Character Creation Rules

Use the rules from the corebook. There must be one Patrol leader and no one can be a Guard Captain. If anyone needs any help, or the corebook, PM me. Please discuss character concept before creating them, just so people have an idea of what everyone else is planning.

I'd also like to create a guard mouse to join the patrol, but I'm not sure its a good idea for the GM to also be a PC. Thoughts?

I GMPC all the time; it's a useful plot feed, devil's advocate, etc. There's an art to doing it, but it mostly just involves contributing to the atmosphere and story, but not getting in the way when it gets serious.

Drugs.

Also will need the corebook, and do you know if foxit will allow me to edit the character sheet?

EDIT: Nevermind, just remembered that I saved the corebook last time.

Look up Form Fillable Mouseguard character sheet. I found one pretty quickly, but couldn't post the link.

What do people want to play as?

I hadn't decided yet. Probably the younger type with a sword, but beyond that, I have no idea.

I'm thinking I am going to make a gossipy pathfinder/cartographer. Felt like a gossip would give me an excuse for (very) occasional exposition dumps. The Cartographer bit just seemed fun and different. Making a few tweaks, it should be up soon.

Just getting started on mine.

Here's what I have so far, obviously with some holes still left in it: http://www.4shared.com/office/3VArpWqS/MGFillableSheet.html

And my notes from chargen:

Nature: Doesn't save, doesn't hide, doesn't fear

Natural talents:
Fighter, Orator

Parents: Smith, boatcrafter

Social skill: Orator

Senior Artisan: Smith

Mentor stress: Healing, Fighting (if you're going to keep being a twit, at least learn to bandage yourself properly and not die)

Guard Experience: Fighter, Scout, Weather Watcher

Resources: winter trade? Yes. Have to eat, after all. Parents smiths? Yes. Bad with money? Yes.

Circles: Gregarious/charismatic, nothing else

Friend: Curt, a childhood friend from Port Sumac, whose parents traveled the Darkwater/Rustleaf route. His parents were family friends, and they would usually stay with Devlin's family while they were in the area. He still travels the route, now without his parents, who settled down in Fort Sumac, and can be found pretty much anywhere along it.

Enemy: Devlin's first mentor, Eric. Eric was a solid fighting instructor, but a jaded cynic. His cynicism was responsible in large part for Devlin's hyperactive idealism, and when they parted ways (which each of them proposed at about the same time), they each independently swore to never become like the other. Eric and Devlin are basically two sides of the same coin, but Eric is what Devlin could become if he lets the world get to him. Devlin is more than a little afraid of turning into Eric, because he is well aware of their similarities; that was why they ended up together at first, before their basic ideological differences caused them to seek re-assignment. Eric is now stationed in Wolfepointe.

Brenden, what's your cartographer going to be rank-wise? I can do a patrol leader if you and DCF don't want to.

(Sorry for belated reply, I was almost done with a full wright up but I seem to have lost it.)

The Mouse will be Patrol Guard.

Here's the gist of mine.
