Creating A Gatalian
This is a resource to help you create characters native to Gatalia. It is not mandatory to follow this guide.
Picking A Region
You can use a character from any region you like. What region your character comes from might influence other parts of them, like their species, religions, names, and cultures they grew up with.
The following are character creation guides for regions which are developed:
You can create characters for other regions, but you will have to make a lot of things as you go.
Species
An in-depth overview can be found in Gatalian Humans.
A character's species has little to do with their culture, religions and upbringing. Instead, certain species are most common in particular areas, which may also correlate to their culture or religions they worship.
Species that do not come from an area can still be found elsewhere. This is especially the case due to recent innovations in sailing. Due to genetic differences, individuals who move to far away lands may have difficulty finding partners that will produce fertile offspring.
Traits and Ailments
Below is a table you can use to add unique traits to your characters. You can roll any number of times you like, choose a trait manually, or choose not to have any at all. The table is a resource and not mandatory.
| 2d20 | Trait | 2d20 | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | You have ocular or oculocutaneous albinism. | 22 | Your sensitive skin gives you acne, well into adulthood. |
| 3 | Your body is especially frail. You have osteoporosis. | 23 | You have partial or full colorblindness. |
| 4 | You have kyphosis. | 24 | Your metabolic rate is faster or slower than normal for your species. |
| 5 | Part of, or most of your body, grows much more hair much faster than normal. | 25 | You have asthma. |
| 6 | 26 | You have crooked or buck teeth. | |
| 7 | 27 | Your gait is weird. | |
| 8 | 28 | One of your senses is hyper-sensitive. You notice things other people might not, but you are overloaded easily. | |
| 9 | 29 | You have an anaphylactic allergy (ideas for allergens include: food or nuts, animal stings or bites, a herb or medicinal chemical, or contact with a fabric or substance). | |
| 10 | You are a survivor of amputation, whether of a limb or a digit. | 30 | Most things affect you more than they do most people. You are an emotional person. |
| 11 | You are deaf (your choice of acutely, mildly or severely). | 31 | There are portwine stains (or some other pigmentation) marking your skin. |
| 12 | You have a horrific scar somewhere on your body. | 32 | You were born with a facial disfigurement, which you are known for. |

| 15 | You are blind (your choice of acutely, mildly, or severely short-sighted, far-sighted, or totally blind). | 35 | The supernatural is normal to you. You have hallucinations, psychosis of some kind, or you are simply extremely spiritual. |
| 16 | You have allergic rhinitis (ideas for allergens include: pollen, dandruff of certain animals, mold, perfumes, dust such as dirt or refined flour or sugar, or microscopic parasites). | 36 | |
| 17 | Your underbite or overbite is greater than normal for your species. | 37 | Your muscles do not develop at the rate that they should. The low gravity of Gatalia affects you like it would an ordinary human. |
