personal plot going into the story. "Deal with their new powers" is not really a good trouble because everyone shares it, and your character is a person before they get their powers! They can be internal, stemming from inner turmoil or aspects of their identity, or external, stemming from an outside cause. It could be personal demons, family reputation, obstacles in the path of their personal goals… but essentially be things than can be worked with, struggled with, and dealt with through their game progression. Also think about how these troubles could stem from or connect with your high concept!

While your trouble exists to complicate your character's story and give you fodder for plot conflict moving forward, it shouldn't take over everything your character does. There is definitely space for characters like Uchiha Sasuke, but that's not a character that will be easily knit into the storyline. Consider how you're going to interact with other players, characters and the unique unexpected nature of Ashdown as you write your Trouble and it will pay off as soon as you get into the game.

We ask you to include this so that we can easily create story threads linking your characters into the game's plot. Ashdown has quest prompts offering story hooks, rewards, or powers that would otherwise be unavailable.

POWER

What is your character's innate power? This is something small that carries through into your character's waking/real life and is developed upon becoming a Dreamer. The universe does this for them more than they do it for them self. Consider it a passive ability rather than an applied skill. So instead of 'Speaks to animals' consider, 'animals seem attracted to them', or instead of 'Creates light sources' try 'rooms always seem to have just enough light to see'. Less power application and more mysterious circumstance. Remember that these powers can be expanded upon and leveled up as time goes by if you so choose.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Is there anything else you think we should know? This is where you put history and personality details that don't fit in the expansion of your high concept, relationships (for good or ill) your character has with others, etc. This is also where information like their age, the location of their main stomping grounds, appearance, hobbies, personality quirks, etc goes. Just because this is an "other" section doesn't mean it won't have stuff in it! Consider it the free-form section.
