| The first step in creating a [Character] is to come up with a simple concept for who or what they are. This is known as your Elevator Pitch. It serves as the foundation for every choice you make during Character Creation and gives you a clear idea of who your [Character] is once play begins.\\ | The first step in creating a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Character]] is to come up with a simple concept for who or what they are.

| \\ | \\ |
| Whenever you are asked to make a choice, there may be many good reasons to select one option over another. If you are ever unsure, your Elevator Pitch should be used as the tie-breaker. It can also help guide your decisions during play by giving you a better understanding of what your [Character] would do and the role they are intended to fill, both narratively and mechanically.\\ | Whenever you are asked to make a choice, there may be many good reasons to select one option over another.

Doing so allows everyone to see if any ideas overlap, complement one another or create interesting opportunities for teamwork. It also gives everyone a chance to make sure they are happy with how the group fits together before moving on. Also, it's fun. | **Please Note**: If you are creating [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Character|Characters]] as a group, this is a great time to go around the table and share your Elevator Pitches with one another.
